I assumed that his speaking out was what got him sacked. Sorry minestrone, I got it wrong. You were right. Indeed, for all we know it could have been getting his keyboard and screen sticky.

It would be funny if it wasn't so concerning in an Orwellian kind of way...

Originally posted by psychocandy View PostCompany reckon they sacked him for something completely unrelated and that hes pulling the vegan line. Although he has admitted to kicking off about the companies pension fund choices.
Can't stand idiots like him because it makes all Vegans look like idiots. I'm not Vegan but I've got vegan friends who's attitude is "up to personal choice, you do what you want and I'll do what I want". I've been out for meals with them. eaten meat, and its not bothered them one bit.
Of course, I take the piss a lot, and, to be fair, I was right - the vegan cake my friend baked did taste like tulipe.

The law has been previously tested by Catholic midwives being dismissed for refusing to have 'involvement' in termination procedures.
Compare the BBC's reporting of the 2 cases...
Catholic midwives lose abortion case at UK Supreme Court - BBC News
The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children get three lines in there, rebuffed by numerous quotes that abortion is a right. Opinion from the BBC that the law needed to be clarified.
Mr Ethical Vegan...
Sacked vegan claims discrimination in landmark case - BBC News
...gets a stage to promote his agenda from the first section, explanation of the law and how he falls under discrimination for his beliefs. No challenges that medical testing is necessary no matter how unpleasant it may be.
Being upset that a monkey gets anusol stuck in its eye results in a "landmark case", being asked to assist in killing unborn children is just a "case"

Mr Casamitjana says he has been discriminated against many times because of his vegan beliefs.
He said: "It is important for all the vegans to know that if they want to talk about veganism, they are protected and no-one will say 'Shut up'.
[tinfoilhat]This looks like more attacks on free speech[/tinfoilhat]
The real story here is:
In a statement, the League Against Cruel Sports said: "Mr Casamitjana was dismissed from his position because of gross misconduct.
"To link his dismissal with issues pertaining to veganism is factually wrong.
"Mr Casamitjana is seeking to use his veganism as the reason for his dismissal. We emphatically reject this claim."

Doesn't stop the BBC going full in the usual "minority oppression" narrative.
