England's One & Only. By Uncle Monty.

...
Only very early this morning, while going thru my
65 or so e-mails after being away for the past 2½
days up at Lake Windermere, did I learn of the drug
overdose and shocking death of Sebastian Horsley
at age 47, who was England's one & only true
dandy of this our Internet Age.
...
I first met him in 2007 at my Covent Garden Big Issue
pitch when he stopped to buy half-a-dozen copies of
the issue from me. He first checked to be sure he was
included in the short article written about him in
that issue of The Big Issue. He was.
...
What I liked about Sebastian was that we hit it right
off famously from almost the first word go. Although
I didn't know much about him then, I quickly realized
he was an oddball character and a pure English
eccentric of which we have so few left today ...
...
He was deeply concerned about the poor and the
marginalized, even has a man who came from a wealthy
family of which Sebastian Horsley's own father made
pork pies and then amassed huge profits of TWO
BILLION quid all in his own right by selling his
popular pies to Marks & Spencer!!
...
From time to time, he, SH, would stop at my Big
Issue pitch again and we'd have a good right old
chat of whatever topic took our fancy on that day.
He was very kind to me, personally, was Sebastian.
He always ensured to buy his copies of The Big
Issue from me and to add a small "drop," too.
...
And from time to time, Sebastian Horsley would
also hit the news headlines of which one of the
most notable was when he last trotted off to America
to give an invited speech at some literary conference
there. On his arrival, he was quickly frog-marched and
bungled back on the plane by cold U.S. immigration
agents who refused him admission to then George Bush's
America. His “crime” was that he was absurdly different
and the Yanks couldn’t or wouldn't tolerate England’s
one and only true dandy that Sebastion Horsley was. At
that time, I wrote my own story of what happened to hm.
...
When he stopped by again at my Big Issue pitch
about a month or six weeks later after his despicable
American treatment, Sebastian made no mention of it
to me. I didn't ask him about it, since I had already
read all about the whole nasty incident in print and
on the internet with alot of misgivings knowing, like
I do, how Americans can be so philistine and un-
forgiving about certain people and things they
don't like. Such is part of the "deculturalization"
and "mental ignorance" of the American
thought process and closed mindset.
...
Looking back now on the life of Sebastian Horsley,
I must say I feel to a large degree that his life
was wasted and totally self-centred, too. To be
a true dandy, like he was, I think it becomes a
kind of self-destructive lifestyle in its own way.
Don't ask me to explain why, but somehow my
gut feelings say that about Sebastian. His deadly
drug overdose only confirms my sense of his
wasted life and his self-destructive mode. My
only pity is that I wish I could have gotten to
know him better not as a dandy per se, but
rather as a person who was obviously talented
and well-educated. How he decided to become
an English dandy is what I would have really
liked to have known from Sebastian Horsley
himself in his own unique words. But such
is not to be, anymore.
...
In any event, I am glad to have known him
and to have shared our intellect and strong
minds together whenever we met at my Big
Issue pitch that is no more since my ruthless
suspension by Peter Bird of The Big Issue. I'm
pretty certain that had Sebastian Horsley lived
and then became aware of what The Big Issue
was upto concerning me and my pitch, he would
have rallied in open support of me no matter
what other people may badly say of me.
...
RIP, Sebastian! You've left your mark as
England's one and only true dandy that you
most certainly was. They will no longer be
seeing you in those familiar places in Soho
that you so loved and where so many loved
you for being the best dandy of London, too.

