BY PHLEGYAS Let it never be said that the Church of England is lacking in leadership. Always looking ahead to the Big Issues of the day, and in doing so looking out for ourselves, we in the Church have identified a serious pandemic of Sin across the country. Worse, we, who pride ourselves on rooting out the Devil wherever he or they (sic) are lurking, … Continue reading Sin – A Modest Proposal
BY DOMINIC WIGHTMAN We stumble across many weirdoes in our lives. It’s part and parcel of the interconnected environment within which we exist. In the pre-Internet era, green-inkers were relatively disempowered outliers who kept to themselves. They were Twitter-free curtain-twitchers and entirely Post-Office dependent. Nowadays all the nutters on the bus and spotty attic dwellers possess (literally) social media accounts. In 2021 ‘Care in the … Continue reading The Sacred Fox

Nigel Farage took a great deal of … Continue reading The Brexit Putin Remoaner Conspiracy
BY SAM WHITE Have you ever thought you knew a place, looked away for a moment, and when you look back it’s changed? Have you ever had that happen for an entire country? I hadn’t – not for a whole nation – until just now, when I looked at Britain and saw the most bizarre of infernos taking hold. It appears that Britain has been … Continue reading A Strange Revolution
VICAR Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, I wish You a peaceful Sunday and a prosperous, safe week ahead. This year seems to be rattling by. Who would believe that Lent is already upon us and, annoying for many, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday which is also Valentine’s Day this year. So giving up chocolates or wine, or liqueurs may be a tad tricky this … Continue reading A Prayer for Lent
VICAR Dear Readers, I wish you a happy and peaceful Sunday, as ever. Since lambing season is well and truly upon us, this week I would like to draw your attention to sheep. In the Bible we Christians are often referred to as sheep. But let us not be confused by what we see in the green fields of this United Kingdom and how we … Continue reading We Are Not Sheep
