poliphiloFirst you set up a straw man, then you kick the stuffing out of it, all the while emitting shrill cries of outrage.
I thought this "War of Christmas" silliness was an American phenomenon, but here's the Bishop of Salford- a fat-faced, middle-aged chap called Terence Brain- shouting from the front of the Manchester Evening News that we need to rally to SAVE OUR CHRISTMAS.
Apparently there's a plan afoot to rename it "Winterval".
Really? First I'd heard of it.
Winterval- that's really snappy. That's really going to catch on.
Come off it, Brain, get real. If Christmas is endangered then Pandas are as plentiful as pigeons.
