Vegan food is disappearing off a lot of pub menus cos they can't sell it !

Usually extremist organisations split because some will feel others are not "pure", it's the way of all these organisations.

It’s a Daily Mail article ffs.

It’s a Daily Mail article ffs.

It’s in all the papers, but is just a silly storm in a tea cup . The person causing the issues would you believe was born female but now identifies as a black, disabled, non gendered queer. Apparently she has been calling some of the others out as being white supremacist, cultural appropriating homophobes. Hardly surprising in an organisation with nazi roots

Couldn't read this article until I disabled ad-blocker, after which the page was full of pop ups for sausages, bacon and haggis.

Could see his/her CV getting “lost” when he/she she applies for her next post…..,, more hassle than it’s worth trying to employ that surely

My wife took our 4 year old daughter to a birthday party yesterday.
The parents of the birthday child were eco warrior types and amongst the party food on offer was a clearly labelled vegan pizza.
She took our little one back for seconds, everything was pretty much gone bar the untouched vegan pizza...

The old saying "there's nowt as queer as folk" is probably illegal these days.

It was a group of Tory MP's telling everyone to go vegan for January wasn't it?

Yep I went to a restaurant for the first time in 18 months over the weekend. Last time I went they actually had a totally vegan menu running alongside their normal menu. iirc the vegan menu had about a dozen to 15 items on it. At the weekend there was 1 main course. I clocked this and asked the manager and he just laughed saying they had had to do it to keep the jobsworths happy but it had been such a failure with extremely low demand they have removed them. He went on to say they have a fact file ready to go showing the financial loss they had sustained by offering a large vegan menu so when they get pulled up over it they will just pull the file out and prove its not sustainable.

Yep but are you honestly telling me the vegan society is full of tories and ukip members?

 

[Muck Spreader]

I've learned one thing from the article, that person who don't know what gender they are supposed to be are addressed as 'they' as apposed to 'he', 'she' or 'it'. I presume this is result of only eating fruit and veg!

No, but I wasn't the one invoking some political dualism that fails to account for the fact that the current government have their fingerprints all over the current Vegan push and 'anti-farming' legislation.

Doubt it. There's more to a person electing to be non-binary than meets the eye. The individual involved is multi-diverse in their background already, and has chosen an extreme diet to boot.

It could be there is a problem with all sorts of prejudice within the "movement". I don't know anybody to do with it who would be a reliable source of information on the subjects involved.

A group of Tory MP’s making statements to align themselves with the latest perceived populist movement, surely not.
