Right now, I'm still on the campaign road with

the British National Party (BNP) for its "Days of

Action" at London's Becontree in the poor Borough

of Barking & Dagenham that aims to bring about the

unseating of New Labour's Member of Parliament

Margaret Hodge by electing BNP Leader Nick Griffin at

her hopeful demise and loss on May 6th. He is already

a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) is Nick

Griffin. If elected at this 2010 General Election that is

now underway, he would then become the first BNP

candidate to ever be elected to the glittering prize

of a parliamentary seat inside the

British House of Commons.

BNP Campaign Truck In Full Swing!

A glorious day of bright sunshine greeted all the

BNP supporters and canvassers as Nick Griffin

himself arrived looking all fresh and bright with his

nice wife Jackie at his campaign side. They stood to-

gether for group photo ops with party officials and

members (shown below) at Becontree's Parsloes

Park at where today's robust campaign events

all began by-midday.

I also did something for the first time in my life today
by going canvassing door-to-door with BNP ardent
members Richard from Guildford and Chris from
Enfield as we knocked on doors, met the local folkz,
and delivered campaign literature to perhaps 200+
homes at Dagenham's Cornworthy and Lilliechurch
Roads. I was about to gain some new insight into the
English political process that I had not hitherto
experienced before. Richard and Chris were just
superb guyz well worth encountering for the first
time. Richard was a car salesman until made
redundent. While Chris now works at parking
enforcement. They have known each other for 30
years since they were in their teens, so I learned.

BNP London Rep Richard Barnbrook

At The "Days of Action" Today.

***

Aside from all the political hoopla attendent in all election

campaigns, the real Nitty-gritty is going from door-to-door

to canvass for the votes of the electorate. Such soon brings the

canvasser right down to earth as various reactions come from

those voters ranging from outright rejection and contempt

of the BNP to those who almost jump for sheer joy at the

arrival of BNP canvassers at the own front door.

***
I wanted to canvass so that I could write about the BNP from

the street and neighbourhhood level and away from all the

negative media frenzy that always seems to accompany the

BNP no matter what. Thanks to Richard and Chris, I was able

to experience upfront for the first time what goes into street
canvassing and knocking on cold doors. It wasn’t, of course, all

sunshine and a bed of roses by far, which I soon found out at

getting one door unceremoniously and quickly slammed in

my face and being told more or less to "fuck offffffffffffff."

Such then is also a good hands-on "Reality Check" for any

political party no matter its particular persuasion, colourful

idealogy and/or set stripe. So after no more than nine or

ten doors I had knocked, I soon found angry people

who offered no greeting or welcome at their door.
***
After canvassing at Deganham for a couple of hours with

Richard and Chris, I put together a rough picture of what I

saw and heard from the residents there at Cornworthy

and Lillechurch Road. Here's what I roughly found:

Six or seven said they would definitely vote BNP and of that
four said that had previously voted for the party. Sixteen or

so said they had not made up their minds on who they would

vote for. In other words, they were clearly undecided voters.
Ten or so stated that were "considering" voting for the BNP,

but had not yet firmly committed to do so on voting day.
Twelve or so said they would definately NOT vote for the BNP.
Another ten or so said they were undecided who they would

vote for no matter what party canvassed them. Of all the

doors I knocked – about fifty of them – I found them to be
primarily blue collar or middle class white home owners.
At three doors, I saw black or immigrant tenants who then

seemed to cringe at seeing the BNP right on their doorstep

or instantly shied away completely from even muttering

a word on opening the door or as they looked thru their

windows at me or Richard or Chris.

***
Elderly white women at Barking seemed more favourable to

vote for the BNP from what I saw and heard. And, young

working class white guyz - age twentysomething - seemed

even more favourable than those elderly womenfolk. I was

surprised, however, at the number of English male retirees

who seemed to be rather unsettled or ambivalent toward the

BNP, despite living in the heart of anti-immigration Barking

and Dagenham. Whatever, my picture here is only a very

rough one and is in no way intended to be a formal or acad-

emic poll nor to give a full and true picture that represents

the BNP voter profile. Anybody who says otherwise, is

clearly stupid and dishonest - frankly!

