A policeman has been fired from the Cumbria force for gross misconduct after making a Facebook comment that was judged as likely to cause offence to Muslims.

Ross Lister, a serving PC in Barrow-in-Furness for three years, was dismissed following a Misconduct Special Case Hearing at Cumbria Constabulary headquarters, the North-West Evening Mail reported Tuesday.

Speaking at the hearing, Chief Constable Jerry Graham said: “The conduct admitted by PC Lister today … refers to a Facebook post that he wrote that he either knew or should have known, or at least reasonably have foreseen, would have caused offence and be considered derogatory to members of the Muslim faith and by people of other faiths and none.

“PC Lister’s behaviour and judgement has fallen so far below the standards expected that I have decided to dismiss him from the constabulary without notice.”

The exact contents of the comment, which was left on another post and deleted days later, were not made public during the course of the trial.

According to the paper, the comment in question was on a post about the consequences for terrorists, former PC Lister wrote: “What? Wrap them in bacon?”

The former police constable is far from the first to have found themselves in trouble with the law for irresponsible use of bacon. In June, Alex Chivers was jailed for six months for assaulting two Muslims in a north London street with a “slab of bacon”….

Can’t be having that. However he’d most likely be promoted for agreeing with the muzzies about killing folks because they’re infidels.

The spirit of Blackjack Pershing lives on in those who love liberty. In a sane time, the Policeman would have been promoted

When they rape and then sell the UK girls,
their police are quiet, like their judges.

QUIET for the rapes and acid attacks,
but if anyone protests the murders and attacks
and rapes of children .... they are canned.

BYE England. You had a good run.

Political correctness run amok. The man insulted freaking terrorists, for Pete’s sake.

England is dead.

Would they fire a muzzy for shooting an innocent civilian?
BTW, what happened to the muzzy in minneapolis who shot an innocent woman? The story has been intentionally suppressed.

If any of us were his employer we would give him a promotion and a nice corner office.

The Muslim prohibition against the use of pork should not be a religious conviction. When the restriction was made, it was an effort to conserve water in the arid climate where pigs were being raised. Pigs were found to require more water than other animals raised for protein. It was a practical matter to discourage their use. This restriction is irrelevant and unnecessary today.

Pigs were not restricted because of their transmission of Trichinosis. The science necessary to understand the connection of the Trichinella spiralis to its effects on the body was not invented.

Right; because raping women or stabbing someone or cutting their heads off in the middle of the street is fine but saying something offensive about a devil worshiping cult is just not done.

Talk about the world being upside down when it comes to Islam. Say the same thing about a Christian and it's no problem but say it about a muzzie and everyone gets their panties in a wad.

Whomever made the decision to fire that person should be fired and fined heavily.

Political correctness gone astray is what I would say.

England needs to start letting these folks go back to their shit hole countries instead of screwing up another country with their demands. What is really amazing to us is that the authorities in England all cave in to their demands.

This is the main reason we all like President Trump.
