In this month’s edition of Vegan Life Magazine, there’s a feature on the upcoming EU Referendum. Even though I’m not allowed to vote, I believe that it is absolutely imperative for the UK to remain within the Union for a really long list of reasons. I won’t go into all of them here, because we’d be here all week, but I do want to touch on the issue of animal rights on the back of this particular article. [ Read More… ] …
Just a quick post to say I’ll be back to regular content soon. We’ve been struggling with a nasty virus for the past three weeks and to top things off, my laptop has died at the worst possible time, so proper blogging is impossible at the moment.
