This time in Devon, England where angel wings have been banned from nativity plays;
Linda Mitchell, headmistress at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic primary school in Paignton, Devon, told parents they would have to get rid of the wings on their little girls' angel outfits or they would be banned from taking part in the Christmas play.
Mrs Mitchell said that, because the wings, which are all made by the parents, had been of all shape and sizes, some of the children had been scratched during last year's nativity play.
She added: "We hold our services in a church where there are candles and if children turn around, there is a risk they could catch fire.
"For the safety of the children, staff decided that this year the angels would not have wings."
What next? Trees without Xmas lights, puddings without coins, crackers without bangers....what about a ban on fat Father Christmas' 'sending the wrong message to society' about healthy eating?
Stupid ban. Stupid people. There's no shortage of them.

Its hard to soar like an angel when the PC turkeys pluck your wings.
Even sillier when it's the (presumably Catholic) teacher doing the plucking. I'd expect nothing less from the authorities, but for her to meekly fall into line is just spineless.
