Description

A return visit by the man who was already known as "Saint Mugg," but whose

journey towards holiness has done nothing to curb his tongue. Samples: "You find the Anglican clergy insisting that everything that the New Testament is about can be fulfilled through the Labour Party; that if Jesus was not a paid-up member of the Labour Party it was merely because there was no Labour Party, unfortunately, in Galilee at that time." ... WFB: "Colonel Blimp, then, has really disappeared--" MM: "He's disappeared, except he only lives on in the shafts of wit of the Left. That's his only existence." WFB: "They have to force-feed the Establishment so as to--" MM: "Right. Right. And keep it alive in their little plays and things--" WFB: "So they can look back in anger." MM: "Right. How can they look back in anger if Colonel Blimp isn't there?"