***

All of what I found as I went door-to-door at Barking

& Dagenham was to realise that the centrepiece of the

steady rise of the BNP in the UK stems from the street

I actually canvassed. And the political growth of the BNP

is due to New Labour's continuing treacherous mass

immigration agenda that has now seen the creation

of a multiethnic, multicultural and multiracial pigsty

and rat hole all across our once so pleasant and

deeply historic kingdom of Great Britain.

After stringing us all along for all too long, New

Labour's Gordon Brown finally called the British

General Election for May 6th, 2010. The formal

"Dissolution of Parliament" by the Queen of England

will come about on Monday, April 12th, 2010.

***

And ever since it gained power in 1997, New Labour's

non-stop propensity to pass thousands of new criminal

laws to help criminalise the British People was seen yet

again today by its rushed passing of The Digital Economy

Bill - MPs pass Digital Economy Bill - Telegraph -

before Labour is forced to abandon any more of its

outrageous law making led by such ilk as the leftist

radical and deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman

before parliament is dissolved in four days time.

Hopefully, the passing of such a "gangster-like"

bill will now result in the loss of thousands upon

thousands of more votes against New Labour's

attempt to gain an unprecedented fourth term

in office in the UK.

***

Between now and Election Day, I shall offer my own

independent stories, commentary, and opinions on the

situation surrounding the news events and the prime

political party personalities and electoral isssues

leading upto voting day inside "Broken Britain."

Not in any particular chronological order, I list

herein the story titles that I hope to present, with-

out fear or favour, to my world blog readership

on the British General Election.

D - Breaking New Labour's Red Stranglehold on

E - Sitting As An Observer In The Polling Station

My election stories then will start quite soon.

Please lookout for them! Hope, too, to have your

candid and honest feedback on this election that

will impact the future of "Broken Britain" either

for better or for worse as a nation. At no time will

I tell you, my reader, who you should vote for.

That's upto the individual no matter what, al-

though I will urge that you vote. Not voting is

a vote lost. Your vote could be the vote that

changes political history even though you will

not know! Also note here, that I will

NOT publicly endorse any party.

So see ya then, Uncle Monty.

Ideal Home Show or Glorified Street Market? By Uncle Monty.

Ideal Home Show or Glorified Street Market?

By Uncle Monty.

IHS Photos By Alex Albion.
---
Sixteen past continuous days has now seen the 2010

Ideal Home Show at London’s Earl Court come finally

to a close today, on this Easter Monday.
---

At tickets priced from £11.00 and up, more than 250,000

paying folkz have now visited the biggest home show in

the UK. I was there, too. It was also the 102nd show to

date. It was my first visit to such a show and it’ll

most certainly be my last!
---
Inside The UK's 2010 Ideal Home Show.

---
Elbow to elbow at times, the crowd inside the fancy show was like

cattle being driven by prodding cattle ranchers from one display
to another or from one hawker to another or from one booth to

another. The visual and mental overload of trying to take in all

the stuff on sale or on display was too much. One just had to

block out alot of it just to absorb what was sensible to one’s

attention span and level of absorption.

---

Ideal Beauty! Yes, my dear!

---
For rubberneckers and those into seeing lots of

nice womenfolk at the show, it was fun for sure for

guyz like me. But other than that, I began to wonder if

the Ideal Home Show was really little more than a London

glorified street market - like Petticoat Lane, Portobello

Road or East Street - at where crowds pack the place and

every kind of market vendor is trying to flog something

to you to buy.
---

What The Hell Are You Laughing At?

