Those crazy Brits are at it again...Bacon Smell from Deli offends Muslims

[RabidMongoose]

The British Empire actually advanced humanity as a whole. It put civilization in places where there was none. Sure, there were horrible atrocities committed along the way, but you can't say that the British Empire didn't do anything good. There are quite a few places that went to shit after the British left because they couldn't manage the piece of that Empire they had left without killing each other.

What kind of person thinks that committing mass genocide against the entire world is 'advancing humanity'?

The only thing that the British Empire did was murder millions of people for the personal advancement of the bloodthirsty British people.

Hell, maybe some of their former colonies should 'advance humanity' over in the UK these days. They still believe in royalty!

Where the fuck is Charles Martel when you need him?

He'd be called a genocidal maniac by COW and his sidekick Robin, that's for sure.

 

[CanOWorms]

Did your ouija board or crystal ball tell you this??? What qualifies you to accurately judge/rank the brutality of past civilizations??? You know, there have been a bunch of atrocities committed by many others since man learned how to use a spear.

You made your own prediction on someone else filling in for the British Empire's crimes against humanity.

 

[CanOWorms]

What is your point? Muslims (whether they were citizens or not) did not like the bacon smell. That is why the local council is making the deli remove the fan.

No, it isn't. The article mentions that the smell is permeating into someone's residence and providing problems for the resident other than issues with having his Muslim friends over.

I don't think the neighbor would have complained if his Muslims friends did not complained to him but that's just a hunch.

The article says that he's complaining about the smell staying on his clothes and something about his daughter's eating disorder.

 

[CanOWorms]

So the fan, and it's location, had been there for many years before this guy started to complain. Accordingly, it looks like either he's only recently moved in or only recently gotten Muslim friends.

No, the old fan was there for 6 years. It was replaced. Perhaps there's an issue with the new fan.

LOL, blame the fan. It seems to me he just doesn't want the business cooking any bacon because it offends his sensibilities. If it bothers him so much why doesn't he just move?

Do you suppose we can get the Muslims to move their Mosque in NYC to another location by cooking lots and lots of bacon around the area? Hell, maybe the Brits ought to take up bacon frying as a national sport??

 

[Draftee]

The article makes no mention that the Muslims are not citizens. Is this coming from yourself?

Also, it seems that the Muslims are not the ones who complained. It's the friend of the Muslims who wants his friends over.

Seems like a legitimate complaint.
​

Agreed, nothing in the article mentions the Muslim is a foreigner, and the position of the fan seems poor. I would have complained also if I gagged at those smells.

The cafe has been there for 3 years and the first complaints were received 18 months ago...

The owner of the Deli is a Turkish muslim who even cooks the bacon himself...

Local government officials want the deli to remove the fan which is blowing smell outside to in the interest of keeping peace with the citizens (residential amenity)...

edit: the cafe has been there awhile...the fan was replaced 3 years ago...The neighbor being 'offended' has been there awhile as well but it appears the government is stepping on egg shells to not offend Muslims at the expense of their own citizens...

Do you live in England?

Going to have to side with the neighbor here, I would not want strong restaurant odors blowing into my house either, that new fan must have really did a number. Seems like they could find a better way to vent it.

Then it would be best not to live next door to a restaurant. Personally I wouldn't live next door to a bar either.

Perhaps but that assumption is a stretch without knowing more about the building structure as it could very quickly turn into an expensive re-route.

To me it seems odd that he would complain about the smell coming from a food serving facility when he chose to move in next to one. I would have thought it would be a common assumption that if you move next to a place that prepares/serves food you will tend to smell that food

If no one is offended that is when you are doing something wrong.

We had something like this occur near my home a few years ago. A land developer bought a portion of land to create a housing community right next to a long established pig farm. When all the houses were built, no one wanted to buy because of the smell.

He complained to the local government in an attempt to get the pig farm shut down. His request was flat out denied due to the fact that he purchased the land knowing full well that the pig farm was already there.

Suspiciously enough, not long after the judgement the pig farm burned down and they were denied permission to rebuild... no charges were ever filed if I recall...


IMHO, if the neighbor knew he was moving in next to a restraunt or a cafe, complaining after the fact that you live next to one is idiotic. I notice that nowhere in this report do they talk about the neighbor coming over peaceably to discuss the situation with the owners to try and find a workable solution which would have been the proper first step.

Unless I missed that of course.

For fucks sakes, they have an exhaust fan twelve inches from his front door, i'd complain too. (of course a Jew complaining about smelling bacon wouldn't be much of a story when this Jew loves bacon)

Considering the source, the truth is probably that he complained about the fried fish stench and they asked him if he cooks bacon too and then went over to the neighbour and asked him if he has any Muslim friends and if they disliked the smell too.

It's hardly unknown for the daily fail to create stories that way.

For fucks sake, keep your fucking front door shut when they are cooking the fucking bacon and you won't fucking smell bacon.

Good solution, and if someone knocks at his front door, he can just open a window and have them crawl in through that.

That'll solve that.

Well then, I guess the resident should have thought about that prior to moving in.......the smell is unbearable, his clothes reek like bacon, how come he didn't smell it when first looking at the place?

Absolutely, perhaps they should just move the entire building to accomodate the businessowner and his new fan (which is probably more effective at blowing out, as newer fans often are)?

AFAIC none of what is said in the article is true except that a home owner got tired of having the smell of fried foods get into his apartment and i can understand that.

I'm not going to get into a discussion over this article in the daily fail so i bid you a dear farewell.

Cheerio.

As much as I love bacon, the constant smell of burning fat would bother me a bit. Living close to a restaurant would not be a good thing.
