More than two out of three companies have banned Christmas decorations from the office because of fears that they will offend people from different religious faiths, a new report claims.

Festive trinkets are considered un-PC
About 70 per cent of 2,000 bosses questioned said they would not allow Christmas trees or decorations to be displayed in offices over the festive season.

Peter Done, of Employment law firm Peninsula, said: "The workplace is now the latest in an increasing number of places affected by the wave of political correctness being imposed on festive traditions.

"To ease fears of offending other faiths and excluding minorities, firms are increasingly banning Christmas decorations and traditions from the workplace."

Britons will collectively spend £600 million on Christmas decorations this year

Theres a load of this stuff going on in America.

The people feeling most persecuted, are the religious people themselves. For instance

If for some reason Father Christmas is arrested then so be it.

The Red Cross has banned Christmas nativity decorations from its UK shops in case they offend customers of other faiths!
Muslim Labour Peer Lord Ahmed said it was "stupid" to think other faiths would be offended by Christian symbols.
See BBC NEWS TALKING POINT.
Suggest, we boycott all Red Cross establishments or protest loudly inside their shops. WHY SHOULD WE TAKE ALL THIS CR** LET US BE HEARD!

You're a bit late with that! I've been boycotting the Red Cross for a couple of years now, ever since they started with this stupid idea of theirs.

But yes. We should boycott stuff, as you say.

dave grylls · 09-12-2005, 12:02 AM

Yes I realize, initially it was a while ago,and I too have boycotted RED CROSS establishments. I have even been asked to leave shops because of my protests. In the light of "ban christmas" looming once again. I thought we should remind everyone. Time flies so, I beleive it actually reared its ugly head in 2004. Never the less it really p***** me off, big time. Sorry! can't sleep have got idigestion.

What tosh! When in Rome you should do as the Romans do. I am proud of my culture and traditions and will fight for them come what may! I would never dream of going to another country and demanding they remove symbols of the culture to appease me. Unfortunately the PC fascists have made many Britons afraid of their own national identity. It is all part of the plan to destroy us a nation.

Perhaps we should campaign to ban Ramadan! Just kidding.
