  • would it be too complicated to just ask 'what's your name?'. I guess they are not called PCs for nothing.

    People still use the term "Christian name"? Wow...
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    Aparently, because of a large number of Muslim people in Birmingham, the council were trying to get Christmas named as "Winter Festival" instead, until the Muslim leaders themselves said they really don't mind our country having xmas and it is well liked by many faiths, then the dumber than dumb and political correctness got dropped by the council - so in effect, it was up to the Muslim community as to whether christians in Birmingham could call it christmas or not ....


    What a stupid, stupid, stupid set of people are running this country, i say sack them all.
    Owed out = lots. :cool:

    My Sister once had a Union Jack towel hanging on her washing line and was ' asked ' to remove it as it was insulting certain people!!!!
    It was people of a different ethnicity.......

    The trouble is racists such as the BNP and English defence league seem to think that they can use a country's flags for their own racist agenda. And bizarrely and wrongly it gets into the minds of people that flying the flag has racist connotations even when it doesn't.

    How dare racist bigots b*stardise the use of my country's flag(s)!

    Maybe we should rename lent and Ramadan to "the fun month of starvation", easter can become "the chocolate egg festival" and Eid can be "the sheep eating party"

    I don know about the police trying to not offend people but all this PC madness offends ME!!!

    I'm confused now, which country do i live in?

    I am British, I follow no faith,
    But everyday i must not insult, upset any other religious faith/beliefs.
    By my own being i'm sure i am insulting someone somewhere,
