Election

The main, in fact the only, butcher in my Tesco is a purely Halal butcher.

To make a point, next time you`re in Tesco, pretend to look at a shopping list and ask the butcher for an ounce of that, a couple of slices of this, and then when they`ve bagged them all up for you ask if it`s Halal and when they say yes, just say "keep it" and walk off.

yes, I imagine it would seem like that to you.

That's all she ever thinks about,
Riding with the wind."


Imagine ahead Sir!

Cross was found near a freshly killed woman, not a chicken.

Hold the bus there, Wick!

From some of the posts earlier in this thread you would think that you couldn't move for Muslims in good old Blighty!

I agree with Karl that this is a business decision by Tesco to appeal to the largest possible customer base, rather than any kind of "Islamisation by stealth" or pro- Islamic agenda.

By and large people are apathetic about where their meat comes from which makes this a viable business decision.

I agree with Herlock that there should be choice (well actually I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so the whole meat-eating thing is anathema to me, but I'm not so naive as to think that everyone is going to switch to tofu any day soon)!

I have always thought that there's a weird disconnect between genuine love of animals and a willingness to ignore the cruel realities of battery farming and slaughter.

FWIW I signed the petition too.

I’m a meat eater Ms D but I love animals which I realise is a bit of a contradiction…but it’s one that millions face every day all across the world. Animals are also killed by animals for food of course and we all know that the world will never stop eating meat. I, like the majority I hope, feel that animals should at least be killed in the most humane way possible. A few on here appear to disagree and the suffering of the animal appears not to register a glimmer with them. It also appears not to bother them that two ‘groups’ can get exempted from the law that safeguards animals against needless suffering.

Thats the point, there isn't.

Slight correction, Cross was found standing about 12ft from a freshly slaughtered woman.

Isn’t it a pity that some can’t find a better hobby than just irritating people online because they have no worthwhile content to add. A bit sad imo.

Want to come for a dinner?!


The Baron

Thanks for the confirmation….not that I needed it of course.

[Herlock Sholmes]

That reminds of the Cross mob mantra and how Cross was found by a freshly slaughtered chicken.
