he is a cunt or not?
Personally I find this story amusing.
You can decide if he is a cunt or not..
This fellow was pretending he was growing tea in the Scottish Highlands.
He claimed to have invented a biodegradable polymer that made tea grow in half the time.. turns out it was a bin bag.
He was buying plants from Europe and claiming they were grown in Scotland.
He sold his tea to the Balmoral and Dorchester hotels claiming it was the late queen’s favourite.
Also to a buyer for fortnum and Masons.
He got three and a half years, alot more than a pàķi rapist gets nowadays.
So he tricked alot of gullible and more likely greedy people. I imagine those hotels were charging a fiver for a cup of tea..
Nominated by Barry zuckercunt.
If you are going to jail him for 3 and a half years then you had better jail most of the people involved in the marketing industry.
The guy lied about the origin of the tea plants, so what?
Watch the adverts on the television and you will see ‘Toothpaste inspired by dentists’, products that claim to be a result of NASA technology, cosmetics that contain simple, everyday ingredients but the scientific names are used to make them appear advanced.
False and deceiving adverts are everywhere and the ASA do fuck all about it.
He sold tea to high end stores and hotels for years.
Didn’t any of these places actually taste the stuff before they jacked his price up for the general public?
Not a cunt.
He shouldn’t be in jail.

Much like using the term ‘military grade’.
If something military grade, that means it was the cheapest option that serves its purpose.

I had a lot of “military grade” stuff in my time, a blast proof mag light, a watch that worked 200m underwater, and a personal organiser that did 200 years.
I also knew that I would not survive the parameters of the “Gadgets” also the idea of the cunt who blew me up getting a free torch out of the deal slightly aired me!
so I sort of gave up.
I do however have a “military grade” phone charger cable, its quite sturdy, you could probably garrotte people with it or possibly use it for abseiling, it so far has not broken!

& what about the time when Persil stated it washed “Whiter that white?” They should have been taken to the cleaners, for coming out with that.

What’s the betting the mum of the toolmakers son washed his clothes in Omo?

It would have rid the brown skid marks from his ‘Y’ Fronts.

And if we are talking about hot beverages, why not jail most of the executives from the coffee industry?
Contains only the finest Arabica beans.
Yes, very true.
They mix about 1% of the best Arabica beans with 99% Robusta beans, brought at a knock down price from Vietnam.
They are allowed to advertise on the telly.
Good morning everyone!

Selling cheap tat to gullible cunts,made half a million?
Good,I hope the proceeds were invested in Bitcoin so the grubby entitled trash running the country never see a penny of it.
Good morning.

Good lad. Conning pretentious cunts.

Real name, Steven Yakult-Lemon.

As any fule no, there is no ‘t’ in Scotland.

Yorkshire tea.
Not a lot of tea plantations there.
But they are allowed to advertise their packaging plant as the supposed source of the tea.
It comes from Kenya, India and Sri Lanka mainly.
Shipped to Harrogate where it is mixed together and sold to the gullible public.
15
I stopped buying Yorkshire tea when they came out in support of black lives matter.
They haven’t had a penny out of me since.
7
Whatever happened to that Latin phrase ‘caveat emptor’, meaning ‘buyer beware’. (I think I’ve got that right)
Basically, the purchaser is responsible for inspecting the quality of goods they wish to purchase.
A bit difficult in today’s online world I suppose, but it appears that being a mug is now grounds for legal redress.
Ok, he told porkies about the origin, but I can’t see it as any worse than being sold German lager from a factory in Wales.
Clearly he’s a chancer and not a proper chap, but it’s the stupidity and greed of the buyers that gave him the opportunity.
They thought they were on a winner.
They obviously weren’t.
Fuck ‘em!
12
just try online dating!
Trade descriptions would have a field day

The buyers at these posh hotels should be fucking sacked, Scottish Tea ffs, everyone knows there is only one tea grown in the UK…. Yorkshire Tea.
He got one day in prison for tea fraud and 3 years 5 months and 30 days for being a Tommy Robinson impersonator
9
He he I like mine strong Thomas 😂….conned the hoity toity Dorchester etc with some sweepings off the floor from some back street import/export dump and labelled it as the old dears favourite royal cuppa 🤪…nope not a cunt, those are the mugs who fell for it …ever been had 😩
7
I wouldn’t say the man is a cunt – no doubt outraged penny-pinching listeners to Wireless 4’s You & Yours would regard him as such, but all he was doing was trading on rich individuals pretentions. I doubt they missed the money and they probably enjoyed what they were drinking at the time. It did them no harm, so I wouldn’t have sent him to prison.
9
And what about the origin of some of the everyday stuff we mere mortals buy. Does anyone really check it out, or what it actually means?
‘Grass fed beef!’
Ok. In a field? Grass cuttings in a cattle shed? Grass pellets in a cage?
No idea.
‘Vine ripened tomatoes’
Where else are they meant to ripen?
‘Line caught tuna’
Presumably buy thousands of little garden gnome like figures sat on a fishing boat?
Oh do fuck off!
We’re probably being lied to all the time, but you don’t see someone like the CEO of John West doing time over it.
11
I’ve never met a Tommy Robinson i didnt like.
So he used a bit of kidology,
Thats savvy marketing,
Good business acumen.
Probably drank by wealthy scots from the SNP in their campervans?
I like the lad.
Oh Tommy, Tommy.
Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy
Two sugars please!

