I’ve never been religious. I went to Sunday School as a kid but it turned me off. I’ve always considered myself as an atheist and even thought the Church was hypocritical. But I’m beginning to change. I haven’t seen the light or anything but it’s the politically correct brigade who are converting me. It all started when British Airways banned a member of staff from wearing a cross whilst working (no doubt, at the same time, allowing a veiled woman to push the food and drinks trolley down the aisle of the 747).

Now they’re talking about toning down Christmas for fear of offending other religions. For God’s sake! (ooops sorry).

This is a Christian country. We respect other religions.

Time we started respecting our own.
