Don’t braise or bake or boil us,  Or stir fry us in a wok. 

Thank you for that Aggressive rendition of our processional it puts me in a mood for aggression.  Now please open The Holy Text volume 1 to episode 16 page 218 where the prophets say …

Open your hymnal to page 23 and join us in singing “Lumber Jack Song” verse 2

And there will be showers sometimes heavy in many,  Oh sod it, I didn't wanna do this
I don't wanna be a weather forecaster,  

I don't wanna rabbit on all day about sunny periods
And patches of rain spritting from the west,  I wanted to be
A lumberjack!,  Leaping from tree to tree

Now please open The Holy Text volume 2 to episode 26 page 30 where the prophets say …

First Miner	Don't you talk to me like that, you lying bastard.
	He hits the second miner and a fight starts.
Second Miner	You bleeding pig. You're not fit to be down a mine.
First Miner	Typical bleeding Rhondda, isn't it. You think you're so bloody clever.
	They writhe around on the floor pummelling each other. The foreman comes in.
Foreman	You bloody fighting again. Break it up or I'll put this pick through your head. Now what's it all about?
First Miner	He started it.
Second Miner	Oh, you bleeding pig, you started it.
Foreman	I don't care who bloody started it. What's it about?
Second Miner	Well ... he said the bloody Treaty of Utrecht was 1713.
First Miner	So it bloody is.
Second Miner	No it bloody isn't. It wasn't ratified 'til February 1714.
First Miner	He's bluffing. You're mind's gone, Jenkins. You're rubbish.
Foreman	He's right, Jenkins. It was ratified September 1713. The whole bloody pit knows that. Look in Trevelyan, page 468.
Third Miner	He's thinking of the Treaty of bloody Westphalia.
Second Miner	Are you saying I don't know the difference between the War of the bloody Spanish Succession and the Thirty bloody Years War?
Third Miner	You don't know the difference between the Battle of Borodino and a tiger's bum.

Homily Parishioners, with two Muslim terrorist attacks in the last week in the US, and the most recent just a few miles from my own home I am reminded of the danger we are all in due to the evil wrought by Creepy Joe Biden.  As I watched the local events unfold, all I could think of was what is happening in Europe where there invasion is still ongoing due to foolish and vile actions of left wing governments.  In particular “Lord Starmer” seems determined to run Britain into the ground and hand the government over to the foreign invaders.  Of late as many people in Britain begin to silently speak out by raising the banners of the Union Jack and Cross of St. George as simple symbols of the country they were born in and still live in.  However, Lord Starmer’s response is to decry the actual flag of the United Kingdom and ancient flag of England as “right wing symbols of hate” (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15622931/Flying-Union-Jack-flag-branded-tool-hate-Governments-leaked-social-cohesion-strategy.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=social-twitter_mailonline) in the name of “social cohesion”!   In typical Lard Starmer fashion he has begun having the flags taken down at tax payer expense.  Humorously, the people of Britain have turned to Cross of St George even more due to its simple design and ease of local manufacture.  As it allows them to easily put up flags faster than the government toadies can cut them down. 

Naturally, Lord Starmer has decided that what is really needed is a new government position to combat this “blatant hate campaign”, thus he introduces the office of “anti-Muslim hostility czar” (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/03/06/labour-appoint-anti-muslim-hate-tsar/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_tw_post_appoint-anti-muslim-hate-tsar/).  In the scheme Lord Starmer admits that antisemitism is increasing even more, but for unknown reasons he sees no reason to do anything about that problem.  Unfortunately, Starmer and his “Libtards” fail to note the obvious opposite interpretation in the name of his new office, perhaps when Reform takes over in the next general election they can put this office to a different, yet still titularly appropriate purpose. 

As further evidence of the Brits getting fed up with this entire debacle that the Liberals are foisting on the country, a recent broadcast talk show spoke about the country was being “held hostage by people they allowed into the country” (https://x.com/TalkTV/status/2029971352174637541?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2029971352174637541%7Ctwgr%5Ebbf9c80a521ee3d1779bd440c2a5fd0f76555150%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Fuk-government-brands-union-flag-tool-hate-leaked-social-cohesion-strategy).    I am sure that Lord Starmer’s new “Czar” will take both the show and its station to task for such a blatant “anti-Muslim” sentiment. 

Amen
