    Waitrose has removed coffee tins showing slaves working on plantations from its shelves after backlash from customers. The illustrations appeared on the sides of tins sold by Italian coffee company Saquella 1856, and were spotted by Patriic Gayle, 56, as he browsed the aisles. The pictures show black slaves harvesting beans in Guatemala and in one image a white plantation manager watches a black mother carrying a child. Patriic was horrified when he looked closer, and approached staff in the branch of the supermarket in the Brunswick Centre, Bloomsbury, Camden, to complain. His friend Annette Saunders was also appalled.
    ‘I’m a white, gay man, and Annette’s daughter is mixed-race, so it was particularly poignant for Annette. ‘It was a bit of a no brainer. Anybody would object.’


    I simply can't believe it. £5.50 down to £4.49 for Italian coffee. Bargain!

    Some people will not like this one bit. Tea drinkers maybe.

    "I'm a white, gay man"

    For the life of me I cannot see how this is relevant to the story. @Toby to shed more light on it.

    That's what struck me too. Just another one of these self important "look at me, I have things to say" pricks. I blame social media.

    Back in the old days Gungadin Singh was pictured serving Colonel McTavish but nowadays in this world of political correctness gone mad the uppity arab is actually sitting down supping the brew with a senior officer. It's just not cricket!

    I saw an "interesting" discussion on Twitter this morning about transexuals/transvestites/**** knows what else being allowed to compete in the Olympics as women. The feminists were outraged (no surprises there) and were arguing because they're physically 'men' they would have an unfair advantage over the women.

    The upshot of this 'discussion' is that I no longer want to live in this world and will be shooting myself in the head at some point over the weekend (I've instructed Toby to upload the video to the Whatsapp group).

    Post one then. At least that wouldn't be as gay as your usual input.
