In what is being seen as a controversial move, Boris Johnson last night announced that pop icon, Sir Cliff Richard, will be crucified on Christmas Eve in the hope that God will be appeased by the sacrifice of the devout Christian and will deliver the world from the covid-19 pandemic.
Speaking on BBC 4’s The World At One, Johnson said: “I think I can say with complete confidence that the country and the world as a whole has suffered long enough from this wretched disease.
“The government have therefore decided to crucify Sir Cliff Richard just before midnight on Christmas Eve in the hope that God will appreciate the gesture and put an end to this pestilence once and for all.
“I haven’t spoken to Sir Cliff personally, but the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, called him yesterday morning and he was all for it, apparently.
“He’s a religious cove of course and will probably see it as an honour to suffer on the cross for the good of mankind just as Jesus did back in the day”
We managed to contact Sir Cliff at his holiday home in Vale De Lobo in Portugal, from where the Mistletoe And Wine star told us: “When I was told that I had been chosen to die on the cross I couldn’t have been more delighted.
“I’m in my eighties now so I’ve had a good innings.
I’ve made loads of cash and have received shedloads of adulation from my fans, although, I’ve not had quite as much in the way of pussy as I would have liked.”
Sir Cliff will be nailed to a specially imported, olive wood cross at a Royal Mail depot at Dover before being transported on the back of a lorry to Tower Hill in London where he will be pulled upright and left for a day or two until his spirit ascends into Heaven.

What a guy. I always assumed he was a virgin you know. It’s hard to imagine Sir Cliff handing out an energetic scuttling.

Yes, he’s a bit like The Queen in that respect.

Probably wiser to crucify him that way, burning him could cause some nasty toxic fumes from all the plastic and there’d be a explosive reaction as the wholesomeness goes off.
Sorry, I seem to have wondered off the point of the sacrifice and just keenly focused on the method of his execution.

The prospect is so damn delicious it’s an easy mistake to make

Might I suggest adjacent malefactors for crucifixion, Scott Morrison-from marketing, Australian PM, and to the RHS, don trump past USA president.

Sounds like a plan. “Always look on the bright side of life, de dooh de dooh etc.”
