Britain's Daily Mail reports that Home Office staff have been sent on a course entitled Wicca - A Guide To Modern Witchcraft. The course was part of a week-long 'adult learners' program which also included waltzing lessons and Japanese for beginners.
A spokesman would not comment on the cost of the scheme, but said each course lasted about an hour and a half, and most were done over lunchtime to avoid as much disruption as possible.
