Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 There must be a deep well of sadness inside you *Bob*. I'm sorry your life lacks interest. Best of luck with that.In the meantime, pursuing me from one thread to another to toss insults is unedifying. Find some pride.

Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It's irrelevant tj.Mickelwright is campaigning to take choice away from other people. He's not trying to persuade people of his personal convictions regarding Foie Gras, he's trying to cut off the lines of supply.

Brendan Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Would that same argument hold up if the objection to frog arse was that it was produced using child labour?

Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The argument always holds up - when it comes to public issues we have a parliamentary process to go through regarding legislation preventing objectionable behaviour.If you're aware of issues surrrounding products produced using socially unacceptable methods then that's what publicity is for.We don't give license to individuals to act unilaterally acccording to their own whims, because there's an awful lot of people out there with some very strange convictions. I really don't get why this is so hard to understand.

Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Still not getting it tj - I'm not criticising Mickelwrights convictions, and I'm not challenging his right to protest. If he wants to perition parliament I'll celebrate his commitment.I'm criticising his methods - subterfuge and manipulation to get his own way. I'm criticising his belief that this makes him heroic. I'm criticising his belief that his own views are more important that anyone elses.

titch juicy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 ...he has right of free speech, and the restaurant have the choice of what legal products to put on their menuthere really is no more to it than thatunless you need something to fill the day perhaps Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18512-your-views-on-foie-gras/page/19/#findComment-460988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thats' the whole point tj, he is using his own 'freedom' to take freedom away from other people.The freedom to choose their own moral position, and choose their food accordingly.

Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Incidentally there is no freedom of speech applicable if Mickelwright has been campaigning using grotesque ideas, imagery or video - this would count as harrassment.

titch juicy Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 he's not taken away your choice of where and what to eatif a restaurant removes it, it's their decision.we have to assume a restrauteur is big enough to agree or disagree with what he says Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18512-your-views-on-foie-gras/page/19/#findComment-460995 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 If Mickelwright thought that restaurants made their own minds up, then he wouldn't be lobbying them.If Mickelwright didm't want to take away our choice of what to eat, then he wouldn't be targeting restaurants at all.Since he posted on here, he clearly feels that increasing the size of his gang will increase the pressue on restauraters.This is the reality - the arguments in support of his behaviour contradict themselves.

*Bob* Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Remind me again.. is the 74th or 75th time Huge has diverted and expanded a minor point of nothingness to biblical proportions - simply in order fuel his personal vanity debating project? I've lost count. And can someone please lower me a rope? I've fallen into the deep well of sadness.. again. Hay-yelp.

Huguenot Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 This is Thomas Mickelwright from October last year:"The quicker we understand what in Dulwich isn?t vegan, the quicker we can make it vegan!" There's no real talk there of simply having an opinion, he's quite clear that he wants to make us go vegan.