Pope Lashes Out at Belgium After Raid on Church.
By Rachel Donadio.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/28/world/europe/28vatican.html
...
What the Belgian police did last week by its outrageous
police raids of the Mechelen homes and offices of the Cardinal,
the Archbishop-Emeritus, the detaining of nine innocent bishops,
and the police desecration of the prelates’ graves at the Cathedral
of Mechelen was, in my Anglican opinion, equivalent to the goose-
step Gestapo raiding the synagogues and condemning the
rabbinical lives of the rabbis. Truly, Uncle Monty.
...
Friend Amy Grant. Not The Famous One!
How The Big Issue Lost 25,000 Quid.
By Uncle Monty. The story is still unfolding
for me. But at the end of the day, the losers
are still without a doubt Peter and John Bird.
...
Vile Peter Bird of The Big Issue.
Finally, The Big Issue has come a cropper itself,
like it has made me, by its own unjustness, spiteful-
ness and malice. The intriguing story of how it just
lost £25,000 shows me how the Good Lord works
in mysterious ways ... The full story will go online
after my upcoming holiday next month to South
Africa at the kind behest of my dear friend
Elizabeth Middleton of Durban. I am looking
forward to visitng Zud Africa again ...
...
The lead photo at the top of the page is that of me
and Myrna Hancocks standing against the backdrop
of the United Masonic Lodge at London's Great
Queen Street. She and her hubby Carl arrived
from Aussieland for their annual visit to London
and Wales on Tuesday and we promptly got to-
gether the next day for a good morning breakfast.
Carl is the one who took the photo of Myrna and me.
...
The past week has been a busy one aside from spending
two days near my pitch in continuing to collect more
petition signatures from friends and customers in my
ongoing public protest against The Big Issue, and
more specifically, against Peter and John Bird.
...
My next article this week - My Protest Sites
Revisited - will give more specific updates to you
all of the current standoff between me and The
Big Issue. There hasn't been a word or any kind
of movement from the folks at The Big Issue,
who seemed to have now dug in completely and
who refuse to acknowledge that I even exist save
for their desire to character assassinate me at
every turn and opportunity they can get.
So, more coming soon ...

My Sentimental Journey. By Uncle Monty.


