Theresa May has criticised the National Trust after the word 'Easter' was dropped from its annual egg hunt. The Prime Minister called the decision "absolutely ridiculous". Cadbury, which sponsors the annual event that takes place at National Trust properties across Britain, said it had taken the decision to drop the word 'Easter' from the egg hunt title for the first time in a decade in order to appeal to "people from all faiths and none". Speaking in Saudi Arabia where she is on a trade visit, May, an Anglican, said Easter was "very important" to her and she didn't know what the National Trust "are thinking".
