Stalinist Santa?
Tis now the season to be jolly, so I have posted something festive over at The Sharpener: Would you let this man into your home?
It concerns the politics of Father Christmas, who by my analysis is a dangerous Stalinist. If you think he is of a different political hue, then please do visit The Sharpener and set me straight.

I know nothing about politics but i’m suprised, in today’s society, that santa hasn’t been hit with numerous court injunctions for breaking and entering:
n. 1) the criminal act of entering a residence or other enclosed property through the slightest amount of force (even pushing open a door), without authorization.
squeezing a fat man down a chimney, i’m sure, requires alot more force than pushing open a door. maybe he spends the first half of the year meeting with his lawyers and making court appearances. no doubt the odd out of court settlement.
another thing, how is such a prominent celebrity, not hauled throught the pages of the tabloids and gossip magazines for his less than perfect physique, health and fashion sense.

You sound as if you might be a police man. I am sure you know that you can’t take someone to court unless the householder is prepared to press charges and why would you press charges when your “burglar” has left all those nice pressies!

With any luck on the policeman front!!
You hear all sorts of stories, for example, of first aiders who save someone’s life but then get taken to court because the patient hadn’t given their consent to being saved!
With this type of attitude, i reckon some homeowners aren’t gonna let a few nice pressies stand in the way of pressing charges to earn a generous compensation package!!!

So we had better enjoy Santa while we can. Soon as he cottons on to the risks he is running he will stay in bed instead of setting off in the snow to deliver his pressies. Eight redundant reindeer!
