National Vegetarian Week 2010
Butcher of Oldham on the Warpath
2 men from the UK Vegetarian Society have a narrow escape whilst celebrating National Vegetarian Week with some meat free kebabs and unwittingly incurring the wrath of the Butcher of Oldham.
The Butcher has his sights firmly set on the vegetarian pair, cleaver in hand, eying them up for his next batch of sausages.
Now That's what I call a Green Party!
The what's on finale event of National Vegetarian week will be at the other end of the country in Bristol for a stonking Bank Holiday Weekend food and music festival and Meat Free Sunday on Bristol's trendy new harbourside.

Corned beef tainted with drug
What the hell's name for poison your brain food industry scam is an acceptable amount of a drug used to treat cattle for parasites???
Stand up all those meat eaters are ok with just a little bit of organophosphates in their sandwich?
Whatever is an acceptable amount according to Grace Foods (ARGG! ARRGG! Share alert! see Grace Foods stock market value tumble on wall street today) has been exceeded in possibly 22,000 cans of corned beef so Grace foods are recalling them in case 'people get sickened' (just a remote possibility)
Me I'm sickened already , not that I eat corned beef, just at the extent and magnitude of the job in hand to fight the extent of moral corruption in the food industry. You can bet your falling share price that this sort of thing is just the tip of the iceberg.

Vote now to save the world
If the Conservatives get in we are doomed - in 4 years it will be too late to do anything really positive to save the planet. Leaving it to market forces won't hack it. Their mates are making money out of misery as we speak - thanks to first the the UK and now to Greece investment bankers bonuses are bigger than ever.
Fran Armstrong has made her film the Age of stupid free to watch until it's too late (tonight at 10pm) phone all your friends and relatives - if they haven't voted yet tell them it's their last chance to save the world - in this election EVERY vote counts.
