GAME

 


Take a look at The Lawman,

Beating up the wrong guy --

Oh, Man! Wonder if he'll ever know?

He's on The Best-Selling Show

Is there Life on Mars...?





Did you find the girl? 

 

No, well, I can't say I'm very surprised. 

 

I'm going to rest in my bed for half an hour. 

I do not wish to be disturbed. 

I'd stay there until tonight, if I was you. 

We don't much relish strangers around today. 

 

He's asleep. I don't like to use it on him, really. 

The laird said we're to take no chances, didn't he? 

 

I know, but with the Hand of Glory there's no telling when you wake. 

He might sleep for days. 

 

All the better. 

 

Shh! 

We don't want him butting in. 

Go on, light it up. 

That will make you sleep, my pretty Sergeant. 

I'm away to change. 

We can't do without Punch. 

You best get on ahead. 

They've given you girls five minutes start, haven't they? 

Good-bye. 

What's the matter with you, Macgreagor? 

Do you call that dancing?

Cut some capers, man. Use your bladder. 

Play The Fool. 

That's what you're here for. 

I suppose you've been getting drunk at your own bar. 

That's more like it! 

Good, good! 

 

Here comes the job, that you chop off your head! 

Chop, chop, chop, chop. 

Chop, chop, chop, chop. 

 

Everyone must go through, Macgreagor. 

It's a Game of Chance, remember. 

 

It's Holly. 

Well done. 

 

Now, my friends, to The Beach. 

O god of the sea, I offer you this ale as a libation, that you may bestow upon us in the year to come the rich and diverse fruits of your kingdom. 

Hail, god of the seas! Accept our offering! 

And now, for our more dreadful sacrifice... 

yo those who command the fruit of the Earth. 

 

It's Rowan. 

 

What's the matter, Mr. Macgreagor? 


Now, don't be frightened. I'm a police officer.

I've got to try and get you away.


Hurry, mister, please.

I don't like it here. They're coming. 

Do you know what they're gonna do? 

They're going to - - Come on, come on. Hurry, hurry! 

We can escape through The Cave. I know The Way. 

Quickly. That's The Way Out up there. 

Come on. It's through a big tunnel. 


We seem to have lost our torch-bearing friends.

 

I'm sorry. It was worse than I remembered it.

Did I do it right?


You did it beautifully! 

Dear little Rowan. Rowan, darling. 

Come on, now. 


LORD: 

Welcome, Fool. 

You have come of your own Free Will to the appointed place. 

The Game is over. 


POLICEMAN :

Game? What Game? 


LORD :

The Game of The Hunted leading The Hunter. 

You came here to find Rowan Morrison, but it is We who have found You and brought You Here and controlled your every thought and action since You arrived. 

Principally, we persuaded you to think that Rowan Morrison was being held as a sacrifice because our crops failed last year. 


POLICEMAN :

I know your crops failed. 

I saw the harvest photograph. 

LORD :

Oh, yes. They failed, all right, disastrously so... for the first time since my grandfather came Here. 

The blossom came but The Fruit withered and died on The Bough. 

That must not happen again this year. 

It is our most earnest belief that the best way of preventing this is to offer to our God of The Sun and to The Goddess of Our Orchards the most acceptable sacrifice that lies in our power. 

Animals are fine, but their acceptability is limited. 

A little child is even better, but not nearly as effective as the right kind of adult. 


POLICEMAN :

What do you mean, "right kind of adult"? 


LORD :

You, Sergeant, are the right kind of adult, as our painstaking researches have revealed. 

You, uniquely, were The One We Needed. 

A Man who would come Here of his own Free Will. 

A Man who has come Here with The Power of a King by representing The Law. 

A Man who would come Here as a Virgin. 

A Man who has come Here as a Fool. 




POLICEMAN :

Get out of my way. 


WENCH :

You are The Fool, Mr. Howie - 

Punch, one of the great Fool-Victims of History, for you have accepted The Role of King for a day, and who but A Fool would do that? 

But you will be revered and anointed as a King. 

You will undergo Death and Rebirth - Resurrection, if you like. 

The rebirth, sadly, will not be yours, but that of our crops. 



POLICEMAN :

I am a Christian, and as a Christian, I Hope for Resurrection. 

