https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

A heated row has broken out over a move by Britain's largest bakery chain to launch a vegan sausage roll.

The pastry, which is filled with a meat substitute and encased in 96 pastry layers, is available in 950 Greggs stores across the country.

It was promised after 20,000 people signed a petition calling for the snack to be launched to accommodate plant-based diet eaters.


But the vegan sausage roll's launch has been greeted by a mixed reaction: Some consumers welcomed it, while others voiced their objections.

Cook and food poverty campaigner Jack Monroe declared she was "frantically googling to see what time my nearest opens tomorrow morning because I will be outside".

While TV writer Brydie Lee-Kennedy called herself "very pro the Greggs vegan sausage roll because anything that wrenches veganism back from the 'clean eating' wellness folk is a good thing".

One Twitter user wrote that finding vegan sausage rolls missing from a store in Corby had "ruined my morning".

Another said: "My son is allergic to dairy products which means I can't really go to Greggs when he's with me. Now I can. Thank you vegans."

TV presenter Piers Morgan led the charge of those outraged by the new roll.

"Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns," he wrote on Twitter.

Mr Morgan later complained at receiving "howling abuse from vegans", adding: "I get it, you're all hangry. I would be too if I only ate plants and gruel."

Another Twitter user said: "I really struggle to believe that 20,000 vegans are that desperate to eat in a Greggs."

"You don't paint a mustach (sic) on the Mona Lisa and you don't mess with the perfect sausage roll," one quipped.

Journalist Nooruddean Choudry suggested Greggs introduce a halal steak bake to "crank the fume levels right up to 11".

The bakery chain told concerned customers that "change is good" and that there would "always be a classic sausage roll".

It comes on the same day McDonald's launched its first vegetarian "Happy Meal", designed for children.

The new dish comes with a "veggie wrap", instead of the usual chicken or beef option.

It should be noted that Piers Morgan and Greggs share the same PR firm, so I'm thinking this is some serious faux outrage and South Park KKK gambiting here.

Rotherham, not Rochdale was home of the grooming gangs. Rochdale just happens to be another place full of pakis that rape kids.

Interestingly, Barclays, the bank, has had their offices smashed in and vandalised in most major cities; Manchester, Liverpool, London, Leeds etc. All done by palestinian protesters. Any stories on that? No? Hmm, strange.
There was a single grooming network that spanned every major city and most towns. They were drugging girls and sending them around the country so any location you can name with paki taxi drivers was part of the grooming network. Rotherham was the one the media forced on but it was described as an industrial scale grooming network.

Is.
Because it's still going on. The rape gang network still exists; and everytime I think about it, it's like a splinter in the black recess of my brain that refuses to go away. Makes me itch.

My mistake. I meant is. It's how many of those weird paki shops that never sell anything or have any one in stay open. They're used as hubs for trafficking illegal substances and the back of a lorry will pull up with a few TVs and toasters in it with drugs in the same boxes. No one is going to get their phones repaired there, no one is buying the TVs but they're all over the place.
 
I was being sympathetic, britard.
Take it easy on him. It has been one hell of a week for us and tempers are extremely frayed so misunderstandings are going to be inevitable. It's the sheer speed of how things have escalated that has got most Bongers here worked up (including me).

Someone here already posted the document detailing mass immigration as a solution to low birth rates from the UN. At this point we're more than aware that we aren't the prime demographic those in power wish to serve.

Gonna bold this so it catches fellow Bongers' attention:

I'd recommend if you're worked up or justifiably pissed off by today's shitshow to go and get a drink, something to eat, distract yourself with your hobbies and/or spend time with those you love be they your family or your pets. Remember: Labour hates happy white people, so give Keir a big middle finger and take care of yourselves!
 
Godspeed to all the hobgoblin kiwis. Preemptively restricting citizens movements to prevent crime sure sounds like a morally righteous government.

It's been said thousands of times but nobody wants to fucking live in the middle east. It's why millions of them flee each year. So when they start making your home into the middle east 2.0, any anger is justified. When innocents start dying because of it, then so are any actions.

