Another nail in the British farming industries coffin.

It's time to boycott Bernard Mathews like we did with KFC. I reckon we should also arrange another small demo against it too.


Not found a link for it yet. Saw it posted on Joe Cardiffs Facebook with this link- http://www.bernardmatthews.com/contact_us.aspx

Bernard Matthews is shit (the food). He imports a lot of his stuff from Eastern Europe, then he is allowed to label it British (Union Jack on packaging) because it's processed over here, meaning cut up and put in packets.

I'd never dream of eating BW "meat" but it's disgraceful nonetheless to see this. I've contacted them:

"First, is it true you have succumb to becoming a halal meat supplier? Second, if this is true, how much of your meat is halal? And lastly, how do you feel about accomodating muslim immigrants whilst alienating christian and non-muslim british people? I have always had the impression that Bernard Matthews prided itself on being British, is halal traditionally British to this company?

Regards."

I stopped eating BM stuff a while back when it was discovered those workers abusing the turkeys there. Never touched them since and guaranteed now I never will again.
Here's a link if you'd forgotten the story:

just to clarify this whole situation, as posted above I sent an email concerning BM going halal, I recieved a reply today:

"Dear Mr. ______,



Thank you for your email. We take all comments we receive very seriously, particularly when incorrect information is circulating within the media.



Bernard Matthews Farms does not produce any Halal turkey meat.



We adopt best practice guidelines for the humane slaughter of all our turkeys. Bernard Matthews Farms works closely with the Humane Slaughter Association and to the certified standards of the Quality British Turkey and Farm Assured ( Red Tractor ) standards for Agriculture and Animal Welfare, which require stunning prior to slaughter. We also support the Farm Animal Welfare Council's Five Freedoms which provide guidance on an animal's welfare, whether on a farm, in transit, or at a place of slaughter.



I hope this addresses your concerns but if you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards,"

Although I'd never touch the foul crap that comes from BM at least they haven't gone halal.

No that's not me m8, never heard of UBA before. For some reason I get an error for anything I try to do on this site other than post (i.e. message, profile, etc..) so I'm not too sure on that one.
