Mr. Plod the pagan:
We’ve got a Black Police Association, a Gay Police Association, a Muslim Police Association and now – stop tittering at the back – a Pagan Police Association.
The Home Office has agreed to the establishment of a support group for officers who practise Paganism and witchcraft. Druids and Wicca worshippers will also be welcome to join.
A spokesman said: ‘The Government wants a police service that reflects the diverse communities it serves. It is down to individual forces to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate the religion or beliefs of individual officers.’
I notice that no mention is made of a Christian Police Association; perhaps it does exist but is in hiding. After all, Christians in Britain get arrested for the hate crime of passing out gospel tracts:
A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets in a predominantly Muslim area of Birmingham.
The evangelists say they were threatened with arrest for committing a “hate crime” and were told they risked being beaten up if they returned.
