Re: national referendum on law to enshrine British way of life

I have always observed that when one is losing the argument - even ones own, people often resort to personalized attacks - play the ball not the player is often quoted on this site - but often ignored by those who feel frustrated with their achievements thus far?

the regular abusers do not need to be named - they are instantly recognizable by their lack of affirmative or positive discourse!

What argument? What bait? Over a hundred posts and I'm still no clearer on what this thread is about.

Yet evil halal animal torture persists. Surely, that is against the law, isn't it?

So, yet again, we should be blaming our own leaders although, of course, I realise that they are afraid of the mediaeval culture we are discussing.
Denmark has passed a law that states all animals must be prestunned before slaughter no exemptions for religious reasons . We should do the same .

I'm sure that most of our MPs have only one priority.

Themselves.
