Hello. Sorry for disturbing you but I thought you would like to know how the year long campaign to Save Our British Sausage has been going. No doubt you will remember that my fellow UK butchers and I were prompted to start campaigning when our useless Government, Brussels and political correctness went mad and declared that our good old as “English as hayfever” sausages MUST now contain at least a 40% imported meat content. Our hand-made sausages don’t even have 25% meat in them, so we didn’t see how that would work. And due to previous “media scares” they declared we’re no longer allowed to make them from horses. Or donkeys. Or dogs. The banger is vital part of an Englishman’s everyday healthy diet, it’s probably on of our five a day and worth fighting for. But despite some of us butchers literally fighting MPs the English sausage is still under attack from self-appointed, BMW driving, white wine drinking, pasta eating, johnny foreigner food safety officials from across the channel. But we have not rested this last 12 months; we presented a petition of 53 signatures to the copper on the door of number 10 Downing Street, got on the BBC‘s One Show and were mentioned once in The Sun, in a story about English butchers getting arrested on a ferry to Brussels. We are a traditional British butchers and have been proud to make meat-stuffs from Grand National winners over 150 years. So please join us in standing up for a great traditional meal, stand up for Britishness, stand up for the Queen, and let’s give Johnny MEP a black eye or two. To show your support use “Direct Action” and boycott supermarket sausages, then buy all your British Sausage from our shop. David, Tony and Shawn Bradford. Bradford’s the Butchers. UKIP Supporters

Hello. Sorry for disturbing you but my brothers and I can no longer stand idly by whilst this once proud country goes to the dogs, all thanks to our useless Government, Brussels and political correctness gone mad. I am of course talking about sausages, otherwise known as the Great British banger. This vital part of an Englishman’s everyday diet, the English sausage is now under attack from European bureaucracy and spineless Governments. After much red tape making across the channel by self-appointed, BMW driving, white wine drinking, pasta eating, food safety officials we have been instructed that our “As English as hayfever” sausages MUST now be made with at least a 40% imported meat content. Our hand-made sausages don’t even have 25% meat in them, so I don’t know how they reckon that will work. And due to last year’s “media scare” we’re no longer allowed to make them from horses. Or donkeys. This is just crazy. We are a traditional British butchers and have been proud to make meat-stuffs from Grand National winners and beach-walking asses for over 150 years. So please join us in standing up for a great traditional meal, stand up for Britishness, stand up for the Queen, and let’s give Johnny MEP a black eye. Vote UKIP next week and sign the petition in our shop to Save Our British Sausage (SOBS). David, Tony and Shawn Bradford. Bradford’s the Butchers. UKIP Supporters.
