I applied to join the Pagan Police Group UK, in order to peruse their fascinating web site more fully.

To my chagrin, I just received the following email:

Hi toad,

Your request to join

http://paganpolicegroupuk.moonfruit.com

has not been accepted. The website owner gave the following reason: (if any)

No reason was given. I am left to ponder why: am I not pagan enough? – I did put down “Anglican”; I have a cousin who is a retired policeman, so it can’t be that; I am respectful of other religions, so it can’t be that; I am left with the inescapable conclusion that they fear that, being Welsh, lactating sheep might find me more appealing than the average English policeman and they don’t relish the competition. Sad, really.
