Prison newspaper pulps 50,000 copies over fears cartoon of bearded pig in turban would offend Muslims

What, you mean this one?



A prison newspaper has been withdrawn for publishing a satirical cartoon of a bearded pig dressed in a turban.

Almost 50,000 copies of Inside Time were pulped as jail bosses took offence at the illustration accompanying the article ‘Porky’s Revenge’.

The piece, written by an inmate at Hull Prison, suggested that swine flu was the result of a failed plot by Osama Bin Laden to ‘eradicate every pig in Christendom’.

Andy Thackwray’s article was accompanied by an image of a bearded, turbanned pig standing on its hind legs and sneezing.

The Ministry of Justice said it was ‘extremely concerned’ that the article and cartoon might offend the Muslim prison population.

Diversity chiefs at Wormwood Scrubs prison in West London contacted magazine officials and the June issues were withdrawn - at a cost of up to £20,000.

The monthly independent publication will be reprinted without the offending pieces.

A senior prison source said: ‘There’s been a complete overreaction to this article. It’s insane political correctness.

‘We shouldn’t be worried about poking fun at the world’s most notorious terrorist, nor his dozens of followers in the prison system.’

The Ministry of Justice said: ‘As soon as we were aware, an instruction was issued to prisons to remove all copies of the relevant edition where this is practicable and we have raised the matter with the editorial team of Inside Time.

‘We would like to reiterate that the Prison Service is committed to ensuring that all prisoners are treated with decency and humanity, by staff and other prisoners, which includes respecting those of all religions.’

As of June 2007, there were 8,864 Muslim inmates out of a then prison population of 79,734.

The total has since risen to 84,000.

Pig Flu? My arse! All this ooh ahh about rogue-gene-piggypox-bacteria-swine-bollocks is nothing more than a Government conspiracy to blag us all from finding out the truth about how this contagious virus actually came into being. Who does that bloody Gordon Brown think he’s kidding? Certainly not me! You see, I know the real origin of this so-called pig flu. Oh yes; there’s no two ways about it: it came into fruition from a botched, Muslim-led act of terrorism. All part of Osama Bin Laden’s global ‘war on pork’.

C’mon, it’s common knowledge to all and sundry that not only do the bloody Taliban have a grudge about everything except facial hair, but in particular they can be seen as being extremely prejudiced against the West’s vast population of porkers. So, to try and get in Allah’s good books, Bin Laden created his own ‘halal flu virus’ with the intention of eradicating every pig in Christendom, and by doing so piss off all Westerners by denying us our daily bacon.

Initially, Bin Laden’s war on pork was targeted to disrupt and inconvenience the Americans the most, because Osama and his boys are fully aware that the yanks are a nation of clinically obese lard arses who can’t function properly without their McRibs, hog roasts and occasional wild boar shoot. C’mon, can you imagine McDonalds without any bloody pork? It would be akin to Jodie Marsh without tits – nobody would want to go there!

Yes, not too long ago in a cave somewhere in deepest Afghanistan, our bearded foe created his halal flu virus to totally wipe out the pigs of the Western world, and hopefully see the end of pork as we know it. Only trouble was, the young terrorist Bin Laden hand-picked to fly across the Atlantic to carry out the wicked deed was not only a goat short of a full flock, he’d also never ventured out of his village before. So, with geography not being one of his strong points, coupled with his poor command of the English language, it’s not surprising that he got off the plane one stop early thinking he was in Kansas, America when really he was in Cancun, Mexico. There, he set the Bin Laden flu virus free on a Mexican pig farm instead of on an American one as planned – what a knob!

However, with brave, fairytale-style resilience, our little Mexican snouted amigos thwarted Bin Laden’s plan by quickly building up an immunity against his weak, cave-made, halal flu strain and, just like with the big bad wolf , the little swines saw the virus off and came out the winners - not even Al Qaeda could ‘blow their house down.’ The pigs got their revenge too by completely buggering up Mexico’s tourist industry by passing a more complex and stronger strain of Bin Laden flu back onto us humans, a strain which is at present spreading globally, faster than shit off a shiny shovel.

So, thanks to the resilience of our little pink pals, Bin Laden’s war on pork backfired. His stupid bloody idea had more cracks in it than London Ladies College. And the irony of it is: the only ones making ‘a killing’ out of Bin Laden’s war on pork are the bloody American owned pharmaceutical companies. Who’s a daft bearded bastard then?
So there you have it folks; forget all that bloody conspiracy bollocks in the mainstream media, you heard ‘the truth’ first here in Angry Andy’s Column. “May the pork be with you!”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
