Can someone not tell these 1700 people to get a life?

If you solely object to it, then it's simple, just don't use it. You can get away with card purchases for most things of this day and age, and for small items, you can use coins.

plastic is technically made from dead animals, vegans prefer to pay with kindness and legal highs /s

animals walk around in air, therefore some of their essence will rub off on the molecules. i strongly advise these ars...er, activists to refrain from breathing in until the government does something about this awful situation.

What are they going to do in May when the old one is no longer legal tender? And summer 2017 when the polymer £10 note goes into circulation, and polymer £20 in 2020?

A more useful petition would be for these 1700 people to be put on a small island somewhere.

I've got no beef with the new £5 note ingredients.

This petition serves a good purpose.

It tells us how exactly how insignificantly small the fraction of people who are up in arms about this is.

TBH there are so many people who complain when there is any change at all, i am surprised there has not been any major complaints on the £5 design or anything like that (not that there are any reasons to complain)

Anyone unhappy with their notes, I'll give them £4.20 for it.

As an added bonus, the coins I use do not contain animal product.

And of course no Vegan can reply to your messages because you have an animal product in your name

So next time I am forced to enter Engerland I have a new thing to shout in an angry voice when my Scottish fivers are refused.
I really want to find some up-its-own-arse vegan cafe down South and try to pay for a vegan cheese bagel with a Scottish £5 note to see what kicks off....

Please note that this is my new favourite thing and will be posted until it's as worn out as Doofer's "rhyl" comment. I apologise in advance.

That's a self portrait surely

Good! You know I am actually pleased they have tallow in just to **** off the vegans. I am sick of their whining and the way they ram their ways at you. Take pound coins instead and stop ya bitchin!

Better add it to the list of millions of every day objects that have some sort of animal ingredient.

This.

Any violin players here will know that the bow uses horse hair! Like you said, everything on this planet comes from somewhere, including animals. The planet is as one.

Not to mention plastics are oil based, oil comes from crushed dinosaurs (amongst other things) pretty sure dinosaurs count as animals...

The dinosaurs were not killed or kept by people for the purposes of people.

There's a huge humanitarian crisis unfolding in Syria and vegans/vegetarians are up in arms about a trace of animal fat in a £5 note. What a sad indictment of Britain in 2016.

How sad then is the person that bothers to write about their reactions to someone else's offence on a forum like this?

No, they were just inhumanly suffocated, burnt, drowned and crushed by a giant rock from space. :rolleyes:

So its ok to use oil that has been obtained through inhumane means, I know it was not out fault but space is a killer. Lets ban space that should work.

Loads of things use animal by products, might want to check your next medicine and medicinal creams.

Oh and if you ever used a condom it will have casein in which is from milk protein.

Animals are everywhere enjoy them, stroke them, eat them, wear them, use them and rub animal residual all over your face for that better complexion.

With some cows. See if they eat them.

helpimcrap · 30 Nov 2016 at 19:23

So don't eat or lick the money?

Tell them the animal fat comes from animals that are sacred in religion and watch the country kick off! Lol
