Government's response to banning halal

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

The government has finally responded to the petition to ban halal slaughter in the UK and of course the news is not good.

Petition

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Ban the inhumane practice of halal slaughter in the UK.

On the subject of farmed animal slaughter, defra state 'it is an absolute offence to cause or permit an animal avoidable excitement, pain or suffering. There are also specific rules on handling, stunning, slaughter or killing of animals.'

Government response

The religious slaughter of animals without prior stunning is permitted in the UK. The laws governing animal welfare at slaughter in both the EU and UK require animals to be stunned before slaughter, but make an exemption from this requirement for religious slaughter carried out by Jews and Muslims.

The Government recognises the needs of certain communities and accepts the importance which they attach to the right to slaughter animals for food in accordance with their beliefs.

When animals are slaughtered, the process must be humane and comply with the Welfare of Animals (Slaughter or Killing) Regulations 1995, as amended governing animal welfare at slaughter. When, for reasons of religion, animals are not stunned before slaughter, the operation must be carried out without causing unnecessary suffering, and in compliance with specific controls.

Religious slaughter may only take place in licensed slaughterhouses (approved premises), and Official Veterinarians of the Food Standards Agency monitor and enforce the rules set out in the Regulations daily.

The Government is aware that the slaughter of animals without prior stunning is an issue in which many people and organisations are interested, and, as such, will continue to engage with interested parties in order to find a way forward that is acceptable to those concerned.

For those of you not familiar with halal slaughter please watch the clip above. Be warned that it is graphic and extremely disturbing to see animals treated in this way. This is more proof that islam is not compatable with Britain.

Illegal immigration given the go-ahead and Wales

EDL Demo, Blackpool - Justice for Charlene Downes 31/08/2010

Tomorrow sees the EDL’s Blackpool demo which is in honour of Charlene Downes.

In November 2003, 14-year-old Charlene kissed her mum goodbye and went to Blackpool’s North Pier with a friend. She was never seen again.

Although Charlene’s body was never found, kebab shop owner Iyad Albattikhi, who boasted of having sex with Charlene, and his business partner and co-accused, Mohammed Reveshi, were overheard joking with fellow takeaway employees about how she had been chopped up, and how her body “had gone into the kebabs”. She was placed in a mincing machine, “bones and all”.

Last year, although taped conversations were used as evidence, the jury failed to reach a verdict. The subsequent retrial collapsed owing to concerns over a key prosecution witness. Both men were cleared of the charges.

The case is still open.

If you are in the area, please show your support.

Dirty tactics against the EDL grow to new level

I had to laugh when I saw the following article. The scum in charge of our country will try anything to discredit patriots. And what lengths they go to...

Seven men were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to blow up a Bournemouth mosque.

The men, six of whom are members of the England Defence League, were taken to Poole and Southampton police stations for questioning before being released without charge.

Among those arrested was EDL member John Broomfield, 27, who was pulled from his stationary vehicle after armed police opened fire on his van in Corfe Castle village.

A spokesman for Dorset Police said: 'Dorset Police can confirm that as part of an investigation surrounding threats to a Bournemouth mosque a total of seven people were arrested for conspiracy to cause an explosion.

'Following an investigation police can now confirm these people have been released without charge.'

He added: 'One of the people arrested was detained safely by armed officers in the Corfe Castle area.

'We've been working very closely with the Muslim community and our local safer neighbourhood teams have been providing advice and reassurance throughout.

'At this stage there is no indication whatsoever that any of the mosques in Dorset are under threat of attack.'

Officers had followed Broomfield home from work and waited until he was stuck in traffic in the tourist spot before they pounced.

When his van came to a halt they fired rounds into the tyres.

They then smashed a window and dragged him out in shocking scenes that followed an investigation into alleged plans to blow up a nearby mosque.

The marksmen used special rapid tyre deflation rounds to disable the white Ford Escort van.

Police then swooped on Mr Broomfield's home in Swanage and seized computer equipment, mobile phones and passports.

Mr Broomfield, the head of the Dorset EDL, said yesterday: 'While travelling home from work I was stopped and arrested by armed police.

'I approached a roundabout near Corfe Castle and there were about six cars in front of me.

'There was an unmarked police car in a lay-by and within seconds of me stopping police appeared from it, ran up the road and shot at my tyres and smashed the window in.

