St Albion Parish News

St Albion Parish News is currently a regular feature in the satirical magazine Private Eye. It is used as a vehicle to lampoon the present British government and its predecessors. Famous political figures are given satirically equivalent roles within a typical Anglican church: for example, Tony Blair becomes the vicar of St Albion's, "Rev. A.R.P. Blair, MA (Oxon)". George W. Bush has often appeared in the Parish News as the Rev. Dubya Bush of the Church of the Latter-Day Morons (or, in some issues in 2003, the Latter-Day Morbombs), in reference to the Mormons.
