Danish town makes pork mandatory in public institutions

Hysteric as it sounds, there is a precedent of acceding to heathen rebellion, which only encourages them to think they matter:In 2013, then-Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt lashed out at some nurseries after they started serving halal-butchered meat instead of pork because Muslim children had refused to eat it.
I kind of like the psychological warfare aspect ("Welcome......and BTW, fuck your primitive beliefs and customs"), but since there were already menu alternatives available this seems so childish it would satisfy a Quebecois separatist.

Authorities have issued refugees in the city of Cardiff, the capital of Wales, mandatory red wristbands that "they must wear at all times," reports the Guardian.
According to the Guardian's report, asylum-seekers being resettled in the region by a contract company named Clearsprings Ready Homes are told taking off the wristbands will result in them being denied food.
Much like a similar controversy that emerged in recent weeks after asylum-seekers in the English town of Middlesborough complained a subcontractor painted each of their homes' doors red, the migrants told the Guardian the wristbands exposed them to harassment and abuse by Cardiff's less welcoming citizens.
"On the road we had to walk down there is often heavy traffic," Eric Ngalle, a former resident at the city's Lynx House for new arrivals, told the paper. "Sometimes drivers would see our wristbands, start honking their horns and shout out of the window, 'Go back to your country.' Some people made terrible remarks to us."
Another person who lived at Lynx House, Sudanese human rights activist Mogdad Abdeen, told the Guardian, "We are made to feel that we are second-class humans. People in Lynx House are scared of meeting new people in case they see the wristband and give them problems."

Indeed. However, their thinking was no doubt that:
1. An ID card takes time and costs money to create.
2. They take time (and therefore money) to check someone other than the holder isn't using it.
3. Unless it's an expensive card they are easily forged and a forgery will pass anything but a thorough check.
4. People will say they have forgotten/lost/had their card stolen when asked to present it. Do you still give them their meal?
I can see why some manager thought it was an ideal and cheap solution - as long as you ignore the stigma attached to it.

I wonder if anyone suggested tattooing a number on their wrists ...

Point taken. The trouble with private enterprise culture is that it exists in a bit of a moral vacuum. Unless there is a specific law against something or something can be priced and found too expensive there is no strong reason not to do that thing. In fact, even if there is a law or regulation against something, if there is a way to skirt it or a way to test the limits of it then a manager will be rewarded for doing it if it either reduces costs or brings in income.

Is the government of the UK not requiring refugees to have some form of ID?

Yeah, I actually understand (or think I understand) how things like this happen. There's a huge, sudden rush of immigrants, some of who are causing problems, and you have to figure out how to deal with it, like now. You're spending public money on it too. No time for leisurely thought or discussion. Fix it now.
Half-baked measures are pretty much inevitable.
If Britain is prepared to provide an all-inclusive resort service for asylum seekers, the least they can do is wear a bloody wristband
....
The Great British Asylum seekers have landed on their feet here in the land of plenty – El Dorado – because all they need to do to get hold of free food and drink throughout the day is show a red band. Just as with any holiday booking they can even choose between self-catering options, with a supermarket cash card thrown in for free, or full board – served just a short stroll from their accommodation. All they have to do is show their wristband. And it's theirs for the taking.
One of Germany’s most celebrated psychoanalysts has said the refusal of Chancellor Angela Merkel to reverse her “completely irrational” migrant policy is evidence of a potential “mental breakdown” that endangers society.
Hans-Joachim Maaz, a German psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and best-selling author, was speaking with Huffington Post Germany when he suggested a “stubborn” Angela Merkel has “lost touch with reality”.
According to Mr. Maaz, the German Chancellor suffers from “narcissism” brought on by people lauding her position as ‘mother of the nation’ and most powerful woman in the world, and calling for her to have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He says the “artificially inflated self-image” she labours under leads to the “stubborn attitude” on display by her during the ongoing migrant crisis.
Mr. Maaz claimed that Mrs. Merkel has not, in fact, taken any difficult decisions or displayed genuine leadership. In his opinion she reacts to situations rather than leads, something which testifies to her uncertainty and an underlying lack of self-worth.
The result of this, he says, is that she tends to make “emotional” decisions which meet immediate popular approval instead of making difficult but rational moves. By way of example he cites first Mrs. Merkel policy of phasing out nuclear power after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, a decision she took knowing most Germans backed the move.
The second “emotional” decision she took was to open Germany’s borders to Syrian migrants. Although met with worldwide approval as a “great humanitarian gesture” it was actually poorly thought through, as hindsight confirms. Now her refusal to move represents a danger to Germany.
Mr. Maaz confirmed that overachievers such as Mrs. Merkel, often suffer from “self-esteem deficit, inferiority and insecurity”.
That is not a problem when sufferers enjoy success and recognition, but it does lead to hubris and immunity to criticism which means that when things go wrong people can become prone to “loneliness” and “mental breakdown”. He sees no reason why Mrs. Merkel would react any differently, adding “a psychological or psychosomatic collapse is imminent.”
With ever more defiant reactions to criticism seeing the Chancellor “digging her heels in” rather than change course, Mr. Maaz diagnoses a very real risk to Germany, saying that by insisting on sticking with policies which no longer enjoy the support of a majority, she contributes to the breakdown of German society.
