Similarly, their pronouncements on various issues throughout the year will also be given equal airtime.</p> <p>Timed to coincide with the new slogan ‘Fair Play Is The Tory Way’ Prime Minister David Cameron said: “Look, we do not live in a dictatorship and I think it is only right and proper this change takes place. Additionally, because of banks’ recent criminal, selfish and reckless behaviour, the term ‘Bank Holiday’ is to be outlawed.”</p> <p>In a survey, 87% of the public think the move is a ‘good idea’ but Father Christmas look-alike Rowan Williams, the outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury, said: “This is outrageous – there is not a shred of evidence to indicate God does not exist. It is every child’s duty to be brainwashed with made-up mumbo jumbo and the responsibility of non-believers to prove beyond doubt it is no more than a fairy story social control device.”</p> <p>As its social make-up changes, experts believe in about 20-30 years’ time the UK can look forward to St George’s Day becoming ‘Prophet Mohammed Day’, Christmas Day being phased out and a civil war between atheists and Muslims. </p>
