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 ?
(Be afraid! Be VERY afraid for tomorrow morning’s nom at 7am !! – Day Admin)
Why can’t they leave things alone?
If it’s a iconic item….
Don’t fuck with it.
My gran used this treacle to make treacle toffee,
My mam uses it and I use it.
When the Lion goes?
I go.
Fuck them🖕
24
when the original logo on the tin finally disappears for good, so will my/hubby’s custom. New logo looks shit as well.

They’ll be fucking off uncle Ben from rice packets next. Oh er, wait a minute….

Not to mention Aunt Jemima’s maple syrup…. Oh, wait a minute.

Hopefully their sales/profits will fall through the floor. And then what?

The only white logo these cunts aren’t offended by is Colonel Sanders.
Apart from when KFC ran out of chicken during lockdown. Then the sheboons called the police and wanted him arrested.
“How muh gonna feed muh keeids”?
Comedy gold.
19
Feed their kids KFC
All paid for by you and me.

never touch KFC since they announced its all Halal, basically barbaric torturing of the chickens by cutting their throats slowly so they bleed to death hanging by their feet in fear and agony just how the peacefuls like it, they claim halal death raises the animal fear endorphins and makes them taste better, we should do same to them and their flyblow…tobrerone chocolate is same now, halal slow death for cows to make the animal fat acceptable to the mosquetto crowd..boycott both i hate animal cruelty
21
That’s because peacefuls are inherently evil cruel bastards.
10
To be replaced with a prostrate saint Georgi surrounded by used needles…nice and homely 👍
13
Great Nom.
They started selling golden syrup in fucking plastic bottles, easier for the modern day thlids to handle than the old fashioned tins. Maybe the blubbery, retardist spunk residue cannot get the lids off. It will be the same helpless, bennies guzzling fuckers who will be traumatised by the dead lion. No doubt it will be ruining their lives. They’d better hide in a fucking cupboard until their social worker gets there. . They will be demanding compo from Tate & Lyle. Questions in the house Speech from Sunak to calm fears, “dead lions on treacle tins are a threat to national unity’.

O/T, this just came to my attention…

Didn’t some person once famously say something along the lines of
” I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight, to the death, for your right to say it”
A value that appears to have disappeared from democracy.

It’s been reported here in the states that the new logo will feature a pile of shit being poked by a bunch of chimps with the slogan; Out of buffalo dung came forth woke.
13
I remember asking my gran about the logo as a kid,
And she explained it was a biblical quote.
I thought that was great!!
I didn’t need therapy over the death of the lion.
I didn’t wet the bed and start sucking my thumb.
I don’t have ongoing trauma.
I don’t need a blue badge due to this.
It’s iconic and from a different era.
That’s why I fuckin like it!!😡
20
Until I read that article, I had no clue what the logo actually was, apart from a lion.
I didn’t know the lion was dead, that there were bees, that it was linked to a Biblical story.
This is mainly because, as a child, I was only interested in the contents of the tin. As an adult, I was only aware of the traditional gold and green.
Can I sue them for retrospective trauma?
17
As both kid and adult I never gave a flying fuck about the packaging, the contents were all that mattered.
5
This takes me back to my childhood too. However I always thought the lion was just asleep.
Anyway, Tate & Lyle sugar is made from West Indies sugar cane. So if they want me to buy their syrup they can ditch the new crappy bland logo and replace it with a sooty slave in chains and leg irons. More appropriate.
22
MODERN AUDIENCES.
Replace the lion with an obese blue haired tranny with septum ring getting its leg amputated from diabetic necrosis.
16
Didn’t notice it, due to being a honey person.
3
Alright Sammy?
I like both.
I’ve just got some top grade honey from a customer who has bee hives,
Award winning honey!
It’s better than the stuff in the shops.
Tastes and smells marvelous.
3
Remember having to queue for bread during the 70s strike and shops would allow you more if you bought Tate & Lyle sugar.
You were definitely tasting the true honey Mis. Don’t think I’ve tasted the likes.
This nom also brings back memory’s of being at the St. Anne’s Convalescent Home in the fifties, when each night I looked forward to the nurse bringing round a large jar of the Malt honey version and can see her now wrapping it round tablespoons before handing them to the children.
2
When I was a shaver I heard a play on the BBC Home Service that included a scene where a kidnapped man was tortured by having a tin of treacle poured down his back. I was very worried imagining the horror. My mother told me to stop listening to such inappropriate rot.
5
Their factory in Silvertown, East London served as a deterrent to me and other kids.
It looked so depressing and the smell from it was so horrible that nobody would want to work in a factory….. Ever.
The stink wafted over that part of London, sometimes masking the smell of the nearby abattoirs in the Isle of Dogs.
Which was also fucking horrendous.
But their products were good, even though I don’t remember any alternatives.
Having a rotting lion’s corpse surrounded by flies as a logo showed how good their products are.
Even today’s Media Studies students would be hard pushed to come up with such a crap, obscure idea.
Fuck Tate & Lyle.
6
Same as the peek freen biscuit factory in bermondsey, and the sarsons vinegar factory in tower bridge road, they both stunk to high heaven and wafted all over the borough! no wonder i cannot stand the smell of fucking vinegar anywhere near me!!
1
What kind of a snowflake is offended by a lion logo? Is it the dãrkies or is it the poo-pushers?
“Alright treacle. Fancy using some syrup as a lubricant?”
8
70 years of fingering the tin and never noticed the lion was dead or the bees, always thought it was the British Lion, get me to fuk I’m so ignorant
12
Small potatoes.
Now this is a logo …

