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.

The establishment has brainwashed people into hating Cromwell and ruined his reputation because there is nothing they fear more then a Cromwell 2.0
Pride's purge didn't go far enough
Cromwell was a great red-blooded Englishman who didn't take no shit from Fenians, Jocks nor Swamp Germans
You guys cry about him banning Christmas but he only did it because he knew the woke bullshit that would result from Christmas
Tell me in all honesty, do you really believe we'd have to deal with fags, trannies and niggers today if Christmas was still banned?
He is Britain's greatest king

Well, we've got a Puritan government at the moment, and it isn't working out too well

Puritan government?
Click to expand...
Let's put it another way, then. We have a government led by a man who imposes strict, often contradictory moral rules on the population at large while enjoying a lavish lifestyle funded by foreign influences. This man celebrates the destruction of cultural touchstones and traditional ways of life, views the common man as inherently evil and in need of his strict discipline, and imposes punitive taxation on things he deems immoral, often while enjoying those very same things himself.

Am I talking about Cromwell, or Starmer?

The fact you would try to compare these two completely different men is insulting

Cromwell was a patriot who spoke out and fought against the establishment when doing so was extremely dangerous and he was willing to die for those beliefs.
Starmer is an unprincipled establishment cuck who let's a Muslim millionaire fuck his wife for money.

The fact you think these two men are even similar is due to literally hundreds of years of propaganda by the elite classes to try and ensure Cromwell 2.0 never happens

Pack it in lads, Monopolywheel is insulted

His hypocrisy aside, the thing that Starmer has most in common with Cromwell is that in both cases their morality is completely out of step with the rest of the country.
Banning Christmas was bonkers, and you'd have to be deep in the Puritan cult to think it's a good idea.
Giving the Chagos islands to Mauritius was bonkers, and you'd have to be deep in the Labour cult to think it's a good idea.

Cromwell never banned Christmas
Parliament just banned the woke and degenerate parts of it that would eventually lead to fag and nigger worship
Honestly it's dumb that conservatives today complain about people saying 'happy holidays' but then hate on Cromwell for actually wanting Christmas to be a Christian holy day and not a Jewish holiday

You mean to convince me that things like decorative holly and hot food lead to "nigger worship"? Because that's what Parliament banned at his direction, along with just about everything else that made Christmas worth having. It was a feast day and he literally banned eating.

The Christmas celebrations were extremely papist and look at the catholic church now, they literally worship niggers more then god
They have nigger cardinals and will probably soon have a nigger pope

What a load of drivel, the purpose of Christmas is to commemorate the birth of Christ, not stuff your face with spicy food and cheap wine.

Pub dogs are a British tradition, don't take your frustration out on normal people just because you go to poncy shithead pubs.
Some bollocks about Cromwell

The Cromwell was pretty good but was somewhat let down by having subpar armament compared to what it had to fight. If the things were big enough to fit the 17pdr then they would've been great but alas they couldn't and so they didn't, though I guess the speed made them pretty useful in some occasions.

You know what I miss? Pub birds. I have fond memories as a child of meeting a random parrot or watching canaries or budgies in a cage in the middle of pub. Admittedly it was probably bad for their little lungs with how smokey pubs used to be, but I miss them. Especially parrots. I'd never own a parrot because they're far too much of a burden and live forever, but they're smart little things and always fun to encounter.

So looking at Wes Streeting, he is gay yet openly dislikes trannies. Giving very Milo Jnr vibes.

The anti-tranny stance had me thinking he might actually have some integrity, but it turns out he's just another labourist. Turns out he was a regular at Lord Alli's parties, along with Starmer, which... yeah.

And it seems, on top of requiring benefit claimants to get ozempic if they're over an arbitrary weight, he wants to fine people for missing NHS appointments. Because that has never created perverse incentives that results in more people skipping appointments. Oh no.

There's a woman who wanders around my local Asda with a parrot on her shoulder. Big old fucking Macaw, just chilling there while she shops. I've never got close enough to interact, but it's always funny to see.

Banning Christmas is Based and Redpilled is fucking retarded even for A&H
 
Of all the varieties of autistic hyperfixations on the Farms, I never expected to see "Cromwell dindu nuffin" :story:
Tell me @Monopolywheel, what part of Belfast are you from?

I am shocked, shocked that a feast literally invented by the Catholic Church would turn out to be extremely Catholic. Clearly they should have taken into account the feelings of a group of professional miserable bastards from 1600 years later

@Trig.Point , @Big Judge Cock . "The Secret Barrister" is a slimy piece of work. I don't know what his/her actual legal qualifications are and I'm not in the legal profession to claim authority myself, but back in the day he wrote some stuff on Tommy Robinson that even I could see wasn't truthful or legally supportable. Overt lies. Was about Tommy's coverage of those dudes outside court, iirc but a long time ago.

Anyway, pretty sure you've both reached your own informed conclusions on the guy but just adding a voice for the benefit of all, that he's an extremely partisan person writing for a very Midwit audience. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if one day it's revealed he's a 45 year old paralegal, rather than a barrister.

Mate he's a barrister, and a typical example of the profession.
