Young people in west Reading are working with community artist Lord Summerisle to build a large combustible structure (a 'wicker man') in the shape of former councillor Jon Howarth.

Lord Summerisle was excited by the prospect of bringing together groups of young people aged 13-19 by enabling them to work on a joint project. He told us about his plans: "Animals are fine, but their acceptability is limited. A small child is even better, but not NEARLY as effective as the right kind of council official or councillor."

If you would like to involve your child in satanic rituals please contact Head High Priestess Anita Cacchioli, Reading Borough Council Pagan Rites Department, or as it is otherwise more commonly known, Culture and Sport.
