Colin from Portsmouth has detected a war on Easter, and his brilliantly rabid rant is just spectacular
After the Chair of the National Trust (NT) received a CBE in the New Year’s Honours List, not everybody was thrilled. Like this person.
As the community note clarifies, NT calendars do include Easter, as well as Christmas, Eid, Diwali and Hanukkah.
But the misunderstanding – and Jake Berry’s rant about Tesco selling Easter eggs in January – had already come to the attention of a concerned citizen, Colin from Portsmouth, and both bodies came in for a proper Colin savaging.
"Tesco are selling Easter eggs a bit earlier than usual. It's disgusting! What if Jesus saw? The poor kid's only just been born and they're asking us to think about his death!"

“Chocolate eggs trail during the Spring Bunny season – can’t even say the day of his rising.”
“Great tea rooms, though. Very reasonably priced.”

The Daily Mail readeresque creation of Mark Davison and Anthony Richardson of The Exploding Heads hit the sweet spot for viewers.

As a Somerset dwelling member of the National Trust I would like to berate you for not giving me enough time to get my fainting couch ready. Lucky I was sitting down as what with the Dr's strike AND Easter eggs I took a nasty turn.

Wow… every day's a schoolday!
I had no idea Easter was about Baby Jee's death…
I thought he laid an egg under a burning bush and filled it with smarties by his word… or summink.
Yet again, Colin speaks that we may learn.
Blessed is he.— Squit Diddly (@MeinNekky) January 3, 2024

Can you imagine what they would be saying if the sale of Easter Eggs was banned until March? https://t.co/N6mjDTEX5h

“And if the media have got it wrong, I’d have to re-evaluate everything I know with a critical eye….and I’m not prepared to do that”
Once again, Colin nails it once again in 2024 https://t.co/Yb5OPQ8wvD

The National Trust’s Director of Communications spotted the grudging praise.
Even Colin from Portsmouth can’t fault the National Trust’s tea rooms. Thanks for the feedback as ever, Colin. Love to the family. https://t.co/AB1F5LmDNQ
