BBC NEWS – Church wants end to Santa stamps
They’re at it again. Because 71% of the population on the 2001 census said they were Christian, they’re saying that can do anything.
Now, this is a fair country. A noticeable percentage of the population also said they were Jedi but I don’t see them launching protests as Darth Maul hasn’t been on a 20p stamp. A large number won’t have put their religion on because their beliefs state that they’re female and therefore have no rights, so their husbands will have filled them in. But that’s OK. Let’s let the C of E make them feel even more oppressed. That’s what religion’s for, after all.
I suppose a sensible solution (other than the Post Office saying “**** off, it’s none of your business”) would be for the stamps to no longer be referred to as “Christmas ™”, but “Winter”. Problem solved.
The christ-monkeys are already shafting my weekends with their stupid “keep Sunday special” campaign, which means I only have a handful of shopping hours. I’m damned if I’ll let the halo-wearing fascists start dictating what the post office can or can’t do.
Funnily enough, I seem to recall news stories not that long ago about another bunch of religious nuts who decided they could tell a whole country how to live it’s life. What were they called…? Oh, yes. The Taliban. Look what happened to them.
