Is the image of the UK going to be portrayed as a country that tries too hard to cover up things in our our culture/ herritage/ traditions so that our country does not offend others. The government is responsible, and they are offending me!
Why was it proposed that christmas lights should now be called festival lights? We should not turn our beliefs into taboos. Who are we offending?
I would like to know if people are truly offended by the traditions of Christmas (and anything else) ... as i would like to think it is all just media hype.
When people travel the world Eg: go to Thailand, Egypt, Japan, China they go there to see, experience and embrace their cultures including religious/local festivals, food, drink...also we learn what is socially unacceptable - how to behave without offending them by the way we dress and the body language we use.
I would be gutted if i went to Thailand and was not able to enjoy their culture.
