The Ambridge Socialist
26th December
Mystery Plays, mystery….
Longer term readers of the Ambridge Socialist will be familiar with our boycott of the Ambridge Panto. In recent times even the BBC has consigned this to the historical dustbin but in 2021 we have instead the continuing tedium of the Mysteries. The Mystery Plays are in themselves both traditional and of some interest in terms of issues and dilemmas. By contrast the Ambridge Mystery Plays have focused, endlessly, on what costumes the cast should or should not wear. Perhaps they could have pioneered the Naked Mysteries.
Fortunately Radio 4 has two hour long episodes of the actual Ambridge Mystery Plays (today and next Sunday) when acting rather than what the cast are wearing will be the focus. In previous years such exercises have been well worth a seasonal listen.

Protest at the South Borsetshire Boxing Day Hunt
With no specific restrictions in place it looks like the Boxing Day hunt will go ahead. The Ambridge Socialist has backed Mia Grundy’s protests and numbers of supporters have pledged to help. Please meet on the Village Green at 9am on Boxing Day. Glasses of mulled Tumble Tussocks will be available.
Update: We understand that Sgt Burns bootboys frustrated a protest by the Archers Anarchists
