UK Civil servants have actually axed the word ‘Christmas’ from a proposed federal government project, for worry the term will upset minorities.
British civil servants have obviously welcomed their inner Scrooge, vetoing the use of the word ‘Christmas’ from being used in a coronavirus testing drive targeted at trainees, arguing that using the term risks of upseting minorities within the nation.
The campaign, which reportedly would have revolved around ministers utilizing the slogan “Do not take COVID house for Christmas,” becomes part of a larger government effort to restrict the spread of the Chinese coronavirus after two cases of the Omicron variant were found on-shore.
‘We have been advised by Cabinet Workplace that we should not utilize the word Christmas– as the Federal government campaign needs to be inclusive and some religious beliefs don’t celebrate Christmas,” an e-mail seen by The Mail on Sundayread. “The other option was ‘festive season’ which keeps the emotional inspiration.”
“We have chosen ‘Do not take COVID-19 house for the holidays’– as it connects to school and university Christmas holidays,” the email continued. “The alliteration with ‘house’ and ‘holidays’ scans well and is remarkable.”
In spite of the politically correct alliteration, this tip was also shot down in a follow-up email sent by a various British bureaucrat.
“We don’t describe Christmas as the holidays (that’s an Americanism),” the e-mail read. “Please can we say, ‘Don’t take Covid-19 house’.”

Conservative MP Saqib Bhatti lambasted the decision to get rid of the reference of Christmas from the campaign.
“As a Muslim, I find it absurd we can’t enjoy this unique time of year. I anticipate showing my new boy his first Christmas tree. The idea you can’t discuss Christmas is entirely ludicrous,” Bhatti stated.
“It’s a time to celebrate, whatever your background. It belongs to the British culture I like. It’s the event of all cultures that makes this the most welcoming nation on the planet.
“I’m proud of that and proud to commemorate Christmas. The Blob requires to stop waging war on Christmas and get on with providing for the British people,” Bhatti concluded.
The British government is not unique in waging a woke war on Christmas traditions this year, with a short movie produced by the Norwegian postal service seeing Santa fall for another male.
The advert– which British left-wing newspaper The Guardian has called “heartwarming”– follows St Nick and his brand-new love interest, Harry, who at one point informs Santa: “All I desire for Christmas is you.”
The film ends with the pair passionately embracing with a kiss.
