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.

Well yeah, if he'd touched the trans question back then there's a chance he'd have actually gone to prison over it.

It's one of the reasons why there's no hope for Labour or Conservatives. They facillitated this situation of censoring wrongthink with severe punishments, and now the overton window has shifted and people are allowed to say the things that they couldn't they remember who told them they couldn't.
Considering what came out during the phone hacking scandal that fucker should already be in jail. I get MATI as hell that people have seemingly forgotten all about it and he's still allowed to be on TV even to this day.
 
I'm so fucking sick of "Right wingers" and their love of culture war Bullshit.
It's because the right has no actual thought leaders (anymore, at least), it's just grifters and knee-jerking all the way down. Whereas the left suffers from a chronic perversion of intellectualism such they can no longer speak like normal people, cite "theory" like it's gospel and will digest any ideologically aligned dogma so long as it is sufficiently disguised as "science" or "critical thinking" the right suffers from a chronic under-intellectualism where everything is just intuition and reverence for "common sense". Both are annoying as fuck and any time the right seems like it might actually gain a proper thought leader (Douglas Murray or Jordan Peterson, for example) they turn out to just be another grifter.

The worst consequence of the right's lack of real thinkers though is that it's always reactive to the left, in effect the typical right-winger is just a delayed onset leftist; they can swallow all that LGB stuff, but T?! Never. Except in about two decades when they can swallow LGBT but not whatever the latest letter is. The left is never going away because the right only ever meets them at the motte and never the bailey, it never tries to get under the core philosophical positions the left holds and just deals with the with whatever form they come packaged in instead. Talk to the right about relativism, dialectics, marxist theory, postmodern developments, etc and they dismiss it as bullshit (quite rightly), but they mistake it being bullshit for it being inconsequential.

The right seriously underestimates how important it is to have a voice in the industries of ideas, which is why the left now largely dominates universities, the arts, entertainment, marketing, civil service and so on. The right might dominate "real" industries that have direct material consequences on everyday lives in the immediate term, but it also means they lose total control over the long arch of the nation. Which is exactly how you manage to get a country where millions of immigrants are imported completely against the will of the population, because the only will that mattered was those who controlled the decision and the right ceded that control to the left a long time ago.

I agree to an extent but this is assuming that the entirety of the right is "conservative" and ignores every other right wing ideology (a lot of them are reactionary though)

Hugh Anthony sucks cock (much like his oshi nick fuentes) but fucking hell what is that on the right. He's getting actual retards on his show to debate about green party policy but fair enough if you're gonna show up on a stream debating politics you better know some policies.
I don't know who the guy on the right is, but when Hugh realises just how open he's leaving himself to attack, he gets a look on his face just like this:

It's the expression that says: "Well, if you're going to walk up and ask for this..."

It's because the Right has shit to do. We regard politics as a necessary evil to be done with so we can get back to doing useful stuff. And the Left regards it as end in itself.
 
I wasn't complaining- and in fact I'm actually beyond hopeful that we now have a few actual paths forward through standard political means
This bit needs mention.
We think violence is a last grasp solution to overwhelming problems.
The left thinks it’s the first solution to any possible alternative to them.

I’d be very wary of what happens in these new reform areas. Labour learned from the democrats remember, so expect implied police racism in the media leading to riots.
 
Kier decided the answer to their catastrophic unpopularity is to get the old Blair band back together. This morning:
-Gordon Brown is Special Envoy to Global Finance (Brown as Chancellor famously sold Britain's gold reserves at the bottom of the market).
-Harriet Harman as Adviser on Women and Girls (Harman voluntarily worked for pedo rights group PIE in the 1970s and is a TRA).
 
However what's the point of complaining if you don't have a solution? And mine would be a violent overthrow of the government and a far right party taking control that, within days, rounds up all non-natives and gets rid of nearly all of them. Which is what I would like to see. And while I know this is highly unlikely, it's a fantastic dream to have.
That’s not a ‘solution’ is it? You might as well have written ‘mine is for Batman and all the other caped crusaders to take to the streets and wipe them out’.

Do you know how vastly outnumbered the British army - even including all irregulars and voluntary - is by even the illegal migrants, never mind all the dodgy as fuck ‘allowed in for working in a paki shop/fake barbers/vape/dessert shop’? They don’t have anywhere near the numbers needed to do what you’re suggesting.

The British army and the armed divisions of the Met would probably fail to take London now if it came to it. Without even getting into whether the browns amongst their ranks would actually follow orders.
Greens - the white voter base will go.

Reform - Will now start being very white, most likely, almost all the jeets they ran failed. I think Portsmouth or Plymouth lost to the dems because the candidate was a muslim. Farage will get very arrogant…
There is a large swathe of white people - mostly women - that will never, ever abandon their idea of Benetton advert (or any advert these days) Britain, nor get over their fetish for browns.

Most young people’s (under twenty-five) friend group contains at least one non-white now, such is the demographic reality of the country. If they associate Restore, or even fucking Reform, with a threat to their ‘good brown’ friend then they’ll be incredibly unlikely to vote for them, so they’ll go Green.

Reform will learn nothing from people not voting for their brown candidates, and at most will remove them from candidacy but still have them in background roles. It’s in the fabric of the party, they’re not pro-white and have non-white megadonors and leadership.
I hope they continue to keep saying it, keep alienating the white working class (literally the largest share of the population by a massive margin) I'm sure it'll work this time.
I don’t want to be some endlessly negative doomposter, but many of the WWC don’t vote. Many have succumbed to apathy or nihilism. I’d wager many of the people at marches or kicking in shops after Southport didn’t actually vote in the election earlier that year.

