Britain is Anti-British
By Richard Littlejohn

The Red Cross banned its 430 charity shops from putting up Christmas decorations on the grounds that it might be “offensive” to non-Christians. A spokesman said, “The Red Cross is a neutral organisation and we don’t want to be aligned with any particular philosophy. We don’t want to be seen as a Christian or Islamic or Jewish organisation because that might compromise our ability to work in conflict situations around the world.”

The Red Cross is a Christian organisation. Where do they think the cross comes from? Muslim countries have their own version, called The Red Crescent. Are they abolishing Ramadan because it might be “offensive” to Christians, or Jews, or Hindus, or Zoroastrians? What do you think? The modern Red Cross is decidely not a neutral organisation. The leadership has fallen to the Guardianistas, like almost every other charity in Britain. They ruthlessly pursue an anti-British, anti-Christian, ultra-Left agenda. This is the same organisation, don’t forget, which bankrolled the Sangatte departure lounge and closed residential homes in Britain to concentrate on helping asylum seekers and illegal immigrants.

Another once-respected organisation now also firmly in the grip of the Guardianistas is the NSPCC. This year it has refused to accept second-hand toys for needy children, claiming such gifts breach European safety regulations. It says it would be too expensive to submit all the toys for inspection. The law the NSPCC quotes has been in existence since 1989. So why hasn’t it been invoked before? Needless to say, the NSPCC refuses to comment. The people in charge prefer to deprive children of a much-needed gift at Christmas rather than run the risk of facing accusations of being “bad Europeans”.

Anyone with a shred of common sense or humanity would simply have ignored the rules or challenged the Eurocrats to take them to court. Since 1989, how many children have been killed or injured by teddy bears, fluffy bunnies and cuddly toys donated to the NSPCC? Big charities these days are big businesses, run by self-regarding, Left-wing professionals hired out of the jobs pages of The Guardian. Hatred of everything remotely British is a defining characteristic of the people who run most public organisations these days, from the National Lottery to the Old Bill.
