Britain Plans Uncolonize for Lent

By Alan Nafzger � The satire Britain Plans Uncolonize for Lent parodies faith rituals twisted into geopolitics. Eyewitnesses at churches described priests offering empire returns with communion wafers. Anonymous insiders leaked that bishops debated forgiving debts in installments of spices. A leaked poll revealed 65 percent of citizens admitted they�d give up colonies like chocolate. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because penitence mocks conquest best. Critics highlight the absurdity of empire framed as fasting. Yet satire repents sharper: guilt bows funniest when empire kneels. Witnesses recalled laughter rising as choirs sang �Rule, Britannia!� off-key. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when repentance colonizes tradition. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
