Two Poles jailed for throwing bacon at a mosque
 

Islamophobia and immigration, all the Express needed was to somehow link this case to 100 days of subzero temperatures this winter and they would have achieved the Holy Trinity

:joker: No, the extreme weather is a combination of Trump and Farage's fault. :hee:

I just hope that it wasn't Danish bacon.

Jews have been putting up with this kind of stuff for years. It only becomes a problem now... I can't think why.

True Liv, but I can think why - in FACT I KNOW why.

Its the prison service I feel sorry for

It isn't right for anyone, that's why we have hate laws now.

Seems a bit extreme of a sentence... there was no threat to anyone's life...and it wasn't premeditated or an ongoing attack. I feel like they are being made an example of given the socio climate in your country... but having followed hate crime trials here in the Canadian judicial system before, I don't think such a severe sentence would have occurred here

Hate crimes are rising, this may be a deterrent let's hope so.

reported hate crimes or actual investigated hate crimes?

It must be TRULY killing some anti-British British people in the UK today, that this act was committed by two of their BELOVED immigrants against their beloved Muslims, and NOT by two white indigenous Brits.

My heart bleeds for them - all that LOST opportunity to weep and wail and cry:

"Down dirty Racist, Xenophobic, Islamophobic British, down".

Eh, I can see how this is a hate crime. But it takes the piss a bit when you would get less time for actually assaulting someone than for throwing bacon

The real crime here is the waste of bacon tbh

Actual reported and investigated arrests made in the news and on TV crimes.

I agree Mokka - Extreme is the word. A case of trying too hard to appease and show that Justice is being SEEN to be done.

:laugh: I see no porkies. :hee:

what like on The Bill?

:shrug:

*throws sausages at a church*

It was a Ham crime.

*throws communion wafers at the Pope *

surely this is a small fry crime?

Will this include then those 'Hate Crimes' perpetrated by baying, snarling Muslim extremists who screamed 'baby killers' and 'rapists' at soldiers from 2nd Battalion Royal Anglian Regiment parading through Luton after a tour of duty in Iraq.

Or those Hate Crimes committed by the baying, snarling Muslim Extremists calling themselves; 'Muslims Against the Crusades', who physically assaulted onlookers and screamed obscenities and SPAT upon British Soldiers at another British Soldiers Homecoming Parade in Barking Essex.

Or the Hate Crimes committed by Islamic Fanatics who burnt a giant poppy whilst screaming; "British Soldiers Burn In Hell" and other obscenities ON REMEMBRANCE DAY during the two minutes silence to HONOUR our fallen War Dead?

:laugh: A RASHER act I have never witnessed. :hee:

:laugh::laugh::laugh: I agree - I don't know why they got PANNED for it. :hee:

:laugh: Should have been tried by Judge RINDer. :hee:

They were drunk? A heavy fine would be much more fitting than wasting tax payers money on them
