God Almighty, as if we didn’t have enough to cope with, what with Al-Qaeda popping away at us. Now it appears that we’re paying for grand banquets at the House of Commons for the bloody freemasons.
Duke of Kent
The Daily Moaner knows little about this secret society, except that people who join secret societies are usually overgrown small boys, probably with extremely tiny penises. They delight in strange rites, and have a love of overblown titles, such as the Grand Vizier of the Indigo Catweazle Lodge. And what fun to have secret handshakes, and signs, which ordinary common people can’t share in?
Now we discovered that Cameron has hosted an event for the West Oxfordshire Lady Freemasons. The Daily Moaner would like to make it clear that these ladies do NOT have extremely tiny penises.
Not only that, but our Speaker, John Bercow, has hosted a Gray’s Inn Lodge Ladies Night. And Tony Baldry – once known at the Min of Ag as “Baldrick” — has hosted the Provincial Grand Lodge of Surrey.
Can we assume, do you think, that these three are themselves freemasons? Have Cameron et al rolled up their trouser-legs and sworn fealty to the masons? And if so, can we assume they could discharge their duties independently, without favour to these shadowy organisations? How many freemasons are there in the two Houses? Is there a register?
Don’t hold your breath — you’re not going to get an answer.
