Take-Away Line of the Day: I’m Not Wild About Kentucky Fried Chicken Either, But …

… I’m not wilding about it, either.

UK’s Most Violent KFCs Revealed: The Fried Chicken Restaurants Where the MOST Mayhem Kicked Off Last Year

EXCLUSIVE: Data shows assaults at KFCs nearly every day in England and Wales

Most violent branch of the chain has been revealed as in Brixton, South London

KFC fast food restaurants in England and Wales were the scene of a violent assault nearly every day of the year in 2022, new police crime logs reveal.

Staff at the fried chicken takeaway joints face year-round aggression from angry and irate customers, and have to deal with punch-ups breaking out between diners.

Now, new police data has revealed the most violent KFC branch is the one in Brixton, South London.

The data gives details of incidents including employees being pelted with their own chicken by angry diners and one terrifying moment where staff had to barricade the doors from a mob of rampaging youths.

Fights have started inside the restaurants that have seen customers kicking and punching one another, with some disputes carrying on inside after being triggered by a car parking row outside.

The survey, carried out by freebets.com, uncovered a total of 297 assault incidents logged last year by police at KFC restaurants in England and Wales.

However, as 10 of the 44 police forces were unable to provide data the true total could be even higher.

London logged a total of 37 punch-ups at KFCs last year, with the most being recorded at the branch in Brixton Road, south London.

Videos shows how this chicken shop was the scene of chaotic fight when a woman in hair rollers chucked a wet floor cone over the counter at a worker before attempting to grab her.

The footage of the KFC in Brixton, shot in July 2019, shows the evening dispute between the two women escalate into a full-blown fight.

Having read this story, now I’m kind of interested in why one quarter of Britain’s police forces were unable to provide to the press the locations where incidents occurred.

Are the police neutral public servants, or are they political parties? What are they choosing to hide, and why?
