Original Note:
Some context, as well as a source, is required on this story (see below). The man was likely not jailed for blasphemy but rather for causing disorder and "making threatening gestures towards police." That said, details on sentencing for the case appear to be ambiguous. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/sutton-man-61-chanted-f-151500758.html https://isitlegal.co.uk/is-it-legal-to-swear-at-a-police-officer-in-the-uk/
