So, just how stark raving mad have these folks become?  See for yourself.

Have to thank Thorolf for reminding me about this.
I found it early this morning, got busy and then forgot all about it. Till a few minutes ago.

School cancels Christmas nativity in favour of Muslim Eid celebrations
A junior school has cancelled its Christmas performances because they got in the way of the Muslim children celebrating Eid.

Greenwood Junior School sent out a letter to parents saying the three day festival of Eid al-Adha, which takes place between 8-11 December, meant that Muslim children would be off school.

That meant planning for a traditional pantomime were shelved because the school felt it would be too difficult to run both celebrations side by side.

The move has left parents furious.

Janette Lynch, whose seven-year-old son Keanu attends the school, in Sneinton, Nottingham, said: “The head has a whole year to plan for Eid and so she should be able to plan for both religious festivals.

“I have never heard of this at a school. It is the first year my son has been there and a lot of the mums like me were really looking forward to seeing the children on stage.”

She said a letter, sent from “The staff at Greenwood Junior School’, said: “It is with much regret that we have had to cancel this year’s Christmas performances. This is due to the Eid celebrations that take place next week and its effect on our performers.”

Following outrage from parents, the school was forced to send out a second letter saying that the Christmas play would be done in January.

Sent by the head teacher, Amber Latif, and Yvonne Wright, chair of governors, it apologised for “any misunderstanding” but said it had to respect “the cultures and religions of all the children”.

It added: “The Christmas performance has not been cancelled outright but has been postponed until the New Year.”

Parents said they were originally told the performance was cancelled because children wanted to celebrate Eid with their families at home, and planning of the school year made it difficult to move performance dates to another week.

Sajad Hussain, 35, of who has two children at Greenwood Junior, said: “My children will be off for the two days next week to see their family.

“It’s not that complicated; they could have one event on one day and another on another day, they should have both celebrations at the school.

“If you do not have both it becomes a racist thing and that’s why you have to be careful If an issue is made out of it, it could become nasty.”

Yesterday, a statement issued by Greenwood Junior, said: “We would like to apologise for any confusion caused as a result of [the original] letter we sent out and would like to reassure parents and the community that Christmas has not been cancelled at Greenwood Junior School.

“For very practical reasons we have taken the difficult decision to re-arrange some significant events on the school calendar to ensure maximum pupil and staff attendance.”

FRAKEN MUZZIES

“Difficult Decision” my achin’ butt.  Nothing at all difficult about putting on a Christmas play in Jan and offending the “other” majority religion.  That’s because Christians are easy targets nowadays and there isn’t any protest with violent threats coming from the “majority” community.  What a load of garbage this is.
RCOB!  And I’m not even a religious person, but this bothers me.  This IS a Christian country. Wait, maybe I have that wrong.  It WAS a Christian country.  Long ago and far away.  That was a song title, or else a line in a song and it dates back to the second war.  I think.

Speaking of war, if the Tommy Atkins who fought for this island in two wars could have seen this future,
THEY’D HAVE STAYED HOME OR JOINED THE OTHER SIDE!
I simply refuse to believe that those old dogs of war would fight and die and be maimed for life, for this future.  NO WAY! No damn way!

I have been here more then four years now watching these folks give away their country and it’s damn awful.  What it is, is heartbreaking!
I swear I think everything is falling apart here.  Even on simple little things that you wouldn’t think mattered.  From workmen who never show up and people who never call to let you know about schedule changes, to ordering items in a catalog and getting the wrong items not once, not 2wice, but three times for the same damn thing.  There’s a rot that has set in and I’m certain of it.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
