Including the disgusting foul language?
For the life of me I can’t imagine what it would be like to become a vegan or even a vegetarian. I consider it to be a fate worse than death. I have been cooking seriously for the last 65 years and I can’t think of a single entrée in my cook book that is vegetarian. I, of course, make salads and various side-dishes but they are designed to be served with meat/fish/poultry as the main dish.
I get more protein from a medium sized steak than I would from 8 or 10 baked potatoes. Don’t get me wrong, I like baked potatoes but I can’t imagine eating 8 or 10 of them in a single sitting. In any event I love the feeling of being sated by a good cut of beef. And let’s not forget the mouth-watering aroma of a baked ham or prime rib. Yummy !
It is possible that you still have an appendix Xandra, I believe the appendix, like tonsils, do grow back sometime after removal.
And you state that you don’t try to influence anyone, but by example, weren’t you influenced by your vegetarian mother, and your children have been influenced by your example which proves the theory that it’s ‘nurture’ that defines our lives and not nature…
It’s your house for dinner then Bakerman, your menu sounds delicious…
An ethical vegan who alleges he was sacked because of his views on animal products has won a landmark case.
At the tribunal in Norwich on Friday, Judge Robin Postle ruled ethical veganism satisfies the tests required and is therefore protected under the Equality Act 2010, saying it was “important” and “worthy” of respect in a democratic society.
Whatever.
Where did he work Cinders? In a butchers…
The judge never stated his own ethical preferences/prejudices,
Surely before ruling on a subject he/she should declare their
interests?
Donkeyman!
What did he expect.
Jordi Casamitjana says he was sacked by the League Against Cruel Sports after disclosing it invested pension funds in firms involved in animal testing.
He claims he was discriminated against, and the tribunal will now decide if veganism should be protected in law.
The League Against Cruel Sports says he was dismissed for gross misconduct.
The League Against Cruel Sports claims he was sacked for “gross misconduct” and that linking the decision to his veganism was “factually wrong”. Which is how I see it, a breach of confidentiality.
I’m carnivore, piscivore, vegetarian, vegan, depending on the day of the week. 
I think his being a vegan was irrelevant in this case, but I do think he was right in disclosing that The League Against Cruel Sports had invested pension funds in companies engaged in animal testing. Many supporters of LACS would be horrified by this, unethical at the very least.
VEGANS in the UK emboldened by a landmark legal case earlier this week could fight in the courts to have the £5 note changed because it is made with animal derivatives.
Here we go, you just knew there would be an agenda.
Ditto
He has damaged the reputation of the business, he must have known he was likely to lose his job.
Do stockbrokers check if companys they invest pension fund
money into are compliant with ethical pressure groups dictates?
If not, how can the investor he blamed?
Donkeyman!
The tribunal to decide at a later date whether he was treated differently because of his belief. LACS say it was because of his misconduct.
Investors can and probably will withdraw.
Thats probably true Cinders, which makes me think that the whole
thing is a vegan plot to apply pressure via our self serving legal
system?
Donkeyman!
PS. I Would insert a LOL but l am serious!
With all of the turmoil over animal “rights” , I can’t help but wonder how long it will be before some group objects to leather shoes, citing cruelty to animals ? 
Why just £5 notes? Are the rest made of something different?
They have now got the ‘green light’ to demand everyone and everything is vegan and vegan friendly.
The older notes are ok, or else we would have heard about it.
