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.

Okay, thank you for explaining. I agree with your hypothesis. It's people like him that make me hate stoners so much. You can have your weed, but just smoke at home or take edibles or something. I seriously don't understand how these people cannot live without weed man.

He seems to think that because he has a prescription he is immune to prosecution.
It’s illegal in England, Scotland and Wales to drive with legal drugs in your body if it impairs your driving

He's a moron. I also suspect he's not going to have fun wherever he goes if he thinks his medical prescription for cannabis is going to be effortlessly provided in whichever country he goes to.
 

"Diversity is our strength" apparently entails importing all sorts of race wars to the streets of London

https://metro.co.uk/2025/01/21/mask...don-cinema-shouting-down-with-india-22401965/

A group of masked men stormed a west London cinema shouting ‘down with India’ during a Bollywood film leaving customers ‘terrified’.
Footage shows the group interrupting a screening of the film ‘Emergency’ at Harrow Vue Cinema on Sunday night.
Saloni Belaid, who had bought tickets to the film, said the men had pushed themselves past staff members and shouted ‘down with India’ after the film was dibbed ‘anti-Sikh’.
She said: ‘It was really chaotic and scary. Ninety-five per cent of the audience cleared out while they were intimidating everyone whereas my friends and I stayed to confront them.
‘This was masked men shouting in the dark – we didn’t what their intentions were. It was frightening.’

The movie is based on that time when Indira Gandhi declared a national emergency and just arrested everyone she didn’t like, on top of doing millions of forced sterilizations.
She told Times of India cinema staff did not come to help, and despite police arriving within 10 minutes they did not stop the group as they were exercising their right to protest.
Saloni said the men were part of the Khalistan separatist movement which aims to create a homeland for Sikhs.
The Hindi film Emergency has been dubbed ‘Anti-Sikh’ with protests also being held across the Midlands.
Viewings have been cancelled at Cineworlds in Wolverhampton and Birmingham.
Rashmi Chaubey, who posted the footage onto Facebook, said: ‘It’s a completely frightening and intimidating experience when 20+ men with masked faces and carrying a kirpan entered and blocked the exit in a dark theatre.
‘They were finally able to shut the movie. Police could not do anything and said it is their right to protest.
‘It marks a sad day where the right to protest was weaponised to suppress freedom of expression.’
…
The Sikh Press Association described the movie as ‘anti-Sikh Indian state propaganda’.
They said: ‘It provably displays inaccurate information which maligns revered Sikh figures. Such content perpetuates anti-Sikh hate and Indian state stereotypes demonizing the community, which makes up approximately just two per cent of India.
‘The theatres showing this nationalist propaganda are supporting something which poses a danger to Sikh communities today, justifying anti-Sikh hate, which is currently a major concern amid an uptake in India’s transnational violence.’

It probably was anti-Sikh propaganda. Maybe. Who Cares.

But why is this in the UK?

Who is supposed to benefit from this retarded faggotry?


Oh, and there’s only one Sikh court in the world, and it’s in London.
 
So Axel Rudakabubakaboobamabissomabangombongo, the "poor oppressed Welsh choirboy", has been sentenced to 52 years, a sentence I consider unjustly lenient as his fate should've been that in picrel, strung up by a meathook from his ribcage and left to rot. Our dear leader Sir Queer Stalin, meanwhile, has gone off on a weird rant about how "lonely misfit men" are to blame for this happening, rather than the schizoid subhuman whose family he helped to bring over here in his woke human rights lawyer days. I hate chimp ape child killing niggers from the bottom of my heart.

If I had my way he would have been thrown naked into the town centre of Southport with a horde of angry locals surrounding him and from there we just let nature take it's course.

Also fuck niggers.
 
No such thing as UK Law. There is English/Welsh and Scottish and Northern Irish.

Drug driving is a separate offense under Scots Law. Not sure about England/Wales and NI.

The father of Sara Sharif, who beat his daughter to death with a cricket bat, has already been attacked in prison. In all likelihood the same will apply here.
 
I know I don’t have to say this to the regulars in the thread, but to the stalker weirdos who are thread banned and reading this be very careful what you say online.

The government and establishment desperately need so very white bad guys at the moment and I can honestly see anti-terrorist legislation being used against teenagers posting Pepe the Frog memes to get the press to talk about something else.

Labour taking credit for a new contract with Rolls Royce, the negotiations for which started before they were elected. edit: Still. At least we'll actually be manufacturing something in the country for a change.

Rolls-Royce strikes £9bn nuclear submarine deal

A £9bn deal for nuclear submarine reactors has been agreed between the Ministry of Defence and Rolls-Royce - the biggest ever between the two.

Defence Secretary John Healey announced the agreement on Friday during a visit to the firm's nuclear reactor production facility in Derby.

The eight-year contract, called Unity, is designed to make the design, manufacture and support services for reactors more efficient and environmentally friendly.

It is hoped it will create more than 1,000 UK jobs and safeguard 4,000 other roles.

The government said the agreement would streamline previous contracts and incentives, and provide more efficient delivery, leading to savings of £400m.

As well as providing support to the current UK Royal Navy submarine fleet, Unity includes the build and commission of new Dreadnought Class submarines and the beginning of contracts for the new Aukus defence alliance.

In March 2023, it was announced Rolls-Royce would provide the reactors for the new fleet of nuclear submarines in a defence agreement between the UK, US and Australia.

The submarines will be built in Britain and Australia but use technology from all three countries.

The company opened a new Nuclear Skills Academy in Derby in 2022, designed to provide 200 apprenticeships each year for at least a decade.

Healey used the visit to highlight the government's "triple lock" on the nuclear deterrent, which includes building four new nuclear submarines in Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria, maintaining the UK's continuous at sea nuclear deterrent and delivering all future upgrades needed.

He said: "This investment in Britain's defence will deliver a long-term boost to British business, jobs and national security.

"In line with our Plan for Change, external, this deal with Rolls-Royce, a historic British success story, will support high-skilled UK jobs, who equip the thousands of submariners that keep us all safe.

"We are showing defence can be an engine for growth, while also driving better value for taxpayer money."

Steve Carlier, president of Rolls-Royce Submarines, said: "We're delighted to announce the Unity contract, which confirms our commitment to the Royal Navy and the Defence Nuclear Enterprise.

"This long-term contract enables us to invest in the right skills, equipment and facilities to play our part in protecting UK interests at home and overseas."

'World class workforce'

Rolls-Royce Submarines is already doubling the size of its Raynesway site and has recently started moving into specially-built warehouses in Pride Park.

General secretary of the Unite union, Sharon Graham, said: "This announcement is good news for British jobs, good news for Derby and good news for our economy.

"Rolls-Royce has a world class workforce and the government is right to invest in it.

"UK defence spending must be used to promote decent quality jobs and skills and to protect our manufacturing base.

"The government must now follow the same principles when making major defence spending decisions in future, including on fast jet planes and Army helicopters."
 
How the fuck is hair color a protected characteristic, the equality act gets nothing but abused but when you have actual people that need to use it they get shunted because they don't cowtail. I feel since August this government has become an utter clown show. My spouse and I have decided near the end of the year to start the visa process. University culture is so venomous and nothing but ego with no care for facts. For me freedom of speech is a massive element it is what we hunted Nazis for and poor Winston would be spinning in his grave. I feel this year there is going to be an even greater push on freedom of speech suppression and Starmer's retarded choice of looking to join this new EU clique says everything about our economy.
