A MAN has been charged with a public order offence after wearing a t-shirt which bore an allegedly offensive statement about the victims of the Hillsborough disaster, reports the Worcester News.

West Mercia Police has named the man as Paul Grange, aged 50, from Worcester.

Mr Grange has been charged with a Section 5 Public Order offence, relating to the display of threatening and abusive signs and writing, likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress.

He has been bailed and will appear at Worcester Magistrates' Court on a date to be confirmed in July.

A photograph of a man sitting in the pub garden of the Brewers Arms in Comer Road, St John's, Worcester, sparked outrage worldwide after it was posted across social media sites on Sunday night.

The black t-shirt refers to the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 people died, and allegedly states the tragedy was "God's way" of aiding a pest control company.

A WHEELCHAIR-bound grandmother who tried to smuggle drugs inside her vagina into Durham prison for two killers has been jailed, reports the Northern Echo.

June Brogden, whose grandsons Anthony Middleton and David Sowerby, are serving life sentences for murder, pleaded guilty but claimed she was the victim of an elaborate set-up.

However, Judge Christopher Prince said he "had no hesitation in determining that the account you gave was untrue".

Brogden, 60, from Hartlepool, smuggled 2.73g of Herbal Spice, a cannabis-type so called "legal high" - prohibited in prison - and 354mg of heroin substitute Subutex, a Class C controlled drug, into the prison, internally.

Durham Crown Court heard that Brogden had been jailed for three years in 1997 for possession, with intent to supply, LSD. In that case she had also hidden the drugs in her vagina.
