"PC PLANS TO 'DOWNGRADE' CHRISTMAS"

An article in the Daily Express of 1st November 2007 reports that Christmas celebrations are an obstacle to better community relations in multi-cultural Britain, according to a Labour Party think tank.

A report from the Institute for Public Policy Research - which has close ties with Downing Street - says the festive season should be put on an equal footing with the festivals of other religions, including Diwali and Eid.

And it also calls for Christian elements to be stripped from the Monarchy, Parliament and the honours system to “foster a sense of shared values.”
