Tits... Kirklees (My local authority) couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery. At least someones shown a modicum of common sense Organisers of a children's concert have been given the go-ahead for the three little pigs to appear, after they were banned over fears they might offend Muslims. Honley Junior School in West Yorkshire was to perform the Roald Dahl story of Little Red Riding Hood and the pigs - but was told to substitute puppies. Now Kirklees Council has stepped in to allow the pigs a reprieve. No complaints had been made about the pigs appearing in the Kirklees Primary Music Festival event. 'Something barmy' The committee organising the concert decided Muslim children may not want to sing about pigs. However, council education spokesman Jim Dodds told BBC Five Live the decision had been overturned. He 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. "The decision (to ban the pigs) was made by well-meaning people - it was the wrong decision, so let's stick with the traditions." The festival is due to take place in June.

wht about all of the muslim festivals that we have to be part of to stop 'Racial Hatred'??
what have the pc brigade put a stop to recently??
kids cant wear Eye-patches while being pirates incase they offend the blind....who incidentally cant se the eye-patches Mothers day cards incase they offend orphans Pigs incase they offend muslims Nativity Plays incase they offend other religions Crucifixes arent allowed to be worn by christians at some places of work...but muslim women are allowed to wear theyre traditional veils
its stupid.. it wouldnt surprise me if they banned alcohol and the eating of food during ramadan, or the doing of ANYTHING on the Sabbath incase any jews are offended

ban alcohol? over my dead highly flammable body ...Beware spontaneous combustion! And yes, it is fucking stupid TW. This might sound a bit BNP, but why should we have to scrap English traditions in case we offend migrants and their descendants? Surely it is their prerogative to our adjust to our society rather than us to theres.
