Swan step too far
This is the greatest story i’ve read for a long time. A middle-aged Muslim man gets hungry after just two days of fasting for Ramadan, so what does he do?
a) Nip to McDonalds in secret for a Filet o’ Fish
b) Eat a biscuit
c) Go down to the local pond, slit the throat of a swan, then savage it with his teeth.
The enduring image for me is of the perpetrator, Shamsu Miah, being caught quite literally red-handed with blood on his shirt and white feathers in his beard. ‘Who me officer? I was just looking after it for a friend.’
Brilliant.

Swans are responsible for over 28.2% of broken arms each year in the UK. I can't believe Miah (Assalaamu Alaikum) didn't get both his arms broken during his ordeal. Something should be done about swans, Miah (Assalaamu Alaikum) has taken a small step in the right direction.
"A probation officer had said she believed there was a low risk of Miah re-offending"
ha!
at least swans can rest safely
