I mean a stopped clock and all… but even though it is likely the right call, it’s taken significantly longer than it should have done. Almost as if they’d commissioned a survey looking for an easy, popular policy to implement that might give the superficial impression that she has feelings.

The proper name for pit bulls is American Staffordshire Terrier.

Normally the English have more fun elegant names. I guess the need to make it sound foreign so they could be more xenophobic and hateful about it took priority.

Oh come on! Actually just last week I was looking for ratchet straps for my trailer. On Amazon UK they’re a choice of " Ratchet straps 3 ton, 4 mètre", “Lorry ties 5 ton, 6 mètre” etc etc

Accidentally clicked on amazon.com and suddenly they’re “Patriot Maurader ratchet tactical straps 7 million ton” and “Screeching Eagle Parabellum Hellfire Military anti-gravity staionaryizers”

It was fuckin infantile 😂

As mentioned in the article the American Bully XL isn’t a recognised breed, so the name likely came from the owners themselves making it up.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Suella Braverman is pushing for a ban on American bully XL dogs, arguing they are a “clear and lethal danger”, particularly to children.

The home secretary announced she has commissioned urgent advice on outlawing the dogs after she highlighted an “appalling” attack on an 11-year-old girl in Birmingham.

Braverman seized on news that West Midlands police were investigating after the girl and two men who intervened were injured in the incident in the Bordesley Green area on Saturday.

Emma Whitfield, the mother of 10-year-old Jack Lis, who died after being mauled by an American bully in Caerphilly, south Wales, has been calling for a change in the law.

John Hayes, a close ally of Braverman, has been pushing in the House of Commons for a ban on the dog he has claimed is “bred to kill”.

There are four banned breeds of dog in the UK: the pit bull terrier, Japanese tosa, dogo Argentino and fila Brasileiro.

If they were popular with the upper class she wouldn’t be doing this.
