It's not him - if it was I'd have him.

This sockie is truely tulipe.

can I just ask why you assume I'm a sockie - I'm having a discussion on an ethical issue here. Don't such things concern any of you lot or do you just not care?

It doesn't help when you post a link to an article thats years old.

You are new yet you make comments like you have been here a while. You are either a sockie or another poster reincarnated (sp).

Your discussions on an "ethical" issue come across as racist IMO but, thats just it - it's my opinion.

the point I am making is that normal slaughterhouses do not produce meat in this way & this is why these illegal operations exist & it is in these places where the cruelty that I object to occurs. Charred meat in itself is no more or less cruel than any other type of meat becasue presumably the animal is dead at the time of blowtorching.

If you actually take the time to do proper research, you'll find that halal slaughterhouses do exist, and they are perfectly legal. You'll also find meat for non-halal consumption being produced by ropey slaughterhouses that eventually get shut down.

What you have to worry about is unscrupulous folk (of any colour) who will do anything for a buck. So, the moral of the story is, don't buy your meat of a bloke down the pub, get it from a butcher.

I suspect Churchie.

I think you're a sockie because you're too stupid to be real.

GrocerBoy, I recently saw a bunch of men laying on carrots, spuds and aubergines onto a BBQ and cook them with their skins on !

I absolutely know what you are talking about and it is barbaric to follow such practices.

Praise from one's peers indeed...

Racist? No, don't give a damn about the colour of anyone's skin or where they are from but if you live over here you have to live within certain parameters that's all.

Yes, freedom of religion is one of those parameters, thankfully.

No you don't. Where does it say that?
