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.

There's nothing badass about killing yourself to avoid two years of jailtime for writing 100k worth of bad checks.

If anything, he's a coward who's too much of a pussy to face the consequences.

I guess someone likes to fantasize about Pakis raping white men?

You also evidently know nothing of my opinions on Prison. I just had this argument the other day so I assume that might be what you are referring to, but in that, I think I made it clear that I don't think we should be holding people up in prison rape-dungeons for years and years. We should go old school: Hang rapists and murders (and don't keep them sticking around for 5 or 10 years before we do it), public beatings are stockades for minor crimes, and physical castration for paedophiles.

I made a joke about UK prison not being fun on account of all the Paki rape gangs. And as much as it might be a blow to your ego I don't stalk you across threads and catalog your opinions on specific issues.

If you wanna be serious for a second; my take is that the dude is probably a pussy, but It could also be down to not having anything to live for and not giving a fuck. Like you didn't wanna live already and this was the thing you needed for your final push.

That’s the point. This dude had iron balls the size of coconuts. Now whether this was due to testicular cancer, and he poured acid on himself because he’s a dumbass, is an entirely different matter.

Idk about iron balls all he had to do was a 2 year stint in the clink more like bitch ass nigga.

I came in here to have a giggle. You're the proud white man getting so triggered over an offhanded rape joke that not only did you feel the need to respond multiple times, but you even dug through your reaction gif folder for me.

I'm gonna stop responding now because between the UK angle and defending rape jokes you're making me feel like Sargon. Gonna fuck off into the bathroom and scrub myself down with steel wool and oven cleaner.
 
Top-notch security there,

"Oi, what's in that steaming bottle?"

"It's my, uh, nerve medicine, honest"

This dude couldn't even hang 2 years in prison and sperged out like a bitch. "Money laundering" is one of the crimes that most prisoners couldn't give 2 shits about. It's not like he raped a muslim girl or something.

Yeah but he was probably well aware that he was going to be pee-pee pincushion for a conga-line of Ahmeds, Yousefs, and Geordi Shore rejects and decided to nope the fuck out of that one.

Imagine how bad UK prison must be when taking a hydrochloric bath is the preferred option.
