  1. 6 months in jail for smearing bacon on a building lmao. Bit of a dick move but it’s abhorrent for the government to be enforcing blasphemy in this country. We’ll be having government-approved religious police in no time and government-funded Islamic police shortly after when politically feasible.

  2. ‘Marcus Edwards, 44, recorded himself smearing rashers on a mosque’

    ‘He claimed online that he would get away with it and that he would “trash a mosque every day”’

    High IQ play.

  3. > “Within five days, he has been identified, convicted and faced the full force of the law.”

    But the police don’t have the resources to solve burglaries.

  4. We should have the right to offend and make fun of religions if we want.

    edit – having thought about this it clearly is criminal damage so I guess he deserved some punishment. but still sending someone to prison for putting bacon on a door is over the top

  5. Jailed for criminal damage, having admitted he would “trash a mosque every day”. What a prick

  6. I’d say he ruined his life, but tbh this man never had one

  7. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to clearly show their desire to intimidate communities in this thread.

    “why ize we cannot joke”…

    Please feel free to joke about religions (if it’s just one in specific you want to joke about, even that is okay!). This is clearly not a joke and its intention was not to be a joke.

  8. Didn’t the last guy who pulled this stuff get murdered in prison? High risk game.

    Edit: apparently he overdosed on morphine and diazepam.

  9. Why do the sort of dullards who do this think pork is some magical kryptonite for Muslims? They seem to think it’ll cause Muslims who go anywhere near it to burst into flames or something.

  10. Is this the case from a while ago finally being sentenced or are there multiple instances of this?

  11. My favourite part about when people do this is that they must think that Muslims are scared of bacon or something? They just can’t eat it, it isn’t like garlic to vampires where they’ll melt if they come in contact with it.

  12. That’s terrible. How could he waste perfectly fine bacon like that?

  13. Genuine question but what law is this actually breaking

  14. These are some overly harsh – police state-esque – sentences, that benefit know one

  15. I imagine the destruction of the Catholic church which happened a few weeks ago will at least be met with the same consequences, right?

  16. Genuinely looks like a cock in the thumbnail. Behaves like one too, it seems.

  17. ‘Criminal damage’ and ‘racially/religiously motivated criminal damage’.

    Now, it’s a pretty classless thing to do….but ‘damage’? You can clean that up with a wet wipe. I think we’re pushing the meaning of ‘damage’ in a criminal context way past the edge here.

  18. Imagine what a gormless cunt you must have to be to choose to do this with your spare time

  19. What’ a nobhead……most mornings a Muslim guy whips me up a pukka bacon sandwich at my local Greggs.

    They just don’t eat it….but they aren’t as horrified as you hope.

    Not to mention that’s a damn waste of good bacon!!

  20. Who remembers when that happened to the synagogue in ?Swansea and the chairman said in the Today programme that in the scheme of things it was quite funny.

    As I recall he also denied there had been swastikas painted on the walls. They were the wrong way round.

  21. Starlet’s lost control of the country in two months lmao
