Funny how a giant 70-year old turkey plant going bust doesn't generate the same headlines as when a few vegan products are discontinued?

Anyway, Bernard Matthews' iconic Norfolk turkey 'factory' is no more. But it's the vegan bubble that's burst. Right guys?!

Julie, Kate & Ant whizz through around a dozen vegan & animal rights headlines. Tune in for tomorrow's episode (part 2 of the news!) to hear 4 stories covered in a whole lot more detail.
