Pupils at a church primary school in the UK have been banned from singing John Lennon's Imagine - because the prat of a headteacher says it is "anti-religious".
The song was pencilled in for an end-of-term concert at St Leonard's CofE school in Exeter, Devon.
But according to The Sun, they sang The Building Song instead because head Geoff (prat) Williams thought it more suitable.
Lennon's famous hymn to peace imagines a world with "no religion" - and that would be a bad thing?
The report goes on to say:
Parent Deborah Dorman said: "It is a great song and it seems over-sensitive to remove it. It think the words are fantastic."
Mr Williams countered: "As a church school, we decided it was not appropriate to sing it."
School Governer Rev David Harris added: "The song expresses longing for a different world and for eternal happines.
"But it says you can have this without religion."
Terry Sanderson of the National Secular Society said: "The song is quite innocent. It's incredible churches are happy to censor it."
"The song expresses longing for a different world and for eternal happines.
"But it says you can have this without religion."
Well eh yes; that's the fucking point - of course you can.......and all the better the world would be for it.

Do Police officers in Dubai accept “Bribes” ?
Apparently, YES!
So this friend of ours was in a taxi being driven down to Sharjah, the cab guy skips a light at the Galadhari cross roads and changes three lanes in a go. The cab got pulled over and the Cops came over and wanted to arrest this guy. Not the Driver, but the passenger,(Brown passenger).
The cops asked him if he was drinking, (remember he was not in Sharjah yet, still a few hundred meters away from the border),
The guy freaked out so he offers a bribe, AED 1,800 that he happened to have in his pocket. And guess what, the Uniformed Dubai Police Officer accepts it and lets him go.
Now we understand that corruption is endemic in this region, however is it acceptable to fleece the underprivileged? Oh allk right this over paid brown guy we are taling about is not part of the ,”underprivileged”, but WTF? Well Dubai is progressing and ……
Dubai = a wanna be First world country?
Dubai = stereotypical Arab nation with nothing new to offer.
