The taxpayers' pound sterling at work in dhimmified Britainistan:

Muslim prisoners at a maximum security jail were treated to £3,500 of takeaway curries to mark a religious festival.

Some 200 inmates at Whitemoor prison near March in Cambridgeshire had meals worth around £18 each after complaining about the quality of jail food.

The prison's population includes al Qaeda terrorists. Bureauweenies are looking into "reports that standard security checks to ensure weapons or contraband were not being smuggled in with the dishes were not carried out in case the meals got cold."

According to a spokeswoman, the Prison Service "respects and is required to facilitate religious and cultural festivals." This must be why prison staff drove 40 miles to pick up the food from an overpriced takeaway to celebrate the end of Ramadan. What the heck, it isn't their money — except insofar as they pay taxes. The important thing is that terrorists be pampered and coddled, lest they feel themselves oppressed.
