Off Topic Ahhh …..the bad news thread

I’m not stressed but this kind of PC’ness is dividing the country even further

 

Only if you let it bother you,

I don't care what Tesco does or says, as long as it has food on the shelves when I go shopping there.
Too many other proper worries in life to get stressed over supermarket silliness.

 

Can’t say it stresses me but the sheer stupidity of it is breathtaking.

 

Tiresome in my view.
Not worth worrying about.
Seems to me there is far too much offence being taken at silly nonsense these days.
I've been as guilty as anyone in the past. Getting all upset about a few flags (for example)
But really, life is too short. Enjoy the good, laugh at or ignore the silly.

Don't know about you guys, but I have had my fill of stress here in the last couple of weeks. I'm chilled now about life in general

 

It is the thin end of the wedge. When your nation's largest supermarket downplays Christmas, you know you are in trouble.

There are too many people rolling over and accepting this sort of desecration. It is no wonder we are imploding.

Out here in Belgium they are ramping up their Christmas celebrations, as it should be.

 

They will be changing the name of Christmas soon.

 

Happy holidays.

Sorry @Smudger603 what you've heard is not correct.

Tesco are selling one type of artificial tree which they have labelled as an 'Evergreen tree'.
The Supermarket is also continuing to sell several other types of tree, which are still labelled 'Christmas tree'.

However, the right wing press are distorting the facts, giving the impression that Tesco no longer sells any trees with the label 'Christmas tree'.
That is simply not true.

A little online research has uncovered the facts.
Tesco is offering a range of products to a wide variety of customers.
There are many kinds of non-Christian folk who still wish to celebrate a mid-Winter festival, even one with Christian sentiments.
It's possible that they might prefer to buy a tree without the word 'Christmas' on the packaging.
So one Tesco product (among a whole range, all of which are still labelled Christmas tree) caters for their wish.

The hysteria being whipped up about Tesco cancelling Christmas, and furious shoppers boycotting the store, is being driven by the usual suspects.
GB News. The Daily Mail. The Express. And various social media sources.
