Fatsoes flock to Firkins!

As I never tire of pointing out, the only "good" thing to celebrate about living in bent Labour Sandwell is that folk will escape these earthly bounds sooner than those who live almost anywhere else. After half a century of Labour incompetence, corruption, and cronyism life in the poverty ghetto is often nasty, brutish, and short. It's a statistical fact. 

Similarly, it is well documented that Labour Sadders is a public health disaster zone - a fact that has even been acknowledged by the comrades. The Council website boasts that:

"We address key health issues such as obesity, smoking, mental health, and infectious diseases"

[I should declare an interest here as a fully paid-up lardarse myself.]

It is fair to say that many Labour Councillors won't be winning 'Slimmer of the Year' either. Curiously, they are never fat-shamed by Cllr Bob Piper yet he is happy to abuse members of the public in respect of their weight:

And so how is bent Labour's anti-obesity drive going? Er, not very well given its Tipperesque ejaculations over the queues of morons outside the reincarnated Firkins Bakery shop in West Brom. Any pretence of concern for public health has gone right out of the window as Labour seeks to extol the virtues of its latest white elephant, the new £4.6m indoor market hall. They are desperate to advertise this building, which will inevitably fail, and have seized upon the ludicrous scenes outside Firkins as an example of how successful the market will be. 

The Skidder duly wrote to Firkins asking them for the calorie count in their best sellers:

"THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION - PRESS ENQUIRY

Your website seems to be "a work in progress" and I cannot find any reference to the calories in any of your products. Could you please supply this for (a) the top 5 selling cakes, and (b) the top 5 selling bakeries.

Many thanks,"

Alas, Firkins has chosen not to reply. No doubt Labour Councillors will be checking that they are advertising the calorie count in-store.

Of course, Messrs Greggs advertise the "nutritional value" of all their products. Let's just have a look at the kcal per portion for a few:

The famous sausage roll - 338; Triple choc muffin - 467; Vegan sausage breakfast roll - 406; Steak Bake - 428; Cream Eclair - 323; Belgian Buns - 371; Glazed ring (ouch!) doughnuts - 217.

This is a random selection and I haven't just chosen high-scorers - don't even ask about the pizza!

Suffice to say that Labour don't give a sh*t about folk eating similar high-calorie items as long as they are buying them at the indoor market. So there you go folks, this is the new local public health messsage from bent Labour - STUFF YOURSELVES FOR SANDWELL! (A variation from the usual bent Labour motto - GET STUFFED!)
