I spotted this in Metro, but couldn't find trace of it on This Is London so had to go to the local paper, which is rather less forthcoming on the detail of the prosecution, more on the poor lad who was nicked by the would-be religious police.
However, according to the original Metro story...
A teenager has been handed an 80-hour community service order for wearing an offensive t-shirt.
Adam Shepherd... was convicted under new anti-hate laws which ban people from displaying religiously insulting signs...
Which seems a bit strange given that the laws aren't in force yet? On the other hand, given the natural zealotry of the police/ magistrates, this kind of thing shouldn't necessarily come as a surprise...
Little Britain? Here's Saudi!

More a case of 'This is Not America' no?
Metro is published by Associated Newspapers though so they would put things like this in a anti-govt context.
Can't we see the naff Tee though? Presumably its something along the lines of this (scroll to Metal Up Your...):

I think it said something along the lines of Jesus is a C***
