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.

They're getting a lot of time to prepare for it. That's well over a month away and the powers that be will try to spin this to quell tensions. It's clear that last night has them rattled and they want to put a stop to whatever's going on. I too have my doubts whether we have reached boiling point and people are beginning to snap but I wish to be mildly optimistic for now. Shitskins need a reminder as to who's country they're living in.

Month and a half makes me think they are going to be more sensible and practice the same tactics used elsewhere. Expect lots of people trying to get recordings and expect a massively excessive response from the police to stop them doing so.

Nuclear option is Labour slap the terrorism label on the EDL and use all of the laws the Tories put in about protests to crush those not affiliated with them.

More likely one is the police use the people they have in those groups to kick off stuff to give their actions a veneer of respectability. We know they have a history of that, indeed there's a case currently going through about some of those who did that with left-wing affiliated groups.

Import untold thousands of hairtrigger-violent fighting age males from war ravaged shitholes.

Jobs scarce, economy moribund.

Police and military experiencing a recruitment crisis.

Antiwhite propaganda relentless and ubiquitous.

Gee, I wonder where this could be going.

I have a family member who is a bit of a prophet. They've been calling it right since the 90s. Their latest prediction, told to me last week which I laughed off; "Get out of the UK by the end of September, It's all going to kick off". Maybe they're right again.

I having this ever growing belief that a significant part of the rights online voice, mostly the "alt right" types exist soley to demoralize and make you feel helpless and that there is no point in doing anything about the state of things, I believe thats why Fuentes exists and why /pol/ is able to stay online without issue.

They are what you call "living" red herrings. There is a reason for why they are allowed to stick around even with the backlash.
 
I'd just tell you to start planning to get out. The Government isn't going to stop their agenda, no matter who gets in. They consider you disposable.

 
I cannot express my disdain for London. If it were to sink into the sea, at least there would be a ton of dead Arabs. I am really lucky my place is pretty damn white because the place is heavily local they don't cow tail to foreigners at all. Its older people man, they are the last racist bastion.

How deeply buried in a multi-million dollar gated neighborhood of Prince George's County would you have to be for your family to be as safe as in Nowhereville, Appalachia?

2006 stats (its 2024 btw) , for what area? what country? Kind of incomplete.
 
Tommy Robinson is a retard but I can appreciate the amount of ass pain he causes whenever he causes a ruckus.
 
Riot police were out and about in a few places across England today, with civil unrest spreading from the events of Southport this week [thread]. Here's a roundup of happenings.

Whitehall, London. In the day, the lads engage in their national pride: football chants.
'Stick your fucking Islam up your arse'


Later there were scuffles and the riot lads boinked heads.



After dark was an aggressive police sweep to clear the streets.

Whitehall was a pretty big day. If you want more there's a thread unfortunately by an insufferable journalist, but nevertheless with a lot of good media here.

Hartlepool, NE England. Frequently appears to be a swarm of feral street children. A couple of guys got lightly mauled by police dogs.





Later, some guys assaulted a brown dude clearly just walking through. Huge L for the Hartlepool lads.


Manchester, NW England. From an area called Newton Heath, a fairly determined police presence but only some minor chats caught on camera.

2006 for the US. Before Obama's "Just Us" department and fanning the flames of BLM race riots for Mike Brown, Freddie Gray, and Trayvon Martin. And then of course the full blown race communism, de-policing, and Soros DAs of the Floyd era.

So after all that, which direction do you think the black violence differential has moved? Steve Sailer has some meticulously researched graphs...
 
Crowder had Tommy Robinson on his show yesterday, where he interviews him, and Tommy goes more in-depth and explains things to us naive small-brained Amerimutts. He also shows some relevant clips from the documentary. His interview starts at about the 44:00 mark or so...

Rumble link because Jewtube is censorious faggots.

You're just LARPing on the internet though. In the real world trying to organise anything with poor optics isn't going to pan out well.

I'm not LARPing whatsoever. As I said before, I'm just an Amerimutt sperging in a UK related thread... 🤷‍♂️

The organisers would face a high chance of being beheaded on the streets of Paris for pulling that stunt. I don't think smashing mosque windows quite has the same effect and I don't want Christians beheading innocent people either?

