I cannot understand how a man can import over a thousand kilo of skunks into the country and not get noticed.

There is a big advertising campaign on at the moment about bring illegal meat imports in and if that cartoon character Fifi is anything to go by, they have a putrid smell?

We have had an influx of all kinds of 'bush meat and bib and tucker' which has beed encouraged no doubt by the crazy programme 'I'm a Celebrity. I even saw ants, slugs, bugs, earwigs, flies set in boiled sweets in Fortnum and Masons once. revolting stuff. Put me off of my Cream Tea.
