Socially Reclusive

Theres around 40,000 people in Winchester. Mainly white, middle-class, Christians. This time of the year, its near Easter, infact today is Good Friday. This year, a group have put on a full production of Jesus’s big day in the center of Winchester. A lot of works gone into this. Its all prepared, dramamtised and full of speacil effects.

Almost all of Winchester is going, walking about in a rally-like group, to watch a black man carry a cross and eventually be tortured to death on it. Does that strike anyone as a little Ku Klux Klanish?

No, it’ll be fine. I mean, even the Armys taking part. A group of people whose job it is to go to other countrys and kill other people of a different background. I guess they cant be racist, can they?

As I was walking home from the train station, I saw the crowd and managed to get this quick snap. Its blurry, but you can see around 500 - 1000 people in the “precession”. Hope it doesn’t rain tonight…