And even if you kill me now, it is I who will live again, not your damned apples. 


Sleep Close and fast 


POLICEMAN :

 

No matter what you do, you can't change the fact that I believe in the Life Eternal, as promised to Us by Our Lord, Jesus Christ. 

I believe in The Life Eternal as promised to Us by Our Lord, Jesus Christ. 


LORD :

That is good. For believing what you do, we confer upon you a rare gift these days - a Martyr's Death. 


You will not only have Life Eternal, but you will sit with The Saints among The Elect. 

Come. It is time to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man. 




POLICEMAN :

Now, wait! Now, all of you, just wait and listen to me. 

And you can wrap it up any way you like. 

You are about to commit murder. Can you not see? 

There is no Sun God. 

There is no Goddess of The Fields. 

Your crops failed because your strains failed. 

Fruit is not meant to be grown on these islands. 

It's against Nature. 

Don't you see that killing me is not going to bring back your apples? 

Summerisle, you know it won't. Go on, man. 

Tell them. Tell them it won't. 


LORD :

I know it will




POLICEMAN :

Well, don't you understand that if your crops fail this year, next year you're going to have to have another blood sacrifice? 

And next year, no one less than The King of Summerisle himself will do. 

If the crops fail, Summerisle, next year your people will kill you on May Day. 


LORD :

They will not fail. The Sacrifice of The Willing King-like Virgin-Fool, will be accepted. 




POLICEMAN :

But don't you see I'll be missed?

They'll come looking for me.


There will be no traces. Bring him up, Oak. 

Go on.


No! Think! Just think what you're doing

! Think what you're doing! Think! In The Name of God, think what you're doing! 


Oh, God! Oh, Jesus Christ! 

Oh, my God! Christ! No, no, dear God! No, Christ! No, no! 


Mighty god of the Sun, bountiful goddess of our orchards, accept our sacrifice and make our blossoms fruit. Mighty god of the Sun, bountiful goddess of our orchards... - Hear ye the words of the lord! ...accept our sacrifice and make our blossoms fruit. Awake, ye heathens, and hold! It is the Lord who hath laid waste your orchards! It is he who hath made them bare! - Reverence the sacrifice. Hold, ye husbandmen, because the harvest of your field hath perished and the vine is dried up and the apple tree languisheth! Even all the trees of the field are withered because the truth is withered away from the sons of men. Desire shall fail and ye shall all die accursed! Summer is a-comin' in Loudly sing cuckoo Grows the seed and blows the mead And springs the wood anew Sing cuckoo Ewe bleats harshly after lamb Cows after calves make moo The lord's my shepherd I'll not want He takes me down to lie in pastures - Oh, God. Grows the seed and blows the mead And springs the wood anew - Sing cuckoo - Oh, God. I humbly entreat you for the soul of this, thy servant, Neil Howie... who will today depart from this world. Do not deliver me into The Enemy's hands... or put me out of mind forever. Let me not undergo the real pains of hell, dear God, because I die unshriven - Cuckoo, cuckoo - and establish me in that bliss which knows no ending, - Cuckoo - through Christ, our lord. Grows the seed and blows the mead Failure! Failure! Sing cuckoo Ewe bleats harshly after lamb Cows after calves make moo Bullock stamps and deer champs Now shrilly sing cuckoo Cuckoo, cuckoo Wild bird are you Be never still, cuckoo

Safe. Secure. Stability. Certainty.

There are 3 things that require the unanimous vote of the nation to effect,—

  • Deposition of the Sovereign
  • Introduction of Novelties in Religion
  • Suspension of Law.



"The remain Islamist Extremists will be HUNTED DOWN, and defeated.

The attempt on my ministry has left me SCARRED, and DEFORMED.... But, I assure you - my resolve has NEVER BEEN STRONGER!

In order to ensure it's Safety and the continuing Stability, Her Majesty's Government will be REORGANISED into the SECOND BRITISH EMPIRE - for a Safe, and Secure Society. 



[ Approved and Passed by Popular Acclamation on the floor of The Chamber ]




[ cf. " He Has... , He Has... , He Has... , ]


"I have just been to see Her Majesty the Queen and I will now form a government. 

