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.

It's sad because Smith is also talking about British/ English ethnonationalists when he's railing against the "clowns" and "cranks". He's trying to convert their party into a civic nationalist party, and they are defending him because they don't have any alternative to go to.

You aren’t getting one. Not a right wing one nor a left wing one. TPTB are dead set against any form of nationalism, and will squish and stymie anything vaguely promising. They know exactly what people’s weaknesses are and they push figures who are easily compromised with fetishes / sex/ money stuff.
The scale of the problem is too big for people like this to fix. The country is fucked. It requires something akin to a full scale military takeover, a coup, and a full curettage. The kind of person who can do that does not exist anymore because all the young men have been emasculated and turned into troons, gooners or femboys. The ‘alt right’ seems to be prone to all the same weaknesses as the loony left is, just with different outfits and branding. These are not serious people.
We aren’t getting another Caesar, or Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. Any one who appears vaguely competent and unable to be bought will simply be gotten rid of. The military is being run into the floor.
What needs to be done to fix things is massive in sacks, and deeply unpleasant, and nobody has the stomach for it. Which means it ends in rivers of blood at some point, and we rebuild from the ashes.

I tried watching this the other day, and while he made some good observations in his opening statement, he blew his load too early and ended up spoiling it for himself when his /pol/-brain took over with some absolutely bizarre sperging about BBC cuckoldry, just like in his porno movies.

The undisputed lowlight being this bit:



...I'm sorry, Paddy, d'you wanna just run that by me again? And maybe show your search history?

How the fuck did you glean that from this completely chemistry-free two and a half seconds of footage of two people sitting in a car, not even making eye contact with eachother?

Delete your subscription to BLACKED.com and touch a bit of grass, son.

Ironically enough, you're taking him too seriously. The key observation is that the ad has a black man and a white woman, because that's the norm in media today. Everything after that is a joke. He makes similar over the top jokes all through the video.

We should have trusted the plan when he ran for Ukip, now he's had to run everything back and say that he would indeed rape Jess Philips.

Sargon didn't fail the UK, we failed Sargon.

I didn't laugh either, but at least I understand when a stupid joke is meant to be a stupid joke.

Anything that is outside the mainstream is inflated by the police and security services straight away.

We do not and will not ever have a functioning far-right in this country (which is ultimately a good thing, hit me with the stickers, LARPers) as the first batch of member will get compromised by the police and then your details end up with Hope Not Hate to harass your employers, so that you end up broke, dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it's funny.

The far-left is allowed to exist, I'm guessing as they see it as a pressure valve and not a real threat to the establishment as lefties are weak, lazy, and prone to endless infighting. It almost blew up in their faces with Corbyn. We're starting to see them come down on the environmental mongs and pro-Hamas wankers as they've overplayed their hands and are getting a bit too confident.

There's always been a weird game of 4d chess being played with the extreme ends of British politics, it's just that the players are just getting more and more retarded.
