“We have been advised by Cabinet Office that we should not use the word Christmas – as the Government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religions don’t celebrate Christmas.”
Right. But there’s really only one religion that would be offended by the prospect of the majority culture celebrating or even noting its own traditions. The principle is always and everywhere the same: in Muslim countries, you must conform your behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, you must conform your behavior to Muslim sensibilities.
“Now Whitehall’s woke ‘blob’ tries to ban Christmas: Ministers are warned using the word in festive jab drive will offend minorities,” by Glen Owen, Mail On Sunday, November 28, 2021:
Civil servants have blocked the word ‘Christmas’ from efforts to avert a winter Covid crisis, as they fear it would offend minority religions.
The ban, detailed in emails leaked to The Mail on Sunday, was revealed as Boris Johnson announced tighter travel restrictions and new rules on masks in a bid to limit the spread of the new Omicron variant….
As part of the attempt to suppress a winter spike, Ministers drew up plans for the ‘Don’t take Covid home for Christmas’ advertising campaign targeting students, to run from December 3 to 17.
But it is being held up by the Cabinet Office on the grounds that it is not ‘inclusive’ enough.
The Government plans to use social media ‘influencers’ on sites such as TikTok, to urge the 1.2 million students who will be travelling home at the end of the term to take a Covid test before they do.
But in an email sent on Thursday, an official said: ‘We have been advised by Cabinet Office that we should not use the word Christmas – as the Government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religions don’t celebrate Christmas…
‘The other option was ‘festive season’ which keeps the emotional motivation. We have gone with ‘Don’t take Covid-19 home for the holidays’ – as it links to school and university Christmas holidays. The alliteration with ‘home’ and ‘holidays’ scans well and is memorable’.
Another official then objects: ‘We don’t refer to Christmas as the holidays (that’s an Americanism). Please can we say, ‘Don’t take Covid-19 home’.’…

It’s just insane . “We need to be inclusive…..” , but you aren’t because you are leaving out the word Christmas . Furthermore , you are an anti christian biggot who does not want a christian country to use a word which is clearly related to the birth of Christ our Saviour . I have an idea , let’s also not use the word “Ramadan” when the unholy month comes , “as the government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religion don’t celebrate” ramadan . If inclusiveness means censoring my belief for the sake of other religions who do not believe in the same God as the host country then I don’t want inclusiveness and I don’t want people in my christian country who get offended by my belief .
john Hollerbach says
The muslim festival of eid and ramadan deeply offends me, whenit is widely covered on British tv and other media each time it occurs, but Do Not mention Christmas or Easter celebrations else they may get offended and riot. God help us what are we allowing our UK to turn into.
Barry Morgan says
Exactly!! The British government is as weak as piss, just like other Western countries, including Australia, who bow to this evil cult!!!
Mount Zion says
One more thing .”Civil servants have blocked the word
Christmas……as they fear it could offend minority religions ”
Come on , Hinduism and Buddhism and Judaism and other minority religions don’t give a rats ass . It’s just one religion that takes offense , it’s that beautiful religion of peace , so what these over zealous civil servants are saying , is realy not to offend Islam .It’s funny because these civil servants haven’t served the civilians at all by wanting to block the word Christmas.

There. I feel better now.

