A lot of 'indian' restaurants are actually owned by Bangladeshi's
Bangladesh is a muslim country, so the chances are that all the Lamb Bhuna's, or Chicken Dhansaks you eat are using Halal meat.
Just FYI in case you were ideologically opposed to eating Halal meat and didn't realise.
It doesn't bother me, but I would prefer they stun the animals first, which is not against the 'rules' of their religion, even if some would disagree.

You saw the fact that Halal was mentioned and thought the OP was a racist didn't you?

Just because somebody doesnt agree with Halal doesnt make them a racist but picking through the thread real quick I can see where its going to end up
Yes loads of takeaway shops around here all run by foreigners for quick easy money. They seem to change ownership every 6 months to a year. They employ their family illegally on visiting visas etc. I've been to many takeaways regularly after a night out at club and when you see a new face serving behind the counter and I ask how long they have worked there for they always lie.
Sandwich shops and "deli" shops are in abundance too but they are usually ran by the native british people.

There is a lot in my area and as much as people love to think there is a crime syndicate behind every kebab and nail salon, they happen to make a fair bit of money operating normally in most high streets. Nail and hair salon places are a very high margin business that is easy to hire for. Food places have been made even easier with just eat and other apps. Last few times ive ordered, they usually have more than the minimal wait time on the apps and at odd times too. Some of the office girls earlier were talking about getting their nails done before tomorrows night out and they pay as much as £30 for some glue on painted plastic things.
Prior to these food apps, most small independent takeaways found it hard to accumulate regular customers and only really operated at lunch and dinner times but now many are available for delivery throughout the day even if the store is outside hours because of the extra business they get from apps.
There is a chippy, Kebab and two Chinese places in a row on my nearest high-street and only one is open between 3pm and 6:30pm but all are available for delivery between these times.

I’d like to see Kosher and Halal slaughter banned. If not banned, then any food packaging, restaurant or takeaway should be prominently marked to allow people to make an informed decision.

Ha yea thats kinda obvious though, except you also eat halal chicken when you go to GBK and some other places like certain nandos and kfcs.
I get the idea from a business point of view, but ive heard that its kinda BS anyway as if youre muslim and halal isnt avaible you can eat non halal, I don't know if a muslim can confirm that? But then muslims don't exactly "agree" on things do they, sooooo lolreligion.
Of all the things to complain about on a Thursday... this is it?
If a high street is dying, I'd rather see the shops occupied rather than empty. The reason it's chicken shops is the franchise structure and how easy and quick these places are to start up, especially when you know someone in the game.
As has been said before, go and talk to the council.
Also, check how many pubs there are on a high street compared to chicken shops or take away.

Sure, in a life or death situation. If the local halal place is closed then you can't grab a Big Mac instead or a bacon sandwich if you can't find a tuna one.
Supposedly it does on here.
Exactly, very easy to be a racist nowadays. Just by mentioning the word halal
(thought it means permitted in arabic)
nowt racist about that.

No one has really stated this but a lot of packaged halal meat is literately from the same place as the normal stuff. There is very little regulation and it doesn't take much to stick a halal sticker on the packaging and pass it on. There are countless cases of companies declaring food as halal and it not being so.

The high streets are certainly changing with the world being a smaller place, where many of us search online for the best deals.
Maybe the answer is, given the UKs low supply of housing, we convert many high streets to cater for the demand by first time buyers frozen out of the market by silly house and rental prices.

Yes it is allowed and it does make for some horrific viewing with some of the larger animals like cows.

Like i said earlier, our normal slaughter standards are not that different from Halal slaughter standards in the UK. It is the meat industry which is generally rotern in that it lets standards slip and is not regulated as much as it should. I know a lot on here like to toot the 'Barbaric Muslim tradition!' tune but in reality most of the meat industry operates in a very similar way, minus the spiritual ritual part.

So why do you guys think we are so bothered by the way Halal and Kosher meat is prepared? Is it the method or the religions behind it?
I guess it wasnt that long ago we would have chased the animal down and bashed their brains in with rocks and spears, is slitting a cows throat while its still alive any worse because we are further on in time?
As a society we a clearly not as enlightened as people like to think, I personally dont pay much thought to it week to week.

That's the thing, its not really a religious thing. It has been done for a long while because we thought it makes it easier to drain the blood that way. In reality, it does not but old habits die hard.
to be honest, I generally tend to avoid halal places, because like others on here I don't agree with the torture and inhumane ways of the killing. Also, these places never have proper bacon or sausages, they are always turkey rashers or halal beef sausages. Don't deprive me of my pork.
For liking pork and avoiding halal how does that make me a racist?

Yes, I encountered "Beef Bacon" on my first and definitely last trip to sharm el shiek, fully respect them not killing pigs and serving bacon due to their believes, but dont label thinly sliced cow as bacon and pass it of as worthy substitute.
