Islamic leaders are calling on Muslims to boycott school meals in the county of Lancashire, after it became the first local authority to refuse to supply non-stunned Halal meat to council-run establishments
This is one positive score for Britain, in caring about the cruelty to animals of the halal process. It is unfortunate, however, that the welfare of animals in the UK appears to be more important — as an overarching concern — than homeland security and the welfare of tens of thousands (up to a million) young infidel girls who were raped by Muslim rape gangs and called “easy meat” and “white trash,” while police and social workers covered it all up so as to not be deemed racist and “Islamophobic.”
Council leader Geoff Driver stated that non-Muslim children in secular schools were eating halal meat, and argued:
“This is an animal welfare issue. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s not anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim, sadly some people are trying to make it out to be,” ….My concern that animals that are slaughtered without being pre-stunned go through a lot of stress and torment when they’re actually dying,” he added.
What, pray tell, does “anti-Semitic” have to do with anything here? And with regard to being “anti-Muslim,” it certainly is not anti-Muslim to care about animal welfare, anymore than it is “anti-Muslim” to care about human rights, gender equality and public safety when it comes to the niqab.
“UK: Furious Muslims Plan Boycott After Ban on Non-Stunned Halal Meat in Schools”, by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, October 29, 2017:
Islamic leaders are calling on Muslims to boycott school meals in the county of Lancashire, after it became the first local authority to refuse to supply non-stunned Halal meat to council-run establishments.
Some twenty-seven schools in the county, including Church of England and Roman Catholic faith schools, currently serve non-stunned Halal meat, reports The Telegraph.
“This is an animal welfare issue. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s not anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim, sadly some people are trying to make it out to be,” said council leader Geoff Driver, who previously revealed that non-Muslim children at Christian and secular schools were being fed Halal meat without their parents’ knowledge or consent.
“My concern that animals that are slaughtered without being pre-stunned go through a lot of stress and torment when they’re actually dying,” he added.
Driver’s motion states that the Conservative-run municipal authority is “concerned that slaughtering animals without stunning them beforehand causes them unnecessary stress and suffering.”
Consequently, the council is resolved not to provide meat to council establishments unless animals were stunned before slaughter —with the exception of poultry, as stunning chickens can kill them, making it impossible for them to die as prescribed by Islamic rules post-stun.
The council also resolved to consult with the Lancashire Council of Mosques “on how the council can implement this whilst continuing to provide meals which comply with the Muslim community’s religious beliefs”, and to undertake further investigations with the Lancashire Council of Mosques into the stunning of poultry before slaughter.
Documents seen by The Telegraph indicate that Lancashire Council is concerned by the potential financial impact of a Muslim boycott, which saw it climb down from a temporary ban on non-stunned Halal meat in 2012 — and is worried about negative media coverage, too.
here have been a number of scandals surrounding Halal meat in the United Kingdom in recent years.
Breitbart London exclusively revealed that Queen Elizabeth Hospital in London was serving only Halal meat in September 2017, two years after an undercover investigation revealed “shocking” animal abuse in Halal slaughterhouses — only for the British government to claim it had nothing to do with religion.
Animal welfare campaigners handed Downing Street a 100,000-signature petition to ban non-stun slaughter backed by celebrities such as comedian Ricky Gervais and Queen guitarist Brian May in November 2016, with organisers accusing the food industry of “pandering to the minority group[s]” which indulge in the practice…..
Linde Barrera says
Why can’t these British schools serve vegetarian meals with lots of different beans and other non-meat proteins? Sometimes I think great Britain is “finished” due to their naive attitudes about Islam. I hope I am wrong.
Pet Charles says
They are not naive!! How many times does your country have to be blown up in the name of a religion before you decide to learn more about the religion?

Guys, did you misread the story? Britain has *banned* Halal meat in schools–this is a *good* thing.
It is also unexpected. I’m glad to see it.
Aardvark says
Sadly, Britain has not banned halal meat in schools.
The county of Lancashire has banned unstunned halal meat, but are still serving meat that has been chanted over by barbarians. Which costs extra, of course.
It’s a small step in the right direction, but not really enough.
And note that poultry are still being slaughtered without pre-stunning.
Save Europe says
Because if they sold vegetarian meals to 5 times a day, arse raising Muslims, there would certainly be a flatulence problem in the UK….
steve says
Maybe Muslims will eventually ”boycott” England……one can only hope…and pray…..
john spielman says
good one!
