I blame the supermarket's buyers
It's interesting that the story's gone from a 'filler/bulking agent' in burgers having 'traces of horse DNA' to outright substitution of horse meat for beef! Now the Irish are blaming the Polish suppliers who, in turn, are blaming the Romanians - how far does this meat travel FFS! Now it's been reported that there's a Cypriot 'meat broker' in teh suply chain too - so much for Buy British/Locally sourced.

a swedish manufacturer
selling in the uk, sourcing its stuff from france and spain, who in turn sourced from romania, by the look of it.

but yes, the finger has to point somewhere at people who think it's ok to pay £1 for 4 burgers and not think that just ain't right.

It's all the fault of the poor.
We should cut their incomes to solve the problem.

They've been contaminated with horse meat though.

and leech out bacon milk

Erm, this is the bottom-of-the-food chain mechanically rendered shit we're talking about
buy British? They should be fucking grateful it's actually meat. Seriously, if you buy ready meal lasagne at £2 for a family of four, I can't believe you can have any objections unless it's actually poisoned.

It might actually contain poison.

we can probably do without the people buying that kind of food anyway

When has this been about "Buy British"?
These companies aren't claiming that it contains British meat at all.
