With your underlying logic wouldnt you expect other schools to do the same, if I suspect that they dont then your non meat on a Friday chums do not seem to be demanding or being catered as those wishing not to eat pork !

I think you'll find that the majority of state funded Catholic schools are the same.
But isnt the point that those non Muslim schools are now not being served pork due to some minority doctrine, whereas any Catholics that attend non Catholic school seem not to demand or care the same.

No - you're the one missing the point - the school in question has stopped serving pork not because Muslims demand they do so but because of cost issues associated with certain pupils not eating pork.
I think you'll find that many schools with a substantial number of Catholic pupils don't serve meat on a Friday for similar reasons.
Everyone knows that Friday is fish and chips day.
It is a demand driven by religion otherwise why comply and if that in turn increases costs why would you expect those that did not contribute to that increase be denied choice of what they eat at their non religious school ?
Catholics same.
When I was at my Catholic primary school we always had fish on a Friday. I hated fish in those days even to the point that I would feel sick just smelling it being cooked. So, I used to come home for dinner on Fridays as I only lived round the corner.
Bloody Catholics ruined my Friday lunch playtime when we generally had the marble championships and for that I will never forgive them.
I know for some kids being buggered by the local priest pissed them off but it was the f*****g fish that did it for me.

You can rest easy - the population of non-Muslims has increased by at least 4 times that figure over a similar period. The difference in numerical terms between the two groups is therefore widening
That's not what the Guardian says in its first paragrah on the story..................
"The Muslim population of England and Wales is growing faster than the overall population, with a higher proportion of children and a lower ratio of elderly people, according to an analysis of official data. One in three Muslims is under 15, compared with fewer than one in five overall. There are also fewer elderly Muslims, with 4% aged over 65, compared with 16% of the overall population."
When Songs of Praise started in the 50s there was less than 50k Muslims in the UK, so since then the "gap" has only been going one way.....................

If this is an important indicator, would it not be more accurate to show the increases by faith groups ?

Care to give an example of maybe 2 or 3 non-faith schools in the UK with a high number of Catholic pupils who specifically don't have meat on the menu every Friday because of them? I'm slightly incredulous about this.
Gypos getting grief from some pakis eh? I bet choosing a side was a conundrum for some of you.
Whats your point ??

This is a huge issue, i can't believe they are even thinking of this!!!!
The thin pages of bibles make an excellent emergency rizzla should one run out while desperate for a Jamacian Old Holburn. They can of course be used as an alternative should our student friends have spunked their loans of frivolities such as books and stationary. Won't somebody think of the students?

Quite right
It quite clearly said that the bibles will still be made available just not in peoples rooms. The only way you could use this story as any kind of evidence is if i you spent your time desperately looking for evidence to back up your prejeduces and you suggested that it is a tiny part of a larger conspiracy. "Drip drip" indeed

My kids can't take nuts to school because of the blood Anaphylaxis kids. *******s!! They have to eat their nuts at home (or is that the dog?) and take other stuff to school. It is outrageous. The sacrifices we have to make for other people.
