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.

Tbf I would describe the government more as a moist than a wet. Basically the same but one just gives me that instinctual revulsion.

Corruptions all around you, it's every where you go.
Pakis raping children and the police know.

So if you really hate them hate them hate them
When they ask for a police investigation say "No"

Isn't bfp one of those acronyms that already had some sort of naughty meaning, kinda like dfs. Idk it just sounds familiar. Though I might just be yea, I think I'm thinking about the british nationalist party which shares the acronym with an infamous shota (little boys) porn hentai.

Just something I wanted to add to this post, I just noticed an insane psychological part in this.

Reform's total poll result is EQUAL to the combined polling of the Tories and Labour. That's insane. That'll do some harm to the uniparty morale.

Its fantastic, Starmer knows he has absolutely no mandate to do anything other than resign or start sending the buggers back. Imagine how it must burn in his guts, Mr "rule of law", knowing he is utterly illegitimate. I hope he develops an ulcer.

I will do some retard schizo maths and say that considering no foreigner is going to vote reform and that reform is the posterchild of anti immigration I would be willing to say that 44% of actual English people consider a complete stop of immigration to be the absolute number one desire out of the election above any other issue.

DFS? The Sofa People?

Methinks you've huffed too many farts for the day...

Unless Big Baz has commandeered the retail park, which is possible.

He told me he was just popping to the Harvester, not bringing about a nationalist coup from a Modular Sofable!

@Geoff Capes Vapes Apes I wish death upon Starmer - he wishes it on you and I, therefore I'm just following his lead.

Oh no don't you worry, he will keep pushing forwards with what he plans until the bitter end regardless of how the entire fucking country is polling towards because that is the kind of scum he is. Fucking Mr "landslide majority".

I dream of the day when we have ousted all the alien, decadent soft furnishings from our shores and we can live in harmony in an Oak Furnitureland, as the druids would have expected of us.

Better to reign from an uncushioned monks bench than to serve on an electric recliner with built in USB charger and Bluetooth speakers

It would have to be done quickly, though, before the sale ends.
 
The destruction of the west is the plan. If your leaders are running your country into the ground then that's the plan.
The previous man you had in charge refused to do it because he made more money trading in America.
The on before that could do it but was ruined because she wanted to help you.

We nearly suffered the same fate but our decline is on hold for a few years, so we're just sat listening to muzak until the operator forwards our call to the director of destruction and we join you bongs in digital-currency hell.

Do you ever wonder if this is what it was like under the rule of the commies but with more bread?
 
A follow up to the house fire in Ferndale, Rhondda:

Am researching these names as there's the possibility that two of them (Alfie Wheeler and Storm Truman) are involved with Antifa in Bristol and Conor Pitt is the younger brother of David Pitt from Mountain Ash who made threats on Facebook to kill UKIP voters years ago.

The person who lives at the address (no names) is involved with Reform UK and is a friend of Jamie Michael:

Will follow this story - they will have to plead guilty or not guilty a week today (4th September).

Got all them. Love me mace. Perils of being married to a someone in a reenactment group for ages.
That kinda thing has died out a bit which is a shame, it's all usually tied to local history, and it's a great way to get local lads together, legally wielding weapons, training in formation with spears and shields, (my lot used to do viking shield walls), and having the opportunity to use and test their strength against each other legitimately.
I feel it grounds people in their land, their history, their community, and women would take part doing living history displays of weaving, drop spindle wool processing, cooking, making outfits and gambesons, guys would do wood carving, chain mail construction.
Used to get hired for historical days at castles, mansions, fayre days in towns and villages, and even to put on Halloween spooky events seasonally sometimes.
Seems it'd be a great thing for boys to get into these days, training under the radar as prep, as well.
Unscrewed the spear head, put a flag on it, go to protest. See police approach for kettlling, anchor spear, with pointy threading for spear head, angled towards horses, against kerb, cobble, sank into grass, horses won't kettle.
I'm pretty sure I could get some small groups going again around Scotland, some are still going, and there's still interest, people have been talking. It'd be so good for boys, white working class boys on particular.
I'd love to see it happen. It used to be bigger before smart phones, with plenty teenager boys too. I mean, you got to bash fuck out each other, without much pain, with weapons, for fun.

Dfs was one of those old timey newspaper dating ad words back when they would be charged per character as a shorthand way of saying 'desperate for sex'. There's a few like that in the country, I think there was one rspb type organisation that had the same acronym as an abdl store or something like that too. Also I watched that video they linked and I take massive issue with her saying 'that's not the language we'd usually use, that is the sentiment the entire country is feeling right now'. I just want to say no it isn't. Keir is a traitorous faggot, an absolute cunt, a bastard, a twat, a retard, fucking every name you can think of. People just say kier starmers a wanker because it fits the tune better. The sentiment of people who would go out of their way to make a banner and hang it up is not that he is just a wanker. They're simply biting their tongue so that the sign has a chance of staying up unlike if they actually spoke their mind.

Doesn't matter. I could probably get off about 5 arrows with a compound bow in the time you could get one with a crossbow. More accurately too. There's a reason why people who hunt with bows use compound bows nowadays. Compound bows are simply the best if you want efficiency. Carrying anything like that out in public is going to get you arrested anyway, if a fucking trowel is a dangerous dagger then they will not give a shit if it is a historical crossbow or not.

The real perils are when the thing you've been looking at finally gets restocked and they put the fucking price up by about 50%.
