Very interesting, Swanny. I guess there has always been a challenge to harness Ion Discharge in the atmosphere .... but, this is still a long way off being a practical source of energy .... Richard

Well Swanny. It would be great not to have any wars ... but unfortunately, there were and are, people out there who would like to be our masters and would happily kill us and our families and our way of like given half a chance ... RichardOriginally Posted by Vulcanboy
Gav is right about this being old news, but that is not to say it shouldn't be revisited. Putting the animal welfare issue to one side for a moment, I would look very closely at the newspapers which carried the original Halal non-story and the timing. Is it just a coincidence that these papers have a very similar agenda to UKIP and their readers are about to go to the polls in the Euro elections? At a time when the country is divided, exploiting voters' fears is a very effective way of securing votes.

Strange that people think that by blessing an animal in the name of a made up entity before it's killed is going to make the slightest difference to anything
For my half penny worth ..... I believe it is more 'humane' to stun the animal before killing it.
Now, what about 'Fracking' ....... !
Ian R Crane worked in the Oilfield Services Industry for 20 years (1979-98). Today he is on a mission; a mission to ensure that the British public are made aware of the abomination that is about to be unleashed on their 'Green & Pleasant Land'.
In December 2012, the UK Government lifted the moratorium on the process known as Hydraulic Fracturing (FRACKING), pronouncing that the UK would be at the 'heart of the Shale Gas revolution'.
I've been to a few of Ians talks
Fracking is definitely not the answer
I used to work in a prawn factory. Not once did i ever hang a prawn up and slit its throat...;-)
Quite frankly any religous group who wanted their prawns dispatched any other way- are obviously very Shellfish people!I used to work in a prawn factory. Not once did i ever hang a prawn up and slit its throat...

Russell Brand's take on the original story in The Sun. You may not all agree, but he makes some excellent points with humour. A classic example of many a true word spoken in jest.Make your own judgements.

Having worked in the meat trade for nearly 10 years back in the 70's, as well as shop work, it also included a spell in the old Borthwicks slaughter house in Stratton, very little puts me off a roast dinner these days but some of the things and sights I saw back then really can and did make you think, would the general public eat meat if they saw this?
Like all trades there are good and there are bad, perhaps bad is not the right word for a slaughterman, uncaring would be better, one slaughterman would take down a beef animal with one clean shot with a bolt gun and do this repeatedly, where another would take 2 or 4 shots to get it right, then a chain would be placed around the rear right leg the animal, it would be hoisted into the air, as soon as it was up, it's throat would be cut and then to the next man on the line and the animal would be disemboweled and all this within a few moments of the slaughtermans bolt gun, would saying some sort of prayer at any stage help anything, how could it make any difference?
I think as long as any animal is not made to suffer an unnesassary long and drawn out death then there's little more that can be done, we eat meat, to do that we have to kill animals bred for that purpose and death in any form is never a pleasant thing.
As for fracking, were doomed, doomed I tell you, to go down this road we're scraping the bottom of a very oily barrel.
