Firm withdraws ‘disgusting’ Christmas cards painting people living on estates as workshy, thieving drunks amid widespread outrage

Clinton Cards apologised yesterday after it was forced to pull a “vile” Christmas card that denigrated people who live on council estates.

The company’s “Council Estate Santa Claus Christmas card” was taken off the company’s website after it was inundated with criticism on social media.

The offending article listed “10 reasons why Santa must have lived in a council estate” starting with “a serial record of breaking and entering” and “he only works once a year.”
