    Absolute rubbish.

    I'd tell the school to fork off.

    This is an absolute minefield. What about those hard-working families that can only afford a small party for a few close friends, and don't want to infringe the human rights of their own child to have a birthday party?

    Unless... are there government grants available for hard-working families to throw children's parties? What's the booze allowance, out of interest?

    I hope you posted that in various european and asian languages, or else you are guilty of withholding your satire from minorities, you fascist.

    School complains over brithday party invitations

    An eight-year-old boy has sparked an unlikely outcry in Sweden after failing to invite two of his classmates to his birthday party.

    The boy's school says he has violated the children's rights and has complained to the Swedish Parliament.
