LeazesMag 0 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Story I've been told tonight. Apparently, a major firm [who shall be nameless for obvious reasons] told an employee who turned up for work with a poppy to remove it because it offended the majority immigrant/muslim workforce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 14242 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 This isn't vague enough for me. Could you add some hyperbole and dissimulation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christ O'Pher 0 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Agreed. Far too specific. Maybe you could remove 'major firm' and use instead the term 'organisation of unspecified size'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The Early Learning Centre have been taking the pigs out of their farmyard toys to avoid offending the Jews and Muslims though Leazes.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11765420 This is exactly why we need to torture some sense into them. Plastic moulded pigs are a British birthright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic moulded pigs are a British birthright. The farmyard set also includes a barn, tractor and trailer - which all belong to Farmer Shepherd and his wife, Mrs Shepherd. The Amish are fucking livid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeazesMag 0 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 I take it by these responses that certain people who have posted here agree that being told to remove a poppy - and what it signifies - is all good and proper in this "multicultural Britain" ....

Guest alex Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Supposing it's true, it's wrong. Personally though, I find politicians wearing poppies to Remembrance Day services whilst sending troops to fight in frankly ridiculous foreign conflicts, all the while subsidising the UK arms industry whilst cutting public services to be more offensive.

TheMoog 0 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) I often wonder why there's always people willing to make a nothing out of truly offensive stuff like burning poppies, etc but if someone upsets an extremist they feel the need to bow down to how bad this county is. Personally my stance is if people don't like this county they should fuck off elsewhere more to their liking.

Who's actually saying burning poppies is ok whilst at the same time arguing Muslim extremists shouldn't be allowed to be upset like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally my stance is if people don't like this county they should fuck off elsewhere more to their liking. exactly. I find bowing to these cretins who want to ban the poppy is truly offensive and insulting to every single person and the families of everyone who gave their lives in 2 world wars. The whole lot of them are showing their true colours and ought to fuck off. If anything brings to the forefront the folly of this "multiculturism" idealistic crap, its this and the heckling of our troops on British soil by the same shower of wankers, who are allowed to get away with it with the blessing of the namby pamby mob. Quite unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) BTW, the pig thing is shocking. I have that set for my bairn. Wonder if I can go and demand my pig? You can request your pig. It says so at the end of the story. It's not the least bit shocking though. A privately owned company made the cost cutting decision to remove a character in a toy rather than having to construct different sets for different territories. If Brits complained about a Korean kitchen set that was being sold here with dogs you could put in the oven, that Korean company might take similar action to protect it's international image. There's no political agenda to it whatsoever. Just a cultural obstacle the company have to tackle in pursuit of profit.
