Something about potatoes and sausage I believe.

The name for the meal is 'bangers and mash'.

Bangers for sausages because as any good chef knows you're not supposed to prick them or else the fat (and hence the flavour) leaks out so they had a tendency on occasion to explode in the frying pan, hence 'bangers'.

Mash, or creamed potatoes is just what it says. Put them together and you have a traditional low-cost (therefore considered to be working-class) meal of bangers and mash.

I remember my mom saying something like that (she's born and raised in Kent near Tonbridge Wells), but we were moving around so much in my childhood that I never got to try it. Anything with sausage has to be good, right?

I know what bangers and mash are, and quite enjoy it with baked beans and/or gravy, but I think most people in the country would just look at you with a blank expression on their face if you called them a mash banger. I know I would've at least.

You guys... always joking...
This beheading is a serious matter.
Western countries are breeding terrorists who are free to do their terrorism in conflict places like Syria, or what they now call ISIS, or ISIL...
Western governments must address this and that will be tricky.... Claims of "islamophobia" will be used as a shield... attacks on apparent innocents...

Just a few weeks ago, some british woman was convicted of financing some terrorist faction in Syria... money is flowing into these terrorists, not only people.
This needs to stop, but it's oh so tricky!

Well, I know it's eaten a lot in the North and sometimes down in the South of the UK but I've never been tempted to eat black pudding, which is a type of blood sausage made with pigs blood and fat.

Or the tons of right wingers in America that say the Bible is the foundation of a good government..

The question that needs to be answered is are we witnessing a new phenomenon (which I doubt) because if not then this is just another exercise in public scare-mongering as an excuse to bring in more draconian laws under the ubiquitous but ill-defined label of 'national security'.

It's time we challenged this nonsense.

What a load of bullshit. Your bible specifically tells you to stone homosexuals and women. Burn witches at the stake, and kill atheists and the entire village that they live in.

You don't do these things because western society has stamped this out. Go to places in africa on the other hand, and this is what they do. You're both reading the same book, so where are these africans getting all of this if not your bible?

I believe that this should be fixed from inside. Cause they won't change unless they want to.
