Excellent question, Cecilia. Whatever Lord Frost's answer is, I somehow doubt it will cast him in a sympathetic light.

Christ, I miss the 'applaud' button!

Yep, called it. Complete wanker. Can't wait to watch him get his comeuppance.

I like the implication that he apparently thought this out ahead of time but still couldn't think of a better plan than imprisioning everyone who asked him basic questions. Kinda reminds me of the plot of Fargo

[Anders71]

"Heresy," in this secular, politicized sense is simply that which diverges from the projected Maurassian national construct united under a single party and a dictator-monarch. Whatever "unites" the nation-state into a single entity is good, and whatever "divides" it by preserving a separate identity or allegiance, like Judaism, Masonry, or Protestantism, is conceived of as bad (...) in the new political religion, the imagined, totalized national state becomes "orthodoxy," and independence becomes "heresy." "Heretics," once again, have to be expunged.

   Hence Maurras cites the history of French "civil war," by which he means the extirpation of "heretics" like the Albigensians, the Camisards, and the Templars, who are "enemies" of the unified French identity. "Hérétiques" and "insurgés" are fundamentally alike: they divide. By contrast, what he supports is the "unité Catholique," the projected indivisibility of French society under a monarch or dictator who is the secular equivalent of the Pope.

   ...It is not that Maurras cares about the concept of heresy itself as a religious idea: what concerns him is the political notion of heresy as [a] schism or sectarian division that splits one group away from society as a whole. Thus, he represents very clearly an example of the secularization of heretic-hunting.

Just a quote that I was reminded of.

Anyway.

Comic.

Comic!