---
Take a step in whatever direction one wanted to go at

the show and there you’d see another "parrot" demand-

ing one’s attention or your money to buy their fancy crap
that was grossly over priced and of little use, I suspect,

to anybody once they got it home after the show.
---
A good example of that was on the second level of the 2010 Ideal

Home Show that saw one smartass, in his early 20’s and thin as a

bone, doing his demo to sell $400.00 food blenders that shouldn’t

have been more than 100 quid at most. Pulling every trick in the

book and talking faster than a ferret, the bloke was a master of

sales tricks and practiced deceit that saw some stupid people

actually fall for his con and paying out their 400 quid like
mesmerized zombies.

---

I watch him at work standing almost at the back of him
and saw the tricks he pulled that those at the front could

not see him do. He would drop one thing in a bucket and

then produce it like a miracle all dry and nice from a

hidden shelve as if it was the same blender he's just

showed. “To be honest with you, I wouldn’t lie to you,”

he repeatedly said bare face as he lied without a wince

on his cunning face. “So good is this product, we give you

a 5 year guarantee with our seal of approval," he declared

knowing probably that few, if any such buyers,

would ever come back before the 5 years was up.
---
It's My First Bath With My Clothes Still On!

---
The more I explored the 2010 Ideal Home Show, the

more I was convinced it was little more than a glorified

street market except for having to pay an entrence fee

to get inside.
---

"Can I Help?," She Asked.

"Most Certainly You Can," I Replied!

---

If your taste and wallet is into expensive ocean water

things like yachts and luxury boats, then Sunseeker

Boats at the Ideal Home Show may be just the thing for

you starting at around £700,000 (or $1.2 million) for a

pretty seaworthy thing that does absolutely nothing for

me personally. Last year, I went yacht sailing with some

of Contessa Maria’s well-to-do friends in Italy and I

enjoyed it thoroughly. But my desire to own such is the

last thing I’d want or any kind of boat ownership. Even

when I saw upfront Mircosoft’s Bill Gates at New Orleans

with his fancy $6 million yacht or big boat fitted with heli-

copter landing pads, I was unimpresed by it. Whatever,

even seeing such luxury boats for sale at London's Earl

Court, I still felt the whole 5-6 hour experience there

was more like a glorified street market than a so-

called home show ...
---

Show Yellow, Too!

---
Ah, I agree that most street markets don't have

bomb-sniffing dogs running about like I saw at

London's 2010 Ideal Home Show. Yes, I also agree

that at regular street markets it would be nigh

impossible to find a £700,000 new boat for sale.

But once you forget those exceptions, the show I

saw was little more than a glorified street market.
So there we are ...

Happy Easter, I say again, Uncle Monty.

The Killing of Eugène Terre'Blanche In

Black South Africa. By Uncle Monty.

.

More 3,000 white South Africans have been

killed or murdered by native blacks since Nelson

Mandela become the country's first black president.

.

So the killing of the white, right-wing, Afrikaner leader

Eugène Terre'Blanche, 69, inside his own home by two local

blacks two days ago, has now sparked real fears of renewed

and open racial strife inside Black South Africa. He was the

leader of The AWB (Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging or

Afrikaner Resistance Movement.) He called and wanted

for a white homeland for those whites under constant

threat of crime and violence from South Africa's mass of

blacks who have not fared well even under the hope and

promise of the black-controlled goverment at Pretoria

after the end of apartheid.
.

With just weeks away from the World Cup 2010, South

Africa cannot afford to have further violence of any kind

that seems to be the hallmark of modern South Africa

in which more than 600 cops have been killed of late.

.

Eugène Terre'Blanche's vicious killing took place at his

white farm over what reports say was a wage dispute

with two of his blacks workers, with one only 16 years

of age, who literally hacked him to death inside his

bedroom at where he was asleep. The farm is not

terribly far from the crime-ridden and dangerous

street of Johannesburg at where I myself was robbed

in broad daylight by five criminal blacks who accosted

me on Brea Street and robbed me blind and then threw

me on the sidewalk like I was a rag doll. I had only been

in Joburg less than 4 hours! The South African Police

Service (SAP) was of no help in finding and prosecuting

such brazen street robbers who did their thing right in

front of hundreds of people watching the crime take place

and did nothing to help me because I suspect I was white

and a visiting tourist. Joburg - called South Africa's New

York - is far more deadly than even New York at its worst.

