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.

Local party will definitely conspire to bury this. As much as the sting video is enough for me, these are much harder convictions to stick in the UK. This is too embarrassing for Labour to acknowledge and too legally ambiguous for any major news org to run with.

Like someone else said, this will be memory holed very quickly and they'll make him take a quiet backseat in politics.

Memory holing only works if we forget about it.

I'd been planning on writing to my MP to take a pop at her for being pro paki rape gangs,so she can have a dig for being part of a party which loves nonces and all. That cunt can do what she likes but she cannot tell herself that people don't see her and her party for what they are because I write to her and tell her fairly regularly.
 
This is politically timed to divert attention from the Pakistani Muslim rape gangs.
You don’t get yourself arrested after a bunch of tracksuit wearing proles convince you that you were talking to a 15 year old and to meet up whilst risking spending a bunch of years waiting to get stabbed on the nonce wing of a prison to help the government out.

Also, if you wanted to distract from a paedophile scandal you wouldn’t get arrested for being a paedophile.

Also, ITV news and the BBC, which is how most people get the news these days, are doing their best not to cover it.

This doesn’t glow, it’s just a pervert being a pervert.

What we should be asking is how did no one take one look at his twitter feed and not guess his was a wrong ‘un. Does no one get vetted these days?
 
He won't go to jail,the judiciary is made up of pedos and pedo enablers. He'll get told to go out and make friends.

The fact nobody saw his gross twitter feed as a concern shows the level of people in politics.

Maybe this doesn't glow but British politics and public bodies and politicians of all stripes are pedos.

And gay men are most inclined to be pedos as well.

No, it happened on YOUR watch.

Naturally this will likely be used as an excuse to pass some draconian internet regulation laws, so look forward to that.

I’m betting we won’t find out as they will “forget” to report the court proceedings.
 
I don't think it will even reach court, it will be quietly dropped by the DPP and you won't hear anything more about it. Men protect men, pedos protect pedos.
And the British elite and their bodies are degenerate the entire way through, at all levels.

Older I get more I think scrapping section 28 and becoming tolerant of poofters was a mistake. It's not normal, it's not okay and this is where it gets you. Sure this degeneracy always existed. But seriously look at caplins twitter. It's disgusting.

Perhaps if we weren't so accepting of the shirt lifters and so okay with the notion of "pride" we would have questioned him and his perversion.
 
scrapping section 28 and becoming tolerant of poofters
It's more the fact that gay men managed to get themselves 'in' with the leftist crowd. I've met gay men who are incredibly misogynistic and women haters but because they're gay they get a pass with it. No one challenges this behaviour so any further depraved fantasies these people have never get picked up on. Gay men adopting children should always be incredibly suspicious for the fundamental reason that 95% of pedos are men and there will be absolutely no one with regular close contact with that child who isn't a man.

Nothing wrong with being gay in principle but unfortunately it has just led to men behaving in ways that means their most egregious behaviour just gets reinforced by other men.

He is indeed disgusting and should be punished, but you can not group all homosexual men into that category. If you want to, then I suppose you don't like or agree with people being gay and want to use these stories to reinforce your already-held beliefs, which is fine and judging from your posts is accurate.

His Twitter is not surprising to me, Twitter is mostly used for porn nowadays by gay and straight men/women, not sure why he thought using his official account was a good idea but there isn't anything inherently wrong with liking gay porn of hot, younger-looking (of legal age) people. Is it weird that a grown, old-ish man likes younger men? I find it creepy, but the same could be said for a large proportion of straight men, celebrities, and politicians of the like. HOWEVER, he had other disgusting motives and interests that are separate from most (gay) men.

This is all on Labour and those surrounding him, who enabled him and turned a blind eye to his sick fantasies and actions.

I used to take a live and let live approach to homosexuals. They wanted to live as they did, fine. They just wanted same rights as we did and that's totally okay right?

And then it became apparent that gay men are for the overwhelming part,predators. Domestic violence and coercive and controlling behaviour rates are insanely high, far more so pro rata than in heterosexual couples.

