they have done this for years anyway in muslim areas, turkey bacon is rough. I pretty much always have bacon in mine so I must admit if a store didnt serve it I wouldnt buy from there but it doesnt mean Im going to boycott the whole chain.

I'd guess he's getting somewhat defensive as all your posts to him have been oddly confrontational.
Another non story. Subway is a business and there is obviously a demand for more of their stores to serve Halal meat.
As to weather or not the way they slaughter the animal is humane that's debatable. Personally I think it is despite what the daily fail says.

I thought 185 stores sounded a lot, but they have over 1700 stores in the UK, so it's not that big a number of stores affected really.
To be honest, just go to a proper sandwich shop if you want bacon, Subways bacons is disgusting.

Indeed. Just more sensationalist, aggressive and negative characterisation of a group of people needlessly because a business decides to change/add something to its business model.
halal meat being offered- fair enough.
removing bacon and pork from the menu entirely- seriously wtf subway.
stop pandering to the sky fairy lovers. fair enough to make adjustments to include them but making adjustements(removing pork) that affect the rest of us who aren't mentally ill not on ;(

On one hand you have a business attempting to keep it's custom base happy, on the other hand you have a vocal community infringing on secular values (in that they are enforcing their own views on members of the community who would like to continue consuming pork products) - secularism isn't one group getting it's own way at the expense of others, it's allowing free freedom of & freedom from religion.
They are already able to not eat pork products by not ordering it at the counter, all this does is prevent people who are not Muslim from ordering - this in my view sits outside of the normal freedom of religion & starts to move into dictating the choices of others.
I don't even eat meat, but I don't think that one group in society really should be pressuring a business into selling products which only fit their own religious views - if it was an ethical based off something tangible I'd understand (like objective suffering) - but it's just somebody's religious view which is worthless to people outside of it.

It was their business decision to do this because they probably realised it'll bring in more customers, and that is probably the key reason for them doing it, more customers and more profit not to appease followers of a religion.
Maybe it would be better if the Muslims, all got together and started their own chain of Subway style outlets. They could call it Musway and serve Halal all day every day to all their fuzzy faced friends. I think this would be better than trying to change everything about this country to suit their backward religion.
It's just sensible business decision at the end of the day. If you have a store in a highly populated Muslim area it might be wise to cater for them and increase the amount of customers.
Tesco don't dedicate aisles upon aisles to Polish food if there isn't a large Polish community to cater for...
Oh then again it is Britain maybe we should just cater for White Christian British people.

So in appeasing a minority they(Subway) have AGAIN shunned another minority. They did the same with KFC. A lot of Indian people will not eat Halal as they do not agree with how the animal is killed. There was a also report a little while ago regarding halal practices and slaughter being dramatically more unsanitary than regular slaughter methods due to the way the animal suffers and fluids that are in the body at time of death.

It's not an ethical decision though. And Tesco don't remove non polish foods to provide only polish foods..

Funny reading threads like this because it's easy to spot who the racists are.
If you think Halal is any less humane than stunning an animal and putting a bolt through its head then there is something wrong with you.

Is it the minority? The stores which serve Halal meat are generally in areas where there is a high number of Muslims.
