Has had to withdraw smokey bacon pringles from the shop as they wish muslims happy ramadan.
There's no meat in Pringles, they are fit for vegetarians, it's bacon flavouring.
But that doesn't matter, they will still moan about it.
The error was made at a Liverpool Street store – around a mile from the East London Mosque in Whitechapel, one of the largest Muslim places of worship in Europe.

Another ridiculous decision from the company. Little wonder their business has become a byword for bad publicity in recent times.
A decision like this is a virtual 'two fingers' to their core customers. |

On that basis, I would assume they don't stock any pork products?

I don't think they were going to issue a fatwa or go on a Charlie Hebdo style massacre over the issue. Relax guys. |

How far in terms of mileage is the radius that the company will use when deciding whether to withdraw bacon-flavoured Pringles. 5 Miles? 500 miles? Maybe as far as Rotherham, Rochdale, and other Northern towns where "cultural differences" have left their indelible mark?

Curious, I wonder how many Muslims would leave their Whitechapel enclave to shop at a Tesco in Liverpool Street?

As I've said elsewhere spelling, I despise all religion.
Nothing but glorified superstition. |

By:
Tescos weren't withdrawing bacon Pringles from the shop, just from the special Ramadan promotion -- look at the photo in @Wesdag's link.

It does rather beg the question - what sort of eejit includes bacon-flavoured crisps in a Ramadan promotion?
A: the sort of eejit who works for Tesco. |

M&S bosses have decreed that Muslim checkout staff can refuse to serve people who have alcohol or pork products in their baskets or trolleys.
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/12/22/muslim-marks-and-spencer-staff-alcohol-pork_n_4489368.html So what happens when you have a trolley full of food, and the last item you put on the conveyor is a pack of bacon or half a bottle of whisky? Do you have to put it all back in the trolley and move to another till?  |

You know what to do guys, Marks bacon and wine here I come.

why is it just muslims that get offended and why is it retail shops, govt and every tom dick and harry pander to them?
don't get any grief from the jewish community, hindu's, seeks etc etc its always the same one that demands everything, yet in their countries people of other religions are persecuted and muslims in other countries don't seem to mind that. Well they don't march or say anything about it, strange that. |

Thousands of them have no problem selling Alcohol and Bacon from their corner Shops ,Many in Rotherham to underage girls who were then raped by the Brothers ...

Exactly boxing.
People are going to applaud this decision by M&S as a victory for workers and human rights, by queuing 10 deep at the one till serviced by the woman in a headscarf, then kick off to all and sundry when they are refused to check through their six pack of premium lager. Well done M&S bosses. Youve really thought this one through. |

maleuk,
if you look at the link to the article I posted above, most seemed to regard it as an hilarious gaffe more than anything else. No fatwa declared. |

I am sick to death of what is going on in this country.
I like you really get angry about it..............but when are we as a country going to do something about it? It seems too many people in the right places have an agenda to promote non white issues. any no-one myself included actually does anything other than moan.......... I am going to have a long hard think to see if there is something I could personally do as I hate people who complain but do f all about it. I live near Stoke and there is a massive water park near me that is having a night soon where they are blaking out the windows and if you want to go to the park you have to cover up!!!! So if I take my beautiful 4 year old instead of her wearing a little costume and me some dodgy shorts that are starting to show a bit of a gut we cant go in we have to cover up......... why is there a black police officers association if there was a white one there would be uproar........i could go on about this all night,the way this is going people who dont hate blacks and asians will do so because we are discriminated against |

black police officers association...
Hmmm...Why do you think there was a need to set one up? |
|
By:
In any case, it's only muslims that do not tend to blend.

I think its to promote racism wesdag.
promote people due to the colour of their skin, and fight their corner. Isn't that what racism is? |
|
By:
Why would they want to promote racism?
Next you'll be saying blacks created all the various institutions in the UK and decide to exclude themselves from them. |
