Christmas to be downgraded by New Labour

Christmas should be downgraded in favour of festivals from other religions to improve race relations, says an explosive report.

Labour's favourite think-tank says that because it would be hard to "expunge" Christmas from the national calendar, 'even-handedness' means public organisations must start giving other religions equal footing.

And it says immigrants should be required to acquire some proficiency in English and other aspects of British culture "if - but only if - the settled population is willing to open up national institutions and practices to newcomers and give a more inclusive cast to national narratives and symbols".


How's that?

This government has to go asap.

Note that the report actually says that other religious festivals should be upgraded in the sense of being given "equal footing". This, in the topsy-turvy world of the Daily Mail, translates into "Christmas should be downgraded."

My previous post loses none of its validity either way.

Do Daily Mail readers not know where Christianity came from in the first place?

"Ooh we don't want all those dirty Arabs foisting their new religions on us over here do we Marjorie eh? I see there's one of them 'poofs' moved in down the road"