Considering the usual outcomes of these events where nothing meaningful ever happens, and the Charlie Hebdo attacks are still relatively recent, I would say that low-IQ types that only understand violence probably need to be taught a lesson using violence as the means of teaching. Because "solidarity" and "peaceful coexistence" is fundamentally incompatible with these dumb sand niggers. It hasn't ever worked a single time in the past, and it won't in the future.

Theirs a time and a place for violence but it's never going to achieve fuck all until enough people are behind your cause.

I wouldn't be so hasty to come to that conclusion. The Arab Spring Protests that eventually led to the downfall of Moammar Ghadaffi and Hosni Mubarak started with minor relatively peaceful Protests. All it takes is the right mix of disgruntled public sentiment, ineffective government, and a spark to light the powder keg to set things off.

I agree with you in spirit, and I don't want to burst your bubble, but the Bill of Rights isn't the very first part of the Constitution. The Bill of Rights is literally a collection of amendments, literally afterthoughts.
Click to expand...
Well, my phrase might have been spelled out wrong, but I wouldn't call the Bill of Rights "afterthoughts" especially considering that the first 10 were all ratified at the same time, less than 2 years after the constitution itself was ratified , and the fact that people like James Madison, who were fundamental architects of the Constitution itself were main contributors to the Bill of Rights. And that they were specifically called out as fundamental rights guaranteed by the US constitution. I see it more as the founding fathers who wrote the constitution just simply "added to it" for lack of a better term, rather than amending the constitution in dramatic fashion.

Been watching the reactions etc on this and the media, even the so called alternative media seem to desperately be trying to either shift pity onto the brown cunts or in the case of the Alts, assure you its got to be solved with talking more (and donating to edaddy of course!)
Idk, I sense fear, Its too early to say but this seems to have started something, nobody is swallowing their shit on this one.
Of course its just as likely that it burns out and everybody goes back to the new normal but im quietly optimistic here.

One benefit of a Labour government is the populace knows they're actively hated by them so there's no need for voters to bow down in hope that Labour may do something about immigration. The Tories at least pretended they might do something. The election has probably saved them from dealing with the tipping point.

I do think that this labour government really is going to be remembered as yet another riddled with civil unrest, failing foreign relations and staggering poverty. It's only been like, less than a month a well. Wild stuff.
 
At this rate its going to take a miracle to last a full term lol They are facing down a revolt and making the time proven approach of "kick the peasants harder!" to try and calm things, Meanwhile they are going through their own little civil war after immediately breaking promises. Idk, I feel strangely positive about my countries future for the first time in such a long time.
 
I'm feeling smug, in a way. I didn't get the seat distribution right (I couldn't have been more wrong if I tried), but everything else I predicted before the election is coming true. Labour are going to spend most of this term embroiled in fire-fighting and reacting to events, without a clear mandate or vision. The party is split, with Keir and Rayner at loggerheads behind the scenes and with two, possible three factions solidifying (Starmer's tranny-progressive wing, corbyn/rayner's momentum, and a reformist wing that currently has no focus, but might consolidate around wes streeting). Starmer's Labour is three parties in a raincoat, meaning he's functionally leading a minority government, even if he has a majority on paper. There will be certain places where Labour are united, but in a lot of cases I reckon Keir will have to rely on support from the lib dems, independents, and even the tories to ram things through in the face of opposition from his own party. The fact that he's already throwing people out of the party shows how disunited they are.
 
tfw you come home from holiday to a massacre of little girls and widespread race riots
 
After seeing the headlines on about 100 arrests in London last night I thought I'd spend a few mins googling.

Let's compare....

Pakis - 0 arrests



Pakis again - 0 arrests



Roma gypos - 20 arrests
(sidenote: they didn't dare interfere with the gypos at the time, these were next day etc arrests)



White English - 100 arrests




Obviously none of its like for like but when you look at the pakis blocking off a police station and a city centre including tram lines and roads. Then the gypos burning a police car and a bus.
Compare that to last night when some of that 100 were arrested for nothing more than staying later than 20:30!
