FRENCHMEN and women took to

the streets in their millions this
month to show their support for
a free press and to take a stand
against racism (Steve Ward writes

THE FOUNDER of one of

Britains most popular and fastgrowing vegetarian and vegan
events has told FG how he
wants to give activists the tools
they need to raise the profile of
green issues.
Speaking
exclusively
with
this
magazine Tim Barford explained the
reasons why VegFest15 Brighton will

this year go political less than six

weeks away from polling day.
Time has been set aside for a
political debate in the Brighton
Centre, the venue for this years
festival and hired at a cost of 35k.
The centre is a favourite with all
three major parties and The Grand
Hotel, just down the road, was the
scene for the unsuccessful attempt in
1986 on the then prime minister
Margaret Thatchers life by the IRA.

from France).

The defiant 'manifestations' came

in the wake of the tragic death of 12
staff of the satirical French
magazine Charlie Hebdo who were
gunned down in cold blood by crazy
Islamic State terrorists as they sat in
an editorial meeting at their Paris
offices.
Their murderers, brothers Cherif
and Said Kouachi, were later killed
by police as they stormed a factory
in north east France where the pair
were hiding out having taken a
hostage.

Big cringe plan gets

Melbourne heave-ho
BOSSES at an Indian meditation
group
are
this
month
considering whether to press
ahead with plans to build a
'place of worship' on green belt
land in eastern Australia.
The plan from Radha Soami Satsang
Beas was thrown out by concerned
local politicians last month after it
attracted more than 400 objections
by green activists and local residents.
Demonstrations were mounted
against the bid which were widely
reported.
And one member of the group itself
has described the plan as 'cringe'
making.
The huge site, (see artists
impression right) would have covered
60 hectares. The building alone
would have taken up 6,301 square
metres. Location was Chirnside Park,
on the outskirts of Australia's second
city, Melbourne and slap bang in the
green wedge.
An olive grove and market garden
were included to try to satisfy environmental requirements to no avail.
In an email an Australian FG
correspondent and a member of the
Radha Soami Satsang Beas group
said: For ourselves and a few close
friends, the Melbourne centre has
been one big cringe.

Artists impression of the proposal

"In order to get planning approval

RSSB Australia (board of directors)
have claimed that RSSB is a religious
order and that the purpose is to build
a place of worship, sermons and
meditation etc.
"Two meetings a week with an
attendance of roughly 500 and for
the annual event about 2000.
"It also completely ignored the fact
that the chosen site is in a green
wedge zone. From the outset the
[Yarra Ranges] council stated that
they would not support such a
proposal as it is not in accordance

with their strategic planning of the

zone.
"Not surprisingly, the council
received 450 written objections.
The submission has cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars and the cost
of building the centre estimated at
about $7 million.
"In the last seven years the sangat
(membership) has grown at such a
rate that finding venues to
accommodate all their needs is
extremely difficult. The obvious
solution would be to have [centres]
perhaps east and west of the city
rather
than
expecting
Chirnside Park residents
demonstrate against the plan
everyone to travel long
distances far out of the CBD
(central business district) to
one centre.
This outer [external] form
of organisation has become
extremely high maintenance.
"It was no surprise that
planning
permission
was
refused and although RSSB has
backed off (unlikely to take
the matter to court) it is still
considering its other options.
"The question remains, can it
be a good thing if the wrong
means is used to obtain it?

or airport.

Caroline Lucas MP - could be there

Hinting that Brighton MP and only Green in the

House, Caroline Lucas, might attend Barford
explained: The idea is three fold: One: to
provide [a forum] thats beyond making
scrambled tofu. People who have been vegan a
long time want something which is a bit more
interesting for them.
Two: To provide tools for activists who want to
raise these issues and get them further up the
agenda. There will be workshops on how to do
that most effectively.
And three: The media value - to try and make
people understand [through the media] that these
are areas that people care about, areas which
matter to people.
Among the issues up for debate could be:
alternative energy sources
child labour
vegetarian and vegan diets in hospitals,
schools and other public bodies
global warming and diet
Other politicians lined up for the groundbreaking event are: Kerry McCarthy (Bristol East,
Labour), Caroline Allen (Green Party spokesman
on animal issues), Keith Taylor (Green Party South
East MEP), with more to be confirmed.
The political sessions will be held on Saturday
March 28th from 12pm-5:30pm.

