In the main they are just catering for the "Christian"...555....expats in order to make (more) money.

 

Out in the sticks they pay little attention to it......New Year is the big event.

That isn't capitalism, that's the failure of the UK to protect and care for their vulnerable people.

 

If not for capitalism, those old people, like most other people, probably wouldn't be alive to die.

We will just agree to disagree.

Sure, but, you realise that "capitalism" is only really an economic system, right?  The way we use it is to not just let it run wild.  It's regulated, taxed, it has laws that control it, and, importantly, we have a welfare system that works independently of it.  You should know this.

Neither is Chri......scrub that.

 

You're actually correct.  It can be celebrated as a religious event, it has its origins in religion, but it is celebrated, probably by most who celebrate it, as a non-religious event.
