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.

Both can be true at the same time.

The niggers are too dumb to tell jews and whites apart so thanks to DEI overdrive places like the DNC are replacing capable jews with diversity hires, and everything they do is ending up like a (((bernie sanders))) campaign.

The jew creating the golem that destroys the jew is a tale as old as jews getting kicked out of literally of every country they’ve ever been in in history.

Not just name but spell out the correct pronunciation.

Edited to say I simply don't fucking know. Grew up very down south, lived in Scotland for a half decade and have settled somewhere in the middle. I HAVE NO IDEA how you say it but it's a scone.

And if you want to dox your socioeconomic background let's get into the,which order for jam or cream debate? Whippy cream from a can,or clotted? (Clotted obviously,only nonces consider that shit from a can,cream).

Meanwhile BBC Radio 4 this morning had on arrogant twits Sir Robert Buckland and Lord Charlie Faulkner at 7:30 AM to state that the government needs to crack down on people daring to criticise the sentencing council's decision.

"I don't see what the fuss is about"
"Read the guidelines"
"I don't understand what that could possibly mean"
"These are guidelines"
"We are all equal before the law"

Along with repeated implications that anyone saying differently to what they are is a liar.
 
Parliament is sovereign all they have to do is do their jobs and the horror can be over but clearly that's expecting too much.

Man I can't wait for the josh review of that slop, gonna make Candyman look fair and even handed.
 
I find that Australians and Canadians are similar to Brits. The natives are incredibly based or have the seed planted, but their governments have the utmost contempt with their natives.

I don't know when the welfare vote is, but a rather large faction says they will vote against, not abstain like prior. I would not be surprised if it is above 200 at this point, and there is a very easy fix.

Firstly, a cabinet reshuffle and call a coalition of the best across all party lines.

1) Non-UK-born cannot claim welfare, which is reserved for natives and parents; if non native, it makes you ineligible. This brings down the figure a lot and also sends a message to migrants that it's over.
2) Net zero gone - Milliband sacked and blamed, we do not know the full costing, but it is theorized at 100+ billion.
3) Civil service departments butchered and Whitehall shrunk. Don't even DOGE it but sledgehammer the whole thing.
4) Scrap EHRC and go full deportation, you gain massive public support but bring down a ton of stats like crime, welfare bills, and wait times for treatments. It also sends a message globally that you are ready to take control of your state.
5) Cut foreign aid and scrap Chagus.
6) An audit on quango groups and Whitehall.
7) A UK Bill of Rights proper, but also a parliamentary reform with the Lords scrapped entirely.
8) Armed patrols of the coastlines. Illegals will have no rights and will be written into our laws that all who enter illegally will have the full arm of the law. You don't leave, you die, simple. Monstrous, I know, but trying times call for monstrous acts.
9) Asylum requests are scrapped entirely and can only be opened in times of great crisis but hard capped.
9) A push for more farming as we have good soil and can support ourselves but also provide to adjacent countries like Ireland, France, Spain, and Germany.
10) Assess our key industries and push those, but develop training for mature, younger people.
11) NHS audit and scrapping of the sponsorship scheme, creating incentives for UK natives to become doctors and nurses and scrapping the bullshit hollisticbio model.
 

Justin Welby continuing to provide excuses for why he didn't deal with known nonce John Smyth, this time suggesting there were just so many nonces that had never been dealt with he got overwhelmed. Not entirely sure how that's a defence but maybe that's just me.
"Every day more cases were coming across the desk that had been in the past, hadn't been dealt with adequately, and this was just, it was another case - and yes I knew Smyth but it was an absolutely overwhelming few weeks," he said.

"It was overwhelming, one was trying to prioritise - but I think it's easy to sound defensive over this.

"The reality is I got it wrong. As Archbishop, there are no excuses."

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't all mindlessly parrot dear feeder's views. He has reason to be angry at our country (and not just because we invented cheddar); they're just cargo-culting his beliefs because e-daddy said it, so it must be the right thing to say.
