(UK) - A landlord is being investigated by the police after a pub sign saying "faggots and mince not on the menu" was taken as a slur against gay people. The message was written on the blackboard menu outside the pub in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, to mark the grand reopening. The pub's previous tenants John Williams, 37, and his wedded partner Lee Williams, 26, said the sign was offensive and "disgusting". John said: "I couldn't believe it. I was driving past and when I read it I knew they were talking about us."
