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.

One off my favorite cUK Jew Tubers analyzed over 300 ads done by British companies and yes, the results were exactly what you'd expect

Still a fun if infuriating watch

The only ads I’ve watched recently were when I went to the cinema the other week, and I was really shocked at how gay everything was. You’d think the entire world was tiny, suspiciously moustachioed pooners, blue haired weirdos, gay men and mixed race families.
Anyway that experience makes me even more determined to keep the children away from terrestrial tv .

I’m with family and watching actual normal telly for the first time in ages. Seems less gay as usual. Still too many blacks. My mum described a cousin’s girlfriend as “looking like a tranny”, so nature is starting to heal.
 
Just got in from an afternoon of pissing it up in Norftown. My takeaway is that people are really, really unhappy with the importation of foreigns, and very willing to vote reform.

My position is that reform are controlled opposition and we need to be conducting mass deportations at bayonet point, but baby steps.

also Tiktok, YouTube, Facebook, etc etc etc.

They want our kids brainwashed and with a 7 second attention span.

I saw an advert for a food delivery company (just eat?) with a fat black woman and a homosexual octopus eating takeaway.

Burn it to the ground.
 
If I go to the cinema if at all anymore honestly I always turn up 20 minutes late to avoid that crap. I am thankful that I never watched TV, so I can escape the pressured interracial hellscape advertisers wish to impose upon us.

Went to see the father, and he proceeded to say one of the recent dramas was my grandma's rage about our sister courting a halfie. To quote him, she called him "polluted blood." I forget how much I love racism in old people, it reminds me of when /pol was good.

My granddad used to talk about "wog music" and talked about people "swinging in from africa". R.I.P.

I particularly loathe the accents and slovenly way of speaking that's been introduced, referred to as Jafaican. You rarely hear the educated RP English accent at all in adverts or on television now, but you only need to go back to the programming of the 80s and 90s to hear how much more eloquent and and articulate presenting and advertising used to be. Stacey Dooley for example is someone I cannot stand to listen to.

Not just the presenting. The typical crowd visible in a 90s TV show is almost entirely English. Watching an old episode of the Antiques Roadshow on youtube was like peering into another country - one I used to live in, but can't get back to.
 
The cockney black accent of "owoyt, brav, yi, watcha doin, brav?" Is ear cancer. I would unironically deport everyone with that accent.
 
Say what you want about the uncultured implications of my Northumbrian babble but at least it sounds nice in the telecoms adverts and the like; cannot say the same for wogspeak, utterly repugnant in every way.

I wanna to crack Hadiya's head in, linguistically speaking not in Minecraft.
 
John Oliver might be one of the most pretentious assholes ever inflicted upon the United States by you bloody British. Please take him back.

Thats great to watch, really puts into perspective "exterminate every fucking journo on Earth". A complete waste of time to even engage in this people, they talk like fucking twitter soundbites, just little tidbits, then sit back and smile as people react. Its like a fucking game show.

This country is so fucking gay.

Amazing. It goes to show you just how much Starmer is out of touch with the common man. Most cocoa shunters in parliament would go to Hampstead Heath, whereas Starmer would rather get turned inside out in an 18 million pound penthouse. Its two-tier bumming.

Ali propping up Kier's beard with the odd dress and handbag is just as hilarious.

Can't blame him for leaving Homoland.
