'tis the season of Official Stupidity

For me Christmas doesn't start until the first of December, so all the decorations in shops and Christmas tunes annoy me and I try to ignore them, until then. However, here I am responding to this year's first signs of Official Stupidity. Naturally it is the usual inability of the people who foist the ridiculous idea of multiculturalism on us, to understand it. Yes our British councils here in officially Christian Britain can't seem to get a grip on Christmas.

Good grief, how easy does it have to be. I know that for some time now it has been the vogue to have not just Left leaning people, but idiots of any and every political persuasion in government local and national. So I suppose we really shouldn't be surprised that the simplest of things pass them by. So, for all those in authority making decisions with too much thinking and too little comprehension here is a simple way to understand Christmas; the UK is a Christian country and Christmas is an important and traditional festival for us. It is entirely acceptable for our nation to hold its Christian celebrations openly and with good heart. I would happily send Seasons Greetings to a Muslim or a Jew and expect them to realise a) that it reflects the beliefs and traditions of a Christian in a Christian country and b) that the message is one of joy and happiness. It is not a death threat. Our Christmas card lists are not for people we hate. So, NO ONE WILL TAKE OFFENCE!! In fact this thinking about something and coming to a conclusion without actually knowing the subject in any depth, doing no real research is almost de rigueur these days. From oil slicks to Global Warming people take a view and are immovable from that view, even though they have taken no time to understand what they have heard from an expert (often actually an activist). So councillors up and down the land line up to say that Muslims (etc) will be offended by our displays at Christmas, without actually asking them.

It strikes me that it is entirely possible to believe (unless you are a racist, as most Left-liberals are, otherwise why keep highlighting 'difference'?) that Muslims (etc) are perfectly able to understand that by living in a country with an established, enshrined national faith, they might see displays of that faith. They might you see, understand and not take offence. It has long been common for British people to delight, on going abroad, in the faiths and customs they find in other countries, without demanding, on arrival that all such things are covered up, least we be offended. It is true however, that when vegetarianism became a fashion, a clamour went up to ban meat eating. The old, what I do is right and anyone different is wrong and what I disagree with should be banned. The position of the Left in a nutshell. The problem is though, that nowadays it doesn't seem to be seen in this context. Now you see people who would otherwise understand the real world and not dream of desiring the destruction of their own culture by supporting the Left, spouting such nonsense.

I wonder that these incapable people who seek office have not yet alighted on the fact that it is cold in winter here. Surely Muslims (etc) from possibly much warmer climes should receive some apology, maybe we should be warming the climate for them. Also, it must be unfair that whilst people who already live in the UK can visit their families at little cost, should we not be paying air fares to Pakistan for people who have voluntarily sought to better their lives by coming here? We should remember that this desire to cause division and highlight difference is a creed of the Left and it is the most base racism in this country. Sure some white people do not like 'people of colour' until they 'get to know them', and then discover 'they are alright really', but that is mainly a fear of the unknown and a different skin colour easily marks someone out. The racism of the Left is ideological and very much more dangerous.
