Government think tank in plot to kill Santa

....and they would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that pesky health and safety act of 1974.

Think-tank says 'downgrade Christmas' - Yahoo! News UK



Christmas should be downgraded unless other religious festivals are marked on an even footing, a Government think-tank has said.
The Institute of Public Policy Research has suggested various ideas to make the UK more multicultural.
It also wants "national culture" barriers to be torn down to help immigrants settle into the UK.
In a report due to be published in coming weeks, the organisation said: "If we are going to continue to mark Christmas - and it would be very hard to expunge it from our national life even if we wanted to - then public organisations should mark other major religious festivals too.
"Even-handedness dictates that we provide public recognition to minority cultures and traditions."
It emerged in 2006 that three out of four employers were not putting up Christmas decorations in the workplace for fear of offending staff of other cultures

The local primary school had a couple of 'Spooky Night' disco's last night for the kids which went down pretty well as far as I'm aware and everybody enjoyed them.

It was the usual disco, juice, crisps blah blah blah and Fancy Dress - witches, mummies, zombies and loads of vampires.

I asked te stupid question as to why it was called 'Spooky Night' rather than 'Halloween' Disco's and they said they didn't want to call it Halloween incase it upset the kids !!!!!