Fucking underage people is the norm in the gay community and nobody cares.

Then along came stonewall and mermaids and the trans movement and pride carnivals. Jesus Christ the pride festivals.

If I am now a frothing at the gash homophobe it is because it all started with being tolerant and accepting and here we are with the absolute botched abortion things are these days.

It's not like how I think and feel is anomalous. Go into any working class pub or sit and listen to people and more and more of us feel like the gays have pushed and pushed and pushed and now we've got literal pedos in authority enabling other pedos and Pakis being pedos and you can't. Say. Shit. Because apparently the worst thing you can be these days is "unkind".
 
Homosexuals of all stripes are just mentally ill. They are defective people, something is wrong with them. The only difference between being gay and being depressed, or schizophrenic is that we decided a while back that being gay isn't a mental illness; when it most certainly is. If you are born - as an animal, which you are - and instead of desiring your literal perfect opposite, you instead want to copulate with others like you, there is a defect with your mind.

Being gay shouldn't be socially acceptable and we should be looking for ways to help the people afflicted with it. The long road to accepting the insanity we have now; and the insanity coming down the pipeline began with the "Gay Rights" movement. A movement which itself initially prided itself on disease seeking behavipur, pedophilia, and extreme sexual practices. There is no 'teehee keep it to yourself' because they never do. Much in the same way that the screaming man having a schizoid delusion on the bus was never going to keep it to himself unless he was made to. This applies to dykes ballooning out, dressing up as blokes, shaving their heads nd calling themselves Patty, to the lipstick lesbians they beat, to the fairies mincing around calling themselves "Doreen", to the hairy dudes in the biker gear. It's all a symptom of a deep sickness of the mind.

Fucking a man, as a man, and fucking a woman, as a woman, is as much a mental illness as wanting to fuck a toaster.
 
Just a thought. Bread and circuses. A distraction story about pedos (islamic and labour) from musk and a few mps filling the news for a week. Takes our minds off the farmers and our basic food needs getting shafted.

Support your local dairy farmer, it's easy, most of them have vending machines and take cards now.

I have to strong disagree, fellow Warwick Davis enjoyer. I know some pretty based gay people. Mainly lesbians but a couple of decent lads too.

There’s a weird sickness in gay culture that seems to think all men should be running around with newly divorced dad energy for their entire lives.

I have known quite a few absolutely deviant straight men and women and the difference is we don’t blame them being straight for their behaviour.

If they kept it private, like swingers used to before all the polyamory nonsense, and took precautions no one would care. It’s how we’re all supposed to applaud risky sexual and treat any condemnation as genocide which I have an issue with.

Sorry for the moral fagging. Also, fuck Owen Jones. I hope he catches something slow, painful, and there’s no treatment for.

How the fuck is Owen Jones still a thing? I thought all he does now is virtue signal on twitter,

Obviously I disagree with you both on the 'Gay Question' - and possibly the midge question, but that can shelved for later spergy rants of mine - but Own Jones is a particularly gross individual. I thought he'd been replaced with another 'soft boi' spastic by the name of Benjamin Butterworth, who is just as odious as Jones, but younger.

Jones though should be shot with paintball guns until he stops being such a faggot - entirely separate from the gay thing, which he should also stop - because he's just gross. I legit get a reaction where I want to put him, and everyone who acts like him a wheelie bin. It's this bizarre soft and fluffy masculinity thing he does; which every so often he sheds and reveals he's a deeply angry person, with a lake of resentment boiling under the surface. Jones was one of the people that casually called for violence against his political opponents; and then when someone beat him up, cried that anyone calling for violence was a monster. Absolute sociopath.

EDIT: Reminds me of an English and nancy version of Ted from 'Jingle all the way'. Pure snake.

I think the important thing we can all agree on is that Owen Jones should be banned from the internet.
I've looked at some other sources and if I have to guess it seems the 'harmful content' was essential videos or images that glorified or romanticised self harm
It's slightly more specific than that:
Of 16,300 pieces of content saved, liked or shared by Molly on Instagram in the six months before she died, 2,100 were related to suicide, self-harm and depression. She last used her iPhone to access Instagram on the day of her death, at 12.45am. Two minutes before, she had saved an image on the platform that carried a depression-related slogan.