.

So fearful of possible revenge by friends and loyalists

of Eugène Terre'Blanche, the wretched Jacob Zuma, the

latest black South African president, was quick to go on

TV to express his public condolence to The Terre'Blanche

Family and described the killing as "cowardly." Of the

close to 44 million blacks in South Africa, 8 million are

of white Afrikaner stock or simply called "Boers."

.

If the aftermath of the nasty killing of Eugène

Terre'Blanche isn't handled by the Zuma Government

with grave care, then the whole racial aspect of the case

could soon convulse into open street warfare and pro-

tracted revenge that would damage South Africa's

already battered black image in the world.

Archbishop Rowan Douglas Williams of Canterbury.

Your Grace, Please Shut Your Gob!

By Uncle Monty.

...

It is totally bizarre, it seems to me, for an Archbishop
of Canterbury like Rowan Douglas Williams to publicly
condemn leaders of another church. Privately condemn

the sins of child sex abuse most certainly yes, but publicly
love the sinners of such and urge their repentance without

further ado no matter if they are Catholic or Protestant
or something in between.

.
When His Anglican Grace later called to apologise to the

Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, for his inappropriate

outburst, had I been His Catholic Eminence I would have

refused to accept the call from Lambeth Palace and

publicly told His Grace to go to living hell.

.
As a devout Anglican, I was embarrassed by my own
archbishop for his public condemnation at Holy Week.

His religious timing, too, couldn't have been timed any

worse. When Rowan Williams, England's publicity-mad

primate, declared the Irish Catholic Church had

"no credibility" based on its handling of the sex and

physical child abuse scandal rocking Ireland's church

leaders, I think he did it for religious sensationalism that

makes him now look rather pathetic it seems to me.

.

Whatever, it also seems to me that Rowan Williams is

doing the very opposite of what we would expect of a

national Church leader. That is he should "privately

condemn." And if need be, "publicly praise." Not the

other way around at where he has publicly condemned

and has now done grave harm to those seeking to

rectify things in Catholic Eire. I have already written

on the subject of Ireland's past clerical child abuse:

LETTERFRACK: The Irish Gulag -

.

Rowan Williams on The Irish Church.

All I can say at this stage to him is

"Your Grace, Please Shut Your Gob!"

Gordon Brown, New Labour's No. 1 Jackass.

"I'm A Good Samaritan," So He Says.

By Uncle Monty.

.

Tomorrow, April 6th, 2010, is believed to be the day

when New Labour's oddball leader Gordon Brown will

call upon the Queen to formally "Dissolve Parliament" for

the start of the 2010 British General Election that is be-

lieved to be finally set for May 6th. After stringing us all

along for far too long, Jackass Brown will then reveal his

political cards and off we then go to decide if New Labour

will be elected to yet another hideous five-year term of

their socialistic and communistic agenda over the

unhappy British White People.

.

A few days ago, mind you, “Gordon Brown hails

Christianity 'the conscience of our country'... and

claims (New) Labour is 'the Good Samaritan’,”
reports James Chapman.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1263057/Gordon-Brown-hails-Christianity-conscience-country--claims-Labour-Good-Samaritan.html#ixzz0k10Ww6Cs
.

My story "No Good Samaritan For Us" will tell of how

New Labour as only been a 'Good Samaritan' to every-

body but the true white English people over the past 12

years or so of its ignoble, abusive, and treacherous policies,

laws, and agendas. Such have now almost destroyed the

very core of everything that was once good and wholesome

of being British before the rise of the socialistic humanists

and leftist loonies that now dominate dreadful New Labour.

.

