167- Becoming a hero is easier than you think...

Turns out, all you need to do is smash up a vegan's megaphone in ASDA. Whilst that may have been the viral news of the week, we've found out a less-reported nugget of information that rather changes things....oh the anticipation! Mark, Paul & Ant looks at this and several more news stories from the last seven days or so, all of which have a vegan or animal rights slant.