'It was extremely scary. I was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to cause an explosion at a Bournemouth mosque.'

He continued: 'Five other members of the EDL were also arrested and held for 24 hours for questioning while searches of their homes took place. Then all of us were released without charge.'

Of the alleged plan to blow up the mosque, he added: 'There has been no conspiracy, there has never been any conspiracy.

'The EDL is not a terrorist organisation. We are not anti-Muslim, we are anti-Muslim extremism.'

The EDL has been leading demonstrations against Muslim extremism around England since 2009.

Thousands of people have attended its protests - many of which have involved racist and Islamophobic chanting. Organisers, however, insist it is not a racist organisation.

You are too white to be American, says Latino KKK

Illegal immigration supporting Brown Beret protesters harass American patriots in front of Californians rallied in front of Angel Stadium (Anaheim, CA) that are trying to support Arizona's SB 1070 law on Tuesday July 13, 2010.

Nicknamed the Tan Klan or Latino KKK, the Brown Berets are a paramilitary organization founded in the 1960's that support illegal immigration as a way to forge a racially pure homeland for Latino's by overthrowing part or all of the United States. Many of these brown Nazis call their plans for a racist homeland 'Aztlan'.

While this woman brazenly screams racist comments through a bull horn, she can do so because the Obama administration and most of the major news networks in America have her back.

While many in the media will conceal this incident, coverage of the NAACP's false claim the Tea Party Movement is racist can be found on all networks.

If America knew the truth about the real violence and racism that is pervasive in the pro illegal alien and pro Comprehensive Immigration Reform AMNESTY movement, then CIR would be destroyed.

America needs to abandon the Obama, McCain, Kennedy, Bush Amnesty agenda for illegal aliens and move to enforce the existing border and immigration laws instead which will slowly push illegal aliens to return to their home.

Stop foreign aid!

Andrew Neill destroys the Conservative Government Minister and expenses fat cat Alan Duncan which was recorded from The Daily Politics, 20 July 2010 BBC ONE

Britain as a nation is bankrupt. Public services have faced massive cuts which is believed to lead to higher levels of unemployment. Yet the British government is increasing foreign aid and not using Taxpayers money to help the British people who are unemployed or facing severe problems because of the economic climate.

STOP FOREIGN AID AND STOP FOREIGN WARS!! Charity Begins at home!!

A quarter of council tax is used for town hall pensions

More than a quarter of all the money collected in council tax goes to pay the pensions of town hall workers, figures showed yesterday.

Council tax payers stumped up £5.4billion to maintain the gold-plated pensions of council staff, they revealed.

This amounts to just under 25.5 per cent of the total £21.2billion raised from council tax payers, or £290 of an average council tax bill in the year 2008/09.

It is exactly half the total £10.8billion cost of paying for town hall pensions in the year, with the rest met from the fund paid for by town hall workers' pension contributions.

An analysis last week from the Office for National Statistics showed that the overall bill to taxpayers for unfunded public sector pensions amounts to more than £16,000 each for every man, woman and child in the country.

Israel To Get Largest Ever Military Handout From US

The United States plans to provide Israel with its most extensive military aid package in history.

The US Assistant Secretary of State, Andrew J. Shapiro claims that the increased US military assistance should help Tel Aviv reach tough decisions in peace talks with the Palestinians.

He said that there is “hope that the administration’s expanded commitment to Israel’s security will advance the process by helping the Israeli people seize this opportunity and take the tough decisions necessary for a comprehensive peace,” Haaretz reported.

Speaking at the Brookings Institution’s Saban Center for Middle East Policy in Washington, D.C., Shapiro said that the US plans to bolster Israel’s security by providing funding for the Iron Dome anti-missile systems.

Washington also plans to sell Israel new fighter jets.

Shapiro said that since Israel is facing some of the toughest challenges in its history, US President Barack Obama administration has asked Congress for nearly $2.775 billion in security assistance funding “specifically for Israel” in 2010.

“It is the largest such request in US history,” he added.

And now for another take on the same story...

US President Barack Obama has signed the foreign aid budget law for 2010 which includes the granting of $2.775 billion in security aid to Israel.

The Israeli Ynet news website reported that the budget signed by Obama, for the first time, also grants $500 million to the Palestinian Authority.

The aid also includes $100 million to be used by US General Keith Dayton, who is in charge of training the Palestinian security forces in the West Bank.

