🚨 **BREAKING: Eid Mubarak 2026 – Council BANS ‘Eid Mubarak’ Greeting in Public Parks Without a Permit?** 🚨

Angry local resident Joan Hardcastle, 58, says she’s “absolutely fuming” after being told by a community warden that wishing someone “Eid Mubarak” in the local park could breach new “inclusive language” guidelines.

“I’ve lived here 40 years. I used to say ‘Happy Easter’ to my neighbours and nobody complained. Now my friend Fatima can’t say ‘Eid Mubarak’ to her own sister in the playground without needing a permit? **Where’s the common sense?**” Joan fumed on the “Easthampton Community Watch” Facebook group.

The post, which has since been shared over 6,000 times, shows a photo of a council leaflet titled “Be Mindful of Public Celebrations” – which Joan claims was handed to her at the park gates.

**Council spokesperson:** “This is a misunderstanding. We simply advise using designated celebration zones for large gatherings. Wishing someone ‘Eid Mubarak’ is absolutely fine – just maybe not through a megaphone at 7am.”

**Joan’s reply:** “Since when did saying ‘Happy Eid’ need a risk assessment? **It’s common sense – not a crime.** Let people be happy!”

The group has now been locked in a furious debate, with one commenter writing: “We’ve finally reached Peak Woke. Banning happiness now?” while another added: “Or – hear me out – just say it normally and ignore the leaflets? It’s not the Gestapo, Joan.”
