On a Fishy Note – Where’s the Bacon, Miss? UK Stealth Halal?
Just got in before the rain started, to find a very fishy story from Portsmouth, England, where parents got rightly up in arms over an arrogant note sent out by a head teacher who seems to think ‘multicult’ is marvellous.
- Somebody should tell Julie Smith that this is an English school in England, so if anyone wants a non-British cultural education, they should be sending their kids off to boarding schools overseas. The note read:
‘We have a new menu for school dinners starting on April 20, 2015. ‘Please be assured there is no pork on the menu and the sausages served are halal chicken.’
————
So we can all sit back and breathe easy…NOT!
Firstly, Smith doesn’t identify the hidden hand behind the ‘error.’ It was obviously typed up on somebody’s orders and it looks to me like the ‘error’ was some school flunkey giving the game away and getting caught out! They forgot, perhaps convinced there’s no fight left in ordinary Brits, to pursue a stealth strategy, multiculturation without parental knowledge or consent.
Smith has shamefully boasted that ‘we have a wonderful multicultural school,‘ which tells us all we need to know about her commitment to ensuring the children grow up conscious of their duty to be British.
If they’re migrants or children of migrants, they should be carefully taught that migration, movement, involves change, adaptation, assimilation into the culture, customs and ways of the place that took them in.
The traditional British diet includes bacon and eggs for breakfast, good helpings of pork chops and/or pork sausages for a main meal, and bacon butties for the kids’ lunch!
- It’s not compulsory. Some youngsters have their own ideas, as do parents. . Vegetarians, Jews and Muslims won’t relish any of the aforesaid delights, and a veggie menu option is easy to arrange. But a LOT of people abhor the halal method of slaughter.
To strip every piggy product from the list of choices is downright outrageous.
No wonder the protest petition got some four thousand signatures! No wonder Smith u-turned so fast.
But parents would be very ill-advised to take her on trust.
Katie Rogers, 26, has two children who go to the school and said she is glad the rule is not being enforced. But she also said she is confused by the note as the menu for the next three weeks does not include pork.
A stab in the back by arrogant elitists? I wouldn’t put it past them.
And I doubt many of those poor Brit parents’ elected representatives – school governors, city councillors or MPs, will do a lot to safeguard their rights.
Another reason to mobilise.
BTW, before you ask – I eat what’s put in front of me. If you are raised in a working-class home, that’s the way you stay. It’s also good manners.
Now I’m going to fry up some bacon and boil some halal sausages, to see me through this rainy evening and prepare for tomorrow’s visitor
