Citizen Watch Report ^

In an astonishing move, the Lincoln council has axed the UK’s oldest Christmas market, a local economic powerhouse at £15 million. Meanwhile, Lincoln’s Mayor conveniently enjoys the festivities in Germany, raising eyebrows.

The reason? A “safety risk” due to popularity. Really? Christmas markets thrive on being popular; that’s their essence. It sounds like a joke, but it’s local government decision-making.

This is probably the unspoken reason why they would cancel the Christmas Market.

Having a Christmas Market offends the sensibilities of the Muslim terrorists.

And the mere mention of Christmas offends liberalss just in general, because we are supposed to celebrate diversity, and celebrating diversity means you don’t mention Christmas specifically.

So add it all up and they just can’t have a Christmas celebration or a Christmas Market. Some sort of generic holiday celebration might be okay but not one specifically for Christmas.

Here’s a list of things and practices that have been branded as racist:
Calisthenics
Camping
Chicken and waffles
Classical music
The expression “cotton-picking”
Dr. Seuss
Hiking
Mathematics
Having Mike as a first name
Milk
Pantries that are neat and well-organized
Swimming

Now Christmas will be added to the list.
