Hundreds lose Longton takeaway fight

“Great, more disgusting food to get the population fatter than ever.

362 people signed against it...I'd be amazed if this place saw anything like that number of unique customers walk through it's doors in the first 3 years of being open. The council is a joke. The guys name is Mohammed, ever likely it got approved.”

“@ magnum57
Who says,
"The Jewish Kosher slaughter method is very similar, the animals throat is cut with a very sharp bladed knife.
You don't hear to many people getting uptight about it though." unquote.

To which I say, 'That probably has a lot to do with the fact that you don't see many Jewish Takeaways on our High Streets.
And the reason for this, or one of the main reasons, is that whereas the Muslim Population of the UK is 2.87 million; the Jewish Population in stark contrast -is under 300,000 (0.3 million) .. In other words, for every single Jewish person in the UK -there are nine Muslim people.

Both punch above their weight when it comes to who has the say on such matters as 'the inhumane slaughter' of our farm animals.”

“@ clem 51 ...who says,
I believe the Halal method of slaughter should be illegal. I'm surprised the RSPCA haven't taken this to the top long before now!"

To which I say, 'They have' -and they get no where. Why? Because the Muslim voice carries more weight -the Mosques and associated Islamic Councils kick up an almighty fuss -every time the merest hint of a change in the law is aired.... whether it be discussed by the RSPCA or other like minded body.

Religion is Power. It shouldn't be -but it is.”

Halal and Kosher slaughter 'must end'

The method of animal slaughter used by Jews and Muslims should be banned immediately, according to an independent advisory group.

The Farm Animal Welfare Council (FAWC), which advises the government on how to avoid cruelty to livestock, says the way Kosher and Halal meat is produced causes severe suffering to animals.

The Humanists movement, which has previously called for the abolition of ritual slaughter, said ethical values should be put above religious ones.

"There is no imperative for Muslims or Judaists to eat meat produced in this manner," said spokesman Roy Saich.

"There is no reason why they should not simply abstain from eating meat altogether if they do not wish to eat the same meat as the rest of us."

All above carried on BBC News Channel... 2003 (and nothing has been followed up -eleven years later. Speaks for itself does it not -on who has the loudest voice.”

“Obviously it has nothing to do with the local Asian councillor pushing the application through for his mates, has it. The whole lot stinks, if some Englishman wanted to open a fish & Chip shop I wonder if he would have got permission.”

“DO YOU WANT REEEELLLLIIIISSSSHH ON THAT MATE?”

“@Speccy9eyes

Hahahaha DREAM ON.

Better still, WAKE UP and smell the coffee.”

“On another subject taff, if drugs were legalised, how much more tax could the inland revenue raise!”

“Many supermarkets sell much of their meats from "Halal" supliers, but only advertise a small amount as Halal: Asda in particular.

That means if you choose NOT to buy Halal meat because you do not agree with the barbaric methods of killing method and buy ASDA's usual meat range, you are most likely buyng Halal food anyway! Bet you didn't know that did you?
One other point to consider... with so many takeaways, how can they all survive financially? the number of staff at each one and for so many hours they are open... Obviously they must have some other source of income besides kebabs!

Think about it guys!”

The good folk of Meir would not know what a veg or fruit looks like, the only salad they ever come across is in their Doner Kebab”
