Freemasons

[Robot Chicken]

Incidentally, there's a lot of evidence that Jack the Ripper was a freemason and that this ensured that his identity was never revealed.

My lord, I beg to differ

When carefully examined, there is not a single piece of solid historical evidence to support Stephen Knight’s claims of Masonic involvement in the Ripper murders, a theme central to several books and films, including From Hell, the recent graphic novel and film by the same tile. On the contrary, there is considerable evidence refuting these allegations. Armed with the facts, Masons should have no difficulty responding to alleged Masonic connections to the Jack the Ripper crimes.

Unfortunately, Stephen Knight died in unfortunate circumstances. He's not available to counter the masonic attacks on his books.

The worrying thing about Freemasonry is that a fellow Freemason will always put a fellow Mason first regardless of truth or justice.

Hence the corruption allegations.

Don't agree, Yorkie. They say it's simarlar to a golf club - If a member breaks the rules he has to suffer the result of his actions.

It's almost like a church member putting another church member before the law.

A local freemason broke the law - and he's going to jail

The problem with Freemasonry is that as a secretive society it is open to all sorts of allegations. There is no doubt that in the past some masons have used the society in a way that isn't consistent with a modern democratic society. However this side of the masons has declined in the last twenty years.

Methinks your prejudices are clearly showing.

Yeah some right upstanding people in that list that I would just love to be associated with. A few fascists, a couple of war mongers, a pile of inbred twats that are born into a position that means that we are meant to accept them as the head of state, some of those nice capitalists who screw us for our own good and do not get me started on Prince Phillip.

Come the revolution, the masons are also now on the list to be dealt with (well it is Friday).
