Twenty years plus ago, there was a butcher shop somewhere near the small charity shop in Lordship Lane.


My wife bought some beef mince and when she got it home found that some of it had FUR on it! She took it back and the butcher refused to do anything about it.


I called the council who, really quickly, bought their own mince, had it analysed and found it was rabbit and beef mixture


Butcher was prosecuted but I can't remember the outcome.

Yes - I geddit, the fuss is because they claimed to be all beef and pork is unclean etc. but unless they claimed to be halal burgers I shouldn't think Dalepack need to beef up their security just yet (unintended).


But why not make a 'meat' burger if you're going to sell them for a few pence each? - as long as it's all legal flesh (and listed in the ingredients) where's the harm? We do it with fishcakes. And so what if it's mechanically recovered? Isn't that just making sure one uses as much of an animal as possible? what about 'meat' pies? Do we assume they are all beef? If they contained horse or rabbit or pork would that be wrong?


just askin.

You probably don't buy 8 for a quid though SJ.


I think the humour is probably because most people know that you don't ask too many questions at that price point.


I don't really see the religious guys getting heated up either, mainly because they all like a kickabout on a Sunday too. Religious adherence is selective.


There's a certain amount of trust that this kind of thing gets exposed because the checks are good. This is a demonstration that the system works.


And, waddayaknow, it's the Irish too ;)


Cheap jibe, I know.

Oh Strafer, you're such a killjoy. Puns are never not funny.


And Otta, Lidl was indeed one of the supermarkets with the dodgy horseflesh.


But I remain surprised that no one's bothered about the pigness. Fundamentalists at least - come on, there's gotta be an infidel plot in here somewhere...

For me its just another wake up call as to where some crap food actually comes from. Some (who enjoy mechanically recovered flavoured meats) will be like "meh its just food". Anyone who cares will avoid anyway.


The source is looking more like a meat producer on the continent and that got me thinking about the numbers. Meat sludge from France is shipped to Ireland (by lorry), rusk /spice and crap are added, then they are shipped back to the UK by lorry frozen. And 8 burgers are sold for ?1.


It's almost evil.


Edit: Taking out all that overhead, I reckon each burger has meat with a value of 2 to 4 pence.

Of course nose-to-tail eating where every last piece of the animal is used is deemed oh-kay, as long as it's not mechanically recovered unidentified sludge.

      Digital ID

      By David Peckham · Posted

      That's why I said 'in some form' - that figure increases to 57% when asked if they were in favour of a 'National ID Card', rather than a digital one on their phone. That suggests a couple of things to me: firstly that the majority of people aren't mad enough to rebel over a perceived Orwellian assault on their civil liberties and, secondly, that 20% of people are worried about someone sussing that they've been looking at 'BigTits.Com' or some-such on their mobile.

      we need more information - the actual facts on intended use and benefits - now and in the future, otherwise we're just speculating

      I think digital id is potentially a good thing, number of reasons for that. Eventually it will encompass services you already have from the goverment, your driving licence,  you NI number, your gov gateway (all obvious extensions)  Services like photo card driving licences have already proved to have flaws, including Mr Smith, who looks similar to Mr Green,  passing Mr Greens test to get Mr Green a "dodgy" dtiving licence as an example.  Digital id may also ensure only people entitled to NHS care get it and health tourists pay to use our health service.  However, whilst I think.its a good idea, social media will ensure it is still born. Over the weekend I've seen so many anti digital id posts, including Kier as Davros leading the Labour Daleks (did make me chuckle) , comparisons to 1984 and even a song about it. Someone posted "what would happen if we all refused to sign up" and how within 31 days it would topple the government.  Will it actually happen maybe , but I have a feeling, like most things whatever way it goes both sides will again employ project fear and misinformation.

      Yep.  Yet completely in keeping with this mad post-Brexit country  Yeah but the poll tax was manifestly unfair financially where the richest millionaire paid same as a single pensioner in a one bed flat  this id thing is just… hysterical
