Our Father who art in BRUSSELS.
The Church of England is planning to hold five days prayer
to mark Britain's departure from the EU .
Does the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, know
something we don't? The way things look right now, we're not
going anywhere.
Anti-democratic hardline Remainers are Moving Heaven and
Earth to stop even a weak-as-dish-water
Withdrawal Agreement.
getting through the Commons.
They are determined to prevent us leaving no matter what.
Some of them think they can kill Brexit stone dead, even
without a
SECOND REFERENDUM.
Just as well the Archbishop is on the case. WE might need
divine intervention if we're ever going to
GET OUT OF THE EU
IN ONE PIECE.
Still it got me wondering just what form a special Brexit
service might take.
Welby himself is a committed Remainer, who said recently
that a
NO DEAL BREXIT
would be not only a 'political failure but a moral one.
Will he be able to maintain the necessary neutrality to
bring both sides of our bitterly divided society together?
Let's find out by crossing over live to WEstminster Abbey
where the Archbishop is about to address his congregation.
Here's the
ORDER OF SERVICE
May the Lord be with you. WE shall song Hymn No 94, All
Things Bright And Beautiful, which has been updated by the
General Synod to accommodate all shades of opinion in the
hope that we can reconcile ourselves to whatever fate has in
store for us.
All things bright and
beautiful
And free movement for all
All things wise and
wonderful
The EU made them all.
Each tow'ring butter mountain
Each lake of sparkling wine
Each rule and regulation and gleaming wind turbine
The EU made them all.
All things bright and
beautiful
And free movement for all
All things wise and wonderful
The EU made them all.
They gave us straight bananas
And lots of different cheese
And mass youth unemployment
In Italy and Greece.
All things bright and
beautiful
And free movement for all
They even helped the Germans
Bring down the Berlin
Wall.
They gave us open borders
And everlasting peace
And another million
migrants
From across the Middle
East.
All things bright and
beautiful
And free movement for all
All things wise and
beautiful The EU made them all
They took away our fish
stocks
And gave them all to
Spain
Yet still we want a
People's vote
So we can choose Remain
All things bright and
beautiful
And free movement for
all
What's the EU ever done
for us?
Frankly,
BUGGER ALL.
At this juncture, I had
planned to ask the verger, Mr Umunna, to read some relevant
passages from the Book of Common Fisheries, adapted from St
Peter's original Latin version
. But I am informed
that he has decided to leave our congregation to join a new
independent church
Unfortunately, we are not
able to offer Holy Communion today. It appears that Mr
Farage's prayer group drank all the wine
So please join me in a moment
of silent reflection and don't forget to give generously
when the collection plate comes round. We are hoping to
raise somewhere in the region of
£39 BILLION
to
facilitate a
SMOOTH
BREXIT
And may the Lord have mercy
on your souls
