Worth a read - an opinion piece:
'F' word in Fairtytale of New York
"The Christmas party pooper has, over the centuries, taken different guises.
"The classic Dickensian scrooge wore an imposing hat and a grimace and said "bah humbug".
"The grinch is a disgruntled green creature written by Dr Seuss who steals Christmas.
"But the modern day scourge of Christmas has no candle, imposing hat or green fur.
"Instead, they have a well-hammered keyboard in front of them, wear the most po of all po-faces and say:
'Stop playing the Fairytale of New York because it offends me and my LGBTQI+ and non-binary friends'."
