The Mau Mau Uprising happened from 1952 – 1960. Queen Elizabeth was in Kenya, staying at the Treetop Hotel, when news arrived of the death of her father. She became queen in Kenya. And apparently she didn’t notice a thing! Those trees are pretty high up, after all.
The British invented the concentration camp. There, they tortured and massacred thousands of Mau Maus, whom the British saw as savages! In the 1950s! Christ, this wasn’t the 1850s – did you need to vent your hatred of the hippies on someone darker?
Anyway, Hitler liked the idea so much …
Well, history never forgets. Some younger Kenyans who think Prince Charles is not their king and never will be, have proposed another rebellion against the British. But this time, with a sense of humor!
Taking a page from the Spanish Armada, the Kenyans are set to fill lots of ships and boats and anything that floats with scarecrows dressed as Mau Maus and send them north to Britain.
There, British politicians and other authorities will become frightened and confused about even MORE refugees wanting to return to the Motherland (America has its southern wall, Britain has its Channel – same thing, the poor want to live with the rich in the hopes of not being poor anymore … rich people, politicians, don’t get this?).
But, alas! Eventually the British port authorities will realize that the Mau Maus aren’t real (they do all look alike, don’t they?) and that they were duped and spent a lot of money and time and argument in the House about what to do, what to do, what to do …
And back home in Kenya … the new young Mau Maus will be laughing and building more scarecrows to send again in a year or so, just to see if they can dupe (and taunt) the Brits a second time!
The Trojan Ship of the Mau Maus shall set sail and the sun shall never set upon their comedy!
