      They are in the UK because they are still using them on sugar beet. The Tories are balls deep in sugar money

      George Weston is CEO of Associated British Foods which owns British Sugar and got done for sneaking 900k to the Tories

      Tate and Lyall gave millions to the Tories and import sugar cane from countries with fuck all standards