My Sentimental Journey
Back Home After 50 Years.
By Uncle Monty.
Highbury Photos
By Alex Albion.
~ . ~
Sentimentality always abides with me.
It's in my blood, my bones, my life, and my soul.
And even more so when I recently obtained, after
51 years, my dad’s 1959 British death certificate
that I found as a result of my own five-year
internet search to finally discover at where,
when, and how, he died at age 53. Sadly, I
have not been able to find any kind of image of
him save for what is in my long family memory
of him. I was a mere lad when he suddenly died
from Coronary Atheroma while on his way to
be operated on at London's Prince of Wales'
General Hospital. I was never to see him again!
~ . ~
View of Our Home At Highbury Today.
~ . ~
I learned more personal details about my dad's
life from his death certificate than I ever knew
about him from over 50 years ago since his pre-
mature death on Twenty-Seventh of April, 1959.
I learned what he did for a living. I learned that
he was adopted by the J. T. Montgomrie Family
of Lexington, Kentucky, when he was just over one
year old in 1907. Later he moved to Alberta, Canada,
to stay with my Canadian great grand-parents. When
he was 20, he headed back to Scotland at his home town
of Glasgow. He then joined the Royal Engineers and was
later stationed in the Midlands when he married my
mom, who was of old Welsh Congregationalist stock.
My dad was of Scottish Episcopal stock, but when
he and my mom married in The Church of England
they became proudly Anglican and my brothers and
my sisters and me were then reared in the same faith.
And, not one of them ever married outside our
English faith. Bravo!!!
~ . ~
I also learned that the Coroner Alan P. L. Cogswell
certified my dad's death "after post-mortem without
inquest." I learned, too, from the death certificate,
the old address at where he and my mom and
my seven siblings once lived at 19 Highbury
Grange, London N.5.
~ . ~
Street Sign for Highbury Grange, N.5
~ . ~
So off I went to Highbury Grange. I went
last Saturday to see the place after not seeing
the old homestead from more than 5o years
ago. As I stood outside and surveyed my boy-
hood home, I suddenly could not help myself
from my tears that overflowed with utter sad-
ness at seeing my lost home again. I remember
the place so well and like has if I had only been
there just yesterday instead of five long decades
ago or over half century to be exact. I was in a
state of mourning now and recalled my joy of
living there with my dad, mom, and my five
brothers and two sisters, who have all since
passed away except for my same
age brother in America.
~ . ~
Unkept, shabby, and rotting now was the
Highbury property that my dad bought in 1951
for about 2,000 quid with three floors and
plenty of room for us growing kids back then.
The old Victorian iron gate and fencing was
mostly gone, except for one half of the double
gate still standing. No nice curtains could be seen
at the six big windows unlike I remember as a
young lad who lived there for 8 years of my
life. The place now looked forlorn, dreary, and
disowned. The whole of 19 Highbury Grange was
our's, from the basement to the top third floor,
with 14 large rooms for a lively family that was
also our's. Now with 4 big bedsits, it's just another
London building warehousing today's nameless
and rootless menagerie of shifting "New Agers" and
of non-British folkz that are the product of our cold
culture of greed and impersonal digitial ways.
~ . ~
Only one person I saw entering the old homestead
after sitting on a low brick wall for an hour or so just
across the grange as I gazed at No. 19 of so many
years ago. About in his early 30's, the tough, rough-
looking black guy was unneatly dressed in a tight
black leather jacket and with a black briefcase held
in his left hand has he unlocked the black-painted
front door and quickly slammed it closed. I heard
him slam the door from across the street. His arrival
confirmed the sorrowful scene I saw of my boyhood
home that is now consumed by all that's seen in the
"Broken Britain" of today. Gone forever are the
golden days I remember of England back then.
All we have now are shattered dreams and
daily emptiness and a modern society full of alien,
foreign, and immigrant waste that has even de-
stroyed my Highbury boyhood home forever
and a day ...
~ . ~
Just Around The Corner (shown below) Was My
Aunt Nell's "Louise Villa," Which I Also Visited Alot.
~ . ~
Aunt Nell was posh! Very posh. So much so,
she disowned most of her common relatives like
my family even though we lived just around the
corner from her. Her "Louise Villa" (shown above)
at No. 85 Balfour Road, N.5. was my favourite home
to stay beside my own. She had a soft spot for me,
so I got enticed to visit my Aunt Nell by her,
herself. I loved the Villa, I did. I always hoped
in my boyhood way we could move from No. 19
to No. 85. But it never happened, of course. Old
Aunt Nell suddenly kicked the bucket and after
that I was forbidden from treading foot on No.
85. She didn't leave a penny to her relatives!
I guess they were mad at her both when she
was alive and when she was dead.
~ . ~
In 1959, we had no internet, no laptops, no
cellphones, no mass immigration to our shores,
no New Labour, no rip-off food prices like today,
no gangstra rap or hip-hop, no armed British
bobbies, no "broken society" save for the in-
frastucture bombed by the Nazis; no hideous
multiculturalism and multiracialism that has
been rammed down our throats over the past
decade by our socialist slave masters under vile
Tony Blair; little or no incivility and sheer rude-
ness, no blogs, no mass asylum seekers, no poor
quality education, no mass consumerism, and no
breakdown of our societal norms like we have to-
day all around us in "Broken Britian." There was
a sense of community and belonging back then
and a proud feeling of being British to the core,
while today we're told we're bad and no good
for being the native sons and daughters of the
Union Jack. Sentimentality it may well be,
but for me I will wrap myself around our
English flag and burn the lousey flag of the
European Union (EU) and all the other flags
that aren't British and never will be to me!!
And, I apologize not ...

