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.

Sure, it looks pretty ancient (still has a QR code tho).

Still, am I wrong in my understanding that commie nonsense is way more explicit and open in the UK?

To be fair, I suppose we do get some of that in the US, but it's more of a west coast thing. They're way more scared of spooking the boomers with the C word on the east coast. (Don't get me wrong, they still have 100% of the same retarded ideas, they just know they need to use euphemisms.)

Lol I saw this one today:

Fatalism. If god wanted it in a bin, he would have put one where they were throwing it. God didn't put a bin there, so god wants it on the floor. Plus they just don't care. Living in filth is less effort than cleaning. Cleaning requires thinking beyond their immediate gratification.
 
Not sure if it was posted yet, but Coinbase (a crypto company) put out an advert that sum up the current (absolute) state of the UK that was banned by Starmer's regime for "being too political."


Everything! Is fine!

Good. I had the extreme displeasure of going to an NHS run hospital a few months back as the Nbugus on the ward had decided that my father, who was extremely ill, was fit to be discharged. When I found him, he was curled up in a ball in pain and hadn't been given any pain medication at all. There wasn't a single white person working on the ward, and zero assistance was provided to help even move him from the ward.
He died 2 days after being discharged from the hospital.
I suppose he had decided he wanted to go surrounded by loved ones and not soulless bug eyed subhumans, and I can't really blame him for that.

Omg frendo I am so so sorry for your loss and for your pain. I truly and really am. I don't know what else to say and I am beyond sorry I do not have better words.

I know that this is some sort of insincere reddit-ish sympathy reply, but that's not what I posted for.
This is like the 5th relative I have that have had their life cut short because of stupid niggers and pakis in the NHS.
I posted it not for personal sympathies, I posted it because this thing is happening a lot in this country.
This is the new norm, at least for me.
 
My uncle was declared literally brain dead by NHS monkey docs and when saying his goodbyes to him, my Grandad walked out and said "He said he's not dying." Turns out he was not in fact, completely brain dead. Fucking insane.

I am on good terms with an Indian orthopedic surgeon who works in the NHS. The man is insanely talented. He specialises in putting people who have been through serious trauma back together. I once asked him what drew him to his career, and he said he loves anatomy, physiology and jigsaw puzzles.

If you get in a car crash and your legs are pink -misted, he is absolutely who you would want putting you back together. His work is incredible and proof to me, surgeons are flesh artists.

That is the only scenario where we should be letting someone in the country. Someone with real, concrete talent and exceptional skills. He works, pays his taxes and heals the most pitifully broken in the most literal sense, in our society.

Is it crap we don't have anyone comparable here? Sure. It is. But he's here and doing good and plans to return home in a few years, having done incredible good here in the meantime.

Anyone else, can fuck off. We are full. We don't have the resources. Our own are hungry, homeless and hopeless.

Maybe the solution to the immigration problem lies there?
An immigrant gets a native sponsor who assures their good behaviour.
If immigrant does not stay on his best behaviour, then he's deported and the sponsor receives some kind of censuring or punishment.

I think we all got our own Indian ortho. I've got the Turkish man who worked in a cafe and saved my grandma's life after she had a heart attack by performing CPR until the Ambulance arrived. Chunky Salsa's got Fedposter, and he has Kemi Badenoch. I think lots of people may have at least 1.

Give it to me straight, Brits. Is this true or not?

It's false.
The number is actually 77% (add up "no more migrant" totals of "strong support" and "somwhat support")

Since we're all diving into a bit TMI, here's my experience.

My terminally-ill father was kept in a shitty southern hospital (Weymouth/Bournemouth/Plymouth area) with a ceiling crumbling in the corner. We had the "there's nothing more we can do" conversation with him and they moved him to a lovely hospice around the corner. He was on the brink of dying for two weeks and at the end of that two weeks when he was at his weakest, they moved him (a 56 year old man) to a care home for dementia patients and people in their 70s - 100s. Died a few hours after he got there. Dumped him in an old peoples' home.

Why do that to a man? Met someone at a job I was on who had almost exactly the same experiences.

What a dude,to save your grandma's life. CPR is hard shit to do. I hope she is okay now.

On subject of people dying: nigh on 20 years back my maternal grandmother, who I was exceptionally close to, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Was horrible, she had that dementia that goes along with it. She passed just after Christmas 2013. Had a huge Christmas tea, got battered on sherry and fell asleep,ever to wake up. She died with the nursing home cats sat on her, with sailing by by Ronald Binge playing on radio. Absolutely worse ways to go imo.

She and I were very close cos I was born on her 50th birthday. She was the best person I knew. When I started school I remember being stumped other kids don't have their birthdays on their grandma's birthdays.

Great campaign slogan too "Save the good ones". Hell, even the prospect of "behave and we might let you stay" might improve things a bit for the locals. Even if they still get catapulted by the end.
 
Someone needs to edit Birmingham footage over that Clangers episode where they look at Earth through a telescope and are horrified.
