A video that was out on camera has infuriated people on the internet. In a viral video filmed in London, a man takes full advantage of his access to the ISKCON Govinda veggie restaurant. He proceeds to eat KFC fried chicken in-store, despite being informed that this place does not serve meat, onion, or garlic. The man, of apparently African-British origin, ensures that the employees are aware that Govinda is a vegetarian restaurant. After hearing a definite no meat, no onion, no garlic, pulls out a KFC chicken box, takes it, and starts munching on it, even sharing it with other people inside.
🚨 SHOCKING & SHAMEFUL

A man entered ISKCON’s Govinda restaurant in London, confirmed it was a VEGETARIAN place, and then ate KFC chicken inside. 😡 pic.twitter.com/yOwApFEH8f
In the video, someone tries to prevent the man, but he shows no need to heed what is being said and continues to eat the chicken at the vegetarian restaurant. He misbehaves and refuses to obey the rules. Then, after some time, the security staff arrive and order him to leave the premises. The video spread on social media, and many became very angry. Some thought that the man had done it deliberately, intending to offend Hindu sentiments. In contrast, others said that this was a disgraceful and dishonourable act of disrespect toward the Indian culture and religion.
The video addresses a broader debate in the city of London regarding the respect for religious places of worship, the issue of intolerance in the name of so-called pranks, and the exploitation of viral content to gain attention. This is wrong from a moral and ethical perspective, regardless of whether it is punishable in the courts of law or not. Such disrespect raises numerous issues regarding the boundaries of freedom, tolerance, and behaviour within sacred places, which is particularly relevant in a multicultural society such as the UK.
