Reaction To The Three Little Puppies
The decision to rename the Three Little Pigs to Puppies has been overturned by the council. Council education spokesman Jim Dodds, said, "There is something barmy going on here and it has happened on my watch. I can tell you now that the three little pigs will be back into the school musical festival."
He added that, "The decision (to ban the pigs) was made by well-meaning people."
Mohammed Imran, of the Hanfia Mosque and Educational Institute in Lockwood, also praised the intention of the decision. He said, "I think it's great that the festival organisers are considering things which might offend Muslims."
However, not everyone was happy with the thinking behind the decision. Philip Davies, the Conservative MP for Shipley said:
My view is that the people responsible for this are completely bonkers. It is the type of political correctness which makes people's blood boil. As usual it is done in the name of ethnic minorities but it is perpetrated by white, middle class, do-gooders with a guilt complex and far too much time on their hands.
Would "white, middle class, do-gooders with a guilt complex and far too much time on their hands" be a fair description of most of the radical Islam loving liberal elite?
