Just when you thought liberals couldn’t get any more sensitive, now they are refusing to touch money because it offends them!
The Bank of England’s new plastic 5-pound note is stronger, cleaner and safer — but apparently not acceptable for vegetarians.
Vegans and vegetarians are calling for the new bank notes, which have only been in circulation for two months, to be replaced because they are made with a minuscule amount of a substance derived from animal fat.
The Bank of England confirmed on Twitter that the notes contain “a trace of a substance known as tallow” — a rendered form of animal fat, processed from suet, which is sometimes used in soaps and candles.
Independent reported, “Innovia, the company that makes the banknotes said it obtained the animal fat through a supplier, which it declined to name. The company said it used the substance to give the notes their anti-static and anti-slip properties, and pointed out that thousands of products contain tallow. It could not confirm which animals the fat had come from.”
An online petition against the notes has been getting attention Wednesday. The petition says the use of tallow is “unacceptable to millions of vegans, vegetarians, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and others in the U.K.”
The petition has gathered over 100,000 signatures to stop the circulation of the note. But just how many cows are these liberals saving by boycotting the note?
Vice did the math, and came up with the conclusion that each 5 pound note contains roughly 0.00007 g of tallow. Multiplying that by the total number of 5 pound notes in circulation, 329 million, you get 23 kg of tallow used in total to make the bills. Considering that the average cow contains 40 kg of tallow worthy fat, this uproar is all over about half of one cow!
You think these liberals would find a better use of their time.
The Bank of Canada says their bank notes also have tallow, according to a CBC report.
So get ready for the ridiculous uproar in Canada next, where liberals will be chanting, “Save half of that cow!”

If the money is already printed, let them do without or use it. PC BS has to stop now.
Too right.
Replace it with PIG FAT. It’s a sin to Muslims, and kills their SOUL, or something like that, if they have digest it, or are shot with It on a bullet, or a knife when they are hit with anything containing it… bad karma for them…lol we should make em all eat medium rare pig meat… they are very afraid of that…
I told you liberals were nut jobs
They aren’t offended that their money has a Lucifer worshiping child sacrificing demon on their money?
PC Veggies might have a point.These notes are universally unpopular although the minuscule quantity of tallow contained has nothing to do with that.They are very slippery,crease badly,which makes them difficult to return to a shopkeepers till,and are allegedly prone to melt if exposed to a heat source like a radiator
Here here, I second that emotion.
The liberals don’t really care about cows. In California, they are trying to find a way to stop cows from farting and pooping because they believe that it emits too much methane gas and that is not good for global warming. There is something wrong with liberals. They are getting beyond crazy.
They should put a collection system on the cows and use the methane as renewable energy..
Why not ask the fat protesters to give up some grease from their fat bellies.
Maybe the Muslims will move.
David Pease-
Maybe the Muslims will move.
If that would be all it takes, every nation on earth(esp. in the West) should insist that all banknotes be made with a large percentage of swine fat.
We could call ’em “Bacon Bux,” and drive these insane nutbars back to their mud huts, using their left hands to wipe their behinds with again…or at the very least, right the hell out of America. After all, most of us LOVE bacon.
That was funny, thank you. I feel like you do, if you don’t like this nation there is no one forcing you to stay here, as a matter of fact people are lining up just to get here, now if we could only figure out who are the ones that want to be a part of America and who are the ones that want to change America. I would be more than willing to send a liberal out to get someone who wants to be here and respect America and our Constitution.
Replace the tallow with lard. Next mayor of London may not be Muslim
Lard? Best idea yet.
As most of them are europhiles, let them move to the continent. Then they can Euro’s. Problem solved. Then, use pig’s lard for any future bank notes. Then the muslims have an incentive to leave also. Another problem solved. It looks that money has the ability to make you happy in some cases at least!
I wonder if these same people get upset over the abortion of babies. It seems to me that anyone who considers life to be sacred would be mad about the number of baby humans that are slaughtered for profit each year.
I can’t speak for England, but most of my money usage comes in the form of checks or credit cards.
Other then mooslum she who slaughters babies!!?? I know we don’t in the United States!!
Maybe these people should be paid with sheep and cattle. They could get a visa and pay it off with a heard of sheep month, that should fit right in with their life style.
They would be screwing our sheep, constantly, maybe that is why their women where vail’s so the men can’t tell the difference.
Wait until the GOP converts Medicare to a voucher program. We’ll seem some of your red faces on theses posts.