Queen Victoria In All Her
Splendour at Highbury Barn.
~ . ~
I imagined seeing my good dad again, my
motherly mom waving at me, my beloved bro-
thers pulling my leg, my sisters smothering me
with their wonderful sisterly love, and seeing myself
again as a wild little kid running all over the place
and being ever so cheeky and loud to everybody
who came my way. I was now in an emotional
trance of the past as I thought of them at our old
homestead on Highbury Grange that was now
completely dead and silent of all my family and
of their treasured lives from 50 long years ago.
~ . ~
An elderly lady stopped and asked me if I was
alright. I was. I was just dreaming of things
past of 50 years ago in my life. The lady was
game to talk with me after I enquired of how
long she'd lived at Highbury Grange. "Since the
early 70's," she declared. A little after my time
at Highbury I told her, but she lamented with
me about the decline of the community and the
ever growing stream of people from everywhere
else except from Highbury or England. "It is
so terrible, isn't it?," said the lady in her early
70's with thick red lipstick adoring he elderly,
matron-like, and spinster face as she described
her own personal alienation of the society to
which she was born and bred like me. She told
me that most of the bedsits or small apartments
on the grange started in the mid-70's. "Get rich
and mafia landlords like Rachman started to buy
the cheapest properties they could. Then they
helped to destroy the pulse of Highbury by their
low-class renters and ignorant college clowns,"
she said like she wanted to educate me about
all that had happened since my family left
Highbury soon after my dad's 1959 death.
"If you stop to ask some one a question, the
attitude today is what do you want or what
are you trying to get from me," she stated to
me along with her long indictment of England
today. I was happy to share our thoughts
together and I told her why I was sitting
where I was across from the old homestead.
She empathized with me and seemed so
pleased she'd found someone who felt the
same way as she did at Highbury Grange.
Misery loves company ...
~ . ~
Queen Victoria in all her royal splendour
is still seen thesedays at Highbury Barn.
The barn is at the centre of the community.
The clock tower (seen in the above lead photo)
has been there since marking Victoria's 60th-
Year Reign in 1897 and it was refurbished about
18 years ago with its gold leaf restored. "Her most
gracious majesty" - to quote from the clock tower
plaque - was known to pretty much everybody at
Highbury and long before my family arrived there
in 1951. Back then The Royal Family was adored,
now it's more likely to be Allah! How times in Eng-
land have truly changed for the wicked worst ...
~ . ~
The Arsenal Football Club of Old.
~ . ~
Highbury and Arsenal went together like
peaches and cream for 93 years until the
world-famous English football club moved to the
nearby Emirates Studium in 2006. Founded in
1886, Arsenal or "The Gunners" moved to High-
bury in 1913 and held their first Highbury match
in the same year. My dad was an ardent fan of
all things Arsenal. He was a Gooner!! He took me
and my brothers to almost every match while we
lived at Highbury which as a community first came
into being in 1300. The Romans also settled there,
although such things later like Roman Catholicism
never took hold at Highbury as a strong English
Protestant stronghold. Today, it's a hotchpotch or
hodgepodge of new religions and weird creeds due
to the influx of massive immigration to England
by vile and vicious New Labour.
~ . ~
Thus, the popular song called: "Those were the days
my friend, we never thought they would end ..." really
hits me hard. For not only have those days now come
to an end, but they have been totally and systematic-
ally obliterated from the collective memory of what
was once our quaint and civilized society called
"Great Britain." And, that's also been made dead!!
~ . ~
Be Sure To Stop To Smell The Roses
On Your Sentimental Journey.
~ . ~
Stop to smell the English roses, like I did on my
sentimental journey back home after 50 years.
If we don't smell the roses, we really don't smell
all the life that is all around us. We, otherwise,
live only to eat and eat only to live. That's no
life. And remember to always "smile even
thu your heart is breaking," like mine.
~ . ~
So, deep within the vase of memory
I keep my dust of roses fresh and dear
As in the days before I knew the smart
Of time and death. Nor aught can take from me
The haunting fragrance that still lingers here --
As in a rose-jar, so within my heart.

Wilfred Wong's Public Statement To John Bird.



