What I dislike about them is that if they turn up at your house you bend over backwards trying to make sure the food is of an edible type to them.

You go to their house, you're offered nut cutlet, with a take it or leave it attitude.

Should you accidentally cause a fop-as by moving the food about and asking were the bacon & egg is at? You better be prepared to duck, it's the only time the hostess will really be after blood, yours!

I'd be the last person to use any racist or homophobic terms, but to my mind, that's not the same as jokingly referring to somebody as a "treehugger". Perhaps I'm wrong and my vegan mate is secretly seething with resentment!

We're singing from the same hymn sheep, but just change 'tree hugger' to 'came down from a banana tree', or making ape like noises every time a black player has the football, and I suppose this Bill if offering faith groups, and vegetarians, similar protection from abuse.

Yeah, but the words are difficult to make out because the ink keeps running on the wool!

Stop worrying the sheep then.

It won't stand up in court.

just to skip back a few posts before the polotics if a resturant was told to have a vegitarian option it is totaly different from what KFC has done because KFC has sneakily switched to halal meat and totaly withdrawn any other kind of meat and have totaly refused to cater for the people who were their origonal customers who probably wouldnt have eaten there ever if they had started trading with halal meat.If KFC had been a halal user from teh start and sneakily switched to traditional meat in the same way many muslims woudl have been uaware of the switch and would have been eating non halal meat and there would have been uproar.

well there would have been uproar from the muslim council because lets face it muslims were scoffing down kfc long before the switch

hi everybody
there's no reason to suppose that Halaal-slaughtered meat (have you seen how it's done?) is any less offensive to the Muslim than the way the Jewish community kill their animals! (see how that's done) double question ''humane''??? question is ??
why the fuss - if you don't like the fare - stay away - it's the British way called democracy.
KFC and their like have always been in for a fast buck, so where they see fit so will their policies - of course where there is a captive market you have to cater to that need and that determination will rule geographically : large Muslim community -GIVE EM halaal - Large Jewish - GIVE em kosher - and so on -----
Oh! blind faith - see what they are all missing with the erstwhile, humble, staple protein food of Ye Olde Englande -Mr Piggy!! nowt wrong with a pack of pork scratchings -
where is the rationale behind all this - can't have this food because etc etc - please don't tell me it's of divine origin, it simply does not make sense - convince me otherwise!!
it is time that the PC brigade came down from their ivory towers and gave the majority 'back' to the majority - it is STILL England - isn't it??
carry on then

By the way, does the halal deep fried buzzard taste any different from the non-halal crap?

Just seen there's a Facebook page of people who don't agree with the changes at Accy's KFC.

A man after my own heart! I'll have a jug of ale with mine, please.

Whatever the ins and outs of faith it all boils down to a lifestyle choice and there's no getting away from it. None of us are born with preset programming to kill animals in a certain way, abstain from eating meat or only consume fruit which has dropped from the tree already.

Having any lifestyle choice forced on us, particularly one that is not traditionally British, is always going to ruffle the feathers of the masses in this country.
