I've deleted how I started this post. It is many years ago that Bradford council decreed that all school meals should be Halal - yes, we are back to that, I'm afraid. One lady who protested about her rates going towards the practice was gaoled because she withheld a proportion which she thought covered her donation to it. I had to forgo the 'payment' of a school dinner in exchange for dinner-duties (still did the duties, as did many). That's what this is all about. I think that Rotherham has also decided that all school meals should be halal.
It's all the wrong way around. Just eat veggie if the meat isn't to your taste or religion - there is always a veggie option. Sorry for outburst, it's something I get cross about.
