New blog
A new far-centre-right blog from DumbJon, erstwhile commenter on other far-centre-right blogs. I predict this will unmissable.A debate of minor interest has taken place on Harry's blog about the culture department's lack of Christian symbols (or even the mention of Christmas on its' cards). I think a lot of what defines 'Christmas' is pretty modern anyway, and so what they choose is up to them , while the post suggets, if deliberate, if was the decision-making process that was wrong and represents the thinking that 'severs us from our past'.
I quote some interesting points from the Economist's coverage (which don't necessarily refute the original point) -
The Archbishop of Canterbury sent a card featuring only a picture of Lambeth Palace.
"biblicial scenes were never common, even when the majority went to Church"
"A study by two priests in 1946 showed that only a tiny percentage of cards had any religious content"
