Thread Name: Padstow Darkie Days
Subject: RE: Padstow Darkie Days
Is this the sharp edge of Political Correctness being wielded again?

I thought Maggie Thatcher (sorry Lady Thatcher) put an end to this when she managed to get closed-shop trade unions banned. Or did she just start the rot?

Seems to me this could be a much more serious attack on the sovereignty of the British way of life being waged from within, rather than anything Europe can throw at Britain.

We may need to take the defence of British traditions to the highest court.
Perhaps there are some sensible supporters of ancient traditions in the CPS after all.

Do the police have nothing better to do in Padstow at Christmas time? It must be very crime-free down in Cornwall. No drunken drivers, Christmas tree thieves and the like.

Lets hope that this is an April fool joke that came out early.
Or will April fooling be consigned to the scrap heap of history too?
