I've seen this posted by a friend on facebook today. He says "I got it from a media source, & it's apparently embargoed until midnight tonight as I think it may be hitting national news outlets some time this week. I don't have such reporting restrictions, so here it is." Direct quote.

People (not mutual friends thankfully) are commenting, a few have asked if it's a spoof but most seem to believe it. I've declared that it's absolute bollocks but even so. "Militant feminist forum"? Fuck off!

Besides, if we banned Christmas we'd lose half of AIBU at a stroke because people wouldn't have anything to argue with their families about....... Wink

I'm still varying between amusement and anger here, why are people so very gullible and not engaging their brains these days?

Not sure about The Times headline. Pretty sure they get unhappy about people falsely using their name and typeface.

Ha ha. This is the same as those people who get the rage about 'Easter' supposedly being removed from chocolate eggs packaging every year, and yet somehow it never is.

Just went and checked what Bunbury has to say about Xmas.

She says "Be sure to put your sprouts on in November."

I'm just surprised someone hasn't called for a gender neutral nativity yet. Men can experience immaculate conception too you transphobes!

Why wasn't this posted in the Christmas topic?

That's so obviously made up it's not funny. How do people fall for it?

VickyEadie · 21/10/2018 14:12

I love Xmas. Am completely atheist and feminist.

I'm sorry your friends have no critical faculties whatsoever.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/10/2018 14:11

It's not even a good spoof - doesn't capture the Times style at all.

TheCrowFromBelow · 21/10/2018 14:10

Hmm not posted very well
It’s you thread
And underneath a chat thread called
Xmas

TheCrowFromBelow · 21/10/2018 14:10

FFS, these people are desperate, aren't they? And not terribly mentally healthy, I think.

Funny that a search doesn't show up any posts at all from those two usernames?

Can you reply to your friend "why on earth are you sharing such obvious utter rubbish?"
