Default M&S Empire Pie Sparks Fierce Social Media Debate Over ‘Celebrating Colonial Deaths’



[Louise Raw, a historian,
posted a picture of

Getting offended for no reason seems to be the 'in' thing now.The worst part is some people think that when they say 'i'm offended' that everyone else has to move heaven and earth to make them feel better.The best response is usually to tell them to feck off and grow up.

Mmmmm, looks tasty.
As an old Colonial would it be really bad for me to try one?



Edit. Just realised it had crushed potatoes on top...they can keep it.

So it's just the word 'Empire' she doesn't like? Better not tell her about Empire biscuits.

Empire biscuits are actually a biproduct of the slave trade though. Made from the floor sweepings of slave ships, apparently.
