This week, The Vegan Society reported that NHS Prevent training (a programme designed to spot radicalisation of vulnerable individuals) has removed vegans as an example of those who may be liable to 'radicalise' others. Is this a step forward? Or do we quite like being radical?! Dominic, Julie & Ant discuss this, as well as 9 others stories from the week's animal rights & vegan space.