To call himself "The Good Samaritan" is truly sick when

his party has been the most anti-Christain and anti-faith

government to date while "brown-nosing" to every Muslim

now supporting the pro-Islam British Labour Party of which

jackass Brown supports just like does his vile buddy Anthony

Blair, who is to campaign again to get New Labour, he hopes,

re-elected for a fourth destructive term in office.

More soon about Brown the "Good Samaritan."

They've No Love For Islam! By Uncle Monty.

They've No Love For Islam!
By Uncle Monty.
Signature Photos & Graphics

By Alex Albion.

*

Appointing the first ethnic member of the British

National Party Rajinder Singh to the immediate task

of gathering evidence of the degree of the Islamification

of Britain, BNP chairman Nick Griffin then sent his

Special Easter Message of yesterday - Good Friday -

that was remarkable for its religiosity and almost

devoid of his usual harsh BNP speak! In fact, his

message was closer to the issue of the Identity

Church Movement than political parochiality.
*
"A special event that happened recently has changed

my outlook on our struggle and the situation facing our

sacred country," begins Nick Griffin in his Special

Easter Message. "That event was the peaceful, sensible,

mature debate with the Christian Party leader George

Hargreaves and a large number of Christian Party members.

I thoroughly enjoyed the entire debate which was noticeably

absent of the usual hysterical fanaticism of the liberal-left."

*
"It made me think long and hard about a new dimension

of our struggle: our Christian religion, culture and traditions.

In the past too much emphasis has been placed on the ethnic

aspect of our present national dilemma, whilst the longest

running feature of our identity has been overlooked: the

fact that our country has been held together and guided for

millennia by our common, ancient religion: Christianity."

*
Nick Griffin then states further:

"And before you misunderstand me, I do not mean the

gut-wrenching politically correct quasi-Marxist nonsense

spewing forth from the treacherous leaders of the modern

Anglican Church. I mean the traditional, upright, decent and

honest Christianity that defended Europe from Islamic con-

quest, the Christianity of the Crusades and the Christianity

of our forefathers."

*
"There is nothing in traditional Christianity about world

government, abolishing the nations, enslaving the world to

finance capitalism and big business, eradicating traditional

unique cultures and national identities, the promotion of

sexual perversion, the glorification of treason, letting

criminals run rampant and political correctness. No,

the Christianity of our forefathers was about honesty,

family, patriotism, sacrifice, loyalty, king and country.

For over 1,000 years Christianity held our people to-

gether and guided us through the centuries. If

Christianity had not existed Europe would have

been conquered by Islam centuries ago," stated

the leader of the BNP without any hestitation.

*
"I made the irrefutable point during the debate with the

Christian Party that the British National Party is the only

political organisation in Britain that wants to keep this

country fundamentally Christian, with Christian values,

traditions and culture. Every other political party would

happily allow Islam to engulf our Christian homeland."

*
"After the General Election, all BNP leaflets will carry a

Christian Cross to demonstrate our commitment to main-

taining and preserving our Christian heritage as a nation,"

informed Nick Griffin. "Politically correct scoundrels like

Rowan Williams (the current Archbishop of Canterbury)

will cry fowl, but we have nothing to be ashamed of as we

are the defenders of Britain's Christian heritage, just

like our Crusader ancestors in the Middle Ages."

*
Concluding his Easter Message, the BNP chairman declared:

"So this weekend enjoy the Christian festival of Easter with

pride and remember the War Heroes that fell in the many

wars to defend our homeland. Be proud of your British,

Christian identity and reject the false guilt and self-loathing

of the liberal-left political class. The darkest hour is just before

the dawn, but be of good cheer for Christ Our Lord is risen!"

Whatever folkz may think of Nick Griffin's Easter

Message, one thing is clear. Both him and BNP's

first ethnic member Rajinder Singh have one

thing in common despite whatever differences

they may have in their social, religious and racial

backgrounds - "They've No Love For Islam!" Nor

does my 1988 old Kentucky friend John Lenhart,

who presents herein the next report of yet again

more Muslim provocations in Europe and this time

in Espana at the renowned Mezquita Catedral

Córdoba on Holy Wendesday, 2010.

