Introduction to this weeks page

Page 88 of Phill from GCHQ - Yes, I know - five month since the last page! But now Phill is back. I have had a grant that covers about a third of the print expenses so part one (the first 46 pages) will be put up as a Kickstarter in January 2020 in a hardback version (hardback because of those money from the grant).

If you can't remember what has happened up until now you can read here on the Phill from GCHQ website. Phill and his friends, the pagan cult who watches over three evil Celtic Gods, have encountered the crazy data scientist Gerome Beatty-Philpot, but we need to move on to another character - foreign secretary, Boris Johnson!

As you can see on page 5, Boris Johnson suffers from an almost clinical europhilia and during his childhood he has, on that account, suffered so many humiliations that he is, well... a bit unstable. The text he quotes is from Arthur Rimbaud's fabulous , Une saison en enfer. And it translates as follows:

My day is done; I am leaving Europe!

I will return back with limbs of iron, dark skin, and furious eyes: on this mask, they will believe me belonging to a strong race. I will have gold: I will be brutal and laze. Women nurse such ferocious invalids who are returned from the hot south. I will become involved in politics. Saved.

(While vomiting)
Now I am accursed, I hate my homeland. The best would be a nap, dead drunk, on the beach.

Happy reading.
