Wad a stress load

Terror hero is spared

-

THE “Lion of London Bridge” who fought off machete-wielding jihadis was spared jail after a racist rant.

Roy Larner, 48, was repeatedly stabbed in the terror attack and famously roared: “F*** you, I’m Millwall.”

But as Larner recovered a video emerged of him spitting at a black photograph­er.

A little over a month later he launched into a racist outburst at the office of MP Neil Coyle in Brixton, south London.

He said: “All Muslims are the same – scum,” and referred to Muslims as being “pig eating c***s”, Inner London Crown Court was told.

Christophe­r SurteesJon­es, defending, said Larner accepted “the words are disgusting and it is very, very wrong .”

The judge said: “Nobody should be subjected to the kind of racist abuse, also involving spitting, that this complainan­t was.”

Larner, of Brixton, admitted racially aggravated common assault and religiousl­y aggravated harassment.

He was sentenced to eight weeks, suspended for 12 months, for spitting on the photograph­er and fined £50 for his anti-Islam abuse. LOSING a wallet is the main trigger of stress.

Leaving a bag on public transport, a missing pet, losing a bank card and breaking down in a car are also in the top 10.

The research into everyday “micro stresses” was by Vodafone UK.
