I’ve never been keen on pagans. They strike me as attention seekers with no actual merits to boast of except saying that they don’t believe in organised religion – something most of us got over at 15.

Claiming to be a pagan is also a way of hinting that you’re having better sex than everybody else, whereas the reality is rather like that of those alleged ‘witches’ who oft appeared in the News of the World when I was a child. Middle-aged suburban swingers sporting pendulous breasts and maternal thighs, posing coyly inside a pentagram – and the women were just as bad.

Pagans remind me of those idiots who bang on about former lives, but they’re always Cleopatra – never her slaves

Still, a vote’s a vote, and the state the Scottish Nationals are in, they’d do best to court all comers, no matter how much of a minority.
