Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has seen many bloggers have put up Union Jacks to show their support for the British people as they recover from the terrorist attacks of yesterday. The Brits are the greatest friends any nation could hope to have.

Your Maximum Leader thought he would put up a Union Jack too. But he remembered a WW1 poster he has in some dusty tome on the shelf in his office. So last night he found the photo and was trying to scan it. Well, it looks like JR (blogging on the site of the lovely SondraK) found it too.

Your Maximum Leader found another copy and enlarged it slightly. It is presented above.

In other news. Your Maximum Leader is preparing to go to the Smallholder’s farm and visit with the Smallholder, Mrs. Smallholder, the Smallholding offspring, as well as the Foreign Minister and his family. Guess what else? The Minister of Propaganda will be there too!

And there was much rejoicing.

The occasion for this fest is the Christening of the Wee Smallholder. And of course, where there is Christening there will have to be some consubstantiation (maybe some transubstantiation if we’re lucky), a bit of invoking, probably some praying, an attempt at singing and giving praise, and - of course - lots and lots and lots of drinking. Oh yes! And a pig has been slaughtered as well. So we will have food with our drink.

And there was much rejoicing.

Needless to say, don’t anticipate any posting over the weekend. A redacted report of goings-on will be posted on Monday…

Or whenever the hangover ends.

Carry on.
