The gent in the picture goes by the moniker of Joey Carbstrong. That’s obviously not his real name. He’s actually called Quentin Carbstrong.
No, he’s not, but at any rate Mr Carbstrong is an Australian vegan activist and is seen here protesting against cruelty towards pigs outside Sainsbury’s London HQ. It also looks like an unsympathetic passer-by is taunting him with what could well be a bacon roll.
A former gang member, Joey gave up a life of crime and substance misuse after a six-month stretch in the big hoose, and now advocates for animal rights instead. He’s a good lad.
Under The Counter was, however, disappointed that the huge ‘269’ tattooed on his neck is not an obscure sexual reference but rather the tag number of a baby cow rescued from a Tel Aviv abattoir.
Now, UTC loves a wee calf, but he’d rather have a fortnight.
