Deaf Man Who Signed ‘Pig’ At Policeman Given Conditional Discharge
A man with a hearing disability from Kendal, Cumbria, was arrested after saying 'pig' in sign language to a police officer, a court heard.
South Cumbria Magistrates Court was told that police were called to McDonalds on Stricklandgate after reports of a man 'causing difficulties'. Linley Hassan, 25, of no fixed address, refused to leave the restaurant and became 'confrontational' with the police.
Peter Kelly, prosecuting, said: "He was making a sign that the officer, who understood sign language, knew to mean 'pig'." In mitigation, John Batty said Hassan had had a volatile existence of late and had been going to great lengths to reduce his alcohol intake. Hassan pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly. He was given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay a £15 victim surcharge and a £30 contribution towards court costs.

Denzil A.K.A - Bleak Times Gone
May I be so bold as to share my other half's latest song with you. Smout, who hails from Larne, Northern Ireland writes and performs most of the work himself, with occasional guest appearances. Let the sound of Denzil A.K.A fill your ears like a warm rhubarb tart and leave your feet at a nice temperature. Just right.
