Further details

On his way to holy confession in case he gets killed at a football match, Kevin walks into the middle of a race riot and gets walloped and arrested.

When Young Dick finds out that Kevin has doubled his chance of getting to heaven by being both Catholic and Muslim, he is ever so slightly appalled. Naturally, a full, fiery debate about the state of racial relations, the history of empire, and peoples' 'proper' treatment is soon flowing on the shop floor.
