"Salvation Army bands have been forbidden from rattling their charity tins this Christmas to avoid "intimidating" people, it has been claimed.Bye bye Britain, it was nice knowing you.
Members have been issued with guidelines stating that they must keep their tins still even when music is playing. One volunteer with the Christian charity said she had been told that rattling could also offend other religions."
I am not a sheep, I have my own mind
I have had enough of being told what and how to think
Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of free speech,
I will speak out.
I also reserve the right to discuss less controversial matters should I feel the urge.

"Intimidation"

ReplyDeleteI don't know if it is an urban myth but it appears to be true. I was collecting money in a large plastic bucket at free gigs during the Swanage Blues Festival and was informed at one public house that I was not allowed to rattle the bucket. I could stand there passively - but not shake, rattle or roll!
