Missing from where? How can you be missing a horse unless it has been stolen or run away? No more than 10% of that amount can be in Ballymun flats...

Fingers were pointed at Poland and Romania. Now it seems that the guilty processors were in the UK with the horsemeat originating in the Irish Republic.

I think we need to approach the horse issue with a little more tack.

Looks as if it's not just Tesco that is saddled with this problem, but I imagine they'll ride it out.

I'd say it's worse than that. I think it's hit them at a canter and their PR bunch must be chomping at the bit to get some positive ads out.

Still, Tesco's aren't the type to start bucking this stuff up.

Someone needs to take the reins and be the mane spokesperson. Too many hacks trotting out the same lines.

The PR people have their work cut out trying to manage this disaster...I think they must feel they're in a media steeplechase right now.

I think their mane concern should be to get the facts out as quickly as possible - these scandals really stirrup the emotions. They can't cover this up - no one canter race the facts once they bolt out of the barn.

You Pottok! Absolute manure. High-handed nonsense. The last straw. You deserve a (Suffolk) punch in the Castillonnais.
