Two years ago he derided politically-correct Christmas cards which do not mention the word Christmas as 'insulting tosh'. But last night David Cameron was facing a backlash from his own party after it emerged the Conservative official cards have the message 'Season's Greetings'. The Christmas cards, which are available on the party's website, avoid all religious imagery - preferring generic winter scenes and pictures of robins to pictures of Jesus and the Three Kings. And the word Christmas does not appear on them at all. Yesterday, Tory back-benchers were furious with indications that their party is becoming so politically correct.

Philip Davies, MP for Shipley, said: 'If this decision has been made on a PC basis it would be totally unacceptable and I would be extremely saddened. 'This kind of pandering to extreme elements of the PC brigade is not something I would envisage from the Conservative Party. I have yet to meet anyone of any religion who is offended by people in this country celebrating Christmas.

If you think we're going to get anything different under a Conservative government then maybe its time to think again.

Urrgh, saying "Season's Greetings" sounds so American :/ It has and always will be "Merry Christmas". Such a stupid idea. The images aren't really that big a deal, religious cards should be sold alongside normal cards so they're acceptable for the Christian few who believe in that sort of thing :/ They're hardly offensive anyway, though some generic images are so boring. Street views with decorations are better than just snow... Lots and lots of snow...

This is just a small part of it, the Conservatives should be preparing for office rather than dithering over whether or not their Christmas Cards will upset minorites or not. Blue Labour.

Where did I say Christmas cards needed sorting first?

I'm sorry, but I don't see what the problem with Merry Christmas is, even Happy Christmas is bad enough, but Season's Greetings is just a step too far for me.