R Russell says
Why do you only want to them to boycott England when the article makes it obvious they are referring to halal meat in the UK?
gravenimage says
Steve means he wants Muslims to *leave* England. I have said the same.
Save Europe says
One can only hope!
David says
If Muslims boycott school meals it will save money for the schools, so it is a good idea.
Muslims don’t care about animal suffering, and neither do they care about humans suffering. They are quite happy slitting throats.
john spielman says
yup dhimmis are no different than a cow or a goat!
Aardvark says
And if mohammedans are boycotting the meals there is no reason to serve halal meat at all, whether pre-stunned or not!
Carolyne says
And who cares if they don’t eat lunch at school? Its their choice. Maybe they should goons complete hunger strike. Getrid of a lot of them
John S. Obeda says
When the animal dies in a halal manner, does it slowly bleed to death?. . . I blame the stupid politicians who were ignorant about Islam that permitted Islam to enter the country in the first place. Islam does not belong in a democratic country.
R Russell says
I am vegetarian because I refuse to eat halal meat which has had prayers said over it to a god who isn’t my god. All supermarkets near me only sell halal meat and I cannot find online a nearby butcher’s shop which keep non halal meat.
Wont be long now until sharia takes over in the UK. Only a Christian Revival will stop it.
Pet Charles says
“Church of England and Roman Catholic faith schools” serving halal? These faith schools obviously have no faith!! Why would an Islamic person send their child to a Roman Catholic school? And why would the Roman Catholic “faith school” not assert its own “faith”?
Tami Misledus says
It is actually against Christian Belief to eat food that has been “blessed” by a blasphemous cult, such as islam.
But Hey Ho. Halal is cheaper, so who cares about beliefs? Certainly not the Catholic Church!
John S. Obeda says
I understand that halal meat is more expensive and that because of halal some money is sent to some Muslims who then can use it to extend Islam.
Halal Bacon says
as it is always the cult leaders of islam, the top is rotten like a week old corpse with flies buzzing around

“This is an animal welfare issue. Nothing more, nothing less.”
No. It’s also a matter of principle as to who’s standards determine the way in which the UK is run. Minorities do not have a right to dictate to majorities especially where this involves being downright offensive, as the UK has always deemed animal cruelty to be. So the muslims want to boycott the meals? Good, let them. They can bring their disgusting halal meat in sandwiches if they want and preferably eat it off school premises where they won’t offend the decent pupils. Or if they don’t want to eat at all, even better. Dieting will not harm them and they could treat it as a bit of extra fasting which they’re apparently already used to. School routine can then become one long Ramadan for them and they’ll earn all those extra points in Paradise when they get there sooner (preferably!) or later.
Shmoovie says
Agreed! Love that CYA statement from council leader Driver. Nothing against Islam, but..
I am firmly against halal (or any mistreatment of animals) and don’t see sadistic halal slaughter as anything but barbarism. Of course his stand against it is admirable, but his denial of it having something to do with islam shows weakness coming out the other side of his face. He objects to halal– but won’t see the islamic connection to similar barbarity towards humans in British streets or backyard gardens?!
Second your “GOOD” as well. People are increasingly exhausted by the constant yowling of “poor pitiful us” from this particular immigrant group.
Bring your cruel, tax-paid lunch from home!
Jayell says
I once had the dubious pleasure of taking a flight on Qatar airlines and noticing on the menu card that all the food had been prepared ‘according to strict Islamic principles’ only after I’d simply stated my ‘normal’ dietary requirements online when booking the flight (nothing Islamic mentioned then, I seem to remember!). So I told the steward that I didn’t want the disgusting stuff when they brought the beef substances round. Oh, shock horror! What did I want then? Turn the damned plane round so that I could get off and take a civilised mode of transport (at least I wouldn’t be told where Mecca was every 5 minutes)! No, I didn’t say that really, unfortunately. I just had the vegetarian meal – at least they can’t torture plants before they die, unless they’ve found a way of doing that as well. I wouldn’t put that past them.
Save Europe says
I’m not entirely sure about that! I’ve heard many stories regarding Muslim Somali males boring holes into watermelons and then satisfying themselves!
I wonder about leftists says
The poor dears, you should not get any halal meet in English public schools, and you know , we in the West do not like people who torture animals, and give them a horrible death to let them bleed empty, just because you like it better, more the cannibal way. Go back to your own countries and put all your atrocities
in your own country and then I still feel sorry for your women, children and animals, but keep everything away from us and keep away your Sharia, go home, learn to get your own country in order and live of your own money and not on us.
