RACE WAR POLITICS

Lambeth council, a longstanding component of the loony left, has banned the term ‘Christmas Lights’. They are now to be known as ‘Winter Lights’.

This edict was issued by council officials who claimed that it was a move to avoid offending non-Christians.

The move has been condemned even by the Labour Lambeth MP Kate Hoey, who described it as ‘absolutely stupid’.

Ataur Rahman, administrator at the South London Islamic Centre said:

‘Christmas Lights do not offend us in the slightest. Every faith has its celebrations and we respect them.’

However, Lambeth council is pressing ahead regardless and publicising the switching on of the lights by describing them as either Winter Lights or Celebrity Lights.

The Lambeth council is currently controlled by a Tory/Lib Dem coalition. A statement from the council said:

‘The term Winter Lights simply reflects the fact that a number of religious festivals take place over the winter period when the lights are switched on.’

A spokesman further stated that there would be a carol service and a Christmas tree in the town hall.

This demonstrates cross party adherence to political correctness and that the Tories and Lib Dems can be just as loony as the looniest Labour lefty.
