    If, as your administrator says beneath my name tag I am "Not worth listening to" Then I feel in good company. Because Enoch Powell predicted this bloody hell and nobody listened to him!

    Here's a link to an article but as it's in the Guardian it could be PC lies:

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/christmas2...967367,00.html

    Here's a little extract about the Birmingham winterval story from 10 years ago:


    'Perhaps the most notorious of the anti-Christmas rebrandings is Winterval, in Birmingham, and when you telephone the Birmingham city council press office to ask about it, you are met first of all with a silence that might seasonably be described as frosty. "We get this every year," a press officer sighs, eventually. "It just depends how many rogue journalists you get in any given year. We tell them it's bollocks, but it doesn't seem to make much difference."

    According to an official statement from the council, Winterval - which ran in 1997 and 1998, and never since - was a promotional campaign to drive business into Birmingham's newly regenerated town centre. It began in early November and finished in January. During the part of that period traditionally celebrated as Christmas, "there was a banner saying Merry Christmas across the front of the council house, Christmas lights, Christmas trees in the main civil squares, regular carol-singing sessions by school choirs, and the Lord Mayor sent a Christmas card with a traditional Christmas scene wishing everyone a Merry Christmas".

    None of that, though, was enough to prevent a protest movement at the time, whose members included the then Bishop of Birmingham, Mark Santer, as well as two members of UB40. Sensing a never-to-be-repeated public-relations opportunity, tourism staff at Solihull council invited Birmingham residents in search of a traditional Christmas to travel there instead. And the leader of the anti-Winterval campaign, Ken White, fulfilled a key requirement of all such disputes: the people of Birmingham, he declared, were the victims of "political correctness gone mad".'

I don't doubt there may be one or two cases, but there have been several high profile stories in the press over the years (Luton Council is one of the perennial favourites) that have been utter nonsense. There's a pervasiveness to it as well. I was chatting to someone last December who was complaining how Birmingham City Council had 'banned Christmas' last year. There was a bloody huge Christmas tree, signs saying 'Merry Christmas' and a German Christmas market with Christmas Carols but he wasn't having it.
    There were a number oop norf last year, it will be the devils own job to find links now.

    Good job we've got all these keen young East Europeans to do the jobs that no-one else wants.

    Oh dear. Daily Mail immigration / EU panic.

    Don't worry, chaps. Turkey will get admitted to the EU, and the demographic imbalance will even itself out.
