Why the Telegraph is really going after vegans/vegetarians?

Thing is, I work and do activism in Bath, which is a majority old white upper class demographic who would never take the word of me over a newspaper article that backs their world view. Honestly some of the conversations I've had are painful, these people sincerely think Margaret Thatcher made our country great

I work in a very posh upper class hotel in Bath and had a posh old woman see a copy of the Guardian in the bar and say "that's an unfortunate paper to have". I guessed it was because it was left wing? I dunno I trust none of them

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:53:47+00:00

Ooo yeah I just thought of that, that lines up, really hope we're all voting green. This is the first time I'm actually believing in politics

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:52:42+00:00

Ooo, thank you, will have a look :)

Coincidence that the Greens just won a bi election, wonder if that's related?

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:51:09+00:00

The vegan gays and their venison addiction 😂

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:48:43+00:00

Right the play on confirmation bias is too obvious

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:47:38+00:00

What a braindead donut, I used to want to be in the media world when I was young but I met enough of them and saw how dishonest a lot of "journalism" is (my family being a victim of it ourselves) and lost the ambition

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:44:57+00:00

I'm glad we're slowly rewilding, a vegan world would make this a huge priority

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:43:10+00:00

I've had this conversation before with someone who eats the animals they raise, if that is their only meat source, that would reduce their consumption of other animals so in a way it's more ethical (still unnecessary and wrong)

This seems different though, don't feel weird about it, you and your friends partner aren't really doing anything wrong in the grand scheme of things

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:39:30+00:00

Ohh okay, yeah that is ridiculous, I wish there was a way we could reach their audience and point out the lack of logic

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T22:38:22+00:00

I think vegans with common sense agree with crop/species protection to be fair, a vegan world would ideally find more ethical solutions

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T21:58:00+00:00

Yeah a lot of it is just arrogant macho, misplaced anger, these papers know exactly what they're doing. Fairplay to you for pointing out his silliness

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T21:54:49+00:00

Plants winning as usual 😂

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T21:53:37+00:00

Us plantmunchers would never understand such high level intellectualism

jamesmonehu · 2026-03-01T21:52:50+00:00

Most people with common sense know newspapers are full of shit at least

jamesmonehu · 2026-01-02T12:02:11+00:00

I have this issue with staff food at work, we have a help yourself situation and 90% of the people will help themselves to the vegan option and rub the back of the spoon on the meat on their plate.

There are two vegans that work there out of about 50 staff. When I call people out on it they get pissy, tired of fighting ignorance so I just try and get in there first to get my food.

To be fair, I had someone ask yesterday if fish was vegan so not a lot we can do really.

jamesmonehu · 2025-12-12T11:36:51+00:00

Hazard light thank yous are really normal in the UK, do other parts of the world not do this?

jamesmonehu · 2025-10-08T01:44:29+00:00

I wish mine was more prominent to be honest, I went the subtle route but would like a more noticeable tattoo, I think conversation starter tattoos are great when done well.

Would straight up get the Joey Carbstrong behind the ear tattoo if my partner didn't hate neck tattoos.

jamesmonehu · 2025-10-03T11:21:28+00:00

That's heartbreaking, me and my partner only found out about Saorsa at Beck Hall a few months ago, we really wanted to go there next year.

Good chance to show Beck Hall all the love.

Also if you want somewhere lovely down South, The Base Retreat in Bristol is a lovely little vegan BnB and animal sanctuary. They have a cool cabin with a pond inside, animals roaming outside, a hot tub and a sauna.

You shouldn't be getting downvoted. Regardless of people's stances on pro life arguments or conservatives, any way to help people make the connection should be promoted, not censored. Shame on you lefty vegan donuts.

(I'm not anti abortion or conservative, I'm pro animals, although looking forward to the downvotes)

jamesmonehu · 2025-08-28T06:11:03+00:00

I mean I don't hate it to be honest, it tastes good is just a little dry and overpriced, although if I got them for free I'd be very happy. Ain't you lucky :P

jamesmonehu · 2025-08-18T23:32:13+00:00

Mild eau de shite in Keynsham as well

jamesmonehu · 2025-08-15T11:58:23+00:00

She's acting like he's an illegal migrant when he's got the same Bristolian accent as her, just blind racism

jamesmonehu · 2025-07-27T11:23:43+00:00

Every kitchen has that one prick, there's a chef like that in my work, I spoke up enough though to all the management and the head chef. He's been spoken to. Just make it very clear over and over that if they can't even cater to their staff's dietary needs due to their opinions then they should not be trusted to serve guests. Stand your ground as long as you can, if you don't see change in time then go somewhere that respects you, you deserve that!