I’m constantly trying not to fedpost. I keep saying it but all of this feels different to anything that went before.

The government are going to actively show their hand and reveal to even the blindest of people that they fucking hate us.

They’re going to put a boot on our throat, tax us until we can hardly live, and import half of the third world, and people will cheer it on.

I keep trying to put a positive spin on things but deep down i know things are going to have to get really crazy before sanity can be restored.

No one at work work has mentioned any of this. They are all bourgeois lefties and they must be blotting it all out right now.

I just want to shitpost on my favourite troon hating website, bros. I‘m just feeling really tired and worried for the future.

Not terrible advice. I'm not angry with the American, they're often retarded and always will be. I'm more annoyed that there are people still willing to push the lefts bullshit and deny reality in the face of the right's predictions coming 100% true. I've seen this coming for almost my entire life and yet we're still seeing the same promotion of these things and none of the people promoting it wanting to take responsibility for the narratives they push.

Speaking of which..

You literally argued not long ago how the foreigners can totally integrate and it's wrong to be racist. What happened to that attitude? Did it all go out the window when they started stabbing children or do you want to see more dead children before you finally admit you're 100% wrong and you need to seriously reflect on how you see the world and what's happening here. This guy is 100% exactly what you said wasn't happening and wasn't a problem. A foreigner put into a village who then goes postal on little girls because it's his culture to genocide people.

You’re right, I was an asshole, my bad G.

When I see something like this, which is constantly in community happenings more and more frequently, I can’t help but share a fraction of your guys’ anger and disgust. Tragedy’s like this are exactly what all governments are made to protect citizens from but then there is your government just sitting there mocking it.

Thats enough to get anyone, regardless of country, fucking livid.
 
That. Both of those are possible. People have been deported en masse before, creating a real hostile environment, and a real pathway for them to leave is the only way out of this. Literally any other goal is pointless. These people cannot stay here, or we cannot stay here. They have some other place to be; and we don't. So it's actually very simple.
This is a great point, well put.

I swear faggots watching too many movies think the rest of the world is some constant wild west. Like it isn't possible for the billions of other people to live outside of a welfare state.

You keep trying get me to slap fight with you and it’s not going to happen.

Foreigners can integrate, not when there’s massive ghettos and practically a state within a state.

It is wrong to be mindlessly racist and your blood and soil LARP is tiresome.

I’m not going to reply to you any further.

Have a good evening.

Mocking it would be one thing. Might even be a bit british to laugh at something so bleak. They actively encourage it and defend the people doing it which is so much worse.

Creating a hostile environment is quite difficult in the UK as it stands. The numbers are so large and so entrenched you can't use traditional intimidation tactics like bricks through windows and beating them up until they move away. There's too many of them and it will turn into tribal warfare like where they come from. The military has to be on your side and willing to force deport people.

I want you to actually look in the mirror and see what bullshit you're saying because it's so fucking wrong and you can't even reflect on it when little girls are dying because of views you hold and promote.

He was from a village of 4,000 people. He wasn't in a massive ghetto or a state within a state. He was part of the Welsh martial arts scene. He proves you completely wrong and you can't even admit you're wrong and question it. Which is the least you could do when you're crying how scared and bad things are.
 
I remember the good old days when mentally ill people just killed themselves and not kids or a bunch of University students.

Bad color grading, probably didn't even color correct from the beginning, he used the built in white balance, which is something you should never do for serious production. Also he is in shadow, so the color saturation is even more noticable. Or maybe he just got that English breakfast high blood pressure meme going on, he's still a bong after all.

That's what I was thinking. Why do British people have that? They always look like that photo of Sam Hyde

The Islamic vote in Rochdale was enough to get populist-commie grifter George Galloway elected as an MP in the last by-election. I think that shows how many of them live there. I haven't been there myself however, so I can't attest to this with my own experience.

I was delighted when that man lost his seat in the July GE. He's genuine scum.