Nothing was sacred

or untouchable except freedom

A tribute
by
Grard
EGEA

WHEN two Muslim terrorists burst into the offices of a

satirical magazine in Paris on January 7 and massacred 12
innocent journalists they thought they were silencing
free speech.
Instead they awakened a nation, and indeed the world,
to a fundamental democratic liberty to which they
themselves were oblivious.
First there was Hara-Kiri a magazine which basked in
the monica "dumb and nasty".
The cover of the first edition showed a disembowelled
samouri warrior captioned 'evil be to evil paunch"
These brilliant satirists knew from the beginning they
were cheating death.
The magazine was banned many times and it was at the
end of 1970 that the name was changed to Charlie Hebdo
to avoid the ban.
Nothing was sacred or holy for them, nothing
untouchable except liberty itself.
Neither religion nor politics, nor social conformity
were immune to the magazine's cartoonists who used the
weapon of laughter against all forms of oppression.
This spirit could be called leftist or anarchist but it is
really beyond classification.
This Charlie Hebdo spirit is essentially French.
Those who were murdered were irreplaceable.
M Egea is a philosopher, retired school professor and
author. He is also an avid reader of Charlie Hebdo ever
since it first hit the streets of Paris as one of Frances
top political satirical publications.

ORSQUE deux terroristes musulmans ont

fait irruption dans les bureaux d'un
magazine satirique Paris le 7 Janvier et
12 journalistes innocents massacrs qu'ils
pensaient rduisent au silence la libert
d'expression.

Au contraire, ils rveills une nation, et mme du

monde, une libert dmocratique fondamentale
laquelle ils se taient inconscients .
Il y avait Hara-Kiri qui se disait un journal bte et
mchant .
La couverture du premier numro de Hara-Kiri montrait
un samoura ventr avec la lgende Honni soit qui mal
y panse .
Ces brillants satiristes savaient-ils ds le dbut qu'ils
taient des trompe-la-mort ?
Le magazine fut plusieurs fois interdit et c'est la suite
d'une interdiction que Charlie Hebdo lui succda la fin
de l'anne 1970 pour viter l'interdiction.
Rien de sacr, ni de saint pour eux, rien d'intouchable,
sauf la libert. Ni la religion, ni la politique, ni le
conformisme social n'taient l'abri des caricaturistes du
magazine qui usaient de l'arme du rire contre toutes les
formes d'oppression.
Cet esprit pourrait tre qualifi d'anarchiste, de
gauchiste. L'esprit de Charlie Hebdo, un esprit rebelle
bien franais.
Les personnes assassines taient de celles qui sont
irremplaables.

millions from nefarious
activities.
Now Joe Mantegna is
seeking a dollop of the real
stuff to make a blockbuster
of his own.
Mantegna best known for
his roles in The Three
Amigos and The Godfather
Part III and more recently
as a special agent in
Criminal Minds has
announced plans to make a
film on the life of St Padre
Pio of Pietrelcina.
Padre Pio, died in Sept
1968 aged 81. He was a
monk and a priest and was
known as a miracle worker.
He bore the wounds of
Christ known as stigmata and was made
a saint by Rome in June 2002.
Mantegna has already sunk an
undisclosed sum of his own dosh into
the project but plenty more still needs
to be raised.
In a video appeal for funding,
Mantegna described Padre Pio as one
of the most extraordinary men of the
20th century and said his life was
truly the stuff of legend.
Painstaking efforts will be made to
recreate the time period, including the
costumes, hairstyles and furniture,
right down to the sandals on Padre
Pios feet, he said.
Mantegna and his production partner
Danny Ramm will make the film
through their company Acquaviva
Productions and it will be filmed on
locations in Italy, in Pietrelcina and San
Giovanni Rotondo in the Puglia region.
Schedule permitting, Mantegna will
star in the title role.
A percentage of the proceeds from
the film will go to the Saint Pio
Foundation and help further its work to
establish charity medical facilities in
the USA.

