Wow
I saw this article in the Metro today, and my jaw just dropped.
Now, you all know I'm not a massive fan of religion. In fact, I'm not a fan at all, but this goes beyond even what I find acceptable and goes straight into 'oh wait, hang on now'.
It might be because I've got some pagan friends, and can imagine what their reactions would be at having their religion described as that practised in The Wicker Man. I mean, I love that film, but saying that it's an accurate description of modern pagans is like saying Jude Suss is an accurate portrayl of Jews.
Seriously Metro, wtf? It was on the front page too, I'm looking forward to seeing tomorrow's opinion's page.

Goebbels was pretty strange- at the end of the war with the Red Army closing in on Berlin, he's pulling troops out of the front line to act as extras in 'Kolberg' for Pete's sake! Admittedly, the result is something remarkable which is now almost forgotten.
