  • 2016 will probably be remembered as the year it all started really going to shit.

    In Europe, mainstream politics seams to be taking a (very regrettable) swing to the far right - and there are worrying signs that the banking systems of Germany and Italy could well be in deep shit.

    In the UK, many of our political leaders and the media are openly suggesting we simply ignore the result of a public, democratic referendum, just 'cos they don't fancy how it turned out.

    The Middle East is in turmoil, and there are literally millions of homeless and dispossessed trying to find sanctuary somewhere in the world.

    The United States - the most dominant military power on earth have elected a retard as President.

    Meanwhile, in Cambridge, some over-privileged sanctimonious melts are up in arms because there are trace elements of tallow in the new fiver.

    Get a fucking grip.

    This would be the advisory referendum, which is advising that we do something deeply stupid and harmful?

    = I'm quite glad that some public figures are pointing out that it would be stupid and harmful.

    Shop that exists to provide products which are free of/from dead animals puts this moral value/belief before the desire for money. People who don't share shop's moral position call them "knobheads" and tell them to "get a fucking grip."

    The correct response to this shops actions should be, I think for the most part, "meh."

  • So you're saying that because the world is going to hell in a hand basket, people should just abandon any principles/morals they subscribe to (regardless of whether you hold the same level of regard for these morals)?

    I don't know why this upsets you so much. Did they turn you away? Were you unable to purchase your falafel and quinoa wrap?

    Seems to me like a fairly effective way for them to not be involved in something they don't agree with. They're not going round ripping fivers out of peoples' hands and burning them. They're vegetarians and they're saying they don't want to be part of something that uses animal products, I don't get the outrage.
