The most holy relic of the Ashanti people of what is now Ghana is the 17th Century Sika Dwa Kofi, or ‘Golden Stool’, which, according to the fully fact-checked autobiography of the Ashanti ruler at the time, King Arday I, descended miraculously down from Heaven in a cloud of white dust and into his waiting lap, thereby confirming him as the rightful ruler of the land, and miraculously curing him of all previous muteness, hairline leg-fractures and advanced brain tumours forever. That is the public story of how the Ashanti got hold of their famous Golden Stool, anyway. In all likelihood, the gold was actually sourced from a rather less holy origin: slavery.
The Ashanti Empire operated both lucrative gold mines and a lucrative slave trade, together with a strict religious taboo upon the actual excavation of gold. Free men were generally forbidden from mining the precious metal, meaning it had by tribal law to be mainly dug up by the hands of the enslaved. So, a sceptic may say when gazing at the Golden Stool, the legend it floated down from an aerial Heaven was really just a handy mythological means of hiding the fact it was actually heaved up from a subterranean Hell.
One person you might expect to be able to easily discern the difference between Heaven and Hell is Dame Sarah ‘Doolally’ Mullally, the present Arch-Cretin of Canterbury, who visited Ghana last week to ritually apologise for her apostolic ancestors’ historical profit from

The King’s new title is Protector of the Space for Faith in the multi faith nation. Come on DS can we hear from Gavin Ashenden, please?
Just like the recruitment team at Cambridge University, the team appointing recent Archbishops needs investigating.
Appointments like this are not insignificant. They affect everyone.
This one is clearly another DEI appointment made with no thought or apparent understanding that Brits are crying out for a strong individual able to reignite the good of Christianity in the face of attempts to wipe it out.
Also for the £Ms which Ghana and Nigeria and others con out of innocent men and women in Romance Scams.
For a little light relief from keeping up with the awful news these days (and avoiding the BBC) I watch these ‘Catfished’ stories on YT. Time and time again (admittedly gullible, but lonely) women and men are conned out of giving £1000s to someone posing as a a white rich reputable business person… After losing £1000s some realise something is not right and report it.
They rarely get their money back, but when investigated the person purporting to be a “rich businessman” is inevitably traced back to actually being in in Nigeria or Ghana or similar places…… It is a well organised criminal racket which these countries are doing little to stop.
Mullally is the embodiment of the saying “a fool and their money are soon parted.”
Except it’s not her money. Like all gullible, virtue-signalling socialists, she believes YOUR money is HERS.
Fasto Dolally is so short of cash that unpaid Deacons are being expected to give services instead of badly paid and missing vicars. She should start distributing her golden stools in the UK instead of flushing then down the drain.
No one here can stand her.
Christianity is about atoning for one’s own sins, not the sins of others.
No-one should be surprised that a priestess preaches an alternate gospel. In this case, the gospel according to the progressive State.
Unity is our strength
Women screwing things up again. Doolalley Mulley is a woman way out of her depth. Get women out of male job roles. (And yes, the last male Arch Idiots of Canterbury were also naive fools).
So now we know what happened to Garth dude….

The caption for the picture should be:
Bloke on golden stool meets woman who’s full of shit.
And how did she ever become a Dame? An insult to any women who deserved that title such as Sharon Davies.
Sharon Davies definitely deserves to be made a dame but given her outspoken views about keeping cocks in frocks out of female sport she’ll never get this honor.
Given where so much “aid” ends up, I’m sure that Mercedes dealers in Geneva and Zurich, along with estate agents in the Cotswolds, will be praying fervently that Dame Doolally succeeds in spaffing £100m of CofE money up against the Reparations Wall.
Poor old C of E.
Mullally is the latest in a line of utter puddings.
But I like puddings. However, her credibility has certainly crumbled.
Who’s the overweight bloke in the beach towel?
And why’s he sharing his throne room with that other bloke in the russet frock?
“King Arday I, descended miraculously down from Heaven in a cloud of white dust and into his waiting lap, thereby confirming him as the rightful ruler of the land”
So now Arday claims to be a king from heaven!?🫢
And was miraculously cured of his muteness, although not his hairline leg fracture as this would make running 600 miles in 6 days seem less impressive.
Tbh I’m not sure if these claims about King Arday I are part of Ghanian myth or added in for comic effect.
He has reportedly been found dead in non suspicious circumstances. Possibly a tragic victim of the woke experiment.
I had to stop reading this article halfway through because it was making me feel so angry. It gives the expression Pot Kettle Black a whole new hinterland of meaning.
As for Dame Sarah, words did not fail me when I wrote to her last year when she was still Bishop of London. I told her that I fully agreed that reparations were due, but not for the supposed sins of our ancestors with regard to the slave trade, but rather to those today who are living with the life-changing harmful effects of the covid injections which she and her fellow clergy from many denominations were urging on us ‘as an act of love for our neighbour’.
Furthermore and moreover, I asked her to abandon her net zero ambitions, not least because of the precious metals and minerals required for various components of windmills, solar farms, mobile phones, computers etc. These minerals are mined, inter alia, by child slaves in Africa today: we rightly sorrow for the white child slaves in mills and mines in England in the 19th century, but where is the righteous anger about black children today? Do their black lives not matter?
She did not reply… Read more »
This embarrassing Archbishop and Project Spire is yet another demotivating kick in the teeth to people who give their time and money to try to keep their local church going, not necessarily from much sense of religious zeal but more out of an effort to keep a bit of traditional Englishness alive.
Hear hear.
Was the Archpriestess of Canterbury worshipping the golden calf?
Only the defeated pay reparations. Such as the Germans after the First World War and the Chinese after the Boxer Rebellion.
But you get what the Archpriestess is doing? In making her apology she gains all the kudos of making it while heaping all the opprobrium onto the people of the past.
“Look, Lord, look at my portfolio of mighty apologies. I thank Thee, Lord, that I am not as other men are, like those slavers. I collect tithes from my flock – I don’t know why they object to being fleeced, after all, they are sheep and I am their shepherd – and give this largesse to people that have no right to it just to prove to Thee my credentials for admittance to the kingdom of heavenly progressives.”
