Stingray bashing in Australia
24Dash.com reports that: "Up to 10 stingrays have been found dead and mutilated on Australia's eastern coast since "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was killed by one of the animals last week, an official said today, prompting concerns of revenge attacks on the normally docile fish".
Right up there with the urban legend (?) of attacks on dachshunds during world war one. I have not been able to find an attributed instance of this, but while sniffing around discovered that dachshunds were renamed 'liberty dogs' in the States, so the 'Freedom Fries' nonsense had an antecedent.

I always refuse to buy those israeli dips (yarden)however, will guiltily admit to enjoying jaffa cakes.
During Apartheid I always made a point of buying South African produce if I could.
attacks on dachshunds: did you try the Korean newspaper files?
I would dearly love to know whether those on the Left started drinking South African wine once Mandela was in power, or whether they waited until the first post-Botha vintage came to the market. I suspect the former, likewise Chilean wine etc.
where's the BBC post you lazy so and so.

As most of our newlabour friends are well heeld and well educated I doubt if they have ever drunk South African wine with anything other than a grimace
