H Boggart Abroad: Return Of The Jedi 9without his cornflakes)

Boggart Abroad

A humourous way of looking at events around the world. Happenings both momentous and trivial are given the Thorpe treatment which can range from subtle satire to zany surrealism. All Ian's posts have one thing in common, they cut through the b.s. of mainstream media coverage to expose hypocrisy and cant.

Return Of The Jedi 9without his cornflakes)

The march of crackpot religions continues apace. When in the last UK census around ten per cent of us listed our religion as Jedi we wwere joking.

Somebody however (there's always one out there) went and formed an official Chuech Of Jediism, with a doctrine, a creed and all the other nonsense including a commandment stating Jedi Knights may not be seen in public withot their heads raised.

This would get Obi Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Luke Skywalker excommunicated to name but three. The founder of the Church of Jediism might stuggle to obey the diktat too, when he popped down the shops for a loaf, some milk and a packet of cornflakes he was approached by security as he queued at the checkout and asked to lower his hood because people might mistake him for a terrorist.

When he refused he was escorted out of the store without his stuff. We hope he can eat The Force, if not he's going to be a very hungry Jedi.
