Tenuous link admittedly between doing it and admitting blame for it. But that's usually enough for the Met to pull someone in...
If someone does something criminal and someone says "we are all to blame for this" I believe this to be an admission of guilt in part or in whole.
He believes that he as a part of many to be responsible, I don't believe I am to be responsible in any way whatsoever despite eating budget processed food products.
I do not think I am responsible for Rover going out of business because I didn't buy a Rover car but bought a foreign one instead, I will not be held responsible for the crimnal acts of others and I won't be held responsible for companies being undable to keep trading, I feel sorry for Rover car workers and I feel sorry for farmers but it is the supermarkets reaping the rewards not me.
He made a statement saying he had eaten horsemeat in France, something many of us have stated including myself, he then in the next paragraph went on to say that we are all to blame for this situation because of our demand for cheap meat.
Rover Cars is not out of business, it was sold to Ford by BMW who licenced the Rover name and MG Rover to a consortium called Phoenix. Following Phoenix's poorly run company called MG Rover Group, the business set up to sell cars under the MG and Rover branding, going under the name was then taken back by Ford. All names associated with Rover were then protected under licence.
In 2008 Ford Motor Corp. sold Rover to Tata group, along with Jaguar Land Rover and thereby protecting Rover further.
If ever Tata invest in Rover like they have with JLR then the Rover will be the iconic British car to buy yet again.
oooh Tangentially speaking that was a humdinger...but back to the horsemeat in hand...I've just landed in Dublin and have refused the dobbinburger just presented to me!
Pleasure to be of service Trev...I'm a bit of a Roverphile at heart having owned several and still have 2 now.
Though admittedly both built by their subsidary company in Solihull and not off the production lines of Cowley and Longbridge.
Thing this one has got twisted and confusing, people have said that budget/cheap processed food is to blame not least through long supply chains to get them onto the shcelves usually as own brand produce, I have said I do NOT consider Findus to be budget/cheap products.
I said it was the fault of the supermarkets not the consumer in answer to the allegation that is is the consumers fault that prices have been driven down, when I believe that those who have to buy budget products through circumstance are still in that position whilst supermarkets who are often the ones pushing farmers for the cheaper products are still making huge profits.
If you are happy with your financial situation why begrudge investors making money to improve their financial situation?
Out of interest, did you look further than the Because later in the article you copy and pasted from it says 'Like-for-like sales, excluding petrol and VAT, rose 0.5%, which was better than the near 1% decline reported by market leader Tesco in the year to February'. Hardly a land of milk and honey.
More importantly G they are having it fresh.
Wouldnt mind trying the horse tartare meself...
The ONLY reason, that's a very wide sweeping statement.
Perhaps the disabled and old folks are lazy, I personally don't think so, I think many of them rely on processed foods out of necessity, maybe the blind are lazy, I have never thought so but you must know more than me.
Perhaps the women who take their kids to school then go off to work, come home clean the house, take care of the kids and cook the meals, prepare the packed lunches and do all the other jobs are lazy ........
I sympathise with them, I rarely eat processed "quickie meals" myself because I cook in bulk, I have 5 freezer because of our guest house and because what we serve our guests is important for our future business I am very selective in what I buy, I am lucky to have a farm shop just a few hundred yards from home, our eggs are never more than 2 days old, our sauaages and bacon are from local animals, but we still have to serve processed food in the form of beans, tinned tomatoes, Haggis, kippers, yoghurt, cereals, cereal bars and such but the black pudding white pudding is made locally on the farm, the jams are home made, I use Morrisons for most of what I buy so croissant, brioche crepes, waffles, pancakes, oatcakes, crumpets and such are often made in the store, I have even started experimenting with making my own hash browns to give some variety the American way with cheese and onion browns etc. the farm shop supplies tomatoes, mushrooms, lettuce and other fresh fruit and vegetables.
I will no longer use Kebab/burger/curry houses for my own quick snacks.
I was quite surprised at how low supermarket profits actually are but at least they are making a profit bless em, it makes me wonder though, if they make so little and part of that reason is because they have to sell a lot of budget ranges to get people in, why do they sell them ? I know about loss leaders and such but for all the cost of opening the doors it does now in light of information given, simply seem, not worth the hassle.
