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.

Progress used to be what the Right of Labour was called, during the Blair years.

Sounds like a clarion cry for 90s type Labour in the 2020s... no thanks.

Despite the first four years being alright, I've no desire to return to those days.

@Crunkle Apparently that's the fifth version of the website... jeez that's bad - it looks like a very bad Wordpress attempt.

Looks like Omegon has had a Twitter/X ban...

Didn't you get the memo? Sikhs are BASED. They're BASED because they don't like pakis and muslims in general.

We'll ignore the fact that they're as just insular as jeets and pakis, highly nepotistic and their religion is militant enough to get onto the government's radar as potentially extremist.

Just as English as you though bro...

Don't take the piss out of him. He picked up a Victoria cross for fitting some veneers and giving a clean & polish while under mortar fire in Lashkargah.

we must do the needful. Gurkhas can stay though.

I've found the riot starter. Huge pinch of salt as it comes from Tommy Robinson himself:

For reference, there are protests in Epping today and tomorrow with many women and children in attendance.

I wish Chris Morris did something again, he'd have a field day with a revival of Brass Eye, especially with how the world is today.

Veteran, fair play to him. You would not see this shit anywhere but London.

EDIT: Oh wait, no, he's a jeet. I can't even have one.

Dental Corps? Oh now I remember. He served honorably against the cavity creeps in 1978. See above for some gritty wartime footage.

No. No they cannot. Putting a tea towel on your head doesn't stop you being a raping paki. There are no exceptions in them vs us unless you want to be stabbed in the back.

Have you met any Gurkhas? Like actually met and spoken to any? Or spoken to anyone who's served with them.

I don't agree with the way they were brought over en masse and effectively ghettoised in Aldershot but they're generally pretty respectable people who make an effort to integrate into British culture (except the really old ones but that's hardly a surprise) and seek gainful employment.

Have you seen me giving a fuck?

If they're not English, Irish, Welsh or Scottish they need to fuck off. End of story. No exceptions. No Based Brown Man. Anything else is unacceptable and you should be considered a traitor for suggesting it. All you're doing is creating another brown rival society for your children or grand children to have to conflict with the same way you are with the current one. You can't even say they integrate because their kids aren't them and you can't stop them wanting their own ethnic identity and forming rival groups to the natives like all foreigners do.

I've met a Gurkha. We spoke for a good half hour during an event I was at, fascinating man. I've met multiple other ex-army and the Gurkhas are always highly-respected because of their devotion, fighting skill and love for Great Britain.

That man watched dozens of his own friends (and one member of his family) die in front of him and all of it was in our name, our country and to keep us safe. That man (and all of the Gurkhas who died alongside our ancestors) deserves a place here. C/S/D.

:semperfidelis:

All the other stinky jeets can fuck off though.