+

Spain's Guardia Civil Called To Córdoba Cathedral.

Menacing Muslims Create Cathedral Strife.

Edited By John Lenhart.
+
The Bishop will not allow Islamic prayer in the building.

There were disturbances outside the Córdoba Mosque on

(Holy) Wednesday when a group of 100 (Austrian) Muslims

arrived to pray together. Although still referred to as the

"Mosque," the building is now the city’s Cathedral, and in

2006 the Bishop of Córdoba rejected a request from the

Islamic community to allow Islamic prayer inside.

+

There were scuffles as the 100 people entered using tourist

tickets, and then organized themselves ‘by walkie-talkie’.

Wednesday night’s attempts to pray by the Muslim group

coincided with the passage of one of the Roman Catholic

processions, and in scuffles two arrests were made, for the

making of threats in one case, and attempted homicide in

another, as one security guard and a policeman were injured

in the clashes. The security guard then called the Guardia

Civil (National Police) to the scene.

+

The Bishop of Córodba, Monseñor Asenjo, has said allowing

Islamic worship in the Mosque would ‘generate confusion’

and lead to ‘religious indifference’. The Bishop went on to

say the Christian roots in Córdoba deserve to be respected,

and under these, the Catholics can live in peace with the

believers of other faiths. He said that Wednesday’s

events were a ‘calculated manoeuvre’.

The Big Issue's John Duffy.

Coming soon ... "John Duffy:

Re-Inventing Homeless Folkz."

By Uncle Monty.

.

Streetwise and sometimes stern, John Duffy doesn't

mince his words when it comes to the issues of home-

lessness. Ex-homeless and an ex-Big Issue vendor,

John Duffy was drafted by co-founder John Bird to be

his International Business Representative until he, Duffy,

later headed to Ramsgate as a vendor coordinator and

then onto Scotland's Big Issue in Glasgow a couple of

years ago, which he came to hate and has now quit

from there since Christmas to now obtain The Big

Issue franchise for Surrey that borders Greater

London.

.

By sheer chance we bumped into each other

at early yesterday morning at Covent Garden.

Although John and I have had our sharp differences,

I was pleased we came eye-to-eye at our impromptu

street chat that has improved, I think, our personal

opinion of each other for the better. As a result of that,

my story will tell of what John Duffy really wants to

do - he seeks somehow on "re-inventing homeless

folkz." More about that, too, in my planned story

on Big Issue's John Duffy before Graham Walker's

two-part series appears called "Dead Bird Walking."

Such is a devastating critique by Graham Walker

of Big Issue's editor-in-chief John Bird. I have now

edited Graham's articles for online publication. He

is also known as "The Big Issue Man" is former

HAPPY EASTER, EVERYBODY!!

Faithfully, Uncle Monty.

+Vigil of Easter, 2010.

...

Does Anybody Know These Folkz? Yep!

Lead Photo shows (L-R) Alexei Sarosky from

Russia, Tara Haro from Japan, and Jan Mol from

The Netherlands. Alexei, Tara, and Jan are quite

famous in their own countries! They came to visit

me again at my Big Issue pitch and we had a nice

time enjoying each other's company on Good Friday

afternoon like we have before on other fun occasions.

.

Alexei heads next to America, Tara to Honolulu, and

Jan to his next ambassadorship at Pakistan's capital

of Islamabad. I myself head next month, by invitation,

to Mother Russia's all-important Victory Day Parade at

Moscow's Red Square. And then, by the Trans-Siberian

Railway to the Czar's Imperial Capital of St. Petersburg.

So, we're all going on our various ways, but I am sure

we will all meet again along the highways and byways

of life ... That's if the good Lord is willing.

Cheerz, Uncle Monty.

+Holy Saturday, 2010.

Maundy Thursday For

Confessing Anglicans.

By C. F. Fry.

