@SteffiRox @bankofengland How sick, unnecessary & prehistoric. WHY must EVERYTHING in this world contain part of a slaughtered animal ffs?!

I will no longer be accepting these notes. Ironic I donated my #FirstFiver to a #Vegan sanctuary
@bankofengland @SteffiRox Gives a whole new meaning to the term "blood money" Horrified to discover this - absolutely appalling! ?

My advice for vegans worried about the new five pound note.... try not to eat them & u should be ok ?#vegan #veganism #fiver #fivepoundnote

Imagine vegan's being like "Sorry, can I have my change in coins. I cannot accept this £5 note"
