A man walking like a chicken, or God moving in a mysterious way?
Certainly after his miraculous election to the leadership of the Labour party, and his consequent appointment as leader of the Opposition, against all the odds, many people are prepared to bow down and worship this mysterious figure that we all associate with times long gone by (the 1960s, mostly).
Still, if indeed Jeremy Corbyn IS God, then that would provide an explanation of his refusal to sing the National Anthem, "God save the Queen". After all, he would only be talking (or singing) to himself. And presumably he already has a fairly good idea whether the Queen is saved.
It's so embarrassing when people sing hymns to you.
For a long time it was thought that God was a middle-aged man who wrote down his promises on stone tablets and ate bacon sandwiches in a mysterious way, but a few months ago this theory was disproved and the search for a supreme being went elsewhere. But really, who believes in the divinity of an old man with a beard in this day and age?
Meanwhile, Pope Francis has made it perfectly clear that he does not believe in the divinity of JC (even though he shares his initials with a *very* famous religious personage indeed). Indeed, in asking Catholics to reduce their Corbyn Footprint, he has made it clear that, wherever Heaven is, it cannot be in Islington.
The Angel, Islington, a challenge to non-believers.
Seen above The Houses of Parliament, today, a very large sign:
ReplyDelete"MAY CONTAIN NUTS".
An unrepentant Marxist in charge of the official opposition with an even more extreme shadow chancellor is not a matter for hilarity, it is a totally unexpected confirmation of Our Lady of Fatima's prophecy about the spread of Communism. These people don't expect to attain democratic approval, they expect to excite a mass movement to take 'direct action' to destabilise and take over the state. It is happening before our eyes.
ReplyDeleteHobson's choice, Lepanto. The "consensus" of Cameronistas, Blairites and the watermelons is equally conducting us to Armageddon via "soft" totalitarianism - only by the scenic route.
DeleteWhereas vilifying the poor and the sick, and letting them die in penury whilst deeming them "fit for work", or driving them to such despair they take their own lives, is the right way to act?
DeleteJeremy Corbyn has more compassion for his fellow man in a single hair of his beard than the foul Conservatives and their supporters have in the whole bluddy lot of them.
Oi, I'm the satirist round here.
DeleteI wondered about the idea of a parallel universe until I read Mr Spirifer. He is surely remote from genuine existence in our universe. Ours contains not only the genuine but the trickster. As for compassion, to separate from one wife might be an accident. two looks like carelessness.
DeleteHa, ha, ha, Zephyrinus! That fact is surely well known. It is now quite some years ago that I made a comment about people thinking that God is a white-haired old man, sitting on a cloud and listening to a lovely Cherub playing on his harp whilst saying "There, there children! All is well! I don't really mean all that stuff about Hell fire and Damnation."
ReplyDelete"who wrote down his promises on stone tablets" OR "who, stoned, wrote on his tablet". Who am we to judge?
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 3 I thought God had a ginger beard. After seeing a pic in a much loved book entitled 'Sooty and the affair at mystery Mansion'. But I digress and I was 3
ReplyDeleteIs Corbyn attended by not Angels but Engels?
ReplyDeleteOn your Marx, get set . . .
DeleteYears ago the now extinct Daily Herald ran a headline quoting the Anglican (of course) Bishop Robinson: GOD IS NOT A DADDY IN THE SKY.
ReplyDeleteA classic strawman if ever I saw one: how many adults, apart from those inclined towards cargo cults, ever thought He was? But that attribution of a particular belief has bedevilled the People of the Book, ever since. "Oh, so you're a Christian/Jew/Muslim? So you believe that there is a God with a big white beard sitting up there on a cloud etc etc etc". It's no good telling them different, they couldn't bear to give up such a cherished opportunity to feel superior to the gullible.
As to Jezza, I wonder. As a backbencher, it was relatively easy for him to remain uncorrupted by power and privilege. But he wouldn't be the first Marxist-Leninist firebrand MP we've seen, who ended up grabbing for the baubles and sucking at the teat of public money while whoring around with the private money-suppliers on the side. Not that I'm naming any names, mind you.
In defence of something (I'm not sure what) Jezza is MP for Islington North. Islington North is not the Liberal paradise that we associate with Islington South. Rather, it is mostly the part of London better known as Holloway. Which is to say it's scruffy, busy, working class and in a fairly rough state. It's a long way from the Angel.
ReplyDeleteAh, so he is not on the side of the Angel? Thanks.
DeleteMore like on the side of the Archway,
DeleteI used to live in Holloway, or rather, the wasteland between Holloway and Camden Town. There was a pub called The Brecknock which was not for the faint-hearted, especially on a Saturday night if they weren't Irish. If Jezza stands for that part of the world, respect!
DeleteNo, I'm not saying he will get corrupted, I'm saying he might, and if so wouldn't be the first. It's the way the British Establishment survives, taming the iconoclasts by letting them in until they have become a part of it.