WILFRED WONG'S OPEN STATEMENT
TO JOHN BIRD OF THE BIG ISSUE.
Photos & Graphic By Alex Albion.
Photo of John Bird & Monty
By Nigel Kershaw, O.B.E.
...
Mr. Bird, Sir:
I am a long time buyer of the Big Issue and I usually
purchase several copies of the Big Issue from different
vendors each week. One of the Big Issue vendors
whom I have been buying the magazine from for about
5 years now, is Monty, whose pitch is located in Covent
Garden at Long Acre outside of Caffé Nero.
...
I was appalled to discover that the management of the
Big Issue had recently deprived Monty of his pitch simply
because of some free, open criticisms of the Big Issue
which he had aired on his internet blog -
thebiggerissue.org.
...
This is a gross over-reaction to Monty's expression of his
(personal) views. Monty is (quite) elderly and in poor health
and it is unconscionable that being in a vulnerable situation he
should be dealt with so ruthlessly by the Big Issue. Such action
causes grave damage to the Big Issue's image of caring
concern for the homeless and the vulnerably housed.
...
Monty has lost his pitch and the Big Issue is losing its reputation
over this matter - this is a Lose-Lose situation. If Monty's health
deteriorates sharply because he has lost his pitch it will become
even more widely known how the Big Issue has mistreated him.
I have observed over the years how popular Monty is with all
his customers and his many friends and I know I'm just one of
many people who want to see Monty restored to
his pitch as soon as possible.
...
I'm also aware of a number of Big Issue vendors who have
broken the rules - for example, selling outdated magazines,
working at pitches which are not theirs, pretending to need the
use of crutches in order to win sympathy and sell more magazines
or selling the magazine without a Big Issue badge - I knew of one
vendor who did this for months (he was a badged vendor but
kept claiming his badge had been lost). Yet none of these
vendors whom I came across were ever penalised by the Big
Issue's staff but they have instead chosen to punish Monty
despite the fact that he did not break any of the rules at his
well-known pitch or badly treat his customers. This is just
gross double standards by the Big Issue's management.
...
Monty's behaviour at his pitch has always been exemplary
and I certainly do not agree with the unsubstantiated claim
that he has brought the Big Issue into disrepute. It is by
depriving Monty of his pitch that the Big Issue is
being brought into disrepute. To many bystanders
like me it appears that the Big Issue is vindictively
penalising an elderly man in poor health simply
because he voiced some open critcisms on the
internet about his personal and business
situation with the Big Issue.
...
But there need not be a long standoff where both sides
lose. I'm aware that Monty is willing to be flexible and
open with you and is willing to try and reach an under-
standing with the Big Issue's management in order to
urgently get his pitch back.
...
I strongly urge the Big Issue's management to either restore
Monty to his pitch with immediate effect or to at least sit down
and talk to him in an attempt to reach a mutual understanding
which enables him to resume selling the Big Issue once again.
Surely a compromise can be reached by both sides which benefits
all the parties and I urge that the good Big Issue's management
deal with this matter in a fair and flexible way rather than in the
vindictive, narrow-minded manner which they have
so far demonstrated.
...
Thank you for your attention and consideration, I look forward
to a positive outcome between Monty and the Big Issue.
...
Yours sincerely, Wilfred Wong.

