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.

Why is it that the UK specifically is going all in on Ukraine? Has Starmer actually gone completely mental? Why are we hell-bent on perpetual war in Ukraine, no matter the consequences?

Because it is the right thing to do.

If you are a true British patriot you would support Ukraines sovereignty and independence against Russia. Russia has always been Britains enemy and can never be trusted.

Waiting for the zigger who comfortably lives within the EU but moans about the Uk and how shit the west is to neg rate me.

Not one I've heard before. If it is the case, then whoever fed it to him has balls bigger than Thatcher. I doubt he'll last long enough to implement it, but there's plenty he can fuck up in the meantime.

Is this the kind if minor but embarrassing thing they deliberately don’t fix to have a minor bit of kompromat? Or do they not give a shit at government level and told mi5 to bog off? I’m just very curious how this went down.

Unless I'm mistaken, the secret services can advise, and the PM can ignore them at his leisure. That's most likely what happened; Starmer wanted his rockstar laydeez cabinet and damn the consequences, which is why we have Rachel from Support and an actual fraudster in the anti-fraud role at Treasury. I'm just waiting to see what else comes out next. Will we find out Bridget Phillipson failed her GCSEs?
 
Just a reminder if your Monday sucked and you're feeling kack, at least you're not Keir Starmer. That sack of utter shite is in for a tough week.

We've got attention being called to GMP going to people's homes to tell them off for badnaughtyhurtymeanie words online. Twitter has caught onto some branches of Five Guys sneaking in totally halal food. One of the Labour cabinet has been caught saying he's a solicitor on LinkedIn when he's no such thing. Economy is fucked.

I wonder if he wakes in dead of night panicking because he knows he is so hated? It must weigh on him knowing so many would turn and walk away if they saw him being physically harmed.

@Bog-standard Poster trump would just do the ‘brave American citizens under threat, weak limeys and surrender monkeys wimped out, we are sending people.’ I don’t think that’d be enough leverage.

It depends on the situation. Would the US want to get in a tit-for-tat exchange with Russia? Would Putin rather have American troops or Brit-frog troops?
Either way it won't happen because Starmer is a mong.
BRB doing a tenner for calling queer starmer a mong on the internet.

He doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't feel emotion. He is unwavering bland globohomo in human form. He never changes his mind on any political decision. He will never back down from Ukraine. He doesn't care what his voters think.

Hey, Mongs can't help it. Mitotic spindle fibre failure ain't their fault. Starmer, on the other hand, has intentionally whored himself out to the WEF and good lord knows who else in exchange for whatever it is he saw fit. He's also an adulterer who sired a bastard outside of marriage and he lets lord ali batter down his back doors in exchange for suits and glasses and they took out super injunction in England and Wales to forbid the press from ever mentioning this and the best bit is, they think nobody knows about it.

Downs kids have their issues but not their fault.

You are absolutely correct and downs kids should not be compared to this spineless bit of wet boiled ham. I apologise unreservedly to all children and adults with Downs, i didn’t mean to offend them.
Perhaps I might issue a correction? ‘Kier starmer is a revolting, queer, invertebrate, minimally intelligenced sack of shit, with eyes like two pissholes in the snow.’

I would legitimately go for the most aggressive difficult to handle, personality challenged downs adult in number ten over the absolute fuck show we have at present.

At least you know where you stand with people with downs. I've met more than a few through a voluntary job I did for a time and they ranged from your stereotypical docile, pliant, sunshine personified little rainbow of happiness to violent, aggressive and downright scary (as an aside, the aggressive ones tended to be more aware of their situation and limitations and their behavior was borne out of complete,abject frustration which was actually kinda heartbreaking) but all of them, to a one, lacked the ability to lie and deceive. It wasn't in them at all.

We could do with a bit of honesty in power.
 
As much as I don't like Kemi Bathing Nog, I do think she'll do ok as Tory leader. Maybe won't be PM, but I feel like she's a bit more of a hardliner then some of the weakass centrist, gloabalist Tories we've seen fuck up the country the last 14 years.

Let's face it, half the Tories are spineless elitist cunts anyway. She might be the one to bring them back in line. Labour can only fuck up so many times. The opposition will have to take advantage of it sometime.

Or I could be wrong and she drowns in a bathtub.

Because she can't swim.
 
I enjoy saying loudly in public places that Kneeler Keir takes it up the shitpipe from a paki to get his suits and spectacles. I also enjoy hearing people audibly gasp when I say starmer is an adulterer who has a bastard and who silenced the press.

Oh and the five guys thing? I saw that and emailed them to ask if true. They confirmed it was a "trial"but we all know they'll sneak it on through the back door (probably keirs).

Halal meat tastes wank, the ethics aside. Scared animals make for bad meat.


Muslims don't know what good meat is and allah was a pedophile. Muslims are pedo worshippers.
