Ban Milton

Weston-super-Mare is like Saudi Arabia

Story One: A primary school in Weston-super-Mare has been criticised for banning Valentine cards to save pupils the "emotional trauma" of being rejected. Children at Ashcombe Primary School were stopped from exchanging cards because the head teacher said they were not emotionally mature enough to cope...

Story Two: A Saudi official says policemen are inspecting shops for red roses, heart-shaped products or gifts wrapped in red, and ordering storeowners to get rid of them... Saudi Arabia bans celebration of Western holidays such as Valentine's Day, named after a Christian saint said to have been martyred by the Romans in the 3rd Century.

Maybe I should invite Johann Hari or Yasmin Alibi-Brown to explain how brilliant it is that they are putting up a fight against Western consumerism and over-sexualisation of children, oppression of women etc?

Twat of the day

So many opportunistic twats ... so little time ... from today's London Lite "Inter Milan faces legal action over a 'Crusader-style' red cross kit amid claims it offends Muslims. Turkish lawyer Baris Kaska said he filed a complaint with UEFA and was seeking damages and to overturn Fenerbache's 3-0 defeat by Inter Milan last month at the San Siro stadium".

I am not in the slightest nationalist and only mildly patriotic, but to me that looks like the English flag .... as I have said before, Turkey is welcome to take our place in the EU ...
