Default Acid attack in upmarket London suburb

Scotland Yard said the victim was approached by two suspects who threw a "noxious substance" at him before stealing his mobile phone

Meanwhile...

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, is banning junk food advertisements on buses to "reduce the influence and pressure that can be put on children and families to make unhealthy choices".

Expressing something without needing to explicitly target words at it.

He who has eyes, can see. He who has ears, can hear. He who is thirsty, must not be led to the river.

There has been a spate of acid attacks this year mostly in London, measures are being introduced age restriction on certain items that can have this sort of effect.

As for loopy khan that idea is a load of bull dung. The number of fast food establishments around here will make you go wow and I don't live in London which must be though the roof with fast food gaffs.

I'm still not seeing the connection between the acid attack and fast food... ...

...at any rate, I'm pretty sure the Mayor of London can multitask, unlike the POTUS...

Maybe the noxious substance was a coke.

An attack on sweets is clearly an attempt to subvert British culture.

Ah, I see..

..priorities...

So, then, is there any real, verifiable evidence the Mayor of London actually places a higher priority on fast food than he does on terrorism?. I'll wait patiently for the proof...