(END OF STATEMENT)
...
A QUESTION OF SIMPLE FAIRNESS.
By John Lenhart.
...
Hi John & Peter,
Before leaving England to live in the US and since his
return back home, Monty has committed no crimes
at home, is not wanted here by the British police,
and has no criminal record in the UK.
...
While it is now alleged that he committed some re-
prehensible misconduct in the US, it has no bearing,
I believe, on the excellent conduct of Monty in his
native England or his overwhelming popularity as
a top-notch Big Issue sellor for the past 5 years.
...
His only problem has been with some Big Issue
people in his all too many critical web stories re-
garding them. At my request, Monty has now
removed the majority of those offending stories.
I am glad he did. If restored, he will not write any-
thing further about such people, except perhaps
for their good deeds.
...
I checked with the United States Embassy in London
to find out if the Colorado man, who is whacking Monty
over the head, represents the U.S. Government or
any American law enforcement agencies. I was in-
formed he was not a US official. A private US citizen
is all he is. I understand he is also probably barred
from entering the United Kingdom for reasons
not fully-explained to me.
...
You see, this Colorado man has been “divving up”
all the dirt he can find out against Monty. It appears
the Coloradian has had an ongoing and long standing
personal and family vendetta against Monty for 15
years for reasons best known to him. It seems he
has been out to lynch our Monty at every opportune
moment he can find. He sued Monty and finally won
a case against him for compensatory damages after
he had sued Monty previously on 4 or 5 different
occasions without any success in the civil division
of the US Federal Courts. The Colorado man has
filed numerous US lawsuits against those who
have upset him for whatever reasons. There
seems to be something almost "satanic" about
the man who misleads the public by his
self-styled rank of "clergymanship".
...
Known in some internet and Church circles as
a
"fake bishop" and a "notorious and vicious troll",
the man against Monty is alleged to be the 60-year
old adult son of a once disbarred Denver solicitor.
He is also known as a lone online stalker, who under
UK and US anti-stalking laws could find himsef
jailed for his long record of criminal stalking from
his home. He spends an average of 10 hours per
day doing what he does. And, Monty's civil and
human rights has been consistently violated
and abused by this fake bishop in Colorado
over many years.
...
The point of mentioning this American "fake bishop"
is that whatever he truly says Monty did back in the
US, should not be allowed to destroy whatever Monty
has achieved from scratch at his Big Issue pitch or his
relationship with his many customers and friends that
has proved good for him and Big Issue. He hasn't
committed murder, has he? Obviously, not!
...
I have read all the fake bishop says about
Monty,
but my own personal opinion is that he is a chum of
mine and my American partner. We will and do stand
up for our Monty despite the horrors given by the re-
vengeful Colorado man. We don’t know him. We only
know Monty and what we know about Monty is
nothing but good. He has done no harm to his
community or his pitch. Many people swear
by him like we do.
...
John and Peter, we ask that you give a second
thought to quickly restoring Monty and to heal
whatever wounds have come from his untoward
suspension.
...
We strongly support all that Big Issue has done for the
homeless and even for what it has done for Monty and
aside from his recent suspension that brings no good
to anybody, except perhaps for the crazy man in the
US state of Colorado. My partner is from there. We
buy Big Issue without failure to help the homeless
person who sells at his or her pitch. We think by this
way we also help the work of Big Issue to improve
the lives of those not so lucky like my partner and I.
...
The good that Big Issue brings must also now been
seen in forgiving Monty and his ungrateful reactions in
the past. He is strong willed, we all agree. But he now
agrees to put behind him any criticism and malice he
has shown on his blog with almost 1,000 daily hits.
...
In all, it boils down to a simple question of fairness.
The American fake bishop is blinded by his apparent
vendetta against Monty. Big Issue should then stand
up for Monty, if not publicly, at least by tacit actions
to continue to help him. Remember please the elderly
man that Monty is has committed no crimes whatso-
ever here at home and has no criminal record in the
UK. That’s what is more important we think than
whatever happened with Monty in the US. Give
him another try, please John and Peter.

WHICH MONTY? By Anne Hodges.
.
Monty, dear ...
There is a great deal of consternation about you.
I have read that your identical twin brother called
Montmorency has been confused with you called
Montgomery. I'm at a loss to know who is who
and what is what. Which Monty did what? Most
people who know you at my office don't know
what is behind the reason(s) for your sudden
suspension from your Cafe Nero spot. They know
you've gone missing above anything else. I'm so
confused by it all like them. You are so
missed and even loved.
.
Reading what I have of the bad things that
took place in America, I figure your twin could
have used your Christian name to blame you
for his own problems or you could blame him
for your's. Two "Montys" with identical back-
grounds adds enough confusion to wonder who
or what to believe or disbelieve. Myself, I really
don't care what happened to either of you in the
states. As long as you behave like you have for
years in Covent Garden, then one bad Monty
or the other is of no concern to me. My law
office colleagues mostly agree with me.
.
The Big Issue and you must resolve this
matter between you so that you can continue
to serve your buyers and the many friends you
have made around here. You are the talk of the
town, mostly good with some bad. Many miss
you badly. I certainly do.
.
My colleagues may like to sign a group letter or
a collective petition to The Big Issue Foundation,
if you think that might help to bring you back to
Cafe Nero? Let me know Monty, dear.
.
This matter is so sad. It should never have hap-
pened. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope to
see you sitting out there again to greet one and all
with your wonderful manner and Full-Monty
personality. Come back soon, really soon ...

Picturing The Rite. By Alex Albion.




