Why don't we report that this is plainly absolute fucking bollocks on stilts though? Why does every Winterval and "baa baa rainbow sheep" story have to be treated as if the freaks have a point of view worth considering?
Culture war latest: the Bank of England has announced that after a public consultation, to which it received 44,000 responses, the next new banknotes will feature native wildlife.
Tories: "It is deeply depressing that under Lab our national heroes are considered too 'divisive' to be on bank notes."

Kemi Badenoch just an ace away from complaining about Winterval. Beyond parody, and deeply depressing.

This reminds me! Five years ago I had a chat with the local council official who created “Winterval” in 1998. A real canary in the coal mine of future British culture wars. TBH the real story is that councils used to have money to spend on cultural events. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Politicians whanging on about Christmas is festive Godwin's law. The first one to mention "Christian celebration" or "woke councils insisting on Winterval" loses.

Its factored in to the outrage calendar. Next up "Winterval".
Oh this years Poppy outrage from the Daily Express is about the White Poppy. Screaming about it being woke and having a tantrum about it. Honestly it’s so tiring every bloody year they create something from nothing.

He sees you when you’re sleeping
He sees you if you’re woke
Insists he heard it’s “winterval”
And says you can’t do jokes
Culture Wars is coming to town

It'll always be Winterval to me.
As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.

[8] Such was the annoyance of the unilateral decision of the City Fathers to change the name, that the next year Winterval disappeared like selection boxes in January! So when any tulip tells you there’s a war on Christmas, there isn’t, there’s just a bunch of idiot councillors!

[6] This find body of local government decided that having a Christmas Festival might be offensive to non-Christians & so came up with ‘Winterval’. And as it is written, so it was raised up in flashing lights above the city centre. Queue general confusion amongst the locals. Like WTF?
