Apparently the M&S Christmas advertisement showing paper hats burning in the fireplace depicts the Palestinian flag!

Given the ethnicity of the founders then quite possibly. :rofl:

Though maybe the Italians upset them?

Yes, was supposedly finished in August,

We'll have to ban all red, green & silver Christmas decorations as well - as we don't want to be seen as supporting Palestine over Israel...or vice versa :headbang:

That's what's wrong with the easily-offended thicko hate mobs - they're easily offended and are thick. I think I'll keep praying to the almighty Rastabilly Skank :P

Like seeing the protests in London, we are overrun with the nutters.

I wished M&S had a backbone and stood up for our values, but then again I can understand why as the Muslim mobs will burn the shops down and we can forget about any protection by the police.

The advert is illegal anyway, unless the firewood has been tested to be less than 11% moisture and sourced from sustainable supplies. Should have a fireguard aswell for 'elf and safety' :lol:

M&S being a 'jewish' company won't help the nutters' ideas, will it? Maybe John Lewis could show support by burning an Iranian flag!

I heard someone was arrested at a halloween party for dressing up as the 'Manchester Arena bomber'. Police are desperately trying to find a law he has broken. Bad taste, yes. A crime, though?
