    Are you the only one on this thread who actually read the article? Everyone else seems to be arguing about what they guess the article must have said.

      I'm sure many read it. Understanding it however.

      I still think it's a bad decision
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Thought I summarised it quite well to be fair:

          Nope, he hasn't been let off because he eats plants.

          The first case was "is ethical veganisim a philosophical belief"
          Which he won.

          The next case is "was he fired for his belief or for disclosing private company information"?
          That case hasn't come to court yet, so he most certainly has NOT been "let off because he eats plants"
          …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            My foresight will bear fruit. Vegan-friendly fruit.

              Read carefully. He has not been let off. That is part 2 of the tribunal.

              Which part of this are you having difficulty with? There's been no ruling yet about whether he has been unfairly dismissed or not.

                According to sommat I heard on the Beeb yesterday, the chap won't travel by bus in case said bus injures an insect.

                Sounds like a Jain.
                When the fun stops, STOP.

                  Somebody should tell him how many insects are killed during the harvesting of wheats and grains.