We always had Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup and Treacle in the kitchen cupboards when I was growing up and as I write this at the age of 41, I literally just found out upon reading this nomination that the logo depicts a rotting Lion carcass surrounded by bees.
If I’d been told that as a kid, my response would have been “That’s weird”…. then I would have taken a couple of chocolate digestives from the cupboard, walked away and gotten on with my day. If today’s kids are this soft then I blame the parents.
14
I’m surprised T&L haven’t renamed or removed their “Black Treacle” from the market. Raaaycist.

I’ve just emailed Tate and Lyle,
Pretty much outlining their iconic brand is much loved ,
And that I’ll not by a tin if it’s not got a Lion corpse on it.
Let you know if they reply.
11
Brands need to be seen changing with the times said a T&L Spokesmen?
A lots changed in the last 100 years and none of it prompted a rebranding. Fuck me, what has prompted the change? Old logo was Christianity inspired was it? The new logo looks like it belongs on the front of a reggae album.
Jah Mon, Haile Selassie aiiiii…..
But it’s not in a jar it’s in a fucking tin!
I wonder how much the marketing department spunked getting the new logo designed? And what’s the point? People don’t really give a fuck about the logo.
I shouldn’t be surprised, the only acceptable use of the English flag now is during football tournaments, then only in tatty Chinese plastic stuck on your car.
Everything English has to be eradicated, the flag, The proms, beloved TV shows, any productive industry, until they eventually eradicate the thing they hate the most, white people.
11
Cultural Marxism leaves zero stones unturned.

A similar thing happened with Camp Coffee.
The original logo depicts a British officer being served by turbaned Indian sub continent gentleman.
The modern logo depicts the same two characters, but they are both sat down having a good old chinwag whilst both drinking the said beverage.
My childhood is being erased.
It’s a fucking disgrace.

I wouldn’t wash my dogs arse with Camp coffee.

It’s Mellow birds for me or nowt.

How do think they made it?
3
Camp coffee is excellent for baking. When Ethel makes a delicious coffee and walnut cake she always uses the stuff.
As a kid, it was the only coffee available in our house, as coffee was regarded as an expensive luxury. Seeing as we were a couple of rungs below church mice on the poverty scale, I regarded Camp coffee as liquid gold, made with milk and two sugars.
I occasionally have one now, to remind me of hard times.
LOL.
10
Evening Jack 👍
I 🤎 coffee & walnut cake!
Never had Camp coffee,
My mam and dad rarely had coffee and then it was a budget instant coffee.
The first time I smelt proper coffee made from beans it was a revelation.
Prefer Bovril though.
5
Alright MNC ?
I’m in rather splendid health, thanks 👍
You ok ?
I only keep Ethel on for her baking skills.
Scones, lemon drizzle cake, chocolate cream cake, Victoria sandwich ……
It’s all good 😀😀😀

Shut them down.. treacle! How sexist, this ain’t 60s london.. syrup! The Follicly challenged must be outraged.
Still what do you expect from a london comedian and a Scottish golfer.

Another iconic British brand kowtowing to the Islamist savages in our midst. Lee Anderson was bang on.

In moderation? Is it because I have slightly modified my name?

Alright LL ? 👍

Alright Jack, good thanks mate.
I’m like a coiled spring waiting to pounce and get going properly next week when the weather settles down.
Plenty of work booked in?
2
@LL. Yes, there’s plenty to go at, when the weather obliges. I’ve been busy at The Rookery, over winter, doing various bits of maintenance.
I don’t do any paid work over winter, ( unless a regular rings up for something in particular ) so I’m ready for a change of routine. It’s going to be a later start this year, it’s that fucking wet, might even go away for a few days. Before the mayhem starts 😁
