Sad Christmas trees:
Some bleeding heart liberal Jesus hating bureaucrat skimped on the Peterlee annual CHRISTmas tree, and the residents are furious. I suspect that the purchase order for the tree was falsified, and that the rest of of the money was blown on cheap liquor and gingerbread cookies.

Festive tree an 'insult' to town 
The tree is said to look like "something from a skip"
A Christmas tree has been branded an "insult" to a County Durham town.
The tree was to form the centrepiece of festive celebrations at Peterlee's Castle Dene Shopping Centre, but turned out to be smaller than expected. It was put up and decorated with coloured lights, but was described by one shopper as "the worst Christmas tree in the country".
A local councillor said it looked more like a twig than a tree and she had been inundated by complaints. The lights were switched on by pop star Natasha Hamilton, from girl band Atomic Kitten, who performed a string of hits in front of the tree.
'Awful thing'
Councillor Joan Maslin said she had received many complaints from residents about the state of the tree. "I would describe this tree as just like a twig. To be honest, it looks like something that people would throw in a skip after Christmas. If the shopping centre couldn't have afforded to put up a better Christmas tree they shouldn't have bothered.
"It is an insult to Peterlee."