It was on Instagram – the photo-, image- and video-sharing app – that Molly viewed some of the most disturbing pieces of content, including a montage of graphic videos containing clips relating to suicide, depression and self-harm set to music. Some videos contained scenes drawn from film and TV, including 13 Reasons Why, a US drama about a teenager’s suicide that contained episodes rated 15 or 18 in the UK. In total, Molly watched 138 videos that contained suicide and self-harm content, sometimes “bingeing” on them in batches including one session on 11 November.
However, in the last few hours of her life – and for some months before – the teenager had been viewing graphic content concerning self-harm and suicide on sites such as Instagram and Pinterest. Among the hundreds of accounts she followed were around 50 using tags such as “lonely”, “sad” or “depressed”. As Russell has said, “What we found was just horrendous. They seemed to be completely encouraging of self-harm, linking depression to self-harm and to suicide, making it seem inevitable, normal, graphically showing things like cutting, biting, burning, bruising, taking pills… That’s what began it. There’s no doubt that Instagram played a part in Molly’s death.” When he studied his daughter’s emails, he was shocked to see that Pinterest had been sending Molly automated messages, effectively inviting her to look at disturbing images. “In the same way that someone who has shown an interest in a particular sport may be shown more and more posts about that sport, the same can be true of topics such as self-harm or suicide. They were actually emailing her pictures of self-harm.”
It's worth noting that Molly took her life in 2017 and Meta products like Instagram look very different now - they banned a lot of that sort of thing by 2019 as a direct result of Molly and similar cases. However 13 Reasons Why is an interesting point. If you're not familiar with the show (which came out in 2017), it's about a teenage girl who decides to kill herself and makes a list of the 13 people she blames for making her so depressed - so she records tapes explaining that "Jess blamed me for her breakup" or "Courtney spread rumours about me" and then basically the tapes mean she gets revenge from beyond the grave and everyone who wronged her faces consequences because her suicide meant they finally had to pay attention to her and realise the harm they'd done.

Psychologists at the time lost their minds over this because this is the exact opposite of how you're supposed to handle something like suicide in media directed at teenagers (they said the same thing about the book it was based on) because it goes against everything we know about preventing suicide contagion - glamorising suicide and making it seem like a reasonable way to deal with life stress and trauma or the inevitable choice she had to make. I believe it was linked with multiple spikes in teen suicide around the world because so many teenagers watched it and took away that sort of message - I'm willing to guess Molly probably watched it, given she'd saved so many clips and edits. Nevertheless, Ian Russell is not going after Netflix or the associated production company.

If you read his letter (bottom of this article) one bit caught my eye:
However, this is a time when platforms readily say they will now 'catch less of the bad stuff'; allow underdeveloped AI to generate and spread disinformation; and promote targeted and polarising content leading to isolation and despair. We have now entered a different era, and we will need a different regulatory approach that can address it.
I can be sympathetic for a bereaved father trying to get social media to stamp out content that glorifies self harm and suicide - to the point of sending automated emails encouraging a teenage girl to go look at more self harm pictures. I think he should not have left a 14 year old with unfiltered internet access on her phone, but I can still be sympathetic. However he achieved that ban and he's now just going after things more generally. Molly didn't take her life because of "polarising content" or "disinformation".

Interesting point you make here. My current book for my train commute to work ( I only do it to scare the normals away from me ) -

I've only got through the first 40 odd pages, but already it has stressed time and time again the requirement of the state to own the means of production - primarily agriculture.
Curious that one of Starmer's first moves is to attempt to tax all the small holdings out of business. Wonder how far down the road we are to food shortages and then only members of the Party being fed ?
 
Anyone who has had to plan their child's funeral is to be pitied imo. Poor bastard.

However anyone who neglects their child by allowing unfettered, unmonitored access to the Internet is a moron of the worst kind.
