Call for religious tolerance

by isleofman.com 1st November 2007
The Commanding Officer for the Salvation Army in the Isle of Man says we need to keep Christmas.

Major Nigel Collins is reacting to a Labour Party 'think-tank' which suggests it should only be celebrated in Britain if other religious festivals are marked as well.

The proposal has provoked a mixed reaction, with those against claiming it's political correctness gone mad.

Major Collins says what's needed is tolerance (audio file attached):

Major Collins was speaking to Dan Davies on Talking Heads.
