Father of two, Robinson Thompson, was today sentenced to five years imprisonment for walking past a fasting muslim eating a packet of crisps. On passing down the sentence Judge Mohammed Khan said Thompson might have avoided a custodial sentence had the crisps not been smoky bacon flavour. From the steps of Leeds Crown Court, Thompson’s solicitor commented that it was particularly unfortunate because Thompson normally preferred cheese and onion but, on that particular day, he fancied something different.

Harbal: It's not a joke and the scumbag Pakistanis are now in prison. What I won't take seriously is Americans thinking they know what's going on here better than we do.
I never claimed to know more about what is going on there. All I did was link to articles and videos about it. But if your country orders a news black out on certain events and we still have a free press, then it is possible we will be better informed.
It's not a joke Harbal. The story was on a lot of sites until your government ordered a news blackout. Then they started pulling their stories. It is all over twitter. You should be concerned. I think the fact that the UK government is censoring news about the arrest will become the biggest story.
