UK: Ukip Executive Committee votes to ban religious slaughter


Via The Jewish Chronicle:
A Jewish Ukip candidate branded his party's National Executive Committee "idiots" after the policy on kosher slaughter was reversed for the fourth time.

Jeremy Zeid, Ukip's parliamentary candidate for Hendon, attacked the NEC after it voted 6:5 for a ban on the non-stun slaughter of animals on Monday.

Mr Zeid, who previously said he would step down if Ukip threatened shechita, said: "They're idiots. They're all for fox-hunting, but not shechita. I don't think they've thought this through."
