Yay! 🙌

Brian May resigned from the RSPCA — the organisation literally created to prevent cruelty to animals — because it wasn't preventing enough cruelty to animals. His Instagram post triggered celebrity open letters from Ricky Gervais and Joanna Lumley, a 60-organisation petition, an internal investigation — and the RSPCA's own Chief Executive stepped down. Never underestimate a rock guitarist with a cause.

Brian May had been Vice President of the RSPCA since 2012.

Twelve years. Fundraising. Campaigning. Lending his name and his platform to one of the oldest animal welfare organisations in the world.

Then in September 2024 — he found out what was happening on some of the farms carrying the RSPCA Assured label.

Investigations had found overcrowding, poor hygiene and physical abuse of livestock by farm workers — on over 40 farms certified under the RSPCA Assured scheme. Supermarkets including Aldi, Lidl, Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury's and Tesco were all signed up to the scheme.

Brian May waited. Gave the organisation time to respond properly.

He watched. And felt their response was completely inadequate.

On September 26th, 2024 — he posted his resignation letter on Instagram.

"It is with profound sadness and not without massive soul-searching that today I have to offer my resignation as a vice-president of the RSPCA. Good folks out there are still paying extra for animal produce with the RSPCA sticker on it — thinking they are protecting farm animals from cruelty. In the end there was no other option for me."

Then the chain reaction began.

The very next day — Bryan Adams, Moby, Ricky Gervais, Peter Egan, Joanna Lumley, Miriam Margolyes and Jerome Flynn all signed an open letter urging the RSPCA to drop the scheme. Over 60 animal protection organisations signed alongside them.

The RSPCA launched an internal review. Its Chief Executive announced he was stepping down by the end of the year.

Brian May had given twelve years of service to the RSPCA — helping keep it afloat during particularly difficult times for British charities.

He resigned from the animal protection society — for insufficient animal protection.

Nobody in British public life has ever done anything more Brian May than this.

Aldi haul! 😍 Organic tofu for 95p! It’s been a while since I’ve been to Aldi but I was super impressed! This was all I could carry but I’ll definitely be back - especially for the basics like plant milk and cheese for Poppy’s toasties 👌

We had the vegan fish with boiled potatoes, salad and homemade silken tofu salad cream… the fillers took just 10 mins in the air fryer and were a hit!

W E E K E N D T R E A T S… but healthier 😉 I added a scoop of protein powder and a whole banana to make this FILLING + delicious 😋

I made a scrumptious peanut butter drizzle with honnee and a tablespoon of high protein powdered peanut butter which has the fat removed (meaning I could add some extra pistachios with zero guilt, just gains 💪) then dusted with some keto sugar free icing sugar 👌

To make the waffles you’ll need a waffle maker, 2 very ripe mashed bananas, a cup of gf self raising flour, 1/4 cup protein powder (I used pea), some sweetener (I used sugar free vanilla coffee syrup!) and enough milk to combine and make a scoopable batter - around 1/2 cup.. I used oat milk but any plant milk will work.

Dollop in the middle of your waffle maker (spray with a little frylight if needed) then cook until your machine flashes green or the steam stops..

What are your favourite toppings? I just created a brand new free community on skool so we can all share our fave vegan finds, recipes and all those photos we take of everything we’ve eaten 😂
