Halloween's Day, famed for the day when Ghouls, Ghosts and Witches come out to play.
Have you read Chris Spivey's article called
Monster's Inc? It's a shocking indictment of the Queen and her family. Of-course all this rumour and insinuation of Satanic worship could all be a conspiracy by the Christian Extreme right, as exposed by
SAFF, having conducted their own thorough investigation of the
Devil in Lewes article published by the Guardian newspaper, but then again as Chris Spivey points out, something more sinister is afoot. In light of which the visit of the Queen on Halloween's Day couldn't be better timed.
The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh are in town, lock up your kids and bring in your cats.
