For many older folkz like me, the English Christmas of
today has become close to empty and almost meaningless
for many of us. We can hardly even say “Merry Christmas”
thesedays without the fear of being corrected and told to
say “Festive” or "Mid-Winter Celebration,” instead of
saying, like we always have of old, “A Merry Christmas.”
Nor can we decorate our Christmases like the past with-
out the mindless ranters of those who care more for the
religious or non-religious feelings of others, than

[The UK Court Service, by the way, is now packed with
immigrant-born and foreign-born court judges and employees,
just like is H.M. Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) with their huge
legal staff that New Labour has deliberately installed at all levels
of the British legal system over the past decade or so. Thus, such
helps to explain the reason behind the ban of English Christmas
decorations at where such non-believers, immigrant-born and
immigrant-born and foreign-born court judges and employees,
just like is H.M. Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) with their huge
legal staff that New Labour has deliberately installed at all levels
of the British legal system over the past decade or so. Thus, such
helps to explain the reason behind the ban of English Christmas
decorations at where such non-believers, immigrant-born and
foreign-born staffers overwhelmingly tread!! They're another
reason why "Broken Christmas At Broken Britain" has become
so evident thesedays. We must always say "Ramadan," but
we're almost castigated for say "Christmas" as Christians now
in our own growing darkey and broken British society ...]

What we also see is how the secular, commercial, and
consumer forces have deliberately diluted the religious
meaning and the traditonal essense of Christmas forever
and, of course, for the worse. Many older people feel
Christmas has been hijacked in Britain for the sake
of greedy profits by godless profiteers and
anti-Christian heathens.

A clear sign of the broken times we're living in is
seen inside Broken Britain at this Christmastide
by the demand for special ambulances to treat ex-
treme binge-drinking by pre-teens to regular drunks
of the age forty something. Making merry was once
harmless fun with a drink or two here and there, but
no longer. Broken Christmas cries out loud with broken
people who wreak havoc where ever they go with their
dizzy hours of compulsive binge-drinking of just about
any kind of booze they can afford to lay their hands on.
Britian's "Nanny State" insists then on treating such people
at no cost to such bingers and drunks with free treatment
given of such foul people on the streets of London, and
around the country, at all hours of the day and night,
but most especially during the Christmas and New Year
period. Street violence and random muggings are now
part of the fallout from the binge-drinking culture of
Broken Britain. Bingers and drunks become easy prey
for the vile street muggers, roadside criminals, and
animalistic thugs that openly prowl without fear of
being caught or punished.

Look also at the London store windows and see the
tacky and piecemeal Christmas decorations that seem
almost done as a token rather than any desire to expr-
ess Christmas joy and goodwill. Covent Garden and the
West End brand name stores were once truly tasteful
and elaborate with Christmas decorations, and even
Christmas scenes, proudly displayed for all to see.
Now, the quicker they can get the cheap decorations
up and taken down, the better for the stores that no
longer want to spend time or money on doing fine
Christmas decorations. Plus, even the street Xmas
decorations border more and more on the secular and
non-religious depiction of Christmas that are almost
meaningless to the eye or mind. Such again symboli-
zes "Broken Christmas at Broken Britain," yet again.

***And while news reports of this year's emerging
vogue of so-called traditional or "Heritage Christmas"
having come into play with recreating some of the old
Yudetide events of the past around the UK, the fact
still remains that all around us we see little more than
"Broken Christmas at Broken Britain" of today compared
certainly to Christmases now past of our present lifetime.
Indeed, the heritage Christmas is a direct result of
today's modern broken Christmas.

Aside from that, what makes Christmas broken is the
prevailing broken spirit and broken message of
Christmas for millions who claim to be Christians and
who seem to have forgotten that Christmas wouldn't
exist without the extraordinary birth of Jesus!! They
deny His magical presence and the reason why we first
celebrate Christmastide because of His Holy Name.
Instead, many have gotten caught-up in the secular and
consumer mechanics of Christmas over the spiritual and
emotional faith that has died in the souls and minds of
the people at this "Broken Christmas at Broken Britain."

***Standing on the freezing streets of London best gives
insight in the modern Broken Christmas as masses go
by and completely ignore Big Issue street vendors
trying to make alittle bit extra at this Christmastide.
The more Xmas shopping bags the individual has, the
more likely he or she will not stop and give alittle of
their riches to the homeless vendor. As the masses
walk on by, look at their hearts of concrete, their
eyes blind, their mouths sealed, their humanity
shuttered, their minds closed, their spirit dead,
and their souls lost. And brutally cold and im-
personal are they that have not been taught the
lesson of giving, especially at Christmas to those
who have the least. Lack of compassion for others
is what also produces today's "Broken
Christmas at Broken Britain."

Here's more of what I have to say about our
"Broken Christmas at Broken Britain" :-
Many London Councils, like the vicious Westminster Council,
now refuse to even recognise Boxing Day – the day after
Christmas Day in the UK – in order to impose traffic tickets
and fines on unsuspecting Christmas folks who park to visit
and shop at Covent Garden and the West End still thinking
it's free parking on Boxing Day. Such councils are close to
mafioso -in their lawless greed to extract every penny
they can by means of their tyrannical enforcement against
motorists who fall foul of their wicked parking rules that
are primarily designed with only one thing in mind - to
get more money from the motoring public by almost
any dirty trick or cunning means. To such councils,
they're saying to "hell with goodwill at Christmas!"
Godless greed is their motto and their vicious existence
inside Broken Britain ... How horrid!! They always im-
pose grief on the public with their mindless traffic
wardens who are basically the dregs of society.

Another sad example of "Broken Christmas at Broken Britain"
is the cold 600-word Big Issue piece entitled “Don’t screw us in
is the cold 600-word Big Issue piece entitled “Don’t screw us in
2010” by the one and only editor-in-chief John Bird. What a cold
unChristmas -message he wrote and published with only one
word of his that used the word “Christmas,” and only once, in
the last of the 2009 so-called Festive Issues of his with Paul
McCartney headlining the mag’s Christmas Interview. To
read John Bird’s utterly self-centred piece was like Christ-
mas doesn't even exist in his own unfeeling “Bird’s Eye
View.” How pathetic and how pitiful was his own empty
"Xmas" message!! Screw the messenger next, yep?
