Hamburg, 13 June 1936. A dock full of Germans giving the Nazi salute in front of Hitler. Every single one — except one man with his arms crossed. His name is August Landmesser. As the far right rises and racism gets normalised, this sermon is about what it means to be the one who refuses. And why racism doesn't just make you a cunt — it limits your own life. Think with your dick to stamp out racism.
Remember when people were addicted to interesting things? Drink, drugs, sex. Now it's just: look at me. Influencer culture has replaced experience with content and hedonism with narcissism. A sermon on vanity, the Folkestone Harbour Arm champagne bar, and the one moment the Priest briefly — reluctantly — saw Trump's point. He's not proud of it.
All we are saying is give peace a chance. Or how about some fucking intellect for a change? Vietnam. Iraq. The next one. Same governments, same lies, same body count. You have all the information in the world at your fingertips — stop letting someone else do your thinking. A sermon on war, media, and the dangerous scarcity of critical thought.
It's not one headline. It's every day, a little more, from every right wing media channel and algorithm designed to point your anger at someone. Immigrants. Trans people. Muslims. The Priest made the mistake of commenting on a GB News post and now his Facebook is wall to wall manufactured rage. A sermon on how hate is engineered — and what happens when nobody notices.
Social media rewards negativity. Andrew Tate built an empire degrading women. Farage earns £1.2m a year broadcasting racism and calling it news. Katie Hopkins will say anything for a share. Try to put something positive into the world and watch the likes flatline. A sermon on the burden of trying to spread love in a system rigged against it.
The Priest is all for the trans movement — once you see gender as a social construction, you start seeing every other social construction too. But he has a genuine question. Earn less. Be judged for your body from birth. One bad parking and you're a bad driver forever. Five women in a weekend and you're a stud; look at a man and you're a whore. Why would any man want to be a woman? The last line has the answer.
Forty years of free market ideology sold as freedom. A sermon on the religion that replaced democracy — how we got here, who sold it to us, and what it's cost everyone except the people running it.
A sermon on one of the oldest and most cynically deployed hatreds in history. What antisemitism actually is, how it gets weaponised by the powerful, and why conflating it with legitimate political criticism serves nobody except those who want the conversation shut down.
Your energy bills went up. Their profits went up more. A sermon on the great energy heist — how privatisation, shareholder greed, and political cowardice turned a basic human need into a mechanism for extracting money from people who can't afford it.
The most powerful men in the world, and this is what we got. A sermon in character — the Priest does his impressions of the people currently dismantling democracy for personal gain, with varying degrees of accuracy and a great deal of contempt.
Brexit promised to take back control. A sermon on what we actually got — the same people, the same system, the same broken promises, just with less access to a decent doctor and a longer queue at the airport. Great Britain, reheated and served cold.
The oldest question in the book — and the Priest has some thoughts. Not the God kind. The actual kind. A sermon on meaning, purpose, and what we're doing with the one life we've got while the world burns around us and nobody seems particularly bothered.
His real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. A sermon on Britain's most prominent professional racist — how he built a brand out of hatred, who funds it, who benefits from it, and why the media keeps handing him a megaphone while calling it balance.
You haven't seen a real pay rise in years. Rent keeps going up. The cost of food, energy, and just existing keeps climbing. A sermon on the cost of living crisis — not as a news story, but as the lived reality of millions of people being slowly squeezed while those at the top get richer.
She will say anything. Attack immigrants, disabled people, trans people, fat people, poor people — whoever gets her the most attention that day. A sermon on Britain's most dedicated professional hatemonger, the media ecosystem that created her, and why outrage is the most profitable business model of the age.
A sermon on the most visible political wife in the world — what her story actually tells us about power, transaction, and the American dream when you look at it from a different angle. With sympathy, with satire, and with questions the mainstream press never quite gets round to asking.
He didn't kill himself. A sermon on Jeffrey Epstein — not the tabloid version, but the systemic one. Who he served, who was served by him, and why the list of powerful men implicated remains mostly unexamined while the story keeps getting buried.
Not a dog whistle. Not a coded message. Just racism — in plain sight, on the record, for decades. A sermon cataloguing what the most powerful man in the world actually believes about people who don't look like him, and why half the country decided that was fine.
A sermon delivered from inside the head of the aggrieved. The people who feel they've had something taken from them by being asked not to hate. Where that feeling comes from, who cultivates it, and what it's being used for. Satire with a sharp edge.
Reform UK has found its scapegoats. But the list keeps growing — immigrants, Muslims, trans people, the woke, the educated. A sermon on the logic of the far right playbook: you always need an enemy, and once you run out of the obvious ones, you start looking closer to home.
A whole month without drinking — because apparently we need a marketing campaign to tell us when to stop. A sermon on Dry January, the wellness industrial complex, and the peculiarly British relationship with alcohol, abstinence, and the desperate need to tell everyone about both.
