British Parliament’s metachlorine count rises
![]()
A few years ago the British Office for National Statistics added “Jedi Knight” as a checkbox for religion in their census. Now, in his maiden speech to the House of Commons, the Hon. Member for Copeland, Jamie Reed MP, announced that he is a Jedi. From a Parliament publication:
as the first Jedi Member of this place, I look forward to the protection under the law that will be provided to me by the Bill.
He’s referring to the controversial Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill, so my guess is that he doesn’t seriously consider himself a Jedi, but he’s just trying to make a point about the bill. Still, it would be good to see someone address Tony Blair as “the Right Honourable Darth Foppish”.

Again you give Lucasian thought too much credit. The title would be Darth Flamer. Lucas isn’t creative enough to click the thesauraus option in Word to get fop.
