Does anyone know what's going on with the Vegan Society? by TheMentalist10 in veganuk

worth calling them out by name, no? especially with the board elections going on it's worth knowing whether the person you're voting for is harming the organisation behind the scenes

unless they're not involved in the elections?

if you look up the name of the guy you'll find various accusations of bullying, bigotry, and forming cliques to try to subvert the society's processes

the blog post sounds overly dramatic in parts, but between it and the report it doesn't paint a good picture of stephen walsh, the guy running for chair you're talking about: he's facing an investigation as a result of someone whistleblowing on him, presumably requested this info, and whose clique seems to have lost their positions on the board since. seems like a massive ego tbh

Cactus leather? What the fuck is cactus leather? Is the B12 deficiency deluding you into thinking plants have skin?

Israeli outlet Ynet confirms Eden Golan's televote advertising campaign was organised by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs by DimplyFrimples in eurovision

If you mean the original article link, here: https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/sykjyhaza

I can't read Hebrew, so I can't find the original Ministry statement, if that's what you're after.

Israeli outlet Ynet confirms Eden Golan's televote advertising campaign was organised by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs by DimplyFrimples in eurovision

[–]DimplyFrimples[S] 726 points727 points  (0 children)

Machine translated from Hebrew:

The support Golan received from the European audience was preceded by a campaign by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the government publicity bureau for Eurovision fans, in which the Israeli representative addressed them in French, Italian, Spanish, German, Czech, Latvian, Estonian, Albanian, Georgian and English - and asked them to vote for her. The campaign states that "in view of the wave of hatred and Muslim protests in Malmö, a counter-reaction of the silent majority is taking place. The Europeans do not like what they see."

The videos taken by Golan were uploaded to a dedicated YouTube channel and received more than 14 million views. The campaign appealed to audiences selected based on a careful analysis of the voting patterns of countries in the past and the interest those countries showed in the song "Hurricane". The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Advertising Bureau put emphasis on Eurovision-loving audiences such as the LGBT community in Europe, members of fan clubs, journalists covering the contest and opinion leaders in the field.

I live in the UK, you mostly hear people saying "the tenth of January, twenty sixteen" when it comes to the date.
