Forming a Herefordshire Branch of the KKKK

As regular readers will know, Herefordshire Council has decreed that this blog is more dangerous to local youth than the Ku Klux Klan.

If you can't beat em join em so I have today set up Britain's first Grand Lodge of the KKKK.

This is like the American KKK but operates within the umbrella of the Coalition's 'Big Society'

KKKK stands for the Kuddle Kare Komfort Klan.
It is essentially Mr Cameron's 'hug a hoodie' philosophy but with the excitement of burning crosses, white sheets and froth-nostriled horses to actually lure young thugs into Dave's Big Society concept!

Leominster In Stitches (an offshoot of the WI) are working on the white robes. This is Herefordshire, so rustling a few horses will be child's play. (Memo to self - buy bag carrots Thursday).

But the burning crosses are trickier than y'd think.
Kate is down in That London affording me the opportunity of a trial run. The cross is easily whacked together from two big sticks and some Twisty Tie.

But igniting it with bbq fluid is harder than one might imagine. And the said accelerant, once ignited, spread swiftly to the sweet peas so I could be in trouble when Kate returns.

Still, it reminds me of two great reasons to love the American Deep South in the 1950s: Elvis, and easy access to cheap pitch.
