Labour council bans PORK from primary schools claiming it is too expensive to monitor diets of Islamic and Jewish pupils

A Labour council has banned pork from primary schools in its area claiming it is too expensive to monitor the diets of Islamic and Jewish pupils.
Islington Council, in north London, has been slammed by members of the pork industry for taking chops, sausages and bacon off the menu.
But while the local authority admits pork is no longer on the menu, it denies banning the meat - instead claiming pork is simply not provided under its current catering contract.

Islington Council in London has taken all pork products off the menu at primary schools in its area

The council has removed pork from all primary school lunches despite the fact it is still being served in Islington's secondary schools.
An Islington Council spokesman said today: 'It's not true that pork is banned in our primary schools.
'It is not currently provided in our catering contract, but if any primary school wants to serve pork we will work with them to arrange it.'

But the council has said previously that it is too expensive to serve pork because it has to monitor what every child eats, in case those whose cultural or religious beliefs forbid pork - such as Muslim or Jewish children - eat it by accident.
Chris Godfrey, a master butcher who runs the 100-year-old Godfrey's butchers in Highbury Park, said: 'I feel quite strongly about this. I don't really feel we should pander too much to other religions.

The local authority removed the meat despite the fact that pork is still being served in local secondary schools and is considered an affordable meat

'It's not a bad thing to show consideration, but that shouldn't restrict the choice of everyone else.
'The kids deserve to have a choice. I don't think this ban helps anyone.'
Dr Zoe Davies, chief executive of the National Pig Association, said: 'This is something we are particularity concerned about.
'It's something we have heard of but we wouldn't say it's common.
'It tends to happen in areas where there are large numbers of children from, for example, a Muslim background who wouldn't eat pork.
'But we would like there to be a choice. Pork is a very affordable and nutritious meat.'
Cllr Joe Caluori, Islington Council's executive member for children and families, said: 'By not having pork on the menus in our schools, we can keep down costs and reduce food waste, maximising the schools meal budget in tough financial circumstances.
'We meet regularly with our catering contractor and stakeholders and the feedback is that schools are very happy with the food offered by the service.'
A council spokesman said: 'Young children, some as young as four, of different religious and ethnic backgrounds may not know which foods contain pork, or may not realise the importance of avoiding it due to their culture or beliefs.
'Monitoring each child, every day ensuring they are avoiding pork, is an unnecessary cost at a time of tight budgets.'

The question is, have they bacon it too far, or is there wurst things to be worrying about?

Hande hoche!

I blame the Greens and UKIP.

You'd think the National Pig Association would have welcomed the news.

I am thinking of giving up pork myself after being at a pig "farm" recently. It really is a dirty product.

All sounds fair enough.

And indeed (cue drumroll): it is also a good reason for not providing costly halal/kosher meat when there are perfectly acceptable fish/vegetarian alternatives.

If a muslim child eats pork before midnight they turn into a gremlin.

Good. More pork for the rest of us. Islington was always batty anyway. The council staff there wear burquas, even the men, lest they be deemed to have offended anyone. They invented PC.

There's a Muslim fella at work who eats pork, smokes, drinks alcohol, never prays and is constantly cheating on his wife.

He's a Shi'ite Muslim.

Im not sure what children do, its as if they throw all their food into a big trough and stick their faces in instead of eating from their own plates according to these people. Im assuming the other meat served isnt halal/kosher so would face the same problem but isnt "banned"?

PizzamanIRL

What about the people who want to eat pork? Why should everyone be affected because of a minority's religion? Load of balls.

VinLieger

How about the people who dont want to eat pork.....dont eat pork?

Jesus its hardly rocket science "oh is that pork on my plate? I wont eat it so" or "Is that pork on the menu? Ill have the other option then"

Hindus can eat beef if they want. It's not actually banned in the religion, no more than eating any other animal is.

The reason a lot of hindus don't eat beef is because back in the day cows were scarcer and of more use for tilling land, pulling carts etc, and became symbols for abundance and prosperity and the like.

its a jobs for the boys club doing what a jobs for the boys club does. most food is surely labeled these days now? that, and a list of the childrens names with what they can and can't eat. don't the schools do that with children who have allergies? of course, the jews and the muslims will get the blame for it rather then the jobs for the boys club sorry i mean local authority/council

Claiming political correctness doesn't exist is far more barmy than anything Islington council could ever do.

Let's face it, this wasn't done to cater for the Jews.

As if anyone in authority cares about England's rapidly disappearing Jewish populace.

This was done as the latest act in a long history of appeasement to England's Muslim population. A population that is producing hundreds if not thousands of of young men that have and are currently grooming and raping indigenous, English children without official interruption and in media silence.

Which part of my post isn't true?

And, you're quite right, it's not far off. The racially and religiously motivated rape will happen here too eventually.

Ah, but you see, there is another view:

Hindus worship cows and they are not allowed to eat beef.Its against their sentiments.

no it wasn't. it was done to satisfy the egos in the authority themselves. and the muslims will get the blame by the rabel rousers knuckle draggers and so on.

Tis grand. The majority jumps into line with the dietary/religious beliefs of some put-upon minority. Makes perfect sense, really.

Much more benevolent than certain, spreading interpretations of Islam that call for female rape victims to be physically punished for adultery and homosexuals to be killed by being lobbed from great heights.

When the rapidly multiplying products of misogynistic cultures/religions here reach a critical mass we'll see the same mass rape of indigenous females both adult and infant we've already seen in other European countries.

Dont worry, we are quite experienced in the area already. We can pretend it never happened, do a few reports in the future and the politicians can keep kicking it down the road until we all forget.

The story isn't even true. Pork hasn't been banned by a school nor by the council. It simply isn't available under the catering contract for the borough

It's a fairly popular myth in fairness. The only reason I know it's not banned in the religion is because I have an Indian friend who explained it to me after I noticed he ate burgers! I think even a lot of Indians wrongly believe that it's banned in the religion! All animals are 'sacred' in Hinduism but none are specifically said to be above eating.

I've seen documentaries that claim that the slaughter of cows is illegal in India and it's complete nonsense. Hundreds of millions of people all over the country eat beef. Most just choose not to for whatever reason.

Bury the head there, that's right. It's the safe, easy and popular thing to do.

I honestly wish I was wrong.

Past events prove I'm right. Ongoing events prove I'm right. Future events will, sadly, prove me right.
