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.

That's been scrawled onto the photograph digitally, not painted onto the wall. You can tell if you look at the picture zoomed in.

Pack it in mate. You might like blacked porn but some of us don't want to see any amount of swinging dicks in our movies. Even Null said it's full of nigger dicks.

Nigel Farage today suffered a blow as one of Reform UK's councillors was reported to have defected to UKIP.

Amelia Randall, who was elected in May to Kent County Council, has quit Reform to join Mr Farage's old party, according to KentOnline.

Ms Randall represents the Birchington and Rural division on the Reform-led council.

She was Reform's parliamentary candidate in Herne Bay and Sandwich at last year's general election.

Ms Randall claims to have 'psychic abilities' and to have been part of 'an international psychic line for years'.

It has previously been reported how she sold tarot card readings on the website OnlyFans.

She was said to have sold spells for up to £200 on Facebook in 2019 while offering 'mystic psychic readings' for £14.99 on her now-deleted OnlyFans page.

On her own website, Ms Randall claims to perform 'psychic readings with and without tarot cards', as well as 'candle magic', 'numerology forecasts' and 'angel harmony readings'.

So from what I can gather. She may have been a psychic selling tarot readings on Onlyfans?


She's an interesting one. Yesterday she was saying how much she loved the Reform conference and how they were #inittogether or some shit. I've not seen a proper source on the only fans but she's too ugly to want to dig into much more. Looks like a 50's chinese impression mixed with a bog twin.

Those six people in each car are all paying for it. They lease the cars, take out loans to pay the lease, and then keep rolling the debt over, likely claiming benefits at the same time. It's very likely they get favourable treatment from jeet-infested financial institutions.

Their new cars will all be on PIP/Motability.

The Brit cops let the guy walk out the hotel with his "Mom" after entering England illegally. So these dudes are free to walk around England straight after coming off a boat with no restrictions on their movement.

It likely isn't even the British police that let this slav trash walk around the streets. The security guards at these hotels are always foreigners themselves and they do little to no policing or enforcement of any laws, if anything they often play defence for them.

As a whole foreign security guards are useless, from personal experience the ones I used to encounter in every bus station spent more time trying to chat up very young girls and trying to look "hip and cool" in front of the local roadmen then doing any actual work.

Windfall tax on gambling company profits

Pretty much the only part I can get behind without seeing it fucking the common man as usual. Gambling is a cancer, it's advertised constantly, it's been made too accessible with the advent of phone technology. You used to have to go to the local betting office and see with your own eyes what gambling can do to people, now it's all hidden behind flashy graphics.

I can see why it's popular, when your wages are shit, everything is expensive and there doesn't seem to be any way to get higher in the food chain other than by "winning big". It's all just a sign of a decaying society to me though and I'd like to see more gambling company profits taxed in a way that funds something more than constant misery.

A nice idea, but the gambling companies appear to have Labour by the balls.

In the UK, the following harmful things cannot be aired:

* Adverts for smoking
* Adverts for drinking (though Carabao Beer is exempt..)
* Adverts for drugs (because illegal)
* Fatty foods or high sugar foods before 9pm

Yet gambling ads = A OKAY.

Hmmmmm........
 
Jesus Christ, so the baggage on the new cabinet is brutal.

The new Policing Minister had previously worked on a campaign trying to defund the Police. It's already pretty fucked, but pop-off sis.


The new Tech minister had to repeal a site about tech jobs in his constituency due to a conflict of interest. He is a jeet, so I do not trust this venture—another migrant child, who also attended Eton on scholarship, similar to Lammy.


The new housing minister is again a child of a migrant and probably another scholarship child. Turns out she is a hardline Marxist and is Ed Miliband's protege, so obviously a rational sort. No, she is batshit crazy!


Here are some bangers;
  • “Community right to buy – rights of first refusal to social landlords and community-led housing organisations when properties become available for sale… a Public Land and Housing Corporation should be established to strategically deploy… private land acquired at existing use value, to prepare the pipeline of land for social housing.” This means seizing private land at below-market value…
  • “Rents for every home in the private rented sector in London be reduced to a desired rent level and then controlled by a ‘Private Rent Index’, which would cap annual rent increases.” Goodbye rental housing…
  • “Give mayors the powers to control rents.” “The power to control rents is something that must be devolved to regional authorities.” It doesn’t stop at a tourist tax people…
  • Apply NI to rental income.
  • Apply a surcharge to sales in which in which one landlord sells the property to another landlord.
  • Increase CGT on “significant unearned gains in rising property values.”
  • “A major new programme of grant-funded social rented housing – 150,000 a year built by either local authorities or housing associations. This will require around £10 billion of public investment per year.”
Apologies for them being Guido but they have been doing some great digging regarding our new overlords.

Starmer is fucked though. He has surrounded himself with people you would find in Fallout. The leftists of the party look rational compared to this lot.

I'm posting here because this seems more relevant to the English side of the pond than the American side... but Graham Lineham is being considered for asylum in the US explicitly under free speech concerns.

Heard first on Liberal Hivemind, would appreciate confirmation.

He's not the only one considering it. I hope someone does and the US accepts it. It would put the UK in some deep shit and create a cascade of financial issues for the government.

Mohamed Kamara stands by his single bed behind a small chest of drawers on which he has bags of sweets, fruit and a bottle of soft drink.

He lives in a modest terraced house a mile from the town centre in Nuneaton along with seven other young African men.

His bedroom, which resembles rudimentary university accommodation, is no bigger than 6ft by 8ft but the occupants - all strangers when they arrived - share a spacious modern kitchen, equipped with a double oven, stove and a microwave.

Fucking Nike Sliders man, its such a black person thing. There is more dignity in Crocs ffs.

Honestly, if I were not engaged to an American, I would be considering applying for asylum under free speech. I bet you a lot of our journalists are eying it up too. Fair play on Graham, he wrote The IT Crowd, and that shit I even reference now. This morning, I was listening to TalkTV talk about the failed alert protocol and thought of this immediately. I will say if you have worked in IT The IT Crowd is a rite of passage.

That’s retarded. All that will happen is every firm will move to Gibraltar (like what was happening when we had the last retarded tax on it) with the online and tens of thousands of people who work on high street bookmakers will lose their jobs.

High street bookmakers are already fucked after the last round of legislation.

There’s a ton of alcoholics in the world but I don’t see people crying out to ban pubs. Just because some degenerates don’t know when to stop gambling doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be able to put a coupon on of a weekend.

Stop acting like a Muslim and the Bossman Jacks of the UK be free.
