Subway removes bacon and ham from UK branches and introduces Halal-only meat - Polidicks

I'm in the UK. I want to enjoy bacon, I want to enjoy Ham, I want to enjoy all the food I could enjoy 5 years ago. I would prefer the meat to be killed in a humane, modern way, which didn't cause the animal any additional suffering to promote some dogma.

[QUOTE=The Combine;44687176]Why is the UK so pro muslim again? Did I miss something? Not just this article but I hear a lot about the fact that things change in the UK so Muslims don't feel "opressed".[/QUOTE] Mass immigration and diversity being forced upon the population and a "racism taboo" placed upon those who oppose it.

[QUOTE=Bobie;44687274]you don't seem to understand. subway has nothing to do with the government. there is no 'shadow subway minister', there is no department of sandwiches, or institution of subs. subway is a multinational corporation that understands profit and maximising said profit. subway will literally cater to any ethnicity if they demand one thing in specific; and if a subway is located in a primarily muslim area, why the hell should they provide meats they [i]know[/i] aren't going to be purchased?[/QUOTE] There's nothing wrong with selling halal meat, but they stopped selling bacon and pork, at least that's what the article says Why should people who like pork stop eating pork to please the minorities?

Well fuck that, seeing how they aren't offering both this is a ridiculous move and doesn't help us with the whole Muslim England thing...

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;44687343]There's nothing wrong with selling halal meat, but they stopped selling bacon and pork, at least that's what the article says Why should people who like pork stop eating pork to please the minorities?[/QUOTE] they're not pleasing minorities. they're maximising profit in majority-muslim areas.

But then, you can't oppose islam without being "islamiphobic" or being branded a racist, even if you have logical\intelligent means such as those you just stated.

I thought it was a stereotype that British people flip shit over anything to do with Muslims.

or you could just [B]not[/B] get ham or bacon when you go in... seriously, just because you won't eat it doesn't mean the rest of the world is evil for eating it [editline]30th April 2014[/editline] in all fairness too, as much as goats are essential to middle eastern life and tradition, pigs and pork are deeply ingrained into European cuisine and traditions.

Anyone who believes shit like that is obviously fully indoctrinated into a dogmatic belief system.

[QUOTE=Sword and Paint;44687283]Islamification.[/QUOTE] [quote]'At present, the only legal exemptions to stunning during slaughter exist for kosher and halal methods of slaughter, however, it is important to differentiate between ‘religious’ and ‘non-stun’ slaughter as around 90 per cent of all halal in the UK receives a stun before slaughter.[/quote] Maybe actually read the already-bad article you're talking about. Anyway, this is a pretty non-story considering the same exemption already exists for kosher foods, and 90% of this 'halal-only' meat is compliant with EU law. And, as someone else already mentioned, it's only something like 10% of Subways.

[QUOTE=Hardsurface;44687453]"heh im glad [i]i'm[/i] not indoctrinated" *considers opinions to be superior*[/QUOTE] im not sure what this post is trying to achieve but i give u the thumbs up : )

is this really that big of a deal oh no some muslims are getting what they want boo hoo

[QUOTE=Bobie;44687288]its 3.20 for a 6 inch or 5.20 for a footlong. where were you getting a meatball marinara for 1.20? (or -1.20)[/QUOTE] It used to be £5 for a footlong, now it's £5.20

[QUOTE=MasterFen006;44687128]I kind of doubt this, I can't find any other sources.. Plus it's Daily Mail after all![/QUOTE] They did it in one near me about 4 years ago but kept bacon on the menu because it was only optional, halal meat doesn't taste any difference as far as i know but i'd be pretty bummed if my local one stopped serving bacon.

[QUOTE=lazyguy;44687552]It used to be £5 for a footlong, now it's £5.20[/QUOTE] just get the £5 deal then

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;44687563]The Daily Mail would be sued into oblivion by Subway if this was a lie[/QUOTE] Well that's the issue - it's not an outright lie, it's more disingenuous and misleading.

[QUOTE=Megafan;44687574]Well that's the issue - it's not an outright lie, it's more disingenuous and misleading.[/QUOTE] What are the chances Daily Mail, Russia Today, Fox News; any or all of these will actually get banned from SH in foreseeable future?

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;44687647]1 in 10 Subway restaurants now engage in religious propaganda at the expense of Britons for profit Am I being misled here? I swear that's what the article is saying[/QUOTE] How did the word propaganda make it into that sentence?

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44687615]What are the chances Daily Mail, Russia Today, Fox News; any or all of these will actually get banned from SH in foreseeable future?[/QUOTE] You forgot china daily, where I get most of my articles from.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44687665]How did the word propaganda make it into that sentence?[/QUOTE] its like nazi germany, where germans were led to believe that all things jewish were terrifying. the new [i]scary[i] thing! halal meat! its muslim! it tastes the same! the ethics are no different! you should be scared!

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;44687665]How did the word propaganda make it into that sentence?[/QUOTE] It promotes halal food which is a religious concept