Among the WWC, there are many ‘old Labour’ ‘anti-racist’ types. The ones with ‘good browns’ as mentioned above (mainly football players). The older ones will refuse to accept that they’ve been wrong all their lives and have essentially lived a lie, while the younger ones are ‘Palestine action’ types.
Considering what came out during the phone hacking scandal that fucker should already be in jail. I get MATI as hell that people have seemingly forgotten all about it and he's still allowed to be on TV even to this day.
To say nothing of his ‘So what if whites become a minority’ shit and the fact that he has one of the most punchable faces and personalities in the world.
-Harriet Harman as Adviser on Women and Girls (Harman voluntarily worked for pedo rights group PIE in the 1970s and is a TRA).
OG troon, looks like Jim Broadbent with a wig on:

Khan lining up his leadership bid.
Labour powerbrokers have said they will not allow Burnham or Rayner to take the reigns.
Sheboon Mahmoud might be lining herself up.
Lord Ali will be pleased with either choice as only they will be better/as-good-as puppets as Starmer.

Numbers alone do not win a conflict. BA may be undermanned but they are better equipped and better trained than anything the imported masses could throw at them. As for London, assuming that flattening the city and starting again is off the table. Blockade it borough by borough, cut water/power off and stop any food getting in. After a few days the problem will start solving itself.

They do actually, it’s the ultimate form of attrition warfare.

Operation Barbarossa, WWI, Sino-Japan and TGWOT all spring to mind.

If we’re only referring to the ‘well equipped’ and ‘well trained’ UK soldiers - the ‘deployment ready’ - then the number available becomes even smaller.

There are huge skill deficits compared to even twenty years ago, brilliant retirees who have not been sufficiently replaced or replaced by DEI hires. It might be comforting to think there are these huge secret squads of ‘Andy McNab’ types… but there aren’t.

The thing to do would be to begin recruitment immediately among the unemployed white working class, including some of the prison population, and start urban warfare and logistics training. Start posting these new recruits around the border and at newly built barracks near the most polluted towns, the cities will come last.

Immediately ban all incoming flights from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Syria, Somalia, Nigeria… the list goes on… and deal with nationals in those countries returning on a case-by-case basis. Pass whatever law needs to pass to be able to shoot and sink any boat attempting to arrive on UK shores and make sure that this new policy is advertised in no uncertain terms throughout Europe, India, Africa etc.

Create clear exit routes for the immigrants, take over whole airports or at least terminals, guarantee them safe passage if they leave voluntarily, give them a deadline within which they must leave of their own volition or guarantee that force will be used… and go from there.

To do the recruiting, training and operations described above though you need proper leaders of men prepared to make it happen and many more regulars able and willing to do it and I’m not sure that the UK has either of those things available. Many of the industries to which you’d turn to try to galvanize young men are heavily nigger coded - sports, fitness, combat sports etc. This is going to create pushback and demonstrate split loyalties.

It needs the carrot and the stick

Start with any of them who have eligibility for nationality elsewhere and have been convicted of a crime, any crime. Public sympathy for those will be the lowest. Forcibly deport along with their families.

For those that have been law abiding, offer financial incentives to return to their country of origin for any that have ILR or British citizenship (revoked as part of the process). Sure it sticks in the craw, but it's also probably good value for money.

Stop incoming flights from the countries mentioned above. Aggressively pursue, detain and deport any new arrivals.

Then move down the list based on economic activity. Reverse the decisions that provided the privilege of living here permanently to people who contribute nothing. Allow the few that genuinely contribute to stay if they want to.

It's like unblocking a drain. Once you've made a bit of progress they will eventually all be flushed out. We should be aiming for 90%.
 
I'm sure if the left keep calling people against mass immigration "thick racist gammon", they might change their vote next time. They should keep doing that.
I don't get why that's meant to be an insult. Gammon is one of the nicest meats in the fucking world. Maybe I'm thick but what's wrong with that #bodypositivity? And I'm less racist than the people that are being mass immigrated.
It's fucking MENTAL to see this kneejeek reaction playing out again, exactly the same as after Brexit. No reflection at all, absolutely no attempt to try and understand what's happening.
The thing is if you were capable of that sort of reflection and critical thought you would not support any left leaning party in this country. Socialism is incompatible with open borders. Fucking Marx said that. If you were capable of thinking maybe we shouldn't vote for the party full of muslims that want to bring in more muslims but also say they love the lgbtqihgroas. Or the ones that say they will support people and benefits and council housing while flooding the country with more people that need those. If you could see how retardedly oxymoronic that is then you just wouldn't be a liberal. So the only people left that are liberals are the fucking retards with no critical thought which are the type of person to go hurrrr de reform dey be da racist because dey no like rapist because he black.

Absolutely, I can see all these happening internally. The problem is the following;
  1. Khan - Would be like a weird Truss effect, where the core state would panic. Khan is just as despised as Keith; the councils in London have stripped him of much of his power, largely because they hate him. On top of that, Khan would spook the fuck out of the financiers; also, internationally, he would do poorly, especially with Europe essentially fracturing too. France and Spain will suck his dick, but the others will hate him.
  2. Reyner and Burnham - will spook the markets, and any business left in the country that can flee will leave.
  3. Sheboon is too hated by the far left of the party.
Appointing Brown and Harman is insane; they are both hated.
 
I live in an area where (and it pains me to say it,but it's true) the councillors are lib dem and are very, very good at what they do.

Isn't this what voting is for? To vote for those that were previously voted in, and actually do something productive for their community, and are good at what they do?

Why would you vote for anyone else, and give a fuck about whatever party they represent if they work well?
