Hi OP,

I was taught as a child that if i ever got served non halal food by mistake, i would have no right to be angry as mistakes happen and this is not a Muslim country. The blame would in fact lie with me as it is a Muslims duty to avoid an action when there is an element of doubt (in this case a bloody sausage!!)

Best of luck with this situation smile

I didn't say that I did. My patience is wearing thin though for such things, I get fed up being told we are a nation of racists when I've lived in other countries and I know full well that this country is one of the most tolerant of others on earth.
smile I agree—historically and today.

I certainly don't think we're a nation of racists, but I have no tolerance for the small vocal intolerant minority.
Yes, but if you criticise the small vocal intolerant minority then you get branded a racist (I am guessing that this is not what you meant though).

AFAIK, there has been no suggestion that the sausage was undercooked. That would be an entirely different matter.

smile Quite. I meant I had no time for racists, sorry not to be clear.

I just think it's wrong to make it about race at all—there are d***heads of every background, and you should be able to call them d***heads without being branded racist. Conversely, if you take the actions of a few and use them to justify your own prejudices, you're the d***head.

We left things as they were, partner wanted to keep fairly onside with the schoiol as she wants them to help with her GTP. It will all kick-off again this year as they have banned Christmas Lunch!! There is however a new head who will not bow to bullying by the minority...

Did this matter ever reach a conclusion, and if so, what was it?

Nigel Garage makes a fair point in the above article - had she served gammon to a vegetarian, would she have been sacked?
