In 2014 the card chain Clinton's had to withdraw a card, after someone complained (we live in that sort of world now)....
Council Estate Santa |
..... the card was entitled "10 Reasons Why Santa Claus Must Live In A Council Estate (housing scheme)".
The reasons given were:
- He has a serial record of breaking and entering properties.
- He uses various wild animals to pull his sleigh.
- He only works once a year.
- He has never been seen doing any work his whole life.
- He wears the same out of fashion clothes everyday and never washes them.
- He barely leaves home for fear of being recognised.
- He gets letters from lots of people, all demanding that he owes them things.
- He uses various names and aliases for his own gain.
- He drinks alcohol during working hours.
- He can get hold of all the designer gear but never pays a penny for it.

.... the complaints back then were led by Labour MP for Bristol East, Kerry McCarthy, who wrote "WOW this is so wrong." ..... Now if she had said so unfunny, I might have agreed, but woke had started even back then ....
Now 10 years later, we are bombarded by flag waving companies TV adverts, that celebrate every racial and sexual group in the country, all while apparently 'cancelling' the perceived cause of all the evil in the UK, the white heterosexual, working males, who have all but disappeared from the TV advert slots as a male role model.
