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.

Richard Branson's went bust, pretty sure the other one in Cornwall also went bust, I think the one in the Scottish Isles is still going but is also gonna go bust, it's all very dotcommy.

Fairly sure the one in Cornwall is just Newquay Airport, it has a stupidly long runway (ex RAF St Mawgan) so Bransons "2 747s gaffer taped together with an underslung rocket" totally credible launch system could take off from there
 
Virgin Galactic was meant to be housed at [redacted] in 2014, with the MOD selling [Redacted] to Branson. The deal fell through when [Redacted] was supposed to be the new site for the [Redacted] Aircraft, but BAE refused to move from [Redacted].

This is my new favourite SCP.
 
Branson is just a snake oil salesman. Suborbital flight like virgin galactic or Jeff Bezos flying fanny hammer is just a waste of resources, and virgin orbit was a miserable failure that quickly went tits up when it became clear they weren't very good at the whole "putting customer payloads into orbit" thing.

It's probably more normal than you give it credit for. And sure, I feel like society has fucked up by letting things devolve to this point. But it's the reality of the situation.

Like a couple days ago, some chick in a bar asked me what my kinks are. Idk maybe she was trying to pick me up? Either way, I'm not a particularly weird person so I made something up and gave her an answer. I asked her the same question and she said choking.

Sure, anecdotes are not data and a single answer doesn't mean shit. But still, it was pretty surprising for me and I suspect it's a lot more common than people think.

I bet the feminizing effects of modern society has left straight women with an unsated thirst for some kind, any kind, of masculine aggression. Obviously they don't want to get beat the fuck up, and sure, equal pay is nice. But a little controlled edginess is part of masculinity and straight women are thirsting for it.
 
Let's not forget the fact they are also given a choice between a Samsung or an iPhone when they get here. The illegals, I mean.

Of course they come here. They're laughing all the way to the fucking bookies aren't they?

Total boat people death. And total MPs and middle class leftie cunt death.

The happening due over the summer can't come quick enough.

Amen to that.

Would not bet against it either.
 
This story has been ongoing for quite some time; in typical neoliberal-formented Fifth World fashion — it keeps on giving and giving and giving:

Mosquera, a 35-year-old Colombian national, was convicted Tuesday of murdering Paul Longworth, 71, and his partner, Albert Alfonso, 62, in their west London apartment in July last year.

Unhealthy lifestyles have their hazards.

He was convicted largely based on a chilling video captured on a camera set up to record a sex session — but that instead caught him killing the couple and then joyfully singing and dancing while naked and still covered in blood.

Britfags, consider yourselves enriched.

“Do you like it?” Mosquera taunts Alfonso at one point as he stabs him, hours after he had already battered Longworth to death with a hammer and hidden his body under bed covers.

Mosquera — a porn star who was staying with the couple — then decapitated and dismembered the men, stuffing their heads in a freezer as he also tried to access their bank details on their computer.

You can imagine the likely spin at the BBC. If only the government were more generous with its welfare payments to foreign colonists, porno actors would not be forced to commit such acts to feed their families. Or maybe they will present it as evidence that sacred faggots are victimized by homophobes.

Channel 5’s take:

I'll give it another three weeks for a major happening to occur, after that the footy will be back on and all the Bazzas who've been protesting outside hotels will go back to sitting in the pub watching Ngubu score some fackin' goals

Am willing to stretch it out until early September.

Rumsfeld got mocked over his 'unknown unknowns', yet I think one (or more) is coming over the recess.

I hope I'm wrong, but I can't shake off the feeling that we are close to what could be a Black Swan incident or incidents which will shock the nation and may even lead to a mass swing of public opinion against the current Government which they will not be able to counter.
 
If the football being on is enough to stop the revolution then no revolution is coming. To make things change in this country it's going to take a sustained campaign of zero tolerance for foreigners. Every hotel they try to move them to has to be hounded night and day if not set on fire. Every where they ship them should be announced on every possible platform for the widest possible audience. The natives need to run a constant intimidation campaign the government can't stop or it won't be enough. Make it so it's so much trouble to house the invaders they refuse to house them or make it so they fear if they support the invaders they or their families will be held accountable.

Nothing less will work. The invaders have to fear leaving the hotels and the politicians have to fear moving them to another one. Ireland had the right response.
 
Honestly if push comes to shove, I think Baz and co would let football be cancelled. The protests over the Super League were so drastic that it spooked every team into reverting within a day out of fear of what would come next. It showed that deep down, no matter how many billions any football club is worth, local fans can still cause enough damage and I genuinely think that the league could have been postponed with enough anger.

Every year that passes football feels like it's getting further and further from the working classes. In an ideal world they'd host matches in empty stadiums with a VR audience so it can be successfully packaged to China or India. You could even change the slogans based on demographic and have chinks in the audience when broadcasting to China or Pakis in the audience when broadcasting to Leicester. Modern football actively hates its own fans so much that they'll likely use the Liverpool parade attack as an excuse to stop title celebrations.

If we caused riots that shut down football for a year then it's not our problem, sure Chelsea or City or Liverpool would have financial problems and some teams would go bust, but another club would just pop up as a phoenix club and things would continue again. Wimbledon came back from the ashes and they're a team with a fraction of the support of a random PL club. While tons of fans are "X 'til I die" if the choice is football in 25-26 or Abdul getting sent home then we'll have to start brushing up on our German ready to watch the Bundesliga.
 
Remember back in ye olde days. Back before this scam we are told is 'democracy'. Back when treasonous autocrats would be shoved in a metal cage and hung from the steeple of the local church until they rotted to death from the inside out, when they would be crucified and burnt alive? What's that saying about history repeating itself again?

Looking forward to a lifetime of f5ing through tor exit nodes to avoid cloudflare's bullshit. Especially with tor being annoying and not letting me have two instances open at the same time. That's fun. Culture, already being raped, heritage, already being raped, wives, already being raped, now your privacy, your hobbies, your interests, your ability to use the internet, your fucking ability to talk. Glad we beat those facsists in germany huh? I wonder if there's a word for a government that will prosecute people for differing opinions regardless of how normal or objectively factual they are, a word for a government that takes away your ability to defend yourself or to protest, where the state controls all the media you can view, where it designates certain things as degenerative for personal reasons, one that is racist against certain groups of citizens because they were born in the north or white, where they will give out extreme sentences in kangaroo courts while letting people convicted of owning and distributing child pornography walk without any jail time and a government that views itself as superior to the rest of the world and would say do something as retarded as saying the entirety of the internet is under their jurisdiction. Wonder if there's a word for that. Yea, the word fascist has been overused to the point of being meaningless online, but is there any better word to describe our government?

It's not a single word, but how about 'not fit for purpose'.

'not fit for purpose' is what you call a shitty old car that can't drive up an incline of more than 10 degrees, not a car with a landmine for a seat. 'unfit to rule' is people like truss and boris, people that are inept and shit at their job, that's what it means to me. Not people who actively seek to destroy the country.

Those people are Traitors and the so-called head of State is chief among them. That bloated, cancer-ridden, sausage fingered cunt has been meddling and poking about, writing his little letters and being a Muslim for years. And now he's ascended to the throne he's deep throating Muslim cock and has defied his late mother's express wishes that his mistress be only his Queen Consort.

The country is a binfire. The king was recorded telling his mistress he wished he was a tampon so she could stuff him inside her. The body rots from the head down. The sooner he's gone the better. At least we won't have a Muslim fellating arsehole in charge.
