Oooh! Look at him. Black as the ace of spades. I tell you it's these bloody foreigners and ther smelly cooking that's bringing down the empire.

In a move to appear more open and modern, the Church of England has decided to endorse a pantheon approach to other religions.

Once again, Anglicans took to the streets in bloody riots and protests against the importation of foreign gods into the land.

Unfortunately for former prime minister Blair, the majority of the memorial committee established to decide on the statue commemorating his time in office were not great fans of his.

I said we needed 'A New Bus', not anubis.

Once again we see immigrant gods taking jobs that local gods aren't willing to do.

Dog days for the British Empire.

The ride itself is pleasant and affordable. Having your heart torn out of your chest and weighed against a feather when you reach the other side of the Thames, however, is less enjoyable.
