I love METRO

In response to annual calls to ban the word
"Christmas":

I would just like to know who these faceless do-gooders against Christmas are. In fact, I think they need deporting for all the damage they do with their warped views. I think they must have forgotten which country they live in.
Sue Blackburn, Surrey

Lest we forget the Metro is a subsidiary of the Evening Standard which is a younger cousin of the Daily Mail, though no less authoritarian in nature. If only this woman were in charge of immigration policy eh?
