are cunts.
For giving in to pressure from a small minority, who are offended by the logo, as it might affect children.
The original Tate and Lyle logo is of a rotting lion carcass, with bees hovering round it.
Hands up, anyone, who knew that.
Also, that it represents a Biblical story featuring Samson?
I can see a Bud moment coming on.

And Jack The Cunter is of the same mind with this observation
Tate and Lyle are cunts. The oldest brand logo in the world is to get a ‘ makeover ‘. To ‘ refresh the brand’s legacy to appeal to a 21st century audience.
We’re talking about Lyle’s Golden Syrup here, a favourite of mine since childhood.
Everyone is familiar with the green and gold tin, depicting a dead lion with bees swarming around it.
It bears the legend ‘ Out of the strong came forth sweetness ‘.
This is where the problem lies. Abram Lyle ( not Abraham, as quoted in the link ) was a staunch Christian and used the Bible story of Samson killing a lion as the inspiration for the logo.
Now we all know that anything Christian, Victorian and transatlantic slave trade associated, is horribly racist and hurty to any non white’s and other faith’s, so some fucking wet wipe at Tate and Lyle has decided to jump the gun and fuck the nasty Christian linked lion off, before some limp wristed , woke twat starts pointing the finger. After all, we mustn’t upset the dark keys or peacefuls.
Tate and Lyle say the original logo will stay on the ‘ Heritage Tin ‘ but don’t say how long that tin will stay in production.
What a bunch of cunts.
Is nothing fucking sacred ?

For 87 years I thought the dead lion’s carcass was surrounded by flies! You learn something new every day.
Leave it alone, or replace it with a rotting jam spoon outside his stinking mud hut. The flies would be obligatory in the latter scenario.

I thought it depicted a scene out of Born Free.

Should show a poor violent criminal being restrained by a police officer.

I grew up eating syrup butties. Ate fucking tons of the stuff. Now I eat honey. Supposed to be healthier but still full of sugar. Ah well, we’re all going to die anyway.
