Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

[sealion]

Riiiight. So how is the ethnic profile of Deptford looking now, as opposed to 5 years ago, and 25 years ago?

As you'd imagine it would be due the gentrifaction. I suppose you will require stats and charts too! I put up a link about social cleansing around that area, that should give you an idea.

You might also want to try checking out both the links posted on the thread, and the words, if you’re having trouble finding stuff.

I have read the article several times from several outlets, he is quoted differntly in a few of them. Now about this Millwall flag that doesn't exist

Fuck’s sake - at least usually I get paid for indulging idiots...

I may come back and explain things nice and slowly when I can be arsed or are sufficiently bored.

Good enough?

Oh, i should be grateful for your time time now Explain yourself, where's the Millwall flag?
What other social changes might this bloke have a problem with?

Well, you're getting it at infinitely below market rates, and I really have no reason to explain myself beyond what I've already said, so you could at least consider yourself more than duly indulged.

Your flag is in the Sun article. Note that I never said at any point that it was in a window.

Thought not.It still makes you a cunt.

I don't read the racist rag, it's for idiots, nor is it my flag. It wasn't in the original link either, also that bloke is not a Millwall fan. h2h, over and out.

Just saw a FB friend going on and on about some vegan fake meat thing that has outraged him to the core of his soul, with a fleet of equally enraged friends of his all joining in to decry the food.

Why the fuck do they care?

bonkers init! saw people kicking off and getting angry at dominoes doing vegan pizzas, it's weird as they're not stopping doing meat ones

Sitwell should realise we live in a post-joke world now.

Nice of the writer to publish his email

Waitrose magazine editor quits after joke about killing vegans

If it had been a good joke he's have been getting death threats.

I went to a vegan stand-up comedy gig a few weeks back...

Do you think if a member of Waitrose floor staff made a similar joke when asked about what vegan food they had would keep their job? I wonder what the difference is?

 

[D'wards]

I feel quite sorry for the writer Selene- she pitched an article about hostility to vegans, and the buzzfeed journalist saw that email and realised that was the story.

She's getting a lot of grief on Twitter, with a lot of people suggesting she may be hoist by her own petard as a lot of editors may actively avoid her now.

Qu'elle mysterioso...

I actually think they would (or certainly should), tbh. It's a 'bollocking-for-being-a-dickhead' offence, not a job losing one.

 

[killer b]

bullshit.

 

[killer b]

either way, fuck him.

The Waitrose magazine isn't an organ of free speech and political expression, it's and advertising pamphlet - it exists purely to sell Waitrose products. Including their vegan products.

 

[Spymaster]

But this was a private email exchange between him and this Nelson woman. I actually think she's out of order making it public.

She's a whistleblower highlighting institutional oppression.

 

[killer b]

Why? He's a vulgar bully, and the email demonstrates that. I'm fine with bullying emails sent in professional contexts being made public. The only reason he's walking is because in this one he also alienates a large and growing part of Waitrose's customer base.

Exactly. Waitrose are bang in the market segment for the expansion demographic for such products and having someone in charge with such predilections means likely missing out on a whole load of marketing opportunities. Quite aside from any negative publicity.

There was a lot of very competent standing involved.

From Popbitch:

William Sitwell is currently being held aloft as the latest victim of PC culture, kicked out of the editor's chair at Waitrose Magazine simply for making an ill-judged joke about trapping and killing vegans to a freelance journalist who pitched him a vegan column – but there may be a touch more to the situation that just that. Sitwell has apparently been considered something of an office liability for a while now, so it's no real surprise that his post-lunch emails were a little near the knuckle.

Coming back to work one afternoon, rather refreshed after a longish lunch break, he loudly announced to the office "It smells of cunt in here!" Then, on another occasion, he was ushered out of a client meeting for turning up in similarly good spirits (he then used this unexpectedly free time to pop back out for a top-up). And the less said about his nights on the town with Hardeep Singh Kohli, the better...

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I like making jokes about veganism as much as the next man but how the fuck is anyone reading that and thinking it’s anything other than really intimidating? What a weirdo

 

[Spymaster]

From Popbitch:

Seems like the fella's a bit of a knob then.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I'm outraged about this Waitrose thing. Outraged.

Tarnishing the good reputation of Waitrose's marketing department, I mean how much more heinous do crimes get? First this, then next people will start saying that avocados taste like nothing and that if sourdough was actually any good we wouldn't have invented yeast. Then the whole aspirational system collapses into chaos.

 

[Spymaster]

Don’t be a plank, Frank.

I guess if someone ate the slugs and snails it would do something towards mitigating the situation.

The heir presumptive to a baronetcy and a descendent of the writers Edith Osbert and Sacheverell Sitwell, the Old Etonian also hosts supper clubs at his family’s 17th-century manor house in Northamptonshire.

The prosecution rests.

I thought it had been conclusively proved beyond any shadow of a doubt on this very thread that it's fragile carnists who are unaware of/in denial about the cruelty involved in their adopted lifestyle and not vegans who everyone knows are both totally aware and totally good.
