They are uncaring and unhygienic. Shocking lack of animal welfare. I was shocked to see it at the top of the page.

I don;t have a problem with it personally. Don;t buy it but don't have a problme with them being allowed to advertise.

Is there a clear Mumsnet philosphy which states which type of companies are "banned" from advertising? Being "uncaring" would rule out just about every major multinational company. Fair enough if there is a policy not to advertise companies who have been convicted of animal cruelty on those grounds alone.

Agree with all of this but also it was BM's practices that brought bird flu into the country.

Just to add my support to Bernard Matthews' removal - from MN but from RL would be good too (not the man himself but the company.

And have employees who have been convicted of cruelty after they were caught on camera beating turkeys with cricket bats.

Gits.

They should treat him as he treats them. Let him be artificially fattened so that his legs no longer take his weight and he has to pull his naked, featherless arse through the piss and shit and corpses using only his wings. And let it burn his skin off.