The aid will be handed over to the Palestinians under the condition that the American taxpayers’ money will only be transferred to a Palestinian government whose members accept the conditions of the international Quartet – the United States, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations. The conditions include recognizing Israel, renouncing violence and accepting past agreements signed with the Tel Aviv regime.

The $3 billion aid is comprised of $2 billion in security aid and $1 billion in civilian aid.

The annual American security aid to Israel increased to $2.4 Billion after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office and gradually relinquished the civilian aid.

The aid is accompanied by special additions to the Israeli military industries for the development of technologies, particularly in the missile field.

EDL Dudley 17th July 2010

Britain pays Calais migrants £3,500 to go home - before they even get here

British taxpayers have paid out more than £1 million to persuade hundreds of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants to return home – before they even enter the UK.

Foreigners attempting to cross the English Channel at the French port of Calais are offered free flights and awarded up to £3,500 to help start businesses back home.

The Home Office-backed Global Calais Project has persuaded 468 ‘irregular migrants’ to return to their countries of origin at a cost of £1.2  million to the UK Exchequer.

Among those to take up the offer were 50 Afghans, 20 Sudanese, eight Libyans and five Indians – none of whom had a legal right to travel to or live in Britain.

Last year, 281 illegal immigrants took advantage of the generous offer, a rate of more than five a week. The bizarre incentive is equivalent to 14 years’ wages for a worker in Afghanistan.

The Home Office also admitted paying out almost £80 million in resettlement grants to 21,506 people who had already reached the UK. The sum is equivalent to the annual salaries of 800 family doctors or 3,200 teachers.

Almost 17,000 failed asylum seekers from 122 countries have taken advantage of Voluntary Assisted Return and Reintegration Programme (VARRP) so far, including 1,597 Albanians, 289 Indians and 39 Poles.

In total, the Home Office admitted paying the IOM a total of £79.2 million over the past five years. Last year, this newspaper revealed that an immigrant convicted of the horrific killing of a 17-month-old baby was given £4,500 by the Government as a ‘bribe’ to leave the country.

Muslims are waging civil war against us, claims police union

Radical Muslims in France's housing estates are waging an undeclared "intifada" against the police, with violent clashes injuring an average of 14 officers each day.

As the interior ministry said that nearly 2,500 officers had been wounded this year, a police union declared that its members were "in a state of civil war" with Muslims in the most depressed "banlieue" estates which are heavily populated by unemployed youths of north African origin.

It said the situation was so grave that it had asked the government to provide police with armoured cars to protect officers in the estates, which are becoming no-go zones.

The number of attacks has risen by a third in two years. Police representatives told the newspaper Le Figaro that the "taboo" of attacking officers on patrol has been broken.
Instead, officers – especially those patrolling in pairs or small groups – faced attacks as soon as they tried to arrest locals.

Senior officers insisted that the problem was essentially criminal in nature, with crime bosses on the estates fighting back against tough tactics.

The interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, who is also the leading centre-Right candidate for the presidency, has sent heavily equipped units into areas with orders to regain control from drug smuggling gangs and other organised crime rings. Such aggressive raids were "disrupting the underground economy in the estates", one senior official told Le Figaro.

However, not all officers on the ground accept that essentially secular interpretation. Michel Thoomis, the secretary general of the hardline Action Police trade union, has written to Mr Sarkozy warning of an "intifada" on the estates and demanding that officers be given armoured cars in the most dangerous areas.

He said yesterday: "We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their 'comrades' free when they are arrested."

He added: "We need armoured vehicles and water cannon. They are the only things that can disperse crowds of hundreds of people who are trying to kill police and burn their vehicles."

However, Gerard Demarcq, of the largest police unions, Alliance, dismissed talk of an "intifada" as representing the views of only a minority.

Mr Demarcq said that the increased attacks on officers were proof that the policy of "retaking territory" from criminal gangs was working.

Mayors in the worst affected suburbs, which saw weeks of riots and car-burning a year ago, have expressed fears of a vicious circle, as attacks by locals lead the police to harden their tactics, further increasing resentment.

As if to prove that point, there were angry reactions in the western Paris suburb of Les Mureaux following dawn raids in search of youths who attacked a police unit on Sunday. The raids led to one arrest. They followed clashes on Sunday night when scores of youths attacked seven officers who had tried to arrest a man for not wearing his seat belt while driving. That driver refused to stop, and later rammed a police car trying to block his path.

