        Might have been used to pin back a cap or hat to cover a packers hair and just fell down into this pack of strawberries. An accident, but obviously dangerous and the factory needs to investigate and check their packers head wear.

        Maybe you should not keep writing about it here in UK, so that not to motivate copycats?

        Why would Tories want a hard brexit that will damage the UK? People want to watch the world burn Mate.

        While debating the psychological reasons behind it can be fascinating, the short answer is because they're a massive c*nt.

        By accident I would think. People do lodge needles and pins behind lapels etc, and they do drop out on occasion.