Good for you.
There was a sit-com on several years ago…I can’t recall which one it was…but there were some people saying something…can’t recall what it was…but I recall that after several repeats, one girl/young woman said, “One more time.”
Christmas. Don’t profit from the celebrations if you don’t like the word, I say.
No shopping in stores owned or managed by mozlums; no riding in cabs driven by mozlums, …they shouldn’t make money off of people that they despise so much they can’t stand a certain word.
somehistory says
Americans are mostly different from other peoples…many of us don’t like to be told what to do or not do, or how to talk about things. Asked…maybe comply, but not ordered about.
Several years ago, the “happy holidays” replaced the “Merry Christmas” greeting….when a certain obnoxious group began to complain. Americans being willing to get along with different people, began using the “holidays” stuff when told that saying “merry Christmas” might offend some….usually *customers* in retail establishments.
Recently, biden said there would be no more he/she, male/female, man/woman…and pelosi said those words were not to be uttered …not in **her** House…
The “leaders” just keep giving in to those who wish to eliminate the Freedom to Speak.
Okay, let them “give in”….but leave the rest of us out of it….I’ll use the words I choose and if someone doesn’t like it, they don’t have to listen….or read…what I have to say or how I choose to say it.
mozlums and their constant complaining can go elsewhere….maybe “colonize” Mars…or the one farthest away from earth. After all, they are making every attempt at “colonizing” all of earth for their fake ‘prophet’….raper of children, mass-murderer, slime maggot, lying son of satan the devil….and wanting us to just go along with them.
One word: No.
Wellington says
How many Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists, et al. have been offended by being wished a “Merry Christmas?” Yeah a few here and there and respecting which losers no one has paid attention to.
This is occurring ONLY because of the one religion which functions en masse in perpetual outrage and victimhood, i.e., Mo’s decrepit creed.
Worst of all are people like BoJo submitting (fitting word, no?) to this garbage. Shame on such silly dhimmis forever. Yes, the fault lies first and foremost not with the crybabies who are Muslim but with the non-Muslims who obsequiously keep sucking up to Mohammedans.
Beyond pathetic. Actually quite destructive. No upside. Completely idiotic. Utterly cowardly.

UK government holds up ‘Don’t take Covid home for Christmas’ ads: Don’t mention Christmas to avoid offending Muslims
“We have been advised by Cabinet Office that we should not use the word Christmas – as the Government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religions don’t celebrate Christmas.”

Absolute insanity. So the UK is more concerned about not “offending” Muslims than about saving the lives of her people.
Oh…wait…we already knew that…

What is UK government up to? How can a civilized democracy UK carry the / propagate brutally beasts of Islam in encouraging the meaningless killings of innocent humans.?
born saturday says
appeasment tactics only ensure any jihadi he is on the right path as they consider it divine sanction they have and it justifies their jihad…
it is proven that appeasment boosts the jihad activities and the globalist leaders that follow this appeasment know it will only boost jihad activity but continue to implement this tactic…
the globalists have it planned to bring the new world order which will come to save us from the wars from jihad from poverty from violence that they have created in order to bring the new world order to stop it….globalisation they call it….
Alfredo says
So according to the “Dude” British citizens must avoid mentioning Christmas to prevent offending Muslims “sensibilities”.
So the message is loud and clear, when British citizens go to Muslim countries the must submit to Sharia, and when Muslims come to the UK, British citizens must submit as well.
Isn’t that the precisely the definition of dhimmihood? Second class status in Muslim countries and the same on the UK too? Since when Great Britain become a dhimmi nation?
The moment the British authorities were suckered into accepting Sharia courts in Great Britain. That is why Muslims express their utter contempt for the United Kingdom by calling it “Not so great Britain”.
OLD GUY says
All I want for Christmas is for all Islamic people to become Christians, that will bring peace on earth.

That would be nice but I bet you know better. Their Koran says it all and it ain’t good.
Richard McKenzie says
Who is that clown in the UK, Boring Boris Bozo the clown ?? Don’t offend Muslims? LOL, Muslims are an offense to all free thinking people’s of the world. Good grief the UK is lost and being defeated by its own government. However; I must admit America is making the same mistakes. I have said this for decades, Muslims are the number one enemy of America and the free world! Death to Islam and all ideologies that seek to enslave humanity.

For ALL Marxists of the Civil Service Christianity is incompatible with Marxism
For ALL Moslems of the Civil Service Christianity is incompatible with Islam
Islam and Marxism are the two tyrannies stoking the destruction of England
So Christmas is incompatible with nearly 100% of ALL the anti-English anti-Christian Civil Service
