[Redbook1:180][19701026.0000]{A Sense of Humour}[26th October 1970]

Mon 26/10/70 [continued]

            The Pope said of his 40 British Martyrs: They died with serenity and joy, simplicity and ‘not without that precious gift of humour which is typical of their people’.

            I still think that the name “Great” Britain is deserved for the humour with which, on the whole, the British have accepted and even facilitated their own loss of a more obvious greatness.
