Showing the spirit of both Christmas and what I consider real 'Britishness' the men of 40 commando won a Christmas day firefight with the Taliban on Christmas day shouting 'Merry Christmas' when coming under fire then marching back to base wearing Santa hats - God bless you all lads!

Meanwhile back in Blighty the Muslim community are at it again exercising their rights of 'equality' and generally upsetting people, this time they want to broadcast a call to prayer to a city centre mosque over a loudspeaker, local residents quite rightly feel that this would turn the area into a 'Muslim Ghetto'

The idea of allowing calls to prayer after receiving such publicity has much further reaching consequences, if this is allowed in Oxford (as it already is in some cities) it surely won't be long before every Town, and City in the country is bellowing out calls to prayer three times a day - unwanted by the majority of the population. Isn't it about time someone addressed this rapidly growing problem?
