That's about all I admire. I curse those do-gooders in the various levels of our Government who are letting it happen a little at a time.

Frankly if they have as much disdain for the British way of life as this suggests and hate the same democracy that allows them freedom of speech as much as this suggests the hypocrites can take a hike.

well i suppose as an atheist i'll be dangling from the back of a hiab when they take over , still thats preferable to actually joining them .

I'd say make that 4, but they'd never take me alive, and it'd be sure to slot as many as possible before checking out. ;)

Good legal point Bricktop but did they have that permission in Luton not so long ago. After all, it was their protest. Lets face the facts; It is now an offence to offend another religion in the UK. Certain parts of the UK cannot celebrate Christmas for fear of offending others. It is considered an insult to preach Christianity in some areas now. Time we got a government to stand up for OUR way of life, not the interlopers that want to change us. What next; Sharia law.

I don't think they have any intention of doing the march. same as they won't be sending the letters to the families of British soldiers.

With all due respect most of that is down to over zealous local council workers.Complain in enough numbers to your local councillor and he/she will soon be pushing such nonsense aside especially if it's re-election time.;)

Is this the other side of the coin to the Islamic nutters dopey propaganda?
If this is the level of argument being bandied around I fear for us all, if we want to oppose these morons being lead by the traitor Choudry we have to stick to facts to win the argument...not fantasy.

While i cannot stand the nutjobs in any religion please lets not represent all believers as part of the lunatic side of it. Also belief in any of the religions is not a threat to our way of life unless we completely allow it government doesn't make a way of life the people of any given country do. I am all for standing up for what is right but i will not take part in any witchhunt against a single religion\race or culture because of a few idiots that may belong to one.

I'm afraid these are facts.

From the referenced article
Quote:

Officials are proposing to cut the lights grants to £5,000 next year and to stop them altogether by 2007. The report is due to go before councillors on Thursday.

“This is just another example of political correctness gone mad,” said Sue Allen, chairman of the local lights committee. “I was a bit surprised about the wording of the report. However, I can understand why the council is doing this and I believe there are more worthy causes in the district who deserve the money.

“It will just mean that we will have to work harder to raise funds for the Christmas lights in the future.”

Mark Bee, the council leader, yesterday insisted that the wording of the proposal had been drawn up by officials and said the change was being proposed solely on economic grounds.

“I consider the wording of the document unfortunate and I will be taking it up with the officer on Monday,” said Bee. “I do not see the reason for this as one of equality and diversity. It is one of economics.

As mentioned above, fantasy news can only cause so much outrage before it becomes self-defeating. Focussing on facts, rather than half-truths would be altogether more helpful.

Fact - something that happened.

Daily Mail/Telegraph reports - interpretation of something to provide worst possible case scenario.

Mail

it was revealed that Waveney Council in Suffolk could stop grants for Christmas lights in towns and villages because of fears they might offend non-Christians.
And, in fact, the Council (Tory) leader stated in the Times
Quote:

Mark Bee, the council leader, yesterday insisted that the wording of the proposal had been drawn up by officials and said the change was being proposed solely on economic grounds.
“I consider the wording of the document unfortunate and I will be taking it up with the officer on Monday,” said Bee. “I do not see the reason for this as one of equality and diversity. It is one of economics.
“I am a practising Christian and attend church and feel that religion of all forms is something that should be embraced."
btw, the Christmas lights appear still to be shining brightly there Waveney 2009 and again

Fair comment. I just hope as Gary L suggests this march will not go ahead and common sense will prevail.