Maundy Notes & Editing

By Uncle Monty.
~
Triduum Sacrum - (Lat. The Sacred Three Days) -
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.
~

"Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter

Sunday, observed by Anglicans in commemoration

of Christ's Last Supper."

~

"The name Maundy is derived from mandatum (Lat.

'commandment'), the first word of an anthem sung in the

liturgical ceremony on that day. In Roman Catholic, and

many Protestant churches, The Eucharist is celebrated

in an evening liturgy that includes Holy Communion."

~

"During the Catholic liturgy, the ceremony of the washing of

the feet, or pedilavium, is performed: the celebrant – a bishop

or a priest - washes the feet of 12 people to commemorate

Christ's washing of his disciples' feet. In England, a custom

survives of giving alms ("royal maundy money") to the poor;

this recalls an earlier practice in which the sovereign washed

the feet of the poor on Maundy Thursday. In most European

countries, the day is known as Holy Thursday."

~
"Maundy Thursday is of religious importance to (confessing)

Anglicans, along with Lutherans, Methodists, Baptists,

Church of the Brethren and Catholics."

~

"As the (vigil) and eve of the institution of the Lord's Supper,

Maundy Thursday has been kept by devout Christians from

earliest times. By the 4th century it was a feast of The

Jerusalem Church, and in the 6th century in Gaul it was

observed as Natalis Calicis ('Birthday of the Chalice')."

In medevial Britain, it was known as Chare Thursday

(from the scrubbing of the altar) and in Germany as Green

Thursday (Grundonnerstag, either from the green

vestments then worn or from grunen, "to mourn")."

~

"The day is (also) associated with Tenebrae, a ceremony

of extinguishing the altar candles in preparation for Good

Friday. (Such is) observed in the Holy Catholic Church.

Maundy Thursday ceremonies appear in Anglican,

Orthodox, Congregational, Lutheran and Reformed

Episcopal, liturgical calendars and is almost universally

celebrated with (the rites) of the Lord's Supper."
~

The Lamb triumphant!

~
Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne.

Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own.

Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail

him as thy matchless King through all eternity.

~

Crown him the virgin's Son, the God incarnate born, whose

arm those crimson trophies won which now His brow adorn;

fruit of the mystic rose, as of that rose the stem; the root

whence mercy ever flows, the Babe of Bethlehem.

~

Crown him the Son of God, before the worlds began, and ye

who tread where he hath trod, crown him the Son of Man; who

every grief hath known that wrings the human breast, and

takes and bears them for His own, that all in him may rest.

~

Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed over the grave,

and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save.

His glories now we sing, who died, and rose on high, who

died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.

~

Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways

from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and

praise his reign shall know no end, and round his piercèd feet

fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.

~

Crown him the Lord of love, behold his hands and side,

those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. No

angel in the sky can fully bear that sight, but downward

bends his burning eyeat mysteries so bright.

~

Crown him the Lord of Heaven, enthroned in worlds above,

crown him the King to whom is given the wondrous name

of Love.

~

Crown him with many crowns, as thrones before him fall;

Crown him, ye kings, with many crowns, for he is King of all.

~

Crown him the Lord of lords, who over all doth reign, who

once on earth, the incarnate Word, for ransomed sinners slain,

now lives in realms of light, where saints with angels sing their

songs before him day and night,their God, Redeemer, King.

~

Crown him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time, Creator

of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime. all hail, Redeemer,

hail! For thou has died for me; thy praise and glory

shall not fail throughout eternity.

Maundy Notes By Uncle Monty.

~

As a Confessing Anglican, Maundy Thursday has

always been important to me since becoming an

adult Christain. It is part of my faith and part of

the "sacred three days" that binds Holy Week each

year with those significant religious dates in the

Anglican Church's yearly calendar.

~

What is also special about Maundy Thursday is the

fact the our reigning monarch presents royal maundy

money each year to worthy British pensioners.

