FURTHER to the letter from Mrs Austin (November 12) about the banning of Santa in Birmingham because it 'may cause offence to non-Christians', the fact is that many non-Christians are business people and so Christmas sales are of benefit to them.
If they haven't objected then why should the 'politically-correct brigade' do so? They are the ones who cause the problems.
I feel that in Bury we have good relations between the various cultures, due to groups working together to bring a better understanding of each others beliefs and traditions.
We now have a situation in this country where we mustn't offend anyone except Christians. Let each tradition celebrate what makes them special, and let's work even harder to understand this and to create a more peaceful world.
