AND FINALLY

Pent up Pagan police are now campaigning for an officially recognised support group – a Pagan Police Association. Well it can’t be easy concentrating on your mantras when the Chief Super is breathing down your neck...

Pentagram-carrying Pagan police are already allowed up to eight days annual leave which they can take off and join all the hippies at the solstice and equinox, but presumably not to skin up a big spliff.

Pagan cop Andy Pardy, from Hertfordshire told Police Review: “Paganism is not the new age, tree-hugging fad that some people think it is” (Maybe you’re more into pig worship). “It is not the clandestine, horrible, evil thing that people think it is.” (No Andy, that’s MI5.)

SchNEWS wonders what is next... Satanist or Jedi Police Associations?
