The Conservatives have claimed Good Friday

Mamardoit

If it's a poster plastered all over buses and hoardings I can see why people would find it offensive. Is it something just on a twitter post? I don't do twitter so not really sure how it works. Do you have to purposely log on to someone to see it?

Twitter is an extremely effective way for politicians and everybody else to communicate with their public. You don't need to log on to see it. Whether the image is on Twitter or on a bus its still Zahawi trying to associate himself and his party with a religious festival.

I don't have any problem with politicians greeting their constituent on any religious festival but this one is just a sad and blatant attempt to associate Christianity with being Conservative. He's an idiot.

Why do you find it offensive suziewoozie you place the crucifixion with a ‘dirty little affair’.

4 posts yesterday sharing the true meaning of Good Friday, 26
today because a politician posted a cross.

To those who said thst I shouldn’t have posted it and given it more publicity are you actually saying that in a democracy the rather grubby offensive actions of a Government minister should be hidden and I should collaborate with that? You’ll be saying next we shouldn’t be discussing the grubby offensive dirty little affair of the PM with the pole dancer. Had it been a left of centre politician tweeting this, there would have been a stampede to post in on GN.

Apologies for snapping at you, too, Lucca.

I'm not even a practising christian any more, but I was brought up as one and I do know what it's about.

Ooops I’m so sorry , I wrote that too quickly. I should have said it s ok to recognise/mention/mark Good Friday but ...etc.
Again apologies.

Eazybee if you’re a christian fine to wish people good Friday but no need for the conservative logo added, surely ?

If you're a Christian you don't wish people 'Good Friday'. It's the saddest moment in the Christian year. It's not a bloody cheery greeting.

Suzie by posting it here you gave it more publicity!

Perhaps it's a futile attempt to attract the Christian voter.

I say futile because surely no-one who believes in the teachings of Christ could possibly have any time for this government?

I wouldn’t have seen it if it hadn’t been posted here.

I consider it offensive and I’m an atheist.

I don't find it in the least offensive.

Ignorance of the fact that highlighting Good Friday does not apply to non religious voters. Quite divisive actually.

I think it is quite offensive sticking Conservative on that poster

Where is this appearing? On posters?

Absolutely SW, but actually I still wouldn’t have given it further publicity by reposting it.

Ignorance of what?

Arrogance or ignorance?

Molly ?????????He branded it. You’d have said the same if Sturgeon or Starmer had done it?

These are very worrying times.

The number of people not on Twitter, who will not see it unless people decide to give it more publicity and spread the word by reposting the picture will far exceed the few who have seen it and even those may not have noticed the Conservative label at the bottom.
I can think of far worse things to say about Nadhim Zahawi than that he acknowledges Good Friday.

It won’t upset their core supporters

Be cheered. That will upset so many people they will lose votes. What are they thinking?

This government are beyond shame and can literally do anything they want
