Mind you, it was still a month before Christmas itself, so like he said there was plenty of time for improvement. At least he's not stupid enough to say that the words 'Christ' or 'Christmas' were been banned. Because they weren't, as I've already shown. So that article doesn't really move us any further forward, does it?

It's been maintained that its just one of those myths that keeps going round.

Seems to me bally1950 that you're annoyed that people would request that flags are taken down because they're offended by them, but in reality no one was actually offended by them.What we do know though is that you yourself want to take down flags on mosques as you're offended by them.So in the end, the only thing you're aggrieved by is people who have the attitude of....you. Strange world isn't it.
I'm afraid that's not true either Dagenham Rover. If you're talking about Bradford Council, then staff were told not to stick Christmas Decorations on the walls, as it causes damage. They were still free to display them on their desk or however else they liked, as long as it caused no damage that would require repairing.
I am a Roman Catholic and seeing a flag on a Mosque which is the religious place of worship of Islam - Islamic State murderers and torturers - yes that does offend me...
I have never objected to any flag

Just being technical like.
