YE GODS, that man is off his head! I seem to remember when there were some Jews claiming it was antisemitic when there was a fuss about Jewish baby boys being circumcised without any pain relief. Causing unnecessary pain to a human or animal is very wrong, even if it is in the name of religion.

What is worse to me is the whiny equivocation of the Green councillor.

I didn't get as far as reading the words of the green councillor. I'm glad the NSS had their say about it.
