Men of Goodwill

Britain's Head Boy has been preaching Christian values, presumably in another attempt to shore up his vote among the elderly who are more likely to be church-goers. Doubtless he also wishes to bestow spiritual reassurance upon his own back-bench baboons, who tend to favour such venerable Christian values as witch-hunting, Muslim-baiting, misogyny and slave-holding. Daveybloke burbled about the armed forces "protecting people and entire communities from the threat of terrorism and disease"; of course, the Saviour is well known for advocating the use of soldiers in all sorts of circumstances, especially when loving one's enemy. Daveybloke burbled about the volunteers and charity workers whom his administration has done so much to liberate from the ties of materialism. Daveybloke burbled about the churches opening their doors and welcoming one and all unto the spiritual supermarket; the Church of England, like Britain's Head Boy himself, has recently even gone so far as to appoint a token filly to a position of some authority.

Clegg and the Milibeing, by contrast, chose to base their seasonal platitudes around the Christmas truce, doubtless in the hope of connecting with those who vote Sainsbury's.
