I swear this is not a satire. I was actually going to write a satirical piece along these lines, but not surprisingly fact turned out to be stranger than fiction.
The reductio ad absurdum argument does not work on left wing liberal progressives. Ask: "Restrict junk food ads on TV for the children? What are you going to do next, ban Santa for being too fat?" Answer: Yes.

These fascist leaf eaters should be told to go back into the forest and bathe in a bog.
Soon we’ll be changing psychological archetypes so they fit the eugenic dreams of pale yoga snots.

Yeah, well the British Gubmint and NHS are paying for the diabetic testing equipment that costs them billions...they seem to think that it is within their rights to thus intervene and reduce taxpayer costs.

Mere triviality. Posession is 9/10ths of the law...and the Gubmint is posessed...with the citizens money.

All I’m saying is that NHS did not implement this, the center itself did. I think it’s pretty comical, but defend their right to do it.
If NHS was doing it I would fully agree with you.

OK, I agree. It's private property, fine with me if the owners of the mall want all their Santa's to look like this, but you know where this is heading and where they got the idea...
