I work for the Corporation of London and every December we have a christmas lunch in the Guildhall with the Lord Mayor, its all good fun.
This year they have decided that they are going to call it STAFF LUNCH instead of CHRISTMAS LUNCH because they feel that it is less offensive to other cultures. They used to have a Christmas hat competition (sad I know) but feel that this to is offensive. Well I would just like to say thank you to the powers that be for killing of my culture and making me a second rate citizan in the place of my birth.

What a complete joke!! I'd like to see the PC bunch on here defend this!

Ring up the Evening Standard or any of the other local papers as it's a great story that will show up how political correctness is ruining this country.

I do love that anyone who defends anything on here suddenly becomes a member of the PC brigade. Countless times this has come up on here, and not once has it been defended - there is no PC brigade outside of Senior Administration!

Indeed legal - maybe they'll get it this time!

Nope, I am not using religon for evil use I am defending my rights as a practising Christian.

I don't have a problem with that, certainly in October & November anyway. When I was younger I worked in C&A Nottingham as a Christmas temp, and by the end of my 3 month contract I was ready to strangle anyone who even thought about humming "Merry Xmas everybody"

That's just the ramblings of a madman

These ethnic minorities really piss me off. Certain elements come and live over here, preach evil hatred against us but don't mind having time off at Christmas. We tolerate their fasting thing so why can't they tolerate our festival. Admittedly there are a lot of British people who probably don't celebrate Christmas the way they should (myself included) by attending church but its a question of choice. All the political correctness bulls*** really pisses me off, British people in the uk are the MAJORITY therefore these other religions should respect ours and not expect us to adapt to their culture. The only race I can tolerate here is Hindu's, lovely peaceful people who do show genuine respect. Its Bin Laden's lot I have a beef with. Rant over.

The people who we are meant to be offending by having and celebrating christmas are usually perfectly happy with us doing so. It's usually over-sensitive outsiders who cause this tension by meddling with what we believe in.

It was my dream to play for Palace and to make my debut. I've always played for the club so if I'm playing here, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I started this thread as a rant against the authorities not Ethnic minorities. All religions have their share of religious extremist. The Klu Klux Kan claim to be Christians. These extremist make decent poeple angry no matter what their belief or religion. I just don't want anybody misunderstanding my agrument.
