Where will all this politicaly correct nonsense end? Yesterday I was in Leeds city center and I noticed they had put up the Christmas lights, ready for the November/ December shopping sprees. There were a few stars and Christmas tree shapes here and there, but then I walked into one of the main high streets and what I saw stunned me.
The "Christmas" lights were a footballer!? A cricket player!? A computer or something, not very christmassy you would agree. I walked on.
A recycling symbol!?!?! Two hands shaking! (and you can bet they're two different colours when lit up)
And then surrounding a sign that says something like "Leeds, a city of the future" was a church, a synagogue and.... wait for it... a Mosque!
We all heard about some city councils last year, trying to ban the lights all together as to not offend ethnic minorities. Yet they will still put up lights for Ramadan.
Is Christmas going to end up being abolished because it might offend some non Christians?
