Moseley was rocked this week by the twin evils of religious intolerance and wanton vandalism. Early one morning some vandals erected two pieces of wood in a sort of cross formation in the centre of our newly refurbished urban living space. This act was particularly inappropriate as it happened in the run up to the Easter weekend. A local vicar told us “It sickens me that there are people in this community that don’t respect our religion. It is Easter you know and I don’t think going about erecting large wooden crosses is in very good taste.”

The suspects are either kids with access to wood or a local carpenter. The police are currently carrying out investigations and expect the culprits to be brought to justice. The police told us “It’s a good bit of wood that. I expect once everyone’s had a good laugh the people who put it there are going to want it back. We’ll wait. Maybe we could nail them to it.”

We have been asked to remind people that Easter is not about nailing people to crosses but about eating chocolate eggs and rabbits.
