With the sun beating down on the strange and exotic-looking meats on sale — some dripping blood, some heavily smoked and impossible to identify — the sights and sounds at this London market are straight out of Africa.
Skinned goat carcasses dangle overhead, blackened cow heads and lamb brains are lined up in trays, while baskets tucked in darker corners brim with yellowing strips of cured flesh.
Nearby, women hawk spices, cassava and yams, as men in shacks offer cheap airline tickets to Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon, as well as cash transfers back to family members still living on the continent.

Putin has a muzzie problem, too. And I remember at least two vicious muzzie attacks on Russian soil. He can make all the great speeches he wants but he's got Chechen freaks to worry about.

I got news for you. If Ebola hits Britain, it hits here.

great. I never heard all that.
Here I how I know it:
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat, chopped up piggies feet
French-fried eyeballs swimming in a bowl of grease
To eat without a spoon!

Hasn’t been that long ago that California had some kind of sickness (don’t remember what) from all the third worlders and their bathtub cheese.

Yet for all the sunshine, bustle and sound of African voices, the butchers here were oddly tense this week, not to mention strangely reluctant to discuss certain choice cuts of meat.The reason? Ridley Road has been identified as a hub for the secret market in ‘bush meat’ — the flesh of exotic animals such as chimpanzee, monkey, porcupine, fruit bats and even giraffe, slaughtered in the African bush and smuggled into Britain.
It is estimated that a staggering 7,500 tonnes of illegal meat enters Britain each year, the bulk of which is bush meat.
Yummy, Yum Yum!

Too bad - it would be nice to think that SOMEONE is standing up to these pre-historic demons.
