I remember when we used to be known as 'GREAT Britain' rather than 'Cool Britannia'. Every day in the papers there is an article about someone being told not to do something, and they stop doing it, however ridiculous it may seem.
Example 1: Businesses are told not to put up decorations in case they offend non-Christians.
Common sense view: Let each religion celebrate however it wishes, as long as no one is physically injured. Otherwise, if Christmas is to be cancelled, can M&S be sued because it is closed on Christmas Day when some people may want to go shopping??
Example 2: Man is fined for putting paper in with his bottle recycling.
Common sense view: What difference does this make? Do they not realise that most bottles have labels on them? So, are we now meant to remove the labels when we recycle our bottles?