The mayor of Les Mureaux, Francois Garay, criticised aggressive police tactics that afterwards left "the people on the ground to pick up the pieces".

Swadlincote - Islamists to protest at Mercians' march

ISLAMISTS are to mark The Mercian Regiment’s first march through Swadlincote by holding a counter-demonstration demanding ‘the withdrawal of British troops from Muslim lands’.

The planned protest emerged 48 hours after the Mail revealed that the battalions would parade through the town after accepting an invitation to receive the freedom of South Derbyshire.

Zakeel Abbas, the former Midlands spokesman of banned web-based group Islam4UK, said:

“We as Muslims living in Britain will be holding a counter-demonstration against these soldiers as a voice for all those innocent men, women and children killed and murdered by these socalled heroes.

The presence of British soldiers in the Muslim lands has caused outrage and unease in the Muslim community, especially the youth, which has led to a mass increase in radicalisation.

As a Muslim living in Britain I believe I have a covenant of security as long as my life, wealth and honour are protected. As we have seen, some don’t believe this and an example is 7/7.

The only solution is that the British Government withdraw its troops from the Muslim lands now.”

Thousands of protesters from throughout Europe could join the demonstration, predicted Mr Abbas, a 33-year-old with no fixed address who spends time in Burton.

Waving banners bearing slogans, they would hold a peaceful rally which would target soldiers who, although acting on the Government’s instructions, were ‘not robots’ but people with thoughts and emotions capable of distinguishing between right and wrong.

Mr Abbas said he would contact the authority about the demonstration.

However, council leader Bob Wheeler said: “We are very proud the Mercian Regiment has accepted the invitation and I expect that pride is felt by the overwhelming majority of the people of South Derbyshire. I understand there may be those that don’t agree and they have a right to their opinions and they also have a perfect right to peaceful protest.”

Opposition Labour group leader Kevin Richards said: “It upsets me because we have all forms of race and religion within the armed forces and they are all out there doing their jobs, whether they are in Afghanistan or other countries.”

Council chief executive Frank McArdle said: “I can confirm we have received a telephone call regarding the proposed parade. The caller indicated his objection and stated he intended to organise a demonstration in protest."

No date has been set by the regiment for the parade. The public will be kept informed as soon as it has been arranged.

Shopping centre bosses approve 'Asian squat toilets'

Yet more pandering to foreigners...

Middle Eastern-style 'squat' toilets are to be fitted in a shopping centre after bosses attended a cultural awareness course.

WCs at Rochdale's Exchange shopping centre will include two Nile pans alongside traditional western toilets when they reopen following a refurbishment.

The pans differ from western toilets as the user is able to squat over them, rather than sitting. They are preferred by some members of the Asian community for cultural reasons and were installed to give staff and customers the option of using them.

The decision to install pans in the ladies and gents toilets came about after centre management attended a cultural training course with community activist Ghulam Rasul Shahzad. The retired Rochdale Council training officer runs courses for the police and other organisations about cultural understanding and community cohesion.

Mr Shahzad took the centre manager Lorenzo O'Reilly and his team on a tour around Central Mosque, including a look at its toilets, as part of the course.

He said: 'The management at the centre were very committed to improving the service they offered to the community and were very responsive. We always work together to understand each other from both sides and find a balance. That is the beauty of Rochdale. That is why I am proud to be a Rochdalian.'

A spokeswoman for the centre said: 'We regularly receive cultural awareness training from Ghulam and when we were planning the toilets this was something that cropped up.'

The toilets will open next Monday.

Nile Pan toilets can be bought from a limited number of UK plumbing retailers, priced about £200.

Rochdale hit the headlines during this year's General Election campaign when pensioner Gillian Duffy was dismissed by Gordon Brown as a 'bigoted woman' when she voiced concern about immigration.

Government research last year showed more than a quarter of primary school pupils in Rochdale spoke English as a foreign language - and named one school, Heybrook Primary, where every single one of the 453 pupils spoke English as a second language.

The town's council recently produced a special 'Black and Minority Ethnic' housing strategy for the town 'in recognition of the increasing ethnic diversity in Rochdale' and the minorities' 'level of housing need'.

In the aftermath of the 2001 Oldham race riots, Rochdale was placed on an 'at risk' list by the Home Office whichwas monitoring possible spread of such violence.