In 2008, the Queen for the first time presented such

maundy money at the Church of Ireland as seen in the

above lead photo of Her Majesty and Prince Philip.

~

And while talking of the Anglican Church of Ireland, I

thought the website ukirishhistory did a good job of

presenting the ins and outs, if you will, of the historical

background behind the giving of maundy money and

the maundy service. So I decided to include a little

bit from ukirishhistory for you:

~
"The distribution of maundy money dates back to the 13th

century and the recipients were selected as a reward for their

service to the community. Until the 18th century, the money

went only to persons of the same sex as the reigning monarch,

but thereafter both equal numbers of men and women were

rewarded. With each passing year, one more penny is added

to commemorate the monarch's age. Instead of general

currency, coins were especially minted for the occasion in

four denominations - a groat, a threepence, a half groat and

a penny. They were - and still are, made of silver. The British

coins bear the original image of Queen Elizabeth II, first

minted at the time of her accession in 1953 and designed

by artist Mary Gillick."

~
"The Maundy Service is now held at different cathedrals each

year and pensioners from that locality are selected to be re-

cipients of the royal largesse. Yeomen in their traditional tudor

uniforms carry the money to the cathedral on golden alms

trays on which are a series of red and white pouches."

~

"Each recipient will receive one of each colour, in which will be the

traditional maundy coins (white purse) and some other symbolic

money (in red). In 2009 at Bury St Edmunds, a special £5 coin

was distrubuted, marking the 500th anniversary of the accession

of Henry VIII plus a 50 pence coin celebrating the founding of

Kew Gardens."

~
This year 2010 the Maundy Ceremony moves to Derby

Cathedral at where the Queen will hand out maundy money

to the value of 84 pence, being the sum of her age.
~

So here we are at another Holy Week. As good Christians,

I pray we will remember our Lord's Cruxification and His

Resurrection by taking personal time to mark this

Triduum Sacrum. And remember without Him in

our lives, our world would be even more of a grimmer

place to live. It is through Him then, that our lives hold

a special meaning and spiritual value that is otherwise

dead without Him. When we have "things," but not

Him, then we are hollow and empty despite all the

shopping bags, fancy clothes, greediness, full food

larders, and expensive digital gadgets, that we

surround our modern and secular lives with ...

~

I see in London so many empty people, day in and

day out, I could almost cry for them ... Yet, they gladly

go on their self-centred ways without a single thought

for their utter emptiness and Godless lives! Most

of them will do that until the very day they die

and never know or care of who was Him!!

So, pitiful are they ... aren't they?

Faithfully, Uncle Monty.

"The Christianists" or Hutaree Christian Warriors.

FBI Goes After Christian Militia in Series of Weekend Raids.

By Mike Householder, Associated Press

~
It would take only the secularist and arrogant and

governmentally-armed-to-the-teeth FBI to make

raids and arrests of Christian folks on ironically the

eve of Holy Week!! Surely, we'd expect Muslim cops

in Iran or Islamic states to do such to Christians and

not our Yankee cops? But not so, baby, in the Good

Ole US of A of today ... No, sireeeeeeeeeee!

Renewed call made for a common Christian Easter calendar.

New York (Ecumenical News International - ENI).

The U.S National Council of Churches has renewed its call to set

a common date for the celebration of Easter, when Christians

mark the raising of Jesus from the dead. This year marks a rare

occurrence as Christians from both Orthodox and non-Orthodox

traditions will mark Easter on 4 April. A similar call for a common

date for Easter was made more than 10 years ago, when

Orthodox and non-Orthodox Christians celebrated Easter

on the same date.

~

The renewed call came in a joint letter to member churches

by the Rev. Michael Kinnamon, the NCC's general secretary,

and Antonios Kireopoulos, the NCC's director for faith and order

and interfaith relations. They said that "almost every year the

Christian community is divided over which day to proclaim this

good news. Our split, based on a dispute having to do with

ancient calendars, visibly betrays the message of recon-

ciliation. It is a scandal that surely grieves our God."
