British thug who wore T-shirt with 'one less pig' slogan hours after murders of two policewomen is jailed for eight months
Rather lame that a opinion you write on your shirt can send you to jail but that's Britain
A man who wore a T-shirt with offensive comments about the murders of Pc Fiona Bone and Pc Nicola Hughes on it just hours after they died has been sentenced to eight months in prison.
Barry Thew, 39, who has a lengthy criminal record, wore a T-shirt with ‘One less pig: Perfect justice’ hand-written on it the same day the two women police officers were gunned down.
Thew, of Radcliffe, Greater Manchester, admitted a Section 4A Public Order Offence (displaying writing or other visible representation with intention of causing harassment, alarm or distress) and was sentenced at Minshull Street Crown Court today.
He was jailed for four months and ordered to serve another four months, consecutively, after he admitted breaching a suspended sentence order imposed for an earlier offence of cannabis production.
The sentence, at Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court, means he was jailed for a total of eight months. He will likely serve only half of that in custody.
Thew, who has 29 sets of previous convictions for 77 offences since 1983, appeared shaken as he was led away from the dock to serve his sentence.
Mr Duke said Thew has a long-standing dispute with Greater Manchester Police over the death of his son three years ago and repeated 'stop and search' procedures. 'It is an on-going dispute between Mr Thew and Greater Manchester Police. He feels victimised and picked on.
PCs Nicola Hughes, 23, and Fiona Bone, 32, were killed on duty in a gun and grenade attack after they responded to a routine call about reports of a burglary at an address in Abbey Gardens.
Dale Cregan, 29, has been charged with their murders, the murders of father and son David and Mark Short and four other counts of attempted murder.

When this jerk dies there,ll be one less cockroach
So it was more than just an opinion on a t-shirt that got him 8 months in jail (theoretically), and so JJ's initial remarks are thus very misleading!
"JJ's initial remarks are thus very misleading!"
That's the right wing for ya.
Nice to see some small remnants of actual justice surviving in Britain amidst all the political correctness and Sharia Law. As this cretin found out, there is no such thing as, "total freedom", freedom without any responsibility for what you say and/or do.
But there is something else that's been made visible by this story. Woman have no place in front-line, real-world police work. There are thousands of examples of this in America, and most other western nations.
Two more lives lost in the name of "diversity and political correctness".
Sad that even those on this site cannot support the basic freedom this site was built on.
What happened to the policewomen was terrible and the t-shirt may well have been offensive.
SO WHAT.
There is no protection from being offended and there should be no criminal sanction for expressing an opinion - even an intentionally obnoxious one.
Luckily there is starting be be a backlash against these ridiculous decisions.
Englandstan is rapidly becoming nazistan.
He's either brain-dead, or his lawyer sucks.
Had he written, "TWO less pigS..." he could have been liable, but "ONE less pig" does not necessarily mean he was directly referring to the TWO police officers shot.
