England: Toy pigs (trinkets, calenders, Piglet, etc.)must go at council. [Yup, that's why.]

Makes sense to me...to not offend Muslims at work by banning pig-related items.

After all, they also need a way to work at their jobs, and bring home the BACON.

OH POOH-PING! {N'yuk-n'yuk!}

P.C. by the C.O.D.-P.R.O.P.* in the U.K. run amok.

Notorious P.I.G.s banned from office to keep followers of paedophile false prophet comfortable...

while worthless women in burkhas prostrate themselves before oppressive black-hearted moon-god rock praying for mercy that will only come the day they renounce islam.

Did I stutter? I didn't mean to...

Did I fail to adequately insult the *Cult Of Death-Phony Religion Of Peace? I didn't mean to...nobody's perfect!

Capitulation is for {some} women without men, and men without big brass ones.

I want to know when the British women will start covering their bodies and faces in public, stop driving, and allow themselves to be beaten by their husbands at will.

Sensitive bast--ds, aren't they? And this is the same religion in whose name 180 children were shot, blown up, bayonetted, mutilated, and starved in Beslan a little over a year ago. Not to mention children in Israel, who are routinely targeted. It's ok to commit those atrocities, but the real crime is looking at a picture of pooh-bear, yes?

I wish someone would try that in my office. I'd plaster my walls with pigs, crosses, and Stars of David.

One doesn’t eat a “Piglet”, that little fellow is history’s favorite little porker and friend of Pooh.

If anyone suggested eating Piglet, many more people would be offended! (i.e., children and Winnie the Pooh fans, not Muslims)

These employees probably are not eating their beloved polyester stuffed toys or porcelain figurines, and in fact those toys probably never touched a real hog, so why is there any offense?

Maybe the Muslims will join the Vegans in demanding a prohibition on leather goods, since some are made from pigskin.

LOL! If there were a mosque in my town, I'd buy a pet pig just to take it for a walk out front!

Wow, a town without a mosque..now that's what I call homeland security..

"Through stories of Pooh and Piglet, the English speaking West passes on some of our values to the next generation. Pooh and Piglet are symbols on cribs and in nurseries."


When my son was born, a few months ago, my Mom sent us my copy of "Now we are Six", which I got for Christmas when I was two years old.

Someone needs to put a stop to this nonsense.

Absolutely! And congrats! They grow up so quickly, my son, now in his teens, and I enjoyed hours of Piglet and Pooh, among others.

A thought occurred to me this morning as I watched the business news. A few of the stories talked about 'cutting the pork' and 'pork bellies' futures. The next channel moved on to the 'pork' attached to certain bills recently put through Congress and the Senate, in terms of spending issues. Will we be forced to change the language we use when talking about the stock market or laws and bills passed in our own government? Will people then notice and put a stop to the ridiculous claims?

I just sent them an e-mail expressing my disgust with people who make an issue of every little thing that upsets them... Use the e-mail address above to condemn this stupid Politically Correct stance. - yoe

I suggest emailing the Dudley councillors directly, as they could reverse this decision if they get enough negative feedback. (Myself and several people at Free Britannia have emailed them some criticism too). The website for Dudley Council is: http://www.dudley.gov.uk/

Here are the email addresses of the councillors who have email accounts:

Full Name Angus Adams - eMail (Council) cllr.angus.adams@dudley.gov.uk

Full Name Shaukat Ali - eMail (Council) cllr.shaukat.ali@dudley.gov.uk

Full Name Doreen Ameson - eMail (Council) cllr.doreen.ameson@dudley.gov.uk

Full Name Mike Attwood - eMail (Council) cllr.mike.attwood@dudley.gov.uk

Full Name Colin Banks - eMail (Council) cllr.colin.banks@dudley.gov.uk

Full Name David Blood - eMail (Council) cllr.david.blood@dudley.gov.uk

Full Name Richard Body - eMail (Council) cllr.richard.body@dudley.gov.uk

Full Name James Boys - eMail (Council) cllr.james.boys@dudley.gov.uk

Happy liberal bashing!
