Is the DM getting quite clever in the way it reports the news?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2509937/Council-spies-launch-undercover-operation-156-year-old-Morris-Dancing-troupe-claiming-performance-broke-health-safety-laws.html

Quote:
A Morris Dancing troupe which has performed at the same festival every year for over 100 years may never perform there again after council inspectors allegedly accused them of breaching health and safety rules.


Quite clearly the council are well within their rights to get this Health and Safety nuisance sorted out!!!!! :D

In the unlikely event anyone missed the obvious here is a clue... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-e ... e-24999917

To be fair, only forty of them had jobs, and 38 of them were Council spooks who couldn't break cover to donate any cash :roll: :roll:

Well that's just it..

The council are clearly not happy with the racial undertones of them blacking their faces or I suppose the use of the word coco in their name.
The article says they have been doing it for donkeys years and that they continue more in tradition than anything else.

Clearly the council cannot ban them under usual racial legislation ect as it is this tradition and there is no suggestion anywhere that they do it to 'wind people up'.

Hence the drummed up H&S bullshit....

Next they will be airbrushing the Black and White minstrels from history!! Sound far fetched?
Not when Edinburgh police are looking for someone to charge for restoring a 1938 mural in a primary school....

Quote:
A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Police in Edinburgh have received a complaint in relation to a mural at a primary school in the Trinity area.

"Officers are now liaising with Edinburgh City Council education department with regards to this matter.

"Police Scotland treats all reports relating to hate incidents extremely seriously and will thoroughly investigate whenever a report of this nature is made.


So restoring a mural is now a hate crime?

Only if it's white on black. The other way around and they turn a blind eye for fear of accusations.

What a pathetic country we now live in
