You might think I'm being factious with that title, but no, these people are genuinely beyond parody.
It's a recurring thing.
Right wing astroturfing groups keep trying to get control of the national trust.

If it's not vegan food, they're complaining about pride, or people explaining where all the money for these big country houses came from.
The group's actually run out of the same place as a Tory think-tank. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/jan/28/national-trust-captured-by-well-funded-fake-grassroots-group-restore-trust
My coffee is WHAT???? ๐ค
If my coffee had to be vegan, I would be kinda upset because it means I couldn't have any dairy cream in it.
If my coffee couldn't be vegan (even served black), I would be even more upset because WTF would they be doing to it to make it inherently not-veganโฝ
Jello and marshmallows aren't vegan for WTF reasons
Yeah, they usually contain gelatin, which is extracted from animal skins and bones.
Vegan gelling agents are available (and in fact, marshmallows originally used marshmallow roots), but I guess, gelatin is just so cheap, because it's a waste product from animal slaughter.
So no more jello in my coffee either?
Same with most bread, beer, wine, apple juice, potato chips and white sugar.
I knew about the others, but what about bread and potato chips is not vegan?
Bread often contains L-Cysteine, made from hog hair or poultry feathers, as a baking aid. It is labelled as food additive E920.
Potato chips often contain whey powder, and some aromas contain animal products even if you wouldn't expect it.
Ah sweet, this'll do a good job removing some of the arseholes from NT locations. Great stuff!
i don't know anything about this but I am now very angry that "facetious", "factious", and "fictious" are all words
This is very funny because I meant to put facetious.
This person clearly forgot when they tried to force their employees to wear pride lanyards, lol