A Government that can provide certainty and lead Britain forward at this critical time for our country.


[ I Claim The Prize - There Can Be Only ONE ] 

This Government will guide the country through the crucial Brexit talks that begin in just 10 days and deliver on the will of the British people by taking the United Kingdom out of the European Union. 


[ We're not going anywhere for the next 24 months and 10 days ]


It will work to keep our nation safe and secure by delivering the change that I set out following the appalling attacks in Manchester and London.

[ We'll just negate all Police officers and criminal courts as being not sufficiently reliable enforcement (which has long been known, hence there was never any real effort made to train them in the use of sidearms. Instead, we'll rely on small squads of Tactical black-ops special forces infantry, sourcec from, and trained to  [almost certainly] SAS, Paratroop Regiment- level combat skills ]


Cracking down on the ideology of Islamist extremism and all those who support it and giving the police and the authorities the powers they need to keep our country safe.


Inference
Right now, they are not able to, meaning 
' We are not safe, Clarence, We are not safe.'


 And I don't know how you crack down on an idea, execpt by cracking open the heads of all the people that believe in it.

The Government I lead will put fairness and opportunity at the heart of everything we do so that we will fulfil the promise of Brexit together and over the next five years build a country in which no-one and no community is left behind, a country in which prosperity and opportunity are shared across this United Kingdom.

What the country needs more than ever is certainty and having secured the largest number of votes and the greatest number of seats in the General Election it is clear that only the Conservative and Unionist party* has the legitimacy and ability to provide that certainty by commanding a majority in the House of Commons.


[ * Saying, we are of one party. ]

As we do, we will continue to work with our friends and allies in the Democratic Unionist party in particular."



[ cf. President Andrew Johnson "...that portion, who are Loyal.", meaning, Loyal to the Ruling House of Hanover ]


Our two parties have enjoyed a strong relationship over many years and this gives me the confidence to believe that we will be able to work together in the interests of the whole United Kingdom.

This will allow us to come together as a country and channel our energies towards a successful BreXit deal that works for everyone in this country, securing a new partnership with the EU which guarantees our long-term prosperity.


That's what people voted for last June, that's what we will deliver. Now let's get to work."


"Who are these people..?"

I'm a Liar and a Thief


Games4May, Election's in June.


I'm on
my time 
with everyone
I have 
very 
bad posture

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

Give me 
a Leonard Cohen 
afterworld
So I 
can sigh 
eternally

I'm so tired I can't sleep
I'm anemic royalty
I'm a Liar and a Thief 
I'm anemic royalty

I'm on 
warm milk 
and laxatives
Cherry-flavored 
antacids

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
To still the Life that's inside of me
I'm anemic royalty
I'm anemic royalty

Buying Records is Just as Important as Voting (But Do That As Well)







The Late, Accurséd Baroness Thatcher  - may she never Rest in Peace - expressed her belief that Telstar by Joe Meek and The Tornados [which was Joe Meek] was perhaps the single greatest piece of popular music ever composed - I agree with her.*


  • It's uniquely British;
  • It's Innovative, Groundbreaking and Commerically Successful;
  • It's an Optimisitic, Confident and Bold People's Hymn to the Uplifting, Aspirational and Blakian White Light, White Heat of Wilsonian, Bennite Scientific Socialism



It's right up there with Blake's Jerusalem  and It's Grim Up North by The KLF

THE NORTH SHALL RISE AGAIN

If Joe Meek were with us today (and he is), he would remind us that buying records is just as important as voting, and is more meaniningful.


Because :
  • It involves Payment; 
  • Payment requires Sacrifice; and 
  • Sacrifice is Investment
This is why buying Blu-Rays is more important than renting movies or watching them on NetFlix or AmazonPrime via your subscription -

MULLHOLLAND DRIVE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN U-571, ON THE BUSES AND BEACH VOLLEY BALL DETECTIVES PART 1  



INVEST IN IDEAS
AND THEY WILL INVEST THEMSELVES IN YOU


* I also agree, in totality with the following :
"The President of the Commission, M. Delors, said at a press conference the other day that he wanted the European Parliament to be the democratic body of the Community, he wanted the Commission to be the Executive and he wanted the Council of Ministers to be the Senate. No. No. No."
