So this bloke is suing his former employers for unfair dismissal under the Equality Act - suggesting that he was sacked for his beliefs, specifically that he is a vegan. Usually such cases are brought where someone has been discriminated against on the basis of their religion, so it raises the question whether veganism is a religion, a political perspective, a lifestyle choice or all the above.
Ironically, the former employers in question are the League Against Cruel Sports although to be fair their raison d'etre is to prevent e.g. fox hunting and hare coursing - but there is an obvious link.
Personally I think he's got a case, but for different reasons i.e. he was sacked for telling the truth about the organisation's investments to his work colleagues which isn't a sackable offence.
