Just a case of a stupid councils taking offence on behalf of people they think will be offended and in fact aren't. Reminds me of the city council who removed a statue of a pig from a city park "in case it offended Muslims". When somebody bothered to go and ask some local Muslims about it, they said "Ermmm... what? Why should we be offended?"
Of course this is FR, so the usual suspects are all over this like a rash: "England going down the tubes, blah blah yakkety schmakkety"