If it’s tallow backed instead of gold backed, it’s still worthless!
Congratulations to Britain, they have found a way to stop liberals from getting their hands on other peoples money.
Perhaps it’s a furious Soros -seeing his NWO empire dream beginning to crumple with Brexit destroying the EU part- rather than again trying to break the Bank of England is instead denigrating its money supply.
How ’bout BACON-FLAVORED currency ?!? 🙂
So, these liberals don’t use soap (which is made with fallow) when washing themselves? Is this why they all stink?
They couldn’t (read “wouldn’t “) disclose what type of animal the tallow comes from. Wonder what the Muslims are going to do? They don’t know if it is pork. What do they do now that they have obviously handled the new money? Cut off hands?
Anyone who has these notes and does not want them…I will take them and reimburse you for the postage cost. Here is the address…P.O. Box 3551, Wenatchee WA 98801. My real name is the one for this post. Thanks in advance for your notes.

So don’t go to England! Problem solved! Anything else I can help you with! Would you like a glass of milk and a cookie or some crayons?
This article just explained why liberal hippies smell so bad: soap is made from animal fat! LOL
If it is the muslims complaining, why not replace the cow fat with pig fat.
SUICIDE IS PC! PASS IT ON! lol!
I hope this tallow comes from HOGS!!!
I’d be happy to sign the petition under the name of Adolf Hitler, who was one of the most illustrous vegie.
If they would use the bills to pay for their vegetables instead of eating them they would not have the problem.
Anybody don`t want their money have permission to send it to me.
I like Will,,seems right on with the pig fat thing. That would put a crimp in the muslims spending habits.
Ill bet you if you give them the money for free they will take it very fast and keep their mouth shot
Semper Fi! General Mad Dog is the man for the job! Look out, Libs! Especially those who want Ellison for DNC chair! Thank God and sane Americans for Prez elect Trump! America will be great again!
In many countries worldwide, their original source of drinking water from wherever it may arise may have fishes, frogs, reptiles, worms, not to exclude dead animal carcasses etc, etc …..so that water has been TAINTED with an animal FLESH, PEE AND POOPS……..are these vegans and vegetarians going to stop drinking water????????????????????????????????????? after reading this…..
SADISTIC FELLAS…………….
You can stop killing an animal for whatever reasons, can you stop the animals from killing each other for their survival???
wake up guys……survival of the fittest….and struggle to exist… i didn’t say that , some brilliant man said it once upon a time…guess who?
HaHaHaHaHaHaHa……… Liberals are such ignorant morons. Easy fix for those left wing nut jobs, don’t use the money, simple isn’t it.
This is a typical fake news site. Liberals and vegetarians are not the same people, for one thing. For another, take the “poll” where the site has 2 options, “She should be in jail” or “It’s OK to lie to the American people.” This is not objective, realistic data collection whose results should be believed.
Let’s look for a moment at this site’s calling her “Crooked Hillary,” and what makes someone “crooked.” You may criticize her money raising methods, but Hillary herself did not gain a dime from her charity, and none of the data from her email system was ever shown to have fallen into inappropriate hands. She was not responsible for what happened in Benghazi, and was fully engaged in the government response. The FBI has refused to press charges against her, and she has never been charged with a crime.
Mr. Trump, on the other hand, has been found guilty of housing discrimination, has had to settle for $24 million on a case of fraud, has used bankruptcy 6 times to avoid paying his debts, and has avoided paying income tax for 18 years. He believes it is OK for a foreign power to influence an American election only because he won it. The list is actually much, much longer.
So who is really “crooked?”
I’m an animal lover but these left wing liberals are just batshit crazy to be making a big deal out of a miniscule amount of tallow. By the way tallow is used to make soap. And I’ve noticed that a lot of these left wing loonies here in the states who have been crying and going berserk over Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump look like they haven’t taken a bath in quite a while. Up until now I didn’t realize that the reason for the way they look is because they can’t stand that ‘horrible’ feel on their skin of Dial soap….LOL
If any of these whackos don’t want their cash; send it to me. I’ll put it to good use.
