Maybe Trump got mixed up. Terrifying extremist Martyr Trump's a big Bairn so he's his real intended target... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 As I always say I encourage more people to become veggies or vegans. It's in my interest- in the event of total global armageddon we may be reduced to eating each other and I want to protect my food supply on the basis that they can't eat me but I can eat them... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Ferrino Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 9 hours ago, Gnash said: I find the whole concept of protected categories pretty bizarre. I don't think this guy should be sacked for being a vegan (maybe for being a twat), but then I don't think I should be sacked for being a Stirling Albion fan, and that's not a protected category. Why should his ethical conviction on veganism be see as more important to employment status than my support of a Scottish League 2 football team? Chill your boots, he’s only trying to wind people like you up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjc Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 10 hours ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: I've come across a few like that over the past few years - simplistic "meat is killing the planet" shite that ignores the reality that two-thirds of carbon emissions come from inefficient transportation and energy use. I also wonder how he might react when you point out to him that almost all vegetable production uses some sort of organic animal waste in the shape of manure - often pig slurry. If he genuinely is an ethical vegetarian then the only way he could guarantee it would be growing all his own food, directly sourcing all his own clothing etc etc. It's middle class posturing of the worst kind. Most carbon emissions come from nature itself. I agree with your point though. It's virtue signalling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 18 hours ago, ICTChris said: In a landmark court case, a court has ruled that ethical veganism is a philosophical belief and is therefore protected by law. The case was brought by Jordi Casamitjana as part of an unfair dismissal claim against his former employer, the League Against Cruel Sports. mr Casamitjana, a former employee of the League, found that the groups pension funds were investing in companies who utilise animal testing and finding his complaints getting nowhere he raised the issue with his colleagues. Folowing this Mr Casamitjana claims he was fired because of this, the League say he was dismissed due to gross misconduct. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-50981359 Ethical veganism differs from simplay following a vegan diet - people who consider themselvesr ethical vegans try and live their lives while avoiding any harm to animals, from not wearing wool or leather, to not using animal tested products. Mr Casamitjana even says he doesn't use public transport because of the risk of insects or birds being hit by a bus or train. The ruling states that being an ethical vegan is a protected status falling under the Equality Act - it hasn't decided on whether Mr Casamitjana was unfairly dismissed. Are any P&Bers ethnical vegans? Have any P&Bers ever avoided a bus trip in case it ran over an insect? Ace Ventura will be on the case for those innocent victims of the hit and run bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broomhill Ultra Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I’ve gone vegan as an experiment to see how it affects my fitness, weight and general well-being. While doing it I’ll do some reading up on the environmental arguments for and against as well before deciding what I keep if anything long term. Personally I’m not comfortable with any argument that puts animal ‘rights’ in any kind of similar footing to human rights so I will continue to massacre insects driving my SUV up the A9. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fair comment IMO. People who bang on about how the planet is overpopulated (it is) and how we need to reduce the number of people living on it never volunteer to kill themselves; it's always somebody else/some other ethnic group who should be sacrificed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
