Merry WinterLight-Festival! No Limits on PC madness?

[Tribesman]

. I would also question the veracity of the source considering that the Mail frequently runs similar stories which turn out to be at best stretching the truth and at worst actual misinformation.

You mean like the big outrage they caused with comments made by two entertainers on radio which attracted two complaints to the BBC...that suddenly after a week of OMG articles in the mail containing stuff that hadn't actually been broadcast became a flood of 25,000+ miserable old gits complaining about something they hadn't even heard ?

So in this Christmas that ain't Christmas case perhaps we should see what the council has to say instead of what the mail says

Oh looky a link . so the winterlights festival is the festival where they turn on the lights on November 28th with bands , fireworks , speeches , a childrens parade and street entertainment .
Shocking isn't it

I guess city hall didn't expect this much commotion, better luck next year.

A good rule of thumb with the daily mail, if its pretty sensational.... its lies, if its on thier front page..... its lies, if its a big story that everyone else is covering then...... its at least half lies, if immigrants or pc are mentioned then they are usually making rubbish up..... think of the mail as an unfunny version of the onion...

Don't worry Andres , as Banquo noted earlier in the topic we get theis subject every year .
It follows a well established pattern , it starts with a story , then comes loads of rants , then it comes that the story isn't really a story its more of pile of bollox , then the topic dies till next year .
Though at least this year we have had the oppertunity to laugh at Fragonys PC communist propoganda theories .With this line....

the less it corresponded to reality the better

...he sums up the nature of the content of much that he writes .

Bugger, I feel used...

It was all getting so juicy too, what with Frag and his commies...

It's the same discussion every year because it's held every year, they should just stop trying. Same here with our Sinterklaas and his black Piets, each year the same douchebags want to change the colors of the piets because it would be racist. If people don't want that discussion just quit and accept the reality that it's perfectly harmless.

Daily Mail runs it's annual christianity under threat from PC thugs drivel and the usual suspects fall for it

Let me remind the Org that the Daily Mail did come out in support of Hitler, Franco and Mussolini at various stages. As well as being against the immigration of Jews from Europe in the 1930s. Nice eh?

The daily mail is so convulted, sensationalist and racist, usually when they run a story it is best to assume it is all complete rubbish, occasionly you will be wrong, they have been known to correctly report football scores...
