I like them too casemoney. Thinly sliced, pan fried and between two slices of crusty bread with salted butter and more HP sauce than is perhaps sensible. Lob in a runny egg as well for good measure and jobsagoodun.
cAN HARDLY LOOK AT THAT. **** FOR DOING THAT TO AN INTELLIGENT ANIMAL.
Shocking pic there, Kenny. Pig farms around here are free range and they can go into their shelers at night when they want. No herding.
Well that's great trilby. But a lot of the packs of bacon in Morrisons for example are from EU countries, a good few of whom flout the law on the ban on pig pens.
Trouble is (from EU countries) on the pack tells you nothing.
I know Ken. I stopped eating bacon years ago cos of my cancer. Apart from that, it's become an evil trade.
Bacon Torpedoes - that's what I do now. Don't tell Annie

They certainly DID Chaser, not sure of current situation.
A recent investigation by a Dutch organisation has found that many pigs in the Netherlands are still being raised in conditions that break EU law.
An undercover investigation by Dutch animal rights group Ongehoord into 26 pig farms in the country has uncovered poor welfare conditions, widespread tail docking and no access to straw.
The investigation, which reveals breaches of the EU Pigs Directive on many of the farms, suggests little or no progress has been made to animal welfare in the Dutch pig farming industry since Compassion's own 2008 investigation into farms across Europe.
Routine tail docking is banned under the Pigs Directive, which also says pigs must have access to "manipulable material", such as straw. Sow stalls, which will be outlawed in the EU in 18 months' time, are in widespread use. The footage shows pigs bar biting, a clear sign of frustration.

8 weeks in prison for hammering a nail into a dog's head and burrying it alive. Unbelievable.
Govt has said it does not have any plans to increase sentences.George Useless Eustice, the Environment minister said magistrates could already impose unlimited fines, and ban people from owning and ever being involved with animals.
Not good enough by a long way.

To be fair, they do have other things to do as well, and all the MP's have monitors in their offices.

So there could me many more following it.

Otherwise I'll devise one myself in Spoons this week, sometime.

Kenny, the debate was taking place either side of 13:30. Not hard to work out where they all were. Do they have monitors in the bars and restaurants too?
Posibly a good pont although I nearly always lunched 12-1.
Whenever I've seen, or glanced at debates, there's nearly always a sparse crowd

That's true, there were a lot more in there to listen to David Davis immediately before. A nation of animal lovers? Bah.
The Teacher asks the kids to explain the difference between involved and committed. Little Johnny says it's like Bacon and Eggs miss. How so Johnny, says Teacher. Well miss, the hens involved but the pigs committed.
Foinavon, are you there? I've devised a mail to George useless Eustice and would like to run in through you, particularly as you're in contention for the cleverest forumite award.
Muslims think pigs are "unclean". What pigs think of muslims is unprintable.
Dear Mr Mann,
Thank you for your email of 6 April to the Minister of State about sentencing measures for those charged with animal cruelty. I have been asked to reply.
The Government takes the issue of animal welfare very seriously. Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (the 2006 Act), it is an offence either to cause any captive animal unnecessary suffering or to fail to provide for the welfare needs of the animal. As such, anyone who is cruel to an animal, or does not provide for its welfare needs, may face an unlimited fine or be sent to prison for up to six months or both. A court may, in addition, deprive a person of ownership of an animal if it is satisfied that to leave the animal with its owner would expose it to further cruelty. The court may also disqualify a convicted person from having custody of an animal for such a period (including life) as it sees fit. It is for the courts to decide on an appropriate penalty based on the individual circumstances of each case.
We keep the maximum penalties for offences relating to animal cruelty under constant review and are in regular discussion with the Ministry of Justice on appropriate sentencing levels. The average sentence for general animal cruelty is about 3.4 months’ imprisonment. In terms of the policy on sentencing, the Government considers that the recently revised Magistrates’ Courts Sentencing Guidelines, which will be effective from 24 April 2017 and which are applicable in the case of animal cruelty offences, will allow magistrates more flexibility with regard to imposing penalties towards the upper end of the scale. The Sentencing Council has stated that it aims to ensure that the most serious cases of animal cruelty receive appropriate severe sentences within the available maximum.
Yours sincerely,
