UK Govt Blocks ‘Culturally Insensitive’ Ban on Cat and Dog Meat
Breitbart ^ | 23 Sep 2019 | JACK MONTGOMERY

Posted on 09/23/2019 9:09:52 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

The British government’s Ministry of Justice had blocked a “culturally insensitive” move to ban cat meat and dog meat, fearing it could offend people in Asian countries.

Cabinet Office chief Michael Gove drew up plans to outlaw the possession of cat and dog meat over the while he was still Secretary of State at the Department for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), according to reports.

However, the move is understood to have been blocked by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), currently headed by former solicitor-general Robert Buckland, after “nervous civil servants” suggested it was “culturally insensitive” and liable to cause offence in Asian countries where cat and dog meat consumption is more common.

It’s long past time for the Brits to have their own revolution. Their own government (primarily, the leftists) is a worse enemy than Hitler ever was. Really, the case can be made. At least they fought the Nazis, but they appear to be bending over and assuming the Obama position over their own collection of almost indescribable idiot government.

What about the sensitivity of the culture of the United Kingdom?

The tax payers and non Muslims of the UK get zer0 sensitivity after creating the current UK, as it is now.

The government headed by Boris Johnson is actually pretty solid. It’s the governing establishment, the civil service and institutions who are pushing this often against the government’s will (it was the government that wanted to ban cat and dog meat, the civil service stopped it). As we have seen with Trump, the deep state wields a lot of power even when the government of the day is run by someone decent.

What could be more culturally insensitive for the Anglo & Celtic nations, which participate in the United Kingdom, than for them to suppress their own cultural norms in the lands of their descent? "When in Rome do as the Romans," does not mean--and never has meant-- doing as anyone else in your own domains.

Hopefully, Boris Johnson will put a stop to this sort of silliness.

Every nation is entitled to its own customs, social usages & culinary heritage, in its own domains.

Stop surrendering your traditions to pretend we are all interchangeable. We are not!

So it’s going to be legal to butcher cats and dogs on the streets of Great Britain.England is lost.

If I were a Citizen of England I’d make sure my pets were never allowed outside unaccompanied.

They may not have their pets for long.

The way this has accelerated in the UK is the most curious part. It’s as though all the politicians and deep-state actors have turned Muslim and have their pedophile crimes on video, being used to blackmail them.

They’re basically declaring Sharia Law - you’re NOT ALLOWED to criticize a religion and its ideas. From the country that brought you “The Life of Brian”.

...not long now, it can’t go on.

He’d be thinking of hiding his bulldog Dodo and his cat Nelson.