Picturing The Rite of Installation.
Pictorial Essay By Alex Albion.
- + -
For this short blog story on the religious Rite of
Installation, or the enthronement of an archbishop,
I have for the most part left it to the pictures to tell
you the story more pictorially rather than just by
written words. Thus, you’ll see here about 10 im-
ages of before, during, and after the Episcopal Rite.
- + -
The British prelate - The Most Rev’d Peter David
Smith - was installed June 10th, 2010, at St. George’s
Cathedral as the new archbishop of London’s Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. He was formerly
the Metropolitan Archbishop of Cardiff in Wales.
He holds a Doctorate in Canon Law, too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Smith_(archbishop)
- + -
Almost the entire Catholic hierarchy of England and
Wales participated in the Rite of Installation that saw
more than 38 other archbishops and bishops present
and His Eminence, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-
O’Connor, the archbishop-emeritus of Westminister.
Moreover, 180 priests, monsignors, deacons and
seminarians, were also present along with the more
than 3,000 laity and civic leaders in attendance.
- + -
As recognised Ecumenical Representatives, Anglican
bishops - including The Bishop of Woolwich, The Rt.
Rev'd Christopher Chessun - Orthodox patriarchs,
and other important interfaith leaders also attended
the two-hour Roman service and Catholic litany.
All those present, including your’s truly, attended
The Rite of Installation and the great reception
afterwards by invitiation only.
- + -
Incidentally, I took around 400 images of the ex-
extraordinary ecclesiastic gathering that is a rather
rare English religious sight to see let alone to actually
attend such as a known and avid Anglican myself.
Here then is my short pictorial essay ...

(Anglican) Vicar 'married hundreds in fraudulent
Sham UK Weddings & Marriages. By Uncle Monty.
I have already written about such sham weddings
and marriages in one of my stories of two years ago
entitles - "Yet, Another UK Immigrant Wedding."
http://thebiggerissueorg.blogspot.com/2008/08/overland-to-upper-volta-by-uncle-monty.html -
...
Such have been taking place all over the UK for the
past decade or so due to the mass immigration agenda of
Broken New Labour that deliberately flooded the country
with millions of immigrants primarily from almost
every country in Africa.
.
Bogus marriages and weddings enable such immigrants
to obtain permanent leave to stay in the UK, even when
they have already violated their original immigration status.
During New Labour's hideous and vile 13 year tenure in
office, the UK Border Agency became heavily riddled
with employees who were either of immigrant African
or foreign stock or whites that were pro-immigration
and pro-Labour.
Thus, new immigrants and recent foreigners were
given much leeway and favoured to stay on and then
obtain British citizenship that the overwhelming
majority should never have been allowed to obtain in
the first place. Under truly evil Tony Blair, over 800,000
British passports were issued to immigrant Africans at
the drop of his socialist hat. He was the prime mover
and instigator, while using his underhanded and con-
cealed treachery, to turn Britain into a now ghettoized
and foreignize country that will never fully recover
because of the political shenanigans of such socialist
bastards like Blair, Brown, Straw, Hoon, Hodge,
Harman, Miliband, Woolas, Ball, Mandelson and all
the rest of the wretched New Labour gangsters.
.
The hope that the new British Con-Lib
Government will tighten up on immigration is not
enough. There needs to be an absolute moratorium
on any further immigration to the UK from Africa
and the world and from the European Union
(EU) - period.
...
Plus, foreign Muslims must also be completely
disbarred from entering and settling in the British
Isles without further ado. The new coalition govern-
ment must also revamp and enlarge the process of
high-speed deportation for all criminal immigrants,
foreigners, and overseas bogus college students to
the UK without any further hesitation or prolonged
discussion. Marriages and weddings should not be
allowed to take place for non-British citizens on
a visa or temporary immigration status.
Marrying in the UK by such persons should not
entitle them, anyway, to stay permanently in
Britain simply by having married either by
bogus or non-bogus means.
.
Whenever I look outside of my second floor
window thesedays in Londonistan, the
crowded streets also look like I'm now living
in horrible Zimbabwe or in deadend Zululand
instead of the England I once loved and once
knew until New Labour robbed millions of
Brits like me of our country and against our
free consent and will. If Labour should ever
get back in again, all we can count on is their
renewed agenda of further mass immigration
to kill Britain off then completely ... That's
what they'll do given another chance to gov-
ern this country to death!! Broken Britain
will then become even more broken than it
already is and will be shattered even further
under another diasterous term of the ignorant
and leftist loonies of the British Labour Party.

UK IS SIMPLY TO PUT A STOP IT
