Private Eye spoof Blairite Lord's Prayer

The other day, as I was having a conversation, I recalled a spoof "Blairite" or 2New Labour" revision of the Lord's Prayer that must have been in Private Eye, probably sometime in the 1990s. The only bit I can remember is that "hallowed be thy name" was replaced with "you are a very special person"; the rest was of course in the same vein. This is obvs a long shot, but I wonder if anyone else can remember, and better yet, find this? Googling has failed me. If someone can suggest a forum where this question would be better at home, that would be greatly appreciated! --Rallette (talk) 09:07, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

It was perhaps in the TV show based on St Albion Parish News. Nanonic (talk) 15:53, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