Egg substitute? Its

no yolk
FG exclusive
by Stephen
Ward

TAKE a bit of corn starch some potato protein, pea

protein, and lupine flour add some rock salt, turmeric
powder, black salt, gelling agent, xanthan gum, locust
bean gum, ground white pepper, make sure 75.6% of
the ingredients are from controlled organic EU and
non-EU farms and what have you got?
Answer: the latest miracle egg substitute set to take
the lacto-veg and vegan markets by storm.
According to the company "MyEy is a revolutionary
invention of the plant based kitchen.
"It is in no way inferior to a hens egg and consists of
pure natural and plant based ingredients.
"Compared to hens eggs, this plant based egg is
cholesterol free and good for your health. MyEy
products are for thickening, loosening and enriching of
dishes.
"They can be used for starters, main dishes, desserts
and cakes.
"MyEy products are easy to use, have a better shelf
life than eggs and taste authentic."
One box of VollEy replaces 24 eggs! Simply mix with
water and use such as a normal egg.
Uses include sauces, custards, cakes, breads and
more.
This miracle product will be presented at the
BIOFACH organic show in Nuremberg, Germany next
month. It scoops attempts by UK company Beyond Eggs

BIOFACH and VIVANESS, international trade fairs have
developed into a highlight for the bio and health sector
with more than 2,235 exhibitors from 76 countries and
42,445 trade visitors from 135 countries last year.
A MyEy VollEy person continued: "MyEy VollEy is a
valuable alternative to eggs of animal origin for baking,
frying and cooking. It is based on a mixture of
vegetable proteins, starch, spices and minerals. The
egg substitute MyEy cannot only be whipped but is also
vegan- and bio-certified (75.6% bio).
MyEy VollEy contains no animal fats, no sugar
supplement and is free of GMOs, cholesterol, gluten
and soy. It is perfectly suitable for culinary use not
only in vegan and vegetarian cuisine. MyEy is unique
and has already won several awards.

NEWS IN BRIEF
Complete idiot
UK PRIME minister David Cameron has slammed
a TV analyst who claimed there were areas of
Birmingham where non-Muslims just simply
dont go.
The claim, from Steven Emerson a security
analyst on Fox News the tabloid-style US
television network owned by Rupert Murdoch,
came during a discussion of multiculturalism in
Europe in the wake of the attack on the offices
of Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris.
On hearing of the comments Cameron called
Emerson a complete idiot according to reports
on internet provider Yahoos news feed.
Over the course of this last week, we have
made some regrettable errors on air regarding
the Muslim population in Europe, anchor Julie
Banderas squirmed later.

Not-so-virtuous veg pot

A LOW-PRICE diet-friendly ready meal has been
pulled because it contained "small fragments of
colored plastic".
The Virtuous Veg Pot from Cook Trading costs
just 3.20 per frozen pack and boasts "only 320
cals per portion".
A statement from government watchdog the
Foods Standards Agency says: "Cook Trading
has recalled some of its own-brand frozen
ready meals because the company has found
that an ingredient used in these meals may
contain small fragments of coloured plastic."
The recall affects products with a best before
date of 30th August, 2015.
Items should be returned to the point of
purchase for a full refund.

On September 20,
1918, while hearing
confessions, Padre Pio
had his first occurrence
of the stigmata: bodily
marks, pain, and
bleeding in locations
corresponding to the
crucifixion wounds of
Jesus Christ. This
phenomenon continued
for fifty years, until the
end of his life. Shot in
English, filmed on
location in Italy, and

distributed worldwide,
the film will highlight
Padre Pios impact on

Cardinal Burke
lives up to his
name

Gratin Potimarron
Kale

AN AMERICAN cardinal
lived up to his name
recently when he blamed
radical feminism for
child abuse amongst the
clergy.
Speaking to The New
Emangelization, cardinal
Raymond Burke said: There
was a period when men who
were feminized and confused
about their own sexual
identity had entered the
priesthood, sadly some of
these disordered men
sexually abused minors; a
terrible tragedy for which the
church mourns.
And he went on to tell the
self-styled male-focussed
quasi-religious i-mag that the
introduction of girl altar
servers had led to
the shortage of priests.
He told interviewer,
Matthew: Young boys dont
want to do things with girls.
Its just natural.
I think that this has
contributed to a loss of
priestly vocations.
It requires a certain manly
discipline to serve as an altar
boy in service at the side of a
priest, and most priests have
their first deep experiences
of the liturgy as altar boys.
If we are not training
young men as altar boys,
giving them an experience
of serving God in the liturgy,
we should not be surprised
that vocations have
fallen dramatically.

