Bags of white powder seized as part of a "huge drugs bust" at London's Gatwick Airport actually contained vegan cake ingredients, the British Transport Police said.

A member of staff at Purezza, a vegan restaurant with stores in London and Brighton, was transporting a suitcase filled with bags of cake mix when it was seized by police Wednesday afternoon.

    I thought she said they should eat brioche, which is a sort of pastry. It would make sense to translate it to "cake" if most English didn't know what brioche was.

    It seemed like a crystallization of a common phenomenon where those who have only known privilege cannot understand what it is to be poor and desperate.

    Read AC's wiki link. Those words were put in her mouth by her enemies. I was taught the same thing in school, but common knowledge doesn't always hold up to scrutiny.
