This news story comes to us from Scotland:

So let’s recap.  Western nations are being invaded by third-world immigrants who are raping and killing the native populations; government debt is so overwhelming that economies are on the verge of collapse; Russia and China are building their armed forces to exert political power over world affairs… and what the hell are our leaders doing?  Banning gingerbread men, of course.  Somebody might be offended!
