India tells West to stop eating beef

[RichardCranium]

We were hardly averse to a bit of civil war ourselves, so to somehow assume we're culturally superior on this basis is a wee bit off.

a) you are reading "culturally superiority" into what I posted when it is not what I said nor what I meant.

b) I don't think Britain can be described as in a state of perpetual civil war.

c) My point was that Britain's presence in India was stabilising and not 200 years of destruction.

The Indians want the west to desist. Not just the British.

They are talking about a way of life, not trying to get back at us for taxing their salt.

We must defend ourselves against this, we cant have other countries coming over here telling us how to live our lives

We have to be careful when say 'Indians want the West to stop eating beef'. The problem is that the Indians will have to persuade their own people first.

Recently the Indian government tried to introduce a law preventing the sale of beef (because its a holy animal most Indians dont eat it) but there was uproar from the Southern states, especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu, because even Hindus there eat beef and also make a lot of money exporting beef to other countries.

Once you eat Chilli Beef there's no going back to vegetarianism.

BTW, dont believe what you may have seen on QI - the cow IS a holy animal in India.

That's a funny way of describing colonialism.

England is more densely populated than India.

If only the Scots, Welsh and Irish would return to their respective parts of the British Isles we'd have enough room.

Soon as the British Army stops using Scottish, Welsh and Irish soldiers.

Careful, they'll throw in broon as well and we'll be even more fcked.

I'd agree if it were an English army but the clue is in he word 'British'.

So Scottish, Welsh and Irish can live anywhere in Britain then
