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.

Immigration from shitholes hasn't helped, but a good chunk of the people rioting, as is often the case in the UK are 4-5th generation blacks or pakis.

In the demographics bit I posted earlier only 57.4% of the population of the area were born in the UK.

The main 3 non UK are

17.9% middle east
13.4% EU
9.2% Africa

Delving further into the numbers, by ethnicity

11799 are "asian"
5364 are black

With the number of people born outside the UK being

5538 middle east and Asia
2841 Africa

Assuming the people born in those areas have the expected ethnicity then

46.9% of "asians"
52.9% of blacs

are 1st generation.

That's a significant import of people into an area and I guarantee it isn't just the UK born ones flipping and burning anything they can find.

People need to accept that even the "good" ones will have kids that just regress to the norm of their kind. Which is basically Orc behaviour and mindsets. There should be none of them here.

I was talking to my friend about this the other day. He brought up how the Windrush generation were happy to come to the UK and wanted to be "British" (i mean the entire Windrush thing was just one big scheme to pay lower wages) and i brought up how they could never be "British" and that i actually felt sorry for both them, and the native Britons. It was basically the start of "multiculturalism" in Britain all under the guise of "building back the country" after the war (they mainly drove buses and did other menial low paying jobs because the fat cats could get away with paying them less than a native). I mentioned to my friend how a lot of the descendants of the Windrush generation were a problem in the 70's/80's/90's etc and are also a problem now, a lot of Carribean kids dealing drugs, stabbing people, knocking up coalburners and ditching etc..

Same problem for the current influx of legal Africans, mainly Nigerians. They come from wealthy families in Nigeria, the average normie claps and says it's good that we're letting the "right" ones in. Wait a generation and see how that turns out, their kids are the ones that are either protesting for BLM/Palestine etc.. or become drill rappers in London selling coke and stabbing each other.

Sounds like a Romanian with middle aged man boobs claiming 1 kid pushed another kid over while the parents were away working so later the parents took the kid hospital, when they got back the cops took one kid away into care.
Source, accent and skin tone are the same as one I work with.

Your translation matches mine, to be honest he's easy enough to understand just speaking slowly.

He also claims when the social workers came no investigations had been done into the actual injuries and things had been faked. I'm torn, on the one hand "they fell" is an abusive parent's go-to for a reason and I feel a full investigation would have been done unless the parents have prior for this. In addition insular communities are happy to lie to cover one of their own.

On the other hand the police and social workers don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Baby is seven months old, currently in hospital with a serious brain bleed. Parents were drunk when cops arrive. They claim a seven month old baby 'fell out of a first floor window' onto the pavement.

I know who I'm not giving the benefit of any doubt there.

The removal was an emergency removal because a kid who probably isn't even walking yet is probably going to die.

But that’s just their culture and we need to be more understanding of it.
 
Pretty funny that it's pissed down across most of the UK all summer, and the very moment there's a break in the weather and the sun comes out for 5 minutes, the country fucking explodes into violent riots. The UK police deserve everything they get from these angry shitskins.

Yeah, social services almost never actually do their jobs, and normally just leave the kids to die in squalid conditions; then offer a shrug and 'sorry' when the inquiry comes back. For them to actually remove them from somewhere, it must have been dire.

No. That would put them at the middle of the 1800's. My grandfather (making me 2nd generation) was born in 1929. His grandfather was born somewhere around 1850/1860

We've always had multiculturalism. India and Britain were close (after the massacres) and post ww2 the Irish and Indians (Mainly Sikhs) helped rebuild Britain, then came windrush. When the pakistanis and bangladeshis started to hit us in the 80s, that's when shit went south.

Bear in mind, during the 90s we had yugoslavians, iranians, iraqis, bosnians and sebs come to our country for asylum, with little trouble at all. Yet when the scumbag Afrians (not all are scumbags, again some are God fearing and integrate with British values well) and scumbag middle-easterns came, that's when shit accelerated south in quick-time.

There’s a small Arab community in my home town and it might be a few that are pretty chill. My dad is mates with half of them. They’re mainly the kids of wealthy Syrians, speak English, integrate, and have actual small businesses rather than fronts for organised crime.

We’re super lucky with this and it also means if anyone tries to move durka durka jihad types in they’ll probably sort them out pretty swiftly and quietly.

That kind of immigration I can support.

And there's the closer truth. Kind of doubted "fell over in the street" claim would be true but I was prepared to wait for facts.

I think you don't grasp the extent of how many children these people pump out. The first wave of Windrush was 1948, lets say that first wave have a child when they get here, then lets say the median age of reproduction for Afro-Carribean people in the UK is 22 (it's usually between mid teens to mid 20's) that first waves children would be 22 themselves in 1970, the generation after would be 22 in 1992, the generation after 22 in 2014. That is 3 generations not including the original migrants. There are some cases where it could be 4 generations because as i previously stated, they are known for producing offspring at very young ages, along with knocking up coalburners and leaving. It's actually a stereotype at this point.

Pakis are a bit different in that they came a little bit later and tended to be a bit more strict. They are still outbirthing natives currently with the average child count per woman being between 3-4. The only demographics that are consistently pumping out as many are African households and Travellers. Some might argue "well, a lot of lower income white trash families have too many kids too!" that is true sometimes, but is actually dropping off quite a bit. Also a lot of these large families are usually white native women with a horde of mulatto kids from multiple different fathers (usually Carribean) and for some reason get lumped in with the overall native birthrate.

We have had different European cultures in Britain, we had the occasional Arabic or Chinese trader in coastal towns during the middle ages and the wealthy upper caste of India would make voyages to the UK for some reason (they wouldn't migrate here though) , but no, we have not been "multicultural" in the sense you are implying. This is a relatively recent situation and is already a problem. The Irish are a Celtic people so share a lot of history and genealogy with the people of the British Isles due to history like i mentioned and close proximity. The Irish were often employed as cheap migrant labourers here and in the U.S, i know they helped to rebuild parts of cities after the war, first i have heard of Indians being major contributors, do you have any good sources for that claim? i am genuinely curious. I personally have no problem with Indians, the Sikhs to be specific, they are decent folk but they still shouldn't be here.

Iraqis have been a problem, to a lesser extent so have some Iranians. and we hardly got any Yugoslav refugees during the wars. Many went to places like Sweden, Germany, Austria and Switzerland and look how that turned out. The Serbs can be okay and integrate well, Bosnians and Albanians are a big problem, Albanians especially. The Albanian diaspora have strong ties to Albania and a strong understanding of ethnic identity, similar to Turks.. very much a "us vs them" mentality.

EDIT. We should probably continue this in dms so as not to shit up the thread. Also i should probably not write essays in future, apologies.
