Sacked vegan claims discrimination in landmark case

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

This happened to a company I worked for previously, his belief was related to climate change....

BBC News - Climate change worker Tim Nicholson reaches settlement

That was a tattoo marra. He cut holes in the hat so you could see

Has anyone said he classes himself as "An ethical vegan" so apparently being Vegan alone isn't good enough

Aye, he's saying that just cos you always go to mass, drink the wine and eat the bread, it doesn't make you a Roman Catholic in his eyes.

 

[Aituk7]

How many do you personally know?

Vegans? Zero.

Whenever I meet one I always kill them for the good of society.

 

[Wilfy]

That’s what I was thinking. I could open some doors like.

You'd have to. Vegans will be too weak to do it.

So how do you know they are 'Preachy'

Vegan extremists

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................... protein

So how do you know they are 'Preachy'

Cos before I murder them, I have to identify them.

And they do a lot of that work for me.

Sacked vegan claims discrimination

"A tribunal is to be asked to decide whether veganism is a "philosophical belief" akin to a religion, in a landmark legal action."

Why not eh?

They can be just as preachy about their hobby....

Won't be long before the loonies start calling it a race

Veganism is a philosophical belief. Surely?

 

[Aituk7]

Aye, he's saying that just cos you always go to mass, drink the wine and eat the bread, it doesn't make you a Roman Catholic in his eyes.

They are pretty insistent on that one like.
Pizza and Beer isn't "close enough"

Veganism is a philosophical belief. Surely?

Probably, if you can believe in a man on a flying horse that cut the moon in half you can can believe in peas and carrots.

Not killing other humans is a philosophical belief.

If gammon is a race, then I don't see why vegan can't be.

 

[Bob Fleming]

This does seem like unfair dismissal to me. Not on the basis of being a vegan of course. But why would information about the activities of a company your pension fund invests in be confidential? The information about who/what a pension invests in should be available to all pension holders if not publicly available shouldn't it? Obviously, we don't know the detail of what he's done. For all we know he might have walked into the office with the words 'against animal testing' tattooed on his bellend which he was swinging around. That would be gross misconduct.

On a vegan bashing note I don't think I've ever met one who told me they were vegan who wasn't a bit of a twat or just hard work. My friend's daughter did it once and she is canny but it only lasted a couple of months.

Are you a vegan harry?

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Are you a vegan harry?

Nope. Daughter is and 90% of meals are now vegan. I reckon I will be soon enough.

The arguments for being vegan are compelling to me. Healthier, better for environment and stops the exploitation and suffering of billions of animals.

The killing of them isn't an issue for me, it's the industrialisation of their lives.

 

[Some Random Guy]

Can understand why he was sacked if the company judged that the information he was passing on was commercially sensitive but equally it does seem a bit ethically dubious for an animal welfare charity to be investing in companies that carry out animal testing, some of the people donating to them might choose not to if they were aware of that

It's probably not even the company in question, it will be whatever investment firm handles the pension.

They always have Harry. All those scenes you could be part of in the 60s through 90s. They've fuck all now. No the wonder they turn to shit like veganism.

They have their own scenes just not part of mainstream anymore.

That was always my argument mmmmmmmmm bacon

But I cannot remember the last bacon buttie I have had.

It's a sad state of affairs when Harry goes vegan. He'll be wearing hemp and walking around barefoot next. Country is going to the dogs.
