Look forward to the new year – join the greens as there are lots of decent people there that used to be in the labour party! You can escape the ET Evangelical Tendancy ..You are NOT born again of new labour ?…It is liberating. You can oppose their crazy policies like privatising military training and selling it of to arms dealers like Raytheon of cluster bomb fame and other coporate rotters like EPS – qinetiq, serco…(americanisation) Use you hols to think of a list of top 20 worst policies to oppose…privating military training to arms dealers, id cards, asbos, massive jails, 42 days, war, Iraq, protest. environment, transport ….Then plan to get out there and DO something..PROTEST…if you live in Cardiff join us at the Senedd .Welsh Assembly Jan 17 13:00 no2St athan Military Academy

Irony often gets lost on this site. I couldn’t care less about the environment.

Put up some lights, build a crib, fly the flag of St George if you want. Nobody’s going to arrest you, not even your ZaNuLabour multicultural police taskforce. Just don’t bloody whinge about it.

Damn straight!

Good list Donald… though I’m doing the e-card business too… and sending everyone christmas messages (through facebook, hehe).

“of course I shall rather be having a *liberal* little Christmas!”

Me too. And I already do the ethical shopping thing. My local little organic shop gave me my milk for free today to say Merry Humbug

Nice suggestions.

Though Nyetimber is overpriced rubbish IMO.

OT funniest seasonal cartoon was I think last week in the Times.
A boy in bed catching dad filling the stocking, with dad saying “Santa prefers to donate through a third party”.

Neither is sending Christmas cards to everyone in your street….

send everyone an e-card…

I’m also giving people presents in gift bags this year on the premise that they get passed on and re-used or given back to me to re-use if the recipient prefers.

Putting up lights isn’t very eco friendly.
