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.

I’ve been using ivpn for a long time now, like Mullvard, you can pay with bitcoin and cash without any details other than account number. In my use case, I think it worked out cheaper (7 licenses for 3 years) and would recommend as never had problems. They also have a seriously good (free) blog with articles about privacy and security for those that are interested.

I’ve been expecting the geo-block for sometime now and because I’m a cynical, paranoid fuck, I’m expecting them to go after VPNs at some point. Nool is absolutely right in protecting himself, the site and us lot (from ourselves). Let some other website be the canary in the coalmine this time.
 
Don't rely just on software protection for mobile access to the farms free speech. sim toolkits have been a thing since the 00's. Remember people have been caught by phones following the same location patterns.

Good luck with that. X is the most used news source on the planet and the majority of UK buissnesses have customer support and help routed through it at a minimum

Going after X would cripple a lot of things.

X already fully cooperate with the police. Free Speech Sigma Male Elon will give your entire Twitter history to the police and all the information they have on you if they simply ask.

Don't fedpost and you'll be fine up. People were calling David Lammy a nigger behind VPNs on Twitter a while back and the police gave up as soon as they realised they would have to do some extra work. This was despite Lammy kicking up a massive fuss about it.

As long as you're not posting child porn or plotting terror attacks or regular murder then the police aren't going to hunt you down as soon as they see you're behind a VPN.

GCHQ can see who you are no matter how much opsec you practice, so don't be a knob and attract the attention of the Security Services.

There's a good chance things are REALLY going to kick off once the weather gets better. Just eat you sausage roll from Greggs, enjoy the chaos, and don't say anything that would give the FBI cause to also get interested in you and pass your details onto the UK police. Do not engage with the policemen in the British Summer of Discontent thread. I may sound a bit tinfoil hat but that thread is full of posters who reek of bacon. Don't be like the weird Wallace and Gromit guy and start posting instruction on making explosives and details of his stockpile of them.

We'll probably see a big case soon about how they caught some l33t hacker posting heckin' hate speech on X who was using a VPN but I'll bet the idiot will have posted so much biographical details they may as well have used their real name and photo.

I'd advise everyone to sprinkle in a couple of lies here and there when they speak about their personal life. If you have attracted the attention of someone who glows slightly this will throw them off. It also has the added benefit of driving autists on here insane as they can't comprehend that people can lie on the internet.

Stay safe, Kiwi bros. It's going to be a depressingly interesting couple of years ahead of us. Insulate yourself in real life. Keep your heads down. Don't express your opinions openly unless with friends.

We'll all deserve a bean and sausage bake along with a fudge doughnut once all this is over.

So what does apple’s private relay do then?
I thought it anonymised your ip address and only apple can release who,what , where , when accessed a website. I know it doesn’t change country but it defo puts weird geolocation endpoints when I mess with whatsmyip and all that.

2nd thought. Does someone at ofcom have shares in a vpn provider ?

Even if not this summer, it's inevitable that there WILL be more violence at some point, this is the climate our establishment has created through their ineptitude and maliciousness. Last summer was just the portent of things to come.
 
Why does our government hate us for using the farms? I mainly use it to keep up to date with my favourite deathfat lolcow and sometimes engage in high level autism..is that a bloody crime?

Because they long decided that gossiping about fat peadophile troons is bullying, like what they did to our terf queen Caroline farrow. I posted it about the mermaids thread but the recent Newman v Met case it came out these terfs were being watched by counter terrorism plods & they were upset they couldn’t find anything illegal to get them with. Naturally there were some activist troons involved in their internal LGBT network. They were probably also upset during the summer riots they couldn’t get anybody on this site too.

Yeah, it's so weird that suddenly all these guys with IP address in random third world countries are posting in a thread about UK politics! Well, I'm sure everything's above board.

Also, I just love that at the top of every page is the original story about the Greggs vegan sausage roll; it makes it seem like everything that happened since is just downstream of that. Looks like it didn't work out so hot...

>concern trolling

>straight up lying

And you're warning everyone else of Feds..? Seriously? You called UKIP a honeypot! The swinger-in-chief, Tenconi, is apparently working for MI5.

This has been a pattern of years with you, specifically, either being caught bullshitting or inventing reasons to be suspicious of others. You are just a Leftist fanatic who touches himself while imagining his opponents being slammed by negros in political prisons.

In reality, I'm more afraid of Null than I am of the British police. I haven't had so much as a glance from the authorities, despite what you've been claiming for over six months.

Null, on the other hand, actually puts the work in to publicly humiliate his enemies. You should be more concerned about the site owner himself dragging you into his dungeon.

Follow the site rules, and the de-facto site rule that British posters should use a VPN.

Don't sit around acting as if your blatant shilling for the current government's authoritarianism is anything close to reality.

I’m sorry if reality offends you.

If you want to step outside and start the revolution I’m not stopping you.

Have a second of reading would have told them why they could. Everyone is wise to their shit.

Like when it’s a common joke by the normies that the feds are monitoring their accounts they are certainly not going to find anything on anyone even more clued in.

We’re all just seeing how many bennies we can get and how to answer the asylum questions.

See what I mean?

Concern trolling, baiting, and what I assumed was a gimmick, calling everyone Feds.

Please, give me your honest answer - what do you think of Elon Musk? Is he a danger to our democracy??


It's the modern equivalent of the Brass Bull or the Iron Maiden - the inhumane and bizarre punishments of a particular place and time.

The 1700s had gibbeting, and modern Anglo-American culture adopted "the rape negro" - wherein the condemned are used as sex toys by black slaves.

It even has a similarly innocuous euphemism - dropping the soap.

You are a defective-cocked, fed-posting, glow-in-the-dark NCA nigger.

Post again about how you're manufacturing energetics from adblue, I want to see you speedrun a ban
