Everyone is so offended.

Is it legal to call meatless tubes sausages?

The law states that to be called a sausage it has to contain a minimum of 30% meat.

Do meatless sausages have an exemption or are they breaking the law by calling them sausages?

Wasn't there an episode of the SATIRICAL COMEDY SERIES "Yes Minister" constructed around whether or not something containing less than a certain percentage of actual meat could be called a "sausage"? This is where we are now, real life imitating comedy.

Scarily prophetic. Even Python couldn't get that past a commissioning panel today. "Life of Brian" caused a stink when it came out amongst the God-botherers. We wouldn't be able to hear them now over the explosion in Twitter if the film was coming out (pardon the pun) now.

NFU disappointed with Tesco advert

So not "offended" then,

Gotta learn to read.

"caused significant distress for British Farmers"

I'd say that's a bit more than "disappointed". Anyway, I thought point of this thread was to come up with tenuous links to complaints made by groups we don't like?

Another day another apology. We all know what Paul Hollywood is getting at with his description of a cake or does he need re-educating?

My father in law has type 1 and we're pretty worried about him at the moment, he's been very unwell for a long time.

And I can't stand Paul Hollywood.

But it's only the joyless s giving him grief for that line which I'd take issue with. It's all getting a bit tedious.

The problem lies with people apologising.

Yep and ultimately the apology doesn't mean anything, he is only apologising because he's been told to.

"Racist" art in Nandos.

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/food-dri...

Despite it being a piece by a prominent black artist from a South African township it's triggered some spongs.

Would a painting of 4 white people in a toaster make the diddums feel better or would they moan about the lack of diversity?

[768]

It's pretty offensive they've removed the art.

I'd have thought small card explaining the context probably a good idea though.
