COWARDS.

I find the concept of “pork-related words” to be highly amusing, for some reason.

Pathetic.
They deserve to grovel to 7th century barbarians.

[piasa]

I find Oxford offensive.

So much for republishing the works of Sir Francis Bacon.

"Ceterum censeo 0bama esse delendam."

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

The end of a classic:

And this little piggie went wee, wee, wee, all the way home!

Just more pig for me!!

My God! You are the Scottish police force of FR. I hope Jim pays you for your tedious and ongoing duty to make sure no one insults your precious Britain.

The fact of the matter is that Oxford University Press (not exactly a small publishing firm) has now sought to claim it was Jews (as well as Muslims) who complained about “pork-related” words. An outrageous lie that fooled no one. This is akin to Harper Collins (an American firm - I’m not shy about attacking my own) banning Israel from its published atlas. When the blowback got too bad for them, they pulped hundreds of thousands of those atlases. Let’s see if Oxford backs off turning Charlotte’s Web into a non-piggy type kiddie book.

Since I now refuse to buy from Harper Collins, I’m going to have to burn my Oxford press copy of Mrs. Beeton’s Book of Household Management.

The book “Animal Farm” will be banned. How ironic.

[DouglasKC]

Don’t forget pepperoni!

[yldstrk]

pig piggy, porkie pie, hog, Arkansas razorback, bacon, bacon bits, ham, ham hocks
damn Brits were never that kind to Jewish people who also don’t like pork, but some lunatic Mussleman comes along and they kiss his foot

Eat this and die muzzies:

[Gay State Conservative]

Jews *and* moslems? For decades...even centuries...Jews have tolerated mention of these things without so much as a *single* suicide bombing.

[jocon307]

Really? Jews have lived in England for how long? Not to mention I’m sure they have their share of vegetarians and vegans. Now, suddenly this is a problem?

Hey, England, clearly you need a bacon fest for freedom, please go heavy on the alcohol and scantily clad young women too.

Just tell women you know that Islam outlaws bacon, and they will come around.
