UK British News Megathread - aka CWCissey's news thread

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.

If you wanted to be fucked in the ass so bad then go join the young conservatives and stop shitting up my mumsnet alternative with your faggotry.

I didn't use this forum to get dicked down you stupid retard. I was reached out to by Crunckle and my grief/emootions got the better of me, that was my mistake yes. I'm not shitting up this thread, who was the one that posted my doxx here?

Mumsnet alternative? Enough said.

Ok faggot

Also, in the UK none of us actually own any land, it is all property of the crown and a freehold only amounts to an allowance from the King for you to use that land. You're legally a little subject whether you like it or not

If you're really unlucky you can be forced into bankruptcy if the local church needs doing up.

Mumsnet alternative? Enough said

Mumsnet and Tattle are to be respected as bizarro British versions of KiwiFarms who also refuse to bend the knee, young man. I don't particularly like the forum atmosphere on either, but they're useful sources of information on a lot of BritCows.

 

[>IMPLYING]

I guess this sums up the British electorate, a faggot takes up the news more than other international affairs.

>implying they're not equally worthless

Grieving so hard you just had to try to goon on poor ole Crunk. Oh that's right, it was just banter and you dindu nuffin.

If you're really unlucky you can be forced into bankruptcy if the local church needs doing up.

If you have good solicitors / surveyors they should point this risk out to you before you buy. It is even possible to take out church chancel liability insurance. As always, caveat emptor.

You the fuck gives a fuck about international affairs when some flaming homegrown homosexual is being flamed?
You deserve it for being a sperging, mincing autist with no humour.

I'd still fuck you though. Slide into my DMs.

It was a running joke(?) that I kept asking him to slide into my DMs and that I was going to fuck him when he was pretending to be a woman.

Some of the replies are absolute autism sauce - 'they're banning Kneecap, but allowing the Orange Order march to take place? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!'

There is a difference between the two...

That was the MDMA.

It stands for "man-dick my arse" and don't let them convince you otherwise.

Being a wannabe janny faggot is also a bannable offence, let the rats have fun.
