Graffiti on the walls of Canterbury Cathedral, the chief Anglican church of Great Britain, built in 1070

Graffiti on the walls of Canterbury Cathedral, the chief Anglican church of Great Britain, built in 1070. This is the cathedral founded by Saint Augustine himself, and its walls have been disfigured with hideous tags. And do you know what? The graffiti on the walls of the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Christ at Canterbury appeared on the initiative of the Church of England itself!

The project is timed to coincide with the integration of representatives of "marginalised communities". Naturally, the ideologues of "social progressivism" have furnished even this madness with a suitable foundation, and the Dean of Canterbury reports that the crudeness of this graffiti and its destructive style make him wonder why he cannot always be so candid, especially in his prayers. As for prayers, I cannot say, but as to his rhetorical question the answer is in principle this: civility and cultural restraint are what keep all humanity from sliding back into cave and tribal art.

But the point is not that someone has found a revelation in native sigils; in truth this is part of a large process of rebranding. Before long, it seems, instead of "Lord, bless us" people will say "Respect from the hood", and confession will be received in the comments beneath a tag on the wall. God save us, like, subscribe, ring the bell.
