Mary had a Little Lamb – 1816 racism 2016 speciesism – JUST SAY NO !!!!

  By Andie Handei Kumafaro • December 11, 2016 , ,

Mary had a Little Lamb – 1816 racism 2016 speciesism – JUST SAY NO ! Violated rights – If you accept that animals have rights, raising and killing animals for food is morally wrong. An animal raised for food is being used by others rather than being respected for itself. In philosopher’s terms it is being treated as a means to human ends and not as an end in itself. This is a clear violation of the animal’s rights. http://animalrightsacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Comparingracismandspeciesism.pdf MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB Mary had a little lamb, and she really didnt know, that her cute and cuddly … Continue reading

CITY SLICKERS – London White Collar Crime Scene – BANKING SCAM

  By Andie Handei Kumafaro • November 5, 2016 ,

Report after Report, post bailouts to the Banking Sector 2015 and 2016 have been a wash with scandals and cover up’s over Financial Services. Investigations into critically weak financial controls in Drugs and Alcohol support Charities, British Banks handling vast sums of laundered Money, Drugs and Alcohol Testing on the rise in the workplace though apparantly not a workplace issue ? Despite this, and the constant “disappearing” evidence of studies and results based statistics damning the white collar de-personalising automon office culture, the self seeking need for decadence clearly continues to reign supreme –  85% of workers admit to being drunk … Continue reading

VEGAN KITCHEN – The Greatest thing since Sliced Bread !

  By Andie Handei Kumafaro • July 23, 2016 ,

  VEGAN KITCHEN – The Greatest thing since Sliced Bread !  There was once something so ful-filling , so spiritual in a fresh loaf of bread, the staple food basis of all civilizations since the raising of the pyramids, yet today as appetising as eating a roll of kleenex ! Bread is an unmitigated disaster in the UK these day’s, a tasteless grey misery, an ascetic’s dream and pitiful example of how far austerity had taken hold in abstinence from the normal pleasures of life, and sucking out all satisfaction all nourishment from the pantry. What nightmare is this laid out before me … Continue reading
