Whose council has banned Christmas?

Ok, pet hate time. Who's council has done away with any mention of that terrible racial slur on our poor ethnic minorities(!) "Christmas"? Edinburgh apparently "sparkles" Dundee has a Winter Night Light Festival etc etc and so on. Where do the councils find these mindless wazzaks that are so scared of offending a few, then end up ****ing EVERYONE off? Christmas has been banned!

...what?

Hasn't this been done before? It's been spun as a racial thing by the media when the councils have their own reasons for introducing "winterval" or something..

Christmas lights were switched on at Oxford street recently. If there was any city for this to happen it'd be London. Its just councils being idiots if true.

I just wish my local council would ban Christmas for a month longer that way the ****ing decorations wouldn't be up in the High Street at the start of November.

"Edinburgh’s Christmas provides a magical setting for visitors and residents of the city."

Fuss. Over. Nothing.

Christmas is not even religious anymore anyway lol. Especially on the high street.

No Ethnics has ever complained about Councils running Christmas events however white Councillors have acted on behalf of the ethnic minorities because they know what's best for them.

Yes it has, Birmingham renamed christmas to "Winterval" whilst I was at University about 10 years ago.