Very shortly, I expect in 2018, all our economies will fall apart. They want you to pay double the prices for health insurance, medicines, vegetables and fruit. That is what you all did, you can only make a life of violence, conquering, beheading the ones who don’t carry the same faith, raping etc. and you will have to change at a certain moment, otherwise it is the end of Islam, the way it is now. Can’t wait until that happens.
Bob says
I applaud your suggestion, “Go back to your own countries…”Ask them for benefits, housing and other special treatment. Don’t wait – just go!
mortimer says
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS is unacceptable in the 21st century. We are not 7th century barbarians. No one should allow 7th century barbarity to continue.
All non-stunned meat should be banned EVERYWHERE… NO EXCEPTIONS.
ploome says
Does anyone see a connection between school meals and grossly overweight children epidemic?
Why do we need school meals anyway?
Sandwich and fruit from home should do it.
gravenimage says
Not every family can provide meals.
I grew up on welfare, and if it hadn’t been for provided school lunches my siblings and I would have gone hungry.
gravenimage says
But they should not have to provide tortured animal carcasses for these ravening Mohammedans. Good move by the UK schools.
Eur says
They want it all, they want Islamic norms. They don’t accept reciprocity.
pdxnag says
Nothing says gratuitous torture and violence better than Halal, aka followers of perfect-but-still-dead Mohammad.
Anti-jihad says
Thank God the British have finally stood up for their own standards for once instead of bowing to Islam.
Michael Copeland says
Alas, it is only one area – the county of Lancashire.
Voytek Gagalka says
They call for boycott? Ignore them: let them starve!
Bob says
I applaud your suggestion, “Go back to your own countries…”Ask them for benefits, housing and other special treatment. Don’t wait – just go!
Ciudadano says
I would be concerned about a jihad attack over this issue. Usually when “moderate” Muslims don’t get their way imposing islamic ways through victimization and protest, the jihadists among them try to achieve the same goals through violence.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Very much agreed. Can guarantee that some are going to take this as the dhimmis disputing the rightful rule of the muslims.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Agreed. Who cares if they boycott the school meals. That makes them like most other responsible parents who already make their childrens meals instead of passing that responsibility on to the state.
Even the fact that the high and mighty islamic leaders call for a boycott shows how important they think they are in the UK.
Manny says
They should be lucky they’re not getting pork. And why is that in almost all things, Islam advocates the cruelest of procedures?

UK: Muslims plan boycott over halal meat ban in schools
…………………….
This is good news–an excellent and unexpected decision.
I hope Muslims boycott the entire country and leave–but that is too much to hope for.
Keys says
Let them eat cake !
DRHazard says
To a Muslim citizen of a non-Muslim country integration means you change to accommodate me, even if I don’t really care about the issue at hand. And these are the “moderate” Muslims who pretty much all harbor the underlying belief that they are superior to everyone else and that democracy is just a tool to be abused in the service of their goal to dominate others and force their primitive culture on the rest of the World.
abad says
Maybe the UK can next ban Islam on its soil.
Islam has no place in the UK.
Leondegrance says
“Consequently, the council is resolved not to provide meat to council establishments unless animals were stunned before slaughter —with the exception of poultry, as stunning chickens can kill them, making it impossible for them to die as prescribed by Islamic rules post-stun.”
We wouldn’t want that would we? How naive are the UK authorities? Halal meat is part of Sharia Law. And a faux Jizya tax. Does the UK intend to follow Sharia Law? No? Then stop Halal certification altogether. Pandering to violent cultists is not a particularly bright idea.
Edge of darkness says
I live in Lancashire, England-most of these boycotted meals will be free meals-many of these Muslim families are on welfare/benefits-save the tax payers a small fortune if they boycott!-no sympathy, no animal should die in pain unnecessarily to suit religion.
Anne Smith says
I think the point here is being lost. It is quite subtle. It is against the law in Britain to be anti-Muslim, thanks to Sharia May and the “hate crime”.
It is however very well thought of everywhere to be pro animal welfare – most Britons adore animals and the RSPCA gets far more donations that any child charity. Therefore couching any move against Muslim domination in terms of animal welfare becomes a subtle and effective move which cannot be countermanded without the argument against being seen to be cruel and nasty.
Well done Mr Driver. Good move.
fbijihadidefender says
Can we ask Islamic Jihadist had the infidel stunned before beheaded them ? Of course not, Islamic teaching tell us that infidel have no human welfare nor basic human right.
