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 BBC pushed out an article about the poor bloke in a tribunal case regarding the poor nurse who had to deal with him. I’ve been having repeated debates with the other half about this recently but can anyone remember when the BBC was actually impartial?

In other bits of news I did have a bit of a chuckle at this post on x this morning. The telegraph has now summoned a load of enraged furries

This is either:
1, a staffer who knows exactly what furries are and has thought, ‘fuck it.’
2. A staffer who had no idea what furries are, and googled it and found the KF furries threads or similar.
Either way, it is funny.
 
I look forward to the Most Based Nurse in Fife winning at least a significant part of her tribunal case. The trannies have already jumped the shark here; they just haven't quite cottoned on to it yet.

More like Christmas ghosts because they come round every year, never in person but every holiday season I get 3-5 angry poison pen letters addressed to the tumulus in the space of a week to add to my collection under the spice cabinet; all dated between 1-Jan-25 Dec, been at it for years the sad bastards. Have yet to actually have an in person visit but I'm looking forward to it.
 
I recall mine telling me that they were coming in the middle of a weekday. As-if I'm taking time off work for that.!

I got one some years ago. I can confirm the magic question "Do you have a warrant and may I see the warrant" is as effective on them as it is on the piggies. Never let any cunt in without a warrant.

I had an Asian male one show up to my home unannounced a few weeks back. It was 0930am and I had done my "nighttime" routine, having got off a 12 hour night shift at 0700.

I was in my jammies and housecoat and opened the door and he said "I won't ask to come in as you're not dressed appropriately" to which I responded, "youre *not* coming in because you don't have a warrant nor the authority to do so" and he took umbrage at that.

I then, after telling him to piss off, called them and pulled the " I am a woman who lives alone and a domestic violence survivor, how absolutely dare you send a man to my front door, I don't even own a television, you're all idiots" card and got a grovelling, written apology a few weeks after.
 
Ninja'd I was just about to post


I cannot express how FUCKING retarded this is not for the populace but for visitors, investors and foreign business owners. The audacity of the UK government to think they can ask one of the biggest tech companies to look at their GLOBAL clients is absolutely insane. It will deter investors, visitors but make your population go underground.

Fairplay on Apple for not giving in. Think about it they are asking to look at world leaders' records essentially if they have an Apple device. A lot of security companies use Apple too since the extra security and this will 1000000% be abused.

Do you know who isn't mentioned in this article of companies that refuse to allow the UK government to spy on it's users? Microsoft.

Really makes you think.

Whatever, it's all theatre. They'll do whatever the NSA tells them to anyway, as you can't say no to the Federal Government.
 

'Based' wog says UK is mutted, muzzied, and deracinated, and that's a good thing! Are En Eight-ch Ess is also given an honourable mention as a daycare centre for retarded ape people.

Whatever grade A Copium she is on, I want some.

Another week where I live,another article on the paper about Muslim men of Pakistani origin grooming and taping white teenage girls.

A homogeneous population is a stable population. Multiculturalism has failed. It does not work.

And "brilliant NHS"?! If you just heard a whooshing noise that was my sides entering orbit.

This is the same NHS which spends tens of millions treating inflammation linked disease which could be reduced vastly by giving people access to affordable reliable dental care, but doesn't and refuses to highlight the same issue to Parliament.

Never forget that in the midst of a totes srs legit soopah srs pandemick the nurses was wasting fucking time doing tik tok videos of them dancing.

One Nurse I knew was going around half of west yorshire and Lancashire dogging then going home to his girlfriend and kids ffs.

If I took a shot every time this Poundland whoopie-goldberg said a diversity line, I would need the darkmeat nurses of the NHS to pump my liver, sacrifice a chicken and cleanse my auras to remove the negative joo-joo causing my illness.

That this jam-jar mascot has the cheek to say our country has been a wogfest success-story would be funny if it wasn't so horrifying.

Thank you for posting this. I needed a lol and that mental imagery has me cry-laughing.

For some reason it's got west African nurses saying "DOOOOOOO NNNNOOOOOTTT WREEEEGGGLLLE YOU AH MAKING EETTT WUURRRSSSE!" in my head. (You know the kind of accent I mean, right? My inherent racism aside I do have a soft spot for that accent. It tickles me).

If every woman in your country were like you, your country would actually be in good shape.
