Lord Ashcroft jingled the War on Christmas bell and Twitter well and truly decked his halls

HAPPY FESTIVE SEASON TO ALL.

DO NOT FUCKING CALL IT CHRISTMAS OR YOU WILL GET CANCELLED.

Has anyone really ever asked you to *not* say "happy Christmas"? Really?

Please just stop with with your divisive, made up, 'Grandad's been on the Pernod' nonsense.
Thank you. https://t.co/pD3N76vXs6

We were all wondering what prompted the outburst, but this could explain it.

I would like to own up and say I’m the person that asked Lord Ashcroft not to say ‘happy Christmas’ but only as part of a bigger ‘please shut up about everything all the time’ request. https://t.co/kHlAtJpZjH
