Church of the Holy Chav

From today's Times:

Bluewater’s management emphasises that it will be implementing the policy sensitively. “It will be up to staff to decide if people have to remove their caps or hoods or be asked to leave the premises. It is about groups of people that make others feel threatened, not ordinary shoppers,” a spokeswoman said. People wearing headgear for religious reasons were not affected, she added.

Oh, so that's alright then. I'll just pull on my Burberry baseball cap and black hoody and rush down there to tell them about the Church of the Holy Chav, and if anybody gets shirty I might ask them why they don't eject those ladies in the mobile tents.

Chav is defined thusly.

Transcendent thatly.

I suppose that if one were to posit the existence of an unknowable Messiah Chav, and claim to be His prophet, then, due to the inherent difficulty in verifying the authenticity of the Burberry "Shroud of Halifax" etc., one could wield great power and influence in West Yorkshire.

Although I would counsel against the inclusion, in your myth-making, of a holy virgin. One doesn't want one's new religion to be wholly unbelievable.

Or, indeed, erased from a subway wall by the local corporation - or should that be disincorporation?
Incidentally... I know the bloody definitions, all right? And the phenomenological one seems to have been forgotten when Heidegger made a dogs breakfast of Husserl, so tell me about it.
