If they listen to the claims of violation and reverse the decision, then they will have snookered themselves for eternity. I just hope UK doesn't become a major trading route for them.

It will end up going through the courts but I doubt it will be overturned, religion doesn't give you a free pass but saying that bull fighting is still going with nothing but tradition as the excuse.

Little known fact is that bull fighting also occurs in France!

Poland had a ban to be put in place but it's been overturned. Don't know why.

Yes, the Polish constitution was a bit verbose on religious freedom so a Polish court had to override the ban.

"The constitution guarantees the freedom of religion which includes the carrying out of all activities, practices, rites and rituals which have a religious character,"

I don't agree, if the definition of the relevant religion isn't written in law or the constitution then how can it be called a religion? - anybody could make anything up and bypass the law to suit themselves.

Freedom of religion ? That's a bit 'double standards' for Poland, considering they refuse to accept Muslim refugees .
