The war on Christmas
This is the time when we get media stories about a war on Christmas. Normally it is absolute rubbish peddled by those who wish to set faith comunities against each other.
However this story concerning Father Christmas visit to children incarcerated at Yarls Wood is a rejection of the inclusive nature of the Christmas story of God's taking flesh as a sign of divine love for all.
So the home Office are the first this year to spit in the face of Christmas. Sometimes this country fills me with shame!

We've had a couple of families in Yarl's Wood and they certainly didn't feel happy there.

The public issues team are running a campaign on this issue - alongside the childrens society (and various others who are coming on board) - asking everyone to send one more card and ask for this disgraceful treatment of families to stop.
