Subway let franchise owners decide what they do and don't sell, the daily mail realised that this meant some stores could choose to only serve halal approved meats, ie, nothing pork based and started a witch hunt.
The thing is, it's been happening for a couple of years now, the one in Woking doesn't serve bacon, so I don't go there. Not because I don't agree with it, just that my sub of choice has bacon in it and I don't like the "turkey rasher" they offer instead.
