No Christmas lights in loony Lambeth 2nd November 2005
It is fully expected that Labour run councils would force politically correct agendas on their long suffering council taxpayers but one local authority jointly run by the Tories and Lib Dems is abolishing Christmas this year.
According to today's Times newspaper the south London borough of Lambeth, home to a mixed community of recent immigrants is banning use of the word "Christmas" in its street lighting displays in all but one district, and uses "Winter Lights" and "Celebrity Lights" (!) as subsbreastutes in a bid to avoid offending non-Christians in the immigrant community. Although the council is planning its usual Christmas carol service and erecting the traditional Yule tree a council spokesman said: "The term winter lights simply reflects the fact that a number of religious festivals take place over the winter period when the lights are switched on."
Hindu supporter not offended
The BNP asked a Norwood resident who has helped the BNP in recent election campaigns for his opinion. Jagdish is a young Hindu whose father was a first generation immigrant from the Punjab area of India who arrived in the capital in the 60s. He told a website reporter that neither himself nor any of his family and Hindu friends were upset or offended in the slightest by the word "Christmas". "We are an easy going people and recognise the importance of Christmas to the people of Britain who are mostly Christians, even if they do not go to church as regularly as in the past." He added that ".the council must be doing this for the other lot, the Muslims, as the council haven't asked for our (Hindu community) views about Christmas decorations."
It just goes to show that there is no difference between the three Old Gang parties. Only the British National Party offers any hope for the sane, hard working taxpayers of the country and is unafraid of telling the truth. We will undo all the politically correct meddling in municipal affairs when we gain control of town halls across the country, restoring traditional British customs, Christian and secular alike back into the heart of public life, delivering a welcome relief for beleaguered British communities.
Ed. That's right even if you are non-religious, you don't need to be a nark at Christmas time, just sit down and shut up and let the majority have a bit of fun for a change...
