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.

Doesn’t Starmer realise the areas that are on fire are Labour strongholds and going around arresting everyone might not be very popular?

He doesn't care. He's got his orders from the top. Honestly, if this could all be solved with a few riots, we nwouldn't be in this position. Something very sinister is going on, something that has been carefully orchestrated for decades and it looks like it's all about to pop off. This is not going away, the riots or the agenda to destroy Britain and her people.
 
For real?
Yes. Because I was "deliberately ignoring rules about thumb nails" because I didn't thumbnail a picture about the current situation. Even though I never saw the rules saying you had to thumbnail stuff. A warning would have been fine but nope, thread ban.

Neither side will back down which is making this get worse and worse.
 
My tin foil hat moment is now thinking this is exactly what Starmer wants and he thinks this is going to be his Falklands and he really is that deluded.

He’s done zero politicking and has declared war on his voters to save the postal vote fraudsters.

He’s escalated this for likes and retweets.

(I can’t post this on the Summer of Discontent thread because the mods will never be a woman)

It’s the only type of steel you will find lying about or in scrap yards that is hardenable, and thus can make a useful blade.

Sure, you can order a chunk of whatever alloy you want on ebay but if the need is on you suddenly, or in times of conflict, you’d have to work with what you’ve got.
You can buy steel online from steel vendors. They will deliver it to your door. Don't know about the UK, but you should be able, its a construction material.
Two tier Keir has made a public statement defending the Muslims, promising muslims protection and calling everyone involved a racist who will be punished to the full extent of the law. Bet you can't guess how this is going to go over tonight.

Absolute tyrant that only knows how to bring down the hammer.
 
So it looks like the riot thread has been taken over by Americans discussing BLM and Trump. Brilliant. Truly the best place to get news on the topic.

Any one else got a decent place to keep up? I'd try /pol/ but I don't want to see anime girl spam.

Imagine banning a contributing member to a happening in a thread inspired by that member.

The yanks have ruined the happenings thread with jew spergery and the Major Event thread in A+N with trump jewish spergery.

I’m banned from the Summer of Discontent thread for laughing at the Americans derailing it.

This site gets gayer by the year. I should not start new accounts every couple of years so my join date would mean rules don’t apply to me.

I don't understand why brits are copping bans in brit threads? Surely the derail yanks should be banned, seems as their takes are dogshit-tier and they lack even the basic understanding of what's going on?
Plus they're fat and retarded.
I wonder if the oldfags that we've told to fuck off have sent reports in?

The duality of this site is that the best place to find current news is A+N, which is hated by the rest of the site; full of people so sad that they spend their time 'laughing' at literal nobodies on the internet, while slamming A+N posters for being autistic/sad.
 
The spooks will be watching Pol and Reddit like Jimmy Saville watching a playground. I will look around and post when but if you do you know the routine VPN and don't post ideally.
Always use a VPN. I never post with a clear IP any where. I'm too much of a spastic to raw dog the internet and I know it.

I don't think the Starmer statement has even been posted there. The thread is fucked and I specifically reported derailing posts and asked for a mod to stop the spam and derailment. Now it's all that's left.

Portland guy is still going on Kick. I'm finding it hard to watch as he keeps showing rat subhuman streams and I don't want to see them.

I did laugh at an Amazon lacky earlier. Usually they turn up with ghetto music booming from their van. Either shout HELLO or throw your package at the door and leave. Today I saw one who was meek as a mouse, no music, very quietly saying "hello?" and clearly shitting himself because he's in a white area during race riots. They are really scared and it's funny.

Don't forget Londo is running a piss poor stream trying to get e clout!

I don't know why we're all getting bans but we are. If I put on my /pol/ hat I would say some of the admins might be on the pay roll and they're removing information spreaders. Call me paranoid but kiwi farms is a site of interest and there will be spooks helping to run it.

I mean at least the Falklands was a legit battle to be had. The people living there are predominantly British and didn't much care for the Argentinians trying to claim them back.

Thatcher was a union buster and closing the mines wasn't super popular (technically she inherited the closing mines program from Labour but still) - a good scuffle helped distract.

It's been a bit weird seeing the Thatcher Twitter posting quotes about busting protests and suggesting she's for Starmers response. I think the Iron Lady would of been less Hamfisted about it. But I also believe Thatcher would of never let things get to this level.

In any case great that he delayed his holiday to piss people off some more. Labour really trying to bear the Conservatives speedrun record for messing the country up.

There's dozens of companies that do this in the UK, you can even buy it off eBay if it's small enough for a courier.

4CHan was comprimised, would it be a surprise if this place was? It happened a few years back with lefty faggots.
Take a look at the tranny boxer thread. Non-stop reddit fart huffing musing about intersex and muh infinitygenders lol.

I had a thought the other day that the DDoS from the Janke's stopped as quick as it started. Did Janke have a deal with null to put an end to the DDoS in exchange for help to build his own platform while agreeing to somewhat support a narrative? Could anyone blame null for wanting an easier life? Is lidldrip Isabella Janke?
 
Islam is like the Jews. It's not a religion in the same way Christianity is.
All religions are ethnoreligions, religiosity itself is an evolved social instinct in service of gene furtherance of a type that suits it. It's why christianity breaks down and splinters along ethnic lines, and it's why as an ethnic practice it's been debased as a result of the jewish debasement of white ethnic outlooks at large.
It's why without modifying it with tested native ethic practices like the various "paganisms" of europe for its intended practitioners, it's just raw and unsuitable swarthoid desert neurosis - it's why it worked when most people couldn't read and it was learned coethnics serving it in their own words to masses in a manner that'd speak to them, it's why its practitioners had to build levels upon levels of extended lore and philosophy to try make it palatable and scientific as they then understood it, it's why its most fervent practitioners nowadays are antisocial, functionally insane people on their lonesome hyperfocused on the revenging jew god instead of well socialised communities organising in a christian flavour while otherwise being properly and temporally oriented as you'd expect whitoids to be.

Islam is the same - the genes of the populace inform the practice. It's why sects matter, it's why ethnic explanations supercede counter-jihadi hogwash. And it's why focusing on religion is a misconception that serves jewish interests while demystifying the racial phenomenon embedded in these issues is a big problem for jews

To focus on religion is, for one, putting the cart before the horse and, secondarily, not getting at the heart of the issue because religion is both inextricable from and secondary to genes.

Agree on the second point for cases of non-stop derailment, but in Doc's case he'd been posting his shed chemistry projects in the Self Sufficiency forum for a while. Plus, he was on the verge of having an aneurysm over the events in Stoke.

A few of us are getting them for telling the Yanks sh up the thread to fuck off.

I'm going to avoid that thread because unlike this thread or the major incident thread, you don't need an account to view it on the clearweb. Probably why there's so many jew-hate glow-posts on there.
