Santa banned from Bullring

Apparently he may be deemed offensive to other religions.

I'm waiting to see how long it is before Diwali, or any other religious
celebrations, are be banned there.

 

This is Birmingham you're talking about.

 

Just so long as the fuckers leave Father Christmas alone.

 

dyslexic satanists.

 

What, religions other than the ones that worship Santa?

AndrewR says...

According to the local council, who instigated the ban, Santa is seen as
a religious figure as he represents Christmas, a christian festival.

I think we should ban having cows in the Bullring, because the Seikhs
worship them.

He was a nasty bastard, by all accounts.

BTW, I fail to see how Santa can be construed as religious [1], after
all he was invented by Coca Cola [2]

[1] Fucking blatant comercialism more like.

someone had to do it, and I'm *very* bored today.

 

So we're trying to keep it a secret from the heathens that Christians have
religious festivals and when they are, or what?

I say we have a worldwide contest to find the most devout person of each
religion.

When we've got them we tell them that the first one back with a report on
what is truly on the other side wins and then we shoot them.

If none of the first lot come back we'll go back to step 1.

I find Santa quite offensive, and fully support this ban.

 

Er Sikhs don't worship bulls

Ramadan is fucking rubbish. Still, only a week to go.

Went out for a nice Iftar meal on a supplier last night, though, so
it's not all bad.

LIGAF, It's all religion to me. Hindus then, or something.

Bollox. Okay, I'm wrong. If it's on the titternet, then it must be
