The crazy world we live in....
The crazy people are out in force, again, i see...
The city of Oxford will have something missing from it's Chrimbo lights display this year.. any mention of Christmas. They will have mobile lanterns in the shape of the solar system, and these will be in place for 2 months. It will be called the WinterLight Festival - so it can celebrate Christmas, Hanuka, Diwali & the INternational Year of Astronomy!!
OAP's have been branded antisocial for sitting on benches outside their sheltered accomodation homes. 7 elderly friends meet up once a day for a cup of tea, and to discuss families and events etc... now the Broomleigh Housing Association is threatening to remove the benches as there have been complaints about anti social behaviour.... grannies on the rampage??
I couldnt help but laugh when I was told this today. People selling poppies door-to-door on behalf of the Royal British Legion, have apparently been told to assess whoever answers the door.. to see if they will be able to issue them a pin to hold their poppy on with. If they feel the person is incapable of dealing with this small lethal weapon, they are given a sticker with a poppy on instead. Unbelivable! It's patronising
This country is getting more and more pathetic as each day passes! Kids who are no longer allowed to play with skipping ropes or conkers in the playgrounds, and people being fined when a toddler drops a crisp on the floor...it's madness

Was reading today that a Muslim chef is suing the Police.
He was hired as a Chef. Asked to cook some sausages & Bacon but refused as it was against his religion. The Police have moved him to another Kitchen that would suit his beliefs. ie, where he wouldn't have to cook meat.
This has outraged him. He now plans to sue.

, apart from the sue culture that has taken over this country, throw in a bit of racist and religious overtones into the mix, add a dash of Political correctness and a sprinkle of H&S and it is all FUBAR beyond belief

LIke the Tescos bloke.... errr sorry, you are applying for a job at one of the major supermarkets, who sell alcohol... shouldnt you have that about the fact you have religious restrictions prior to applying???
Is it going to come to the point where employers are going to have to ask each and every person what they can touch and what they can't??, or what religion they are so that they can check their suitability for the role from that perspective? It's down to the person to apply for roles which they feel they can undertake...... I'm not being racist, but too many people are doing this ,citing religious reasons, then a few months down the line suing their employers. It has to be stopped. Now.
The employers should turn around and sue them for wasting not only their time, but also money spent on uniforms, training etc

Its difficult to believe the next piece of nonsense they are going to think up Little Ginge. This is all part of the NL multicural society requirements since they are doing their best to destroy GB as we know it. They cannot stand the thought of our country remaining as we used to know it.
The lefty pinko PC pratts are doing their best to take over and it will do the rest of us no good at all.
