No, Cadbury Hasn’t ‘Removed Easter’ From Easter Eggs.
No one's removing the word "Easter" from packaging, chocolate eggs have nothing to do with Christianity in any case, and some very sinister groups are trying to convince us all that Muslims are offended by much loved British traditions and trying to get them banned.

How does anyone live in the US or the UK as a Christian and manage to feel oppressed?
I say this as a Christian.
But then they think that the oppression is going to be something oblique and subtile? Which only shows a total lack of imagination or experience with religious oppression.
Which is happening now to Muslims and to Jewish people in both the US and UK.
Meanwhile I can start talking about Jesus at any moment and nobody cares.
@futurebird @afewbugs it's not really 'people' it's a very established, well funded, right wing press that constantly churns out flimsy outrage stories like this and has done for decades.
Don't think anyone would independently come up with this idea themselves.
Edit: specific example I remember was 'left wing councils are cancelling Christmas' in the mid to late '90s. Found it on wiki

@catch56 @futurebird @afewbugs of course, in the UK, despite our King being head of the Church of England as well as head of state and Anglican bishops still voting in the House of Lords, as of our last census Christians are actually a (very much not persecuted) minority in England and Wales (46%) and those of no religion are a majority in Scotland (51%). This compares with 74% professed Christians in the (constitutionally non-religious) USA.
Time we disestablished the Church of England.
