Police guidelines on how to behave while trapped in a wicker man

I expect we will hear from 'elf and safety next.

The 300-page guidebook has been updated to recognise the religious sensitivities of those who worship nature, which actually exists, as opposed to an angry man in the sky who keeps massive jars of plague.

A Police Federation spokesman said: "During stressful situations there is a tendency to use hurtful or insensitive language, especially if you're trapped in a massive, highly flammable corn dolly while an entire village gambols around it with lit branches singing folk songs about 'ye offerings'.

Oh so related: Sample offerings.

Also related: Yet another instance of ersatz environmentalists/tree worshippers lacking a rudimentary grasp of causation, let alone systems relationships in the environment or the economy. My faith in the Enlightenment is restored by the comments section. Possible photo accompaniment of the year though.
