THIS week's Sunday Times points out a scandal in which meat pies branded as unfit for consumption have been consigned to refugees in Lebanon. no to wo. ----0 The meat pies, originally processed by Mattesons under the Walls label, were found to contain an admixture of horsemeat, and withdrawn from sale.
But the regulations involved meant that the 288,000 cans were only declared unfit for human consumption inside the United Kingdom and Western Europe.
Elsewhere, apparently, the world's population of oppressed and exploited people are considered a legitimate target for unfit meat - some of which is thought to have come from knackers' yards.
There was at first dismay when it was revealed that the pies were headed for Cyprus: after all, as Matteson's managing director pointed out, "we get English tourists there"
So he should now rest easy in the knowledge thar the dodgy food will be esten by people securely ouxside Western Europe -few of whom will eves speak English.
Exceps of course sa do Cypricke "to go !!
shipping them .back England, 18 months aler their manufacture, to make a neat profit.
