Jesus axed by Aberdeen council

Aberdeen council officials want to scrap a city centre nativity scene – because they can only afford Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

And there could be further cuts to Christmas celebrations in Aberdeen with plans to dump a festive party for deprived and special needs children and street entertainment.

Full story at the Aberdeen Evening Express.
