Hundreds of criminals are to be given four days a year off prison work - to celebrate pagan festivals.

Prison governors have been issued with a list of eight annual pagan holidays and told pagan inmates can choose four to celebrate.

The festivals include Imbolc - The Festival of the Lactating Sheep - which falls on February 1 and is dedicated to the goddess Brighid. the rest

And why shouldn't pagans have their own special holiday time?

What is ridiculous is that Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim employees of British Rail and other public transport networks take Christmas off, shutting the transport network down when the majority of the population most need it!
