First they came for the booze, then they came for the fags, now they have come for the Lorne sausage. What next from the control freaks that run our councils?

Let’s hope Stirling council has made the kids feel better by donating a wad of money from their discretionary fund to the charity.
Sweeny Bean Wonder how many chocoholics sit around in that council chamber.
