From the BBC:

That's it, chase the little people and let the big firms do what they like

I think it's right that a shop should be expected to serve anyone whoever they are. But there's NO WAY in a free country anyone should be forced to create a slogan which is contrary to their beliefs if they don't want to.

Meanwhile a London council struts around ignoring the law indeed poking two fingers up at it and all that happens is they send a few inspectors down there to put them on the naughty step.

Thanks LibLabCon you are doing a really great job governing 21st Century Britain..

Here's another example of 'tolerance' 2014 style:

When making his protest outside Wakefield Cathedral in support of marriage as being between between a man and woman, Mr Barkley did not in any way mention, or associate himself with, the Red Cross. Neither was there any mention of the Red Cross on Mr Barkley's banner. Mr Barkley was dismissed simply because the Red Cross finds Mr Barkley's views on marriage unacceptable. I can only assume that the Red Cross no longer accepts contributions from people who continue to believe that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.

Clearly the Red Cross has become a political organisation committed to political correctness that is intended to re-frame our culture.

So if someone went into an ethnic shop and asked for a decoration of the British armed forces and was refused would the same happen ?

I'll bet not

The shop owner in such a case would probably be given an OBE, even a Knighthood, for defending 'British values' - as Cameron likes to refer to these things.

Speaking of the British Red Cross I'm sure I am not the only person who received ( unsolicited ) a big fat envelope from them through my letter box today ?

Having opened it I'm wading through the contents as I type, they are:

1 Pen
1 Bookmark
1 Plain white envelope
1 Freepost brown envelope
2 Christmas cards which are blank inside, presumably for me to fill and send to friends
4 Gift tags
1 begging letter which invites me to claim my FREE Red Cross bag or notebook, along with a plea for £5 to help 'someone in distress'

Apart from the pen the rest is going straight in the bin and I can't help but wonder how much money they wasted sending this stuff in the first place ? Probably far more than the £5 they are asking me for, which they are not getting anyway. It's a scandalous waste of money by so called charities.

I do make donations to the one or two charities of my choice, but the British Red Cross is certainly not one of them.

I'm very cynical about the away large well-known charities are run nowadays, they seem to pay their chief executives as though they were in the private sector rather than in the charity sector - and, (addressing the charities concerned), please don't say 'if we don't pay top dollar we won't attract the right kind of chief executives", it's absolute B****CKS! As for expenses some make the MP's look quite frugal!

I've been saying this for a long time. They all seem to have been hijacked by very political people who've never had real jobs and distort charities into campaigning organisations for trendy causes.

Re the big fat bundle of goodies you got in the post Moley, I get those too and my reaction is always that if they can afford to send that stuff out, they don't need my cash anything like as much as I do.
