The offensive Red Cross flag is causing great gnashing of teeth among the British Parliament's lunatic left
There’s a reason Gordon Brown’s Labour party is going down in flames. Well, there are actually a lot of reasons. But here’s another one.
Labour Foreign Office Minister Chris Bryant wants to dump the Red Cross’ well-known logo because it is supposedly linked to the Crusades.
Forget the fact that the logo has been one of the world’s most identifiable symbols for more than 100 years. Bryant is quivering with fear that it may suddenly offend Muslims. And that, of course, simply will not fly in today’s politically correct world.
Don’t dispair. There are voices of reason in the British Parliament.
Hey, wait a minute. That offensive Red Cross flag looks a lot like the offensive Swiss flag.
“At face value to the layman it seems at best a solution looking for a problem,” said Philip Davies, a Tory Member of Parliament, “and at worst another example of extreme political correctness. No one has ever suggested to me that the Red Cross refers to the Crusades.”
Davies is on the right track. Turns out the logo has absolutely nothing to do with the Crusades. In fact, the Red Cross Movement wasn’t founded until 1863. It’s logo, a red cross on a white background, is the reverse of the Swiss flag. It’s never had any religious meaning and tradition says it’s a tribute to legendary Swiss neutrality.
Davies is also demanding that Hershey change the logo for the Hershey bar because it’s half nuts and that will offend Muslims, too.
