Residents of a road in Walsall in the Midlands, venturing out in sub-zero temperatures yesterday for a bit of shopping and that, were horrified by the sight of a bloke crucified up a telegraph pole - in a bizarre protest.
The bloke, wearing only a loincloth and a crown of thorns, looking a bit like Jesus out of the Bible only out of context with it being the Midlands and that, bore his crucifixion like a man for over thirty minutes. Until members of the local constabulary came along and told him to stop playing silly buggers and get down, this minute.
The protester complied with police commands, clambered down, and was handcuffed before being taken to the local psychiatric institution, Moorview, in Selly Oak.
Police inquiries revealed that the nutter was protesting because he had the hump with his doctor, who had previously refused the nutter's requests to be prescribed LSD and magic mushrooms.
Bystanders were amazed that the nutter didn't die of exposure in the freezing temperatures. Or at least get a nasty chill. One observer commented that the marrow in the nutter's back would dry up, because the cold was just as bad as the heat for drying up bone marrow.
A second observer told the first observer to stop talking bollocks before all the observers were moved on by a police officer with a big red nose. Who informed them that crucifixion was not funny, and certainly not a laughing matter.
More as we get it.