Cardinal Raymond Burke

But a leading Catholic

theologian has hit back at the
cardinals weird remarks.
Dr Gemma Simmonds, a
sister of the congregation of
Jesus, and a lecturer in
theology at Heythrop
College, told the
Independent Catholic News:
I find the cardinal's views
extraordinary and distressing.
That there is a crisis in
the priesthood and indeed in
married life is beyond
question, but to
attribute this crisis and the
sexual abuse of children by
priests to feminism is
simply bizarre.
It can only bring the
church into disrepute for
senior figures to air
such outlandish and illinformed views about the
nature of paedophilia, which
is a complex matter in no
way resolved by ignorant and
indiscriminate scapegoating.
I can only hope that the
sheer weirdness of these
opinions renders them
ridiculous to those who read
them.

ENDSLEIGH CENTRE TO CLOSE

A CATHOLIC retreat centre is
closing because not enough
people are coming.
The Endsleigh Centre in Hull
will close in the spring. The
centre is part of the Institute
of Our Lady of Mercy which

said: "Unfortunately, despite

repeated and sustained
efforts to encourage more
individuals to visit the centre,
the numbers attending
retreats have been declining
for some time."

Dear Steve,
THANKS for the recent FG - I
thought the design was superb!
Thanks too for sending it as a
PDF - I much prefer that to
downloading it from scribd or
whatever!
I wonder though if you will be
able to keep emailing us like
this as your circulation
increases?
There might come a time
when I'd expect your ISP to
wonder about all the emails!
I wonder if posting the articles
in draft on a blog as you
receive them and then emailing
us when you're ready to show
and publish them would work?
I loved the French news.

Dear Alex,
THANKS for the tip re the ISP.
As you can see from our email
address we use Gmail.
I have checked their Ts&Cs
and it seems we are within our
limits - but, who knows, one
day we will break the 10,000a-day barrier!
With regard to blogging this is
a great idea. It's great for

Problem is cyberspace is
awash with a load of streamof-consciousness claptrap.
We just don't want to be part

Dear Stephen
THANKS so much for the
excellent compilation once
again. I liked all the support
you give to vegan/vegetarian

The only disappointment was
''A politician, a guru and a
government in trouble'' (Nov
FG) and it's tone! You appear
to express views on the most
complex and largest
democratic country in the
world.
What justifies inclusion of the
words ''. . . a government in
trouble''.
Yet include the line "BJP
leadership will never sever ties
with its oldest ally".
The RSS and Akali Dal are
equally right wing in their
views.
It reminded me of a saying
Fools rush in where angels
fear to tread.

FRIENDLY
COMMENT
FREEDOM of the press is like pregnancy.
You can't have just a little bit of it.
You've either got free speech or you
haven't.
That's why Charlie Hebdo journalists just
couldn't leave one organisation out of their
satirical hit list and keep their integrity.
It was all or nothing.
There could be no exceptions.
If the pope and Jesus are fair game so too
must be the prophet and the mullahs and any
other body, temporal or spiritual, which sets
itself up as an example of moral and/or
ethical standards.
In a free, open and democratic society it
can be no other way, whatever the price!
Was the bravery of the CH journos worth it?
Will the zeitgeist change after this months
outrageous and cowardly attacks?
We shall have to wait and see.
One thing's for sure. On est tous Charlie
maintenant, toujours.

Lost before it began

GETTING plans through the political minefield
that is local government is difficult.
But to tie one hand behind your back before
you start is verging on the crazy.
So why RSSB Australia spent thousands of
dollars on a plan that was lost before it began
remains a mystery.
If they try again they'll need to take advice
from their own grass roots (see front page
story).
Always a good place to start!

Brave move
SO VEGFEST is going political. A brave move
in apathetic Britain, where politics produces
big yawns.
As they say if you dont vote - dont
complain.
Unfortunately we Brits do just that!
Lets hope Tims move will lead the way in
upscaling the political agenda among the
vegetarian and vegan literati and hold those
wily politicians to account.
Now thats definitely a move we would
back wholeheartedly!
Heather Stewart winner of the 10
prize on offer at our stall at the recent
VegFestUK show in London was
unavailable for comment as FG went to
press. Look out for our stand at the
VegFestUK Brighton in March where
threll be another chance to scoop a
cash prize!
