General Discussion
@Paul and @Steve I don't believe you're truly concerned with animal welfare. I think you're just pretending to give a damn about animal welfare at the point of slaughter because it happens to suit your anti-islamic views. @Steve Decades of animal welfare progress?

@Carer , would you say that there's absolutely no need for for food banks, breakfast clubs in Schools to feed malnourished children and winter fuel allowances so a large proportion of pensioners don't freeze to death each winter? Which reality do you refer to? Your own or that of wider society?
@DAC " Are we living in times of austerity or not?" According to the doom and gloom brigade, we are, but in reality, we are not.
More business means more employment and more tax revenue, so it will pay for itself and probably other things.
