Ah, I saw that claim and added it to the list of dodgy AS/foreign/immigrant sex crime stats doing the rounds as I want to do a piece on all of those.

That’s a little less digging for me to do now. Thank you! 😁

Awesome debunk!

It really does! I fancy a trip to Sheffield now! 😁

Protect your blood pressure

Don’t fall for the rage bait

Always apply some critical thought when you see posts like that

Christmas is alive and well

No one is taking it away from you

Go out and enjoy yourself. See family and friends. Take part in the festivities🎄🎄🎄

We used to have 1 “light switch on” on 1 evening and that was largely it - outside of what was happening in shops

Now we have so much more on offer, over a whole month

A one-off light switch on is less relevant and hard to manage. So some towns will drop them

It’s not that deep!

No one is “cancelling” Christmas.

Not even Muslims😜

Occasionally places will decide to change the events they chose to host for practical reasons, or even because life moves on and people enjoy different activities.

We’re going to see more of this ridiculous “they’re cancelling Christmas” narrative.

It’s basically Rage-Bait LAW from the 12th November, just as soon as Poppy Rage is over.

Try not to get sucked in👍🏼

It’s not good for your blood pressure to get so angry about imaginary problems

Maybe a Victorian Christmas Market is more your scene?

Or Theatre or Panto?

Or a Christmas Tree festival?

There’s plenty more. You get the idea.

But maybe that’s not enough lights for you.

So how about 10 days where Sheffield’s historic landmarks are light up with different light projections celebrating the City?

You can spend the weekend at the ‘Crackers for Christmas’ event.

A free family-friendly weekend of activities, music, storytelling, crafts and panto.

This is the “replacement” for the light ‘switch on’.

I think everyone will be ok 👍🏼
