Eco Warriors - Banning Meat at Enfield Council

[Tyke777]

Enfield Council is set to become the first elected body in the UK to ban meat from December 2020 in an attempt to tackle climate change, unbelievably they have just voted on and passed the “Enfield climate action plan 2020”, a pal who lives in the borough and operates a butchers shop is totally at his wits end, when is the next one to follow the same path? incredulous. ?

The council will offer only vegan or vegetarian options!!

2020, the year when the world truly lost the plot

I prefer the Frankie Boyle approach:

“There is a vegetarian option.....you can f... off”

pretty pathetic of them but hardly surprising how things are going in this country

Got to say when the world's supply of meat runs out the vegans and veggies will be top of my menu

Guess they’re trying to reduce the number of people attending their events. ?. Anyway, more meat for the rest of us!

 

[Rennie]

Enfielder's own faults, don't moan, vote them out!

How much are these feckers paid? JFC

Really does not surprise me.....

Sadly, the poor misguided fools, probably genuinely believe that their pointless action is actually going to make a difference to the worlds climate.
At the end of the day, if you let the lunatics run the asylum, you can’t complain when it all goes a bit weird.

That sounded so much like an 'EU bans bendy bananas' story designed to manufacture rage that I Googled to get the real story. Like, maybe they'd given an instruction to stop thinking 'meat first' in buffets, or whatever.

Nope. They really have banned meat. For climate change. Right. No one thought about introducing a local/seasonal/ethical supply chain policy. Just - ban the meat.

Insane, and utterly pointless.

Hope no one will be driving to these meetings and all riding bicycles made of bamboo and hemp

Can’t beat a barmy Labour council - did they not get an apology from The Sunday Times who’d referred to a dozen of a new council as “The Clan”?
Sheffielders are well versed in this type of crap, we’ve had one since God were a lad....

The last charity event I went to where councillors attended, I spent 10 minutes chatting with the chauffeurs outside. There were two black limos outside and they were used to pick up the mayor and a couple of councillors from less than 1 mile away, hang around for 3 hours during the event and then drive them home and I assume take the cars back to a depot.
All that taxpayers money wasted when the councillors could have walked, like most other people, to the event in the centre of a small town.
I have no time for councils and councillors. As far as I am aware they serve no purpose other than to justify their own existence. Scrap the lot, and their vegan menus. Cows fart, get over it.

Veganish thoughts have consquences.remember that office space company Wework,my ex company did food for them ,all had to be nonmeat.3 summers ago they had a huge festival ,where we catered for some low thousands ,strangely the fish option was the most popular.
wework went down the pan sometime last year,without the aid of covid19

They are great at wasting money. At the moment in my town they are busy wasting 7 million digging up the cong burn in the market place as they burried it years ago. Its meant to boost tourism. What theyve managed to do is wreck the market that was on 3 days a week and brought people into the town.
It really bugs me as weve been fighting them gor years for transport to school for my autisic son and they say there isnt the money available so my wife gets 4 busses a day instead.

They have no idea. My council is run by two family cliques and they basically run it to make sure everyone gets a turn at being mayor. Any newcomers are quite aggressively dealt with but in the clique you can do what you like.

Sounds like our lot. They avoid dealing with things by pretending to be on leave and managed to "loose" or "forget" complaints sent in.
Luckily our local mp is a good guy and gets stuck into them when they dont play by the rules.
