| EU insults Christians |
| 2011-05-08 |
| The European Commission has apologised for printing more than three million school diaries containing no reference to Easter or Christmas. The diaries - 330,000 of which were delivered to UK schools - England is well and truly lost. - note Sikh, Hindu, Muslim and Chinese festivals, as well as highlighting "Europe Day" which falls on May 9. Let us know if you hear of any Christians rioting in the streets burning these diaries. The Ombudsman dismissed calls for the entire run to be recalled, saying the Commission's apology for the "regrettable" error, coupled with a one-page correction sent out to all schools showing the main public holidays in every EU member state, was sufficient. "In the Ombudsman's view, the actions which the Commission took to rectify the error were reasonable. Accordingly, the Ombudsman closed the case without further inquiries." I hope there's a lump of coal (and steel) in the Ombudsman's stocking this |

| #3 As someone somewhere else said, make the EU-crats work straight-time on Christmas and Easter, and they'll remember fast enough what these holidays are... |

| #2 I suppose we can assume the rest of the school books are just as accurate. |
