- 3rd November 2010, from the Shropshire Star
A right-wing group has threatened £500,000 action against councils in Shropshire if they hold any festive events that do not contain the word Christmas in the title.
The English Defence League has written to all major councils in the country – including Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin – warning them not to “lose the meaning of Christmas”.
The group is threatening repeat demonstrations in towns and villages it believes to be ignoring its advice.
Events that may be deemed to breach the EDL threat include Christmas lights switch-ons, pantomimes and nativity plays.
