Guy Fawkes Axed!!
This is surely taking the pss? For those who don't know about the gunpowder plot, check out these pages. Are we going to ban Christmas celebrations next? This is really going too far in the name of community relations and it would never happen in other countries.
'Officials in Tower Hamlets, East London, say the story of the Gunpowder Plot is
now too old so there will be no bonfire and no Guy.
Instead officials have spent £75,000 on a celebration in Victoria Park that will
centre on a Bengali folk tale called the Emperor and the Tiger.
A mock Bengal Tiger will pace a giant catwalk surrounded by Bangla drummers and
dancers. The area has a large Asian population.
John Midgley,spokesman for the Campaign Against Political Correctness, said: "There's
a time and a place for everything and November 5 is for Bonfire Night.
"It's time to tell bureaucrats that actions like these undermine our historic occasions
and harm community relations."'
