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 don't not care for the geo politics of Eastern Europe, nor do I care for the debate on if Ukraine is a real country or not. All that matters to me is the fact the Kier Starmer is 100% a faggot and nothing is going to convince me otherwise.

Malcolm X inspired Eldridge Cleaver into raping random White women as an insurrectionist act of rebellion against racism lmao. THIS IS CELEBRATED BLACK LITERATURE AND ASSIGNED READING IN ACADEMIA.
"I became a rapist. To refine my technique and modus operandi, I started out by practicing on black girls in the ghetto—in the black ghetto where dark and vicious deeds appear not as aberrations or deviations from the norm, but as part of the sufficiency of the Evil of a day—and when I considered myself smooth enough, I crossed the tracks and sought out white prey. I did this consciously, deliberately, willfully, methodically—though looking back I see that I was in a frantic, wild, and completely abandoned frame of mind. Rape was an insurrectionary act. It delighted me that I was defying and trampling upon the white man's law, upon his system of values, and that I was defiling his women—and this point, I believe, was the most satisfying to me because I was very resentful over the historical fact of how the white man has used the black woman. I felt I was getting revenge. " - Soul On Ice: Collected Essays

Amazingly Eldridge Cleaver is a huge source of inspiration to Tariq Na Sneed on his theory of BUCKBREAKING
"The black homosexual, when his twist has a racial nexus, is an extreme embodiment of this contradiction. The white man has deprived him of his masculinity, castrated him in the center of his burning skull, and when he submits to this change and takes the white man for his lover as well as Big Daddy, he focuses on “whiteness” all the love in his pent up soul and turns the razor edge of hatred against "blackness"—upon himself, what he is, and all those who look like him, remind him of himself." - Soul On Ice: Collected Essays

The language that Russians use, Cyrillic, is Bulgarian. They invented it and the Russians adopted it when they liberated them.

So to say he's a russian speaking romanian ukrainian, is like saying he's a scottish speaking american brit.

I continued to be proven correct that the pakis have taken over. Once they have enough power, a call to arms will go up and it's game over.

They've already started the predictive programming of islamic ways of life by polluting TV and the Internet by glorifying polygamy, mainly by showing men with multiple beautiful white wives so that the idea becomes appealing.
They're also quietly pushing propaganda to get women to cover up. At the moment it's clothing the extreme whores in society, but it will creep to having to wear a head scarf.

I've never understood american's fascination with posting shit like this as some lame gotcha, it's like they've never looked at their own country. Fun fact of the 10 largest cities in America there are exactly 2 white mayors. 4 if you count jews as white.

Man banned from every Greggs
A prolific shoplifter has been banned from every Greggs in England and Wales after repeatedly stealing.
Patrick Verry, who's 33, of no fixed address, admitted six counts of theft after he was caught by plain-clothed police officers at a branch in north London.

The chain announced this week that it's moving some products behind counters to deter thieves.
Releasing the bodycam video on social media, the Metropolitan Police described the outcome as the "end of his sausage roll era".

N'wah I'm gonna respect the sanctity of Greggs by not defiling this sacred space with hoholstani vs vatnigger sperging, and will therefore limit my response to your ruzznig brainrot to a single image;

That's a painting of the Zaporizian Cossaks - a predominantly Russian area. Galacia (where the Ukrainian speakers predominate) was over to the West. I get that you don't give a shit about details but even your Fuck Off image is wrong. Still, points for being better informed than @Bog-standard Poster who thinks Cyrillic is a language and that Russian is a dialect Bulgarian.

I now (hopefully) return us all to discussing Greggs.

You know what I meant when I said Cyrillic. The alphabet invented by the bulgarians and used by the ruskies. Russian being a dialect of Bulgarian is the best way to describe how close the languages are.

Don't be autistic.

No they don't. There's partial intelligibility but not even to the extent that Belorussian or Ukrainian would be to a Russian