Scottish tea? Bells whisky all fucking shite, similar to haggis. Only good thing to come out of Scotland is Lorraine’s gusset.
7
What about that weather woman with massive tits?
10
The difference here is that he is a small enterprise making some members of the establishment look foolish. That simply wouldn’t do.
Someone wanted Mr Robinson to be punished. Did he sell tea to Sir Kweer at no.10?
18
That is the truth of the matter Paul, can’t have Establishment figures being made a fool of. (as if they need any assistance).
Not a cunt but a top hole geezer, and I would buy and share a cuppa monkey tea with him any day..
12
Some cunt should employ that mad poisoner aussie bîtch to make the Cabinet an extra large mushroom “beef” stroganoff..
Perfect.
12
Second helpings for Kweer, Rayner and Wessy , Reeves, Miliband and Wessy..
3
Exactly Paul, spot on!
3
Probably a cunt but three-and-a-half years is manifestly excessive. Given his entrepreneurial streak he should have got a community sentence teaching business studies or practial economics to the financially illiterate.
I suppose the only tea he’ll be drinking for the next few months will be the heavily laced with bromide variety.
9
Worse brew i ever had was off some Sherpas.
No not the van
The himalayan porters beloved by Chris Bonnington.
It was basically warm milk in a little glass.
Rubbish.
Yorkshire tea for me,
Leave the tea bag in to steep.
Marvelous.

Even as a kid I never drank tea.
Up to a few year’s ago I had never had a cup of it.
But tea is good for people with diabetes.
Very good, I can confirm.
I now have a few cups of Long Jing green China tea every day and I can go without my pills as a result.
No, I don’t buy it from a Scottish cunt.
I have it sent over from China.
Fuck me it’s expensive.
And to me it tastes horrible.
But it does me good.
7
Artie @
Cant you source another green tea in Spain?
Mate of mine whos a gardner has lost 5stone and his type 2 diabetes has gone into remission.
5
Yes, there are health food shops that stock green China tea, some supermarkets too, but they probably buy it from some dodgy cunt in sunny Galicia who has devised a special method of growing it.
I have work colleagues in China and they told me that the absolute best green tea to buy is Long Jing.
I took their advice.
I am pleased that I did.
I can manage my blood sugar levels with a sensible diet and a few cups of tea a day.
I know that sounds wierd, but the slitty eyed Chinks do know a thing or two about medicines.
6
Be careful AC – China you never know what shit – literally – you are buying from them, I remember a minor scandal a few years ago in our local paper when a long-gone Chinese Medicine & Accupuncture Centre (notice how that fad seems to be dying out in the high streets now?), had been selling wild animal parts and 100 year old panda poop in some of their preparations – the poor rich old bags of NW London were all running off to the GP afraid they had “caught” something. Apart from very large bills.
4
Thanks WC.
I think that most pills prescribed just hide the symptoms of whatever condition you might have.
If 100 year old panda shit can actually cure you then I would have it.
I am careful as to what I buy.
My contacts tell me that it’s genuine and it has helped more than a year’s worth of 3 different types of pills ever did.
Thanks for your advice.
5
Those last two sentences made me laugh, Art.
I remember my mum forcefeeding me some bloody awful treacle-like substance meant to “build me up”.
I think it was some kind of yeast extract.
When I complained that it tasted horrible, she would say that proved it was doing me good!
It didn’t work, I’m still pale and thin.
1
There are people actually growing tea in Scotland?
You learn something new on here every day!
This guy should get an award for showing a bit of initiative if you ask me.
Morning all.
4
Just a thought – given such a stiff sentence for what is a very minor matter – I wonder if Dame Kweer was one of those mugs “conned”?, and he wants to teach them a lesson through his pals at court. The company selling him Iced Pansy Water had better watch out!
5
This nom obviously chimes with the one two days ago about adverts. If there were any sense in the world, or perhaps the ASA, this story should have thousands of advertising industry freaks quaking in their boots. We are bombarded constantly with adverts making claims which range from questionable to simply outrageous. of
5
Second time the word “of” has been tacked on to the end of one of my posts. Wtf?
4
Anyone named Thomas is not to be trusted and is guaranteed to be a horrible deviant and a nasty piece of shit.
7
He made cunts out of pretentious arseholes. That’s medal not jailtime.
6
He could have been a lot worse, he could have been a tea leaf.
4
my Russian pickled mushrooms turned out to be Chinese! (just wash them off and add to stews far cheaper than fresh when you take longevity into account)
3
Right….
A bloke gets three years in the nick for fibbing about tea, which was bought by stupid chinless cunts, who can easily afford it.
Yet, that raisin eyed pasty faced slag Maxine Carr knowingly and willingly gives an alibi for naunce child murderer Ian Huntley, and she gets a house, a new name and a new life.
British justice, eh?
3
I remember when that wacky thumbs aloft cunt McCartney and his boss – sorry – wife Linda were caught growing pot in their greenhouse in Scotland.
Was he nicked? Nah.🙄
