I never actually realised that Tate and Lyle Golden syrup had a dead liion on it surrounded by bees

And now the "woke" brigade have "forced" them to change it to a lion instead because it offends children,

Granted, I haven't had it for a while but I never really looked too much at the image.

I can though see why they might want to update the image - brands do that kind of thing and I am not sure it has anything to do with being "woke".

Rentamob REALLY pisses me off, because I've joined many a mob, and never seen so much as a penny for my efforts! It's pretty ironic when -as usual- you're protesting about something the rich have done, too!

You lost me at woke.
Would be interesting to see how many "youngsters" they spoke to to get their opinion.
My guess is none.
More likely scenario they've just had a change of brand logo and the likes of the Express have cried "woke!" 🙄

Just imagine being an Express staffer with a mortgage to pay, and almost having to force yourself to type "woke" one more time....

(According to Owen Jones, they do in fact sometimes stage mutinies and refuse to write particularly hateful pieces, but I think that's more about cruel or bigoted content rather than silly articles about golden syrup)

Jesus, is nothing sacred?

That's quite a story! I am not surprised it was not in my children's bible.

This is driven by marketing tossers. It's not about "the woke brigade" or any other shit the Daily Express makes up.
