Summary
Over 14,000 children in England have been accused of witchcraft since 2015, with 2,180 cases in the past year alone, according to the National FGM Centre.
The film Kindoki Witch Boy, released on the 25th anniversary of Victoria Climbié’s death, tells Mardoche Yembi’s true story of surviving a childhood exorcism.
Climbié was tortured to death in 2000 after similar accusations. Yembi hopes the film raises awareness and helps victims.
Yes, but not because of the witchcraft stuff. They use royal titles. People unironically say “Sir Mick Jagger.”
Or President X, or General Y, or Mr Secretary, even for people who no longer hold those positions.
And for the record, Sir is an ancient military title just like Captain.
What war was Mick Jagger in?
Every country has its own aristocracy. They just don’t necessarily call it that.
I realize that. I was just joking. Lighthearted jokes about England usually land but I guess that one didn’t. C’est la vie.
La vie
