Their Cross to Bear

We live in a complicated world, and occasionally a moral problem will arise which even a bit of wog-bashing cannot readily resolve. One such is causing a dilemma for the clean-limbed cadres of the Kent Farage Falange, whose county council is being forced to choose between that great Englishman, Saint George, and that other great Englishman, Baby Jesus. Local patriots have put up flags along the road through one of the villages, and now that Christmas has been with us for a week or two the county council has come over all Health and Safety about the prospect of putting up the festive lights. There seems to be some disagreement as to who is or is not legally permitted to remove the flags but, doubtless mindful of the moral risks involved in offending the stormtroopers' delicate sensibilities, the parish council has meekly requested that they carry out the act themselves. It is to be hoped that Baby Jesus will remember His English heritage sufficiently to show an appropriate degree of gratitude.
