I see your point but let us keep it clean.. yes given its a tradition celebrated around the world. and I understand the anger towards all this. But still in a calm way, I really don't think we should stop using words or change them for others.I hope next year as a result of the change EVERYBODY in the UK REFUSES TO BUY CADBURY CHOCOLATE EGGS. I am sure other companies wouldn't follow suit by removing the word Easter from their products and I hope they refuse to do so;and if ethnic minorities are offended by the word Easter and any other British religeous festivals then so what? I would say to them "It's NOT your country to dictate the UK's traditions celebrations and festivals for your own controlling agendas and ways".
This here wins!!! hands down wins the internet. I agree no reason why we all cannot just accept everything instead of spoiling the fun.It can't all go 1 way can it though, there's nothing to stop us saying we're offended by Diwali or another similar festival (i can't think of any others off the top of my head) but i bet f we did there would be an outcry. There's no reason why we can't celebrate all religious festivals in this country, and people pick and choose individually which ones they'll celebrate, which is how i think it should be![]()
I apologize Gaz and I am sorry, but this ridiculous notion of banning seemingly innocent and fun things we Brits enjoy and celebrate every year for "fear of offending other ethnic minorities and/or religeons" is literally verging on the ridiculous and people SHOULD stand up and speak out against it and challenge this when potty things like this happen, because if we let political correctness episodes like this rule the day and get things like Easter/Christmas etc changed and/or needlessly banned because of fear of offence to others, then this country has literally sunk into a VERY sad state of affairs indeed. Just saying ok.I see your point but let us keep it clean.. yes given its a tradition celebrated around the world. and I understand the anger towards all this.

But TBH this can be said for Bonfire night, as its offends. it is only offending because it is not part of what other do. and that it cannot be changed on offending rights. Everything that has happened for years up to now is a UK tradition and should stick around to show the masses that we still have a love for things like this.
I accept your frustrations, I agree completely I mean countless of times people say it's offending my religion this and that and the other. But what it boils down to. When people state that then why is that not offend the person in question who getting blasted with this type of attitude.I apologize Gaz and I am sorry, but this ridiculous notion of banning seemingly innocent and fun things for "fear of offending other ethnic minorities and/or religeons" is literally verging on the ridiculous and people SHOULD stand up and speak out against it and challenge this when potty things like this happen, because if we let political correctness episodes like this rule the day and get things like Easter/Christmas etc changed and/or needlessly banned because of fear of offence to others, then this country has literally sunk into a VERY sad state of affairs indeed.
