For the "master race" they sure do have a lot of harelips, don't they?

From the forum of the every lovable "Landover Baptist Church"...

"The Invisible Empire? There is, as far as I know, only one of them and it is in existence as I write. I speak of course of The Invisible Empire, The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

I can’t see that they would harm any God-Fearing True Christian™ - Catlix were a different matter but there were none around our area. The Klan has been maligned for years, I can’t see why. They are no more than a welfare and social club dedicated to helping people overcome their difficulties.

I append a photograph of an article from my father’s press-cuttings book. I remember these characters coming round and distributing gifts at Christmas. It was a job they took on willingly as there were no servants about at the time. (Although they seemed to appear quickly enough when they had gone.)"



"I remember, in the late thirties, being given such gifts as a “N.B.Forrest” set of miniature Inflammable Crosses, a game of “Pin the nose on the Jew”, and “Catch the Uppity Darkie.” That last one was fun.

On the social side, they also produced some fun songs: Here’s one we Bathfires still often sing:"
