Are they banning people from bringing meat in, or are they just only serving vegan food when they provide the food?
If it’s the latter I don’t see a problem. If I can’t bring a sausage roll maybe I’d take an issue with it

Fair enough. Everyone can eat vegan food, not everyone eats non vegan food, so this makes the most sense for official meetings like this. No one should be upset by this.

Council should be dissolved – clearly run by woke idiots

As long as they got some Vegan chocolate desserts or cupcakes I’m fine with it, could nom them all day long as they are delicious, anything else I’ll pass on.

It makes sense not to have stinky fish or ham in the room depending on people’s personal preference.
But I don’t see why people need to eat while working, maybe give them a lunch break?

Just serve both and then everyone (hopefully) is happy?

Should be BYOB or BYOV for any meetings tbh….
We don’t pay council tax for catering, only tea, coffee, sugar and milk.

They seriously have bigger problems to deal with.
What a stupid waste of time.

if they’re going to make me eat quiche, I’m not going.

Fucking love tofu.
Flavour sponge, great marinaded with just about any spice blend, sauce or whatever. Easy to cook. Low-fat complete protein. Efficient use of resources to produce.
Doesn’t have that dead animal texture or taste though which some folks who prefer to eat dead animals enjoy, so admittedly it’s not for everyone.

So I can’t eat raw stoat at council meetings anymore!?
This is an outrage!
I’m going to complain on the Daily Mail comment section.

Ah Nottingham, the council that actually had some great ideas (e.g. tram & public transport generally, business car parking tax, district heating and others) but then decided to try implement a local version of Corbyn’s public energy company idea. Unfortunately, city council’s aren’t exactly known for expertise in the retail energy industry and it lost £40 million in 4 years, bankrupted the council and customers were eventually trasnferred to Centrica.
Always thought their triumphs and follies would make a great politics case study or book. Anything important in Nottingham is run by administrators these days, which may explain why councillors are focusing on gimmicks like this.Â

It’s not out of the kindness out of their hearts, they are absolutely skint. Meat is expensive, halal meat even more so.
Employees have had their hours slashed, are taking on two roles for the same pay and NCC are doing their best to push people out voluntarily. I’m surprised they serve food at all at meetings

Good. Even purely in terms of being inclusive, it is better. Probably cheaper too.

The food they get should be the same food that they feed to the kids in the school dinner halls.

Our council deserves a lot of shit for their many, *many* wrongdoings but this is not one of them. How about instead, we focus on the mismanagement of funds, or the embezzlement, fraud and corruption?
