/"It is to be hoped that common sense prevails."
/It will not,I believe, this all started, when the British people (and 
this not a lesson from somebody who did a better job, because we here 
are in an even worse shape) didn't protest, when a lady in Brixton had 
to take here Staffordshire porcelain piglets of her own windowsill and 
when some idiot mayors agreed to calling Christmas "winter val" 
It goes downhill from there,and nobody seems to be able or willing to 
knock some electoral sense into the politicians who allow these 
perversions to become standard practice
