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.

No this is definitely wog, let me break it down:

Talbot Green has one of the highest black populations in Wales (it's Cardiff so go figures) so it's already an increased chance of it being a none white. 2 police officers were inured in the scuffle quite badly and a 3rd with minor injuries. A Paki is incapable of winning fights on their own and must be double in numbers and their opponent be a women so it's certainly not a Paki. Arson and other fire related activities are a popular nig pass time.

I could write more but I am confident that this crime was committed by a quiet welsh choir boy.

I looked up the ethnic make up of talbot and according to the 2021 census, it was 95% white. If those demographics have changed in 4 years, then that's a story on it's own. Not that I disagree with you, it most probably is a dindu.

If anything, they're expert at stealing properties everyone loved for decades and then shitting down the throat of its audience until they go away. Great jerb at propaganda when everyone hates your ridiculously bad media and watches something else instead.

Case in point: Doctor Who. Replace a national treasure with a shambling zombie of itself, act amazed nobody wants to watch it any more.

The Welsh have really gone downhill from when their most notable trait was failing to pay off on bets.

Well if labour stay the course you won't have a choice. They'll likely go down the route of a tax for the BBC not VAT on streaming apps. People can cancel apps. You can't cancel PAYE.
 
Had a conversation with an acquaintance who works in a nearby borough council today, in a department that is broadly responsible for youth education. Her section deals with the provision of education to undocumented and unaccompanied youth migrants. She just confirmed to me something that has been suspected for a while, but never actually proven as far as I'm aware: Official home office guidelines for these "kids" is that if they look like they're within a few years of 18, they should be treated as the age they say they are regardless of how old they actually look. No checks of any sort should be performed to ascertain their true age, as it would be considered a breach of safeguarding requirements for the treatment of children in care.
 
Update on the Talbot rozzer mayhem. A name has been released of one, Alexander Stephen Dighton, 27. No picture yet so I'll hold off on an apology the innocent Welsh wogs for now.

The Doctor is black and gay, and his assistant was a troon who passes as well as any… aka not at all:

There’s also now a troon on the writing team - Juno Dawson, who once said this:

I'm convinced that so many trannies are MtF because they've been brainwashed into false memories of thinking they always wanted to be a man. They all have the "I've always known I was a woman since X" story.

If you think it's far-fetched to be able to implant false memories in people, or, alter a real memory to recall something different, then I have some real shit to show you.

I doubt Noel could have ever thought that a song about reminiscing on a failed relationship would be turned into an anthem for “flood the country with the third world and let them kill and rape our kids” in fairness.
 
RE: the troon writer who works on Doctor Who. I couldn't tell you how any of my colleagues or friends like to fuck. I have no idea what turns them on or what they like.

Why do we have to know how these porn sick degenerate men like to have sex?

Is it just me or does anyone else think that maybe Mary Whitehouse was a bit right? When it comes to coom addled degenerates if you give an inch they'll take a mile; that is what happened and this is where we are.

Make shame and privacy and decency great again. Nobody needs to know how you like to spaff your load. Nobody cares. It's not relavent and if you've made it part of your personality you should seriously consider killing yourself.
