39-year-old Neil Masterson of London, living the dream.

There are many people out there looking forward to shaking his hand and maybe buying him a pint. He will be telling that story in pubs for years.

Best news all day. Too bad the beating wasn’t more severe. He is a despicable Nazi pig.

Are hostile Muslims charged with the same crime classification?
