@samofbowchurch This year it's just outside Baldock Hertfordshire. And this was lunch and it was bloody amazing

Here again, it's so nice to walk up to any food outlets and not have to ask about their vegan options

@ThatVeganJin Sex!

@NothingIsArt I don't just threaten it, I do it!

One of the younger one that has stayed with us (17) has just been moved on to the next stage. Corby. He started to say it wasn't very nice and it was a little unwelcoming, then stopped and said, on reflection it's far better & safer than Libia

I mentioned yesterday that I'm working with Asylum seekers. Today one of our guests left the hotel to start his next stage of his new life he is making. Here are some words from him to me. A little artists licence on Google translate. 1 of 2...

2-2 Professor, thank you very much. Today I am going and I am honored by you and by knowing you. You have become my support and friend. I do not feel any deficiency here. Thank you very much for all the favor you have done for me. I wish you success, guidance, health & wellness.

There is a lot being said by mainly the far right that some asylum seekers are working illegally, but they seldom if at all mention that the companies employing them are also doing it illegally, not paying company TAX etc. I wonder why this is never talked about

[Hairy_Hiker Ⓥ @MartinWeek47113]

@bmay A little known fact, that after a year in the asylum process they are legally allowed to seek employment, they may well still be housed in a hotel,but can work and start paying taxes

Who's going to VCO at the end of the month?

@domdyer70 It is good that they did this, but how many of those guys go home to a roast lamb dinner.

I've come to realise that the arguments against veganism and asylum seekers are the same. They are both fueled by misinformation (big time). I'm a vegan and work closely with asylum seekers. So I know from 1st hand how far the anti is from the truth on both

@IOweYouNathan Take away the convenience of processed foods. It's too easy to consume cruelty when that cruelty is so far removed from sight.

[Hairy_Hiker Ⓥ @MartinWeek47113]

@Edwarda2971214 Yep. That's us

[Hairy_Hiker Ⓥ @MartinWeek47113]

That was a very long day!

Sorry for the auto correct

Just rewatching 'Ghost Town's @rickygervais . One of my top five films of my life. Just brilliant

We say “beef” instead of cow, “pork” instead of pig. Language hides reality so we don’t think about who we’re eating. But meat is always the body of an innocent animal, no matter what we call it.

When they arrive in the main, they only have 1 pair of sliders, jogging trousers, T shirt, jumper and a thin jacket. That's it. No underwear, no soap, toothpaste /brush, deodorant. Forget the 'they get iPhones/laptops' it just doesn't happen

So, how are my followers doing? I'm deep in dealing with asylum seekers. Over recent months I have met and befriended around 400. All bar a handful have been a joy to meet, they have educated me on so many levels. Don't believe what you hear on the media outlets. It's bollocks
