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.

The neo liberal chickens are coming home to roost every where across Europe and North America. The collapse is getting eminent and left wing governments are collapsing in on their own disjointed ideology clashes. They've done everything they can to stop the right building and formed unstable unions between groups who massively disagree. It's all falling apart and they're not facing a much more united public who have 1 single issue they all agree on. Total nigger death.

Fixed for you. We have the same enemies. TND/TPD now!

Fucks sake, can I not piss away a few quid in the pub backing 3 legged nags that are one harsh look from the glue factory without some neo-Puritan trying to ban that?

I enjoy gambling, on the rare occasion I pick a horse that limps over the line first I promptly trouser however much my initial stake was that day and keep on gambling. Doesn't harm anyone, and I can think of much more socially damaging behaviours.

No one minds you putting a few quid on the grand national but online gaming is something much worse. Think of all the way gacha games try to milk you for every penny and then apply it to gambling. It's become really nasty.

If nothing else we should ban it to get rid of Ojo. Their ads are full of trannies and drag queens. The logo even looks like a cock and balls intentionally.

From your lips to God's ears.

Us being insulated by Brexit from the absolute cake and arse party that would be the EU disintegrating would be quite delightful. The bodies of Jontys and Adrians littering the streets having committed hara-kiri in a respectful, non-culturally-appropriative manner. Highlighter girls denying reality like Hitler in the bunker. Lanyard class fluorescent-haired land-whales driving their mobility scooters off Beachy Head screaming that this can't happen, they have an AuDHD diagnosis.

A man can dream, right?
 
The thing is though, both Germany and France will turn on Ursula so quickly. You cannot make that entertainment, it's going to be so fucking funny. Starmer, the idiot he is, will try to be the peacekeeper and try to rejoin because retard.

Meanwhile in Sweden, a minister collapses live


Apologies, I had to look for a video.

Nope. Sorry, its been decided. Its time to RETVRN.

We're going back to buying a copy of the Racing Post and studying form while you're on the shitter for the first hour of work. We're going back to apprenticeships so you can send them down to the bookies. We're going back to doing the pools on your break and the guy who collects the money acting as a loan shark on the side. We're going back to getting scammed buying one of those stamps for Spot The Ball. We're going back to running a book at work on everything from the World Cup to the sex of that munter in account's first born. A fruit machine in every chippy (no video poker, thats for fags). We're going back to bingo halls, though only for the over 70s or if you're drunk and you thought it was a club. Penny falls will no longer have prizes or notes, only enough copper to bankrupt a scrapyard. No more browns operating stalls at the funfair, only gypsies.

No more apps. No more free bets. No more multi-nationals hiding in the Cayman Islands. No more annoying adverts.

We're taking this national institution back or burning it to the ground.
 
Betting should only be allowed in bookies ..Gambling machines are fine as long as they're ones with 'boards' and 'features' like the good old days. #bringbackSimpsonsMeltdown

EU collapsing would be blamed on Brexit. "If we had stayed in the European Union, we could have helped them financially and stopped their collapse".
If the EU does implode, I wonder what will happen to the newly-joined countries who are about to take their currency?

Unfathomably based, this speaks to my soul.
A return to the days of individual price stickers on things in shops, buying sweets in a paper bag by the quarter, and old women wearing headscarves rather than young women wearing headscarves.

A time when the only women you saw on TV with blue hair were Mrs Slocombe or Phyllis Pearce.

When there were tits on page 3, the football card in the pub was always won by someone called Dave no-one had heard of, 4 channels of TV (Channel 4 after the watershed being arty wank fuel) and internet was how a Yorkshireman scored goals.

I am ready, take me back.
 
I know that the French are supposedly our Evrvpean brothers or something, but I must admit that a thousand years of conflict with them has given me quite the distaste for them.
So watching them collapse is both kinda humorous and terrifying.

That being said I do like the French accent when it's a French woman speaking English. It's like a constant reminder that English won over them.

The Woke say: 'Nigel and Donald will take us back to the 1980s...'

I say: 'FIRE UP THE DELOREAN, WE'RE GOING BACK!'

Its happening.

The bookies will be reinstated to it's rightful place on the high street. Not just a doorway for the homeless to piss in. Gone are the walls of flat screen TVs and touch screens. Back comes the solitary CRT TV on a precarious wall bracket and disinterested mid-bird behind the counter. The indoor smoking rules will be wavered in favour of enough second hand smoke to put Roy Castle on his arse before he's even stepped through the door.

Ladbrokes (sans Coral) will once again be a name that strikes terror into every fishwife.
 
I would be concerned with France collapsing increasing our invasion. The ones stopping in Paris will try to jump shit here. Unless Farage is in power and controlling the border France collapsing could be very very bad for us. They already don't stop them and when the French gibs run out they will be here with their hand out.

Aye, but the government do the same with the 40% of all my overtime they steal, and I've more chance of a return from the euro millions than from the parasites in Westminster.

One of the many ironies of this whole turn-out is that Germany, in the 1960s, realised that it could turn the then EEC into a captive market and supply chain for its heavy industry, which it promptly went about doing. German industry invested heavily in the development of integrated supply chains as the EU expanded eastward and by the early 2000s it had perfected the whole thing, giving German industry the ability to completely dominate the market. Then it turned around and started shutting down its heavy industry to please the climate gods. That is why the EU is collapsing right now; there are entire multi-national supply chains oriented to supplying a country that is no longer buying what they sell, and it's only going to get worse, as energy costs continue to drive manufacturers out of Germany.

Exactly the same as what happened in South Wales and the coalfields of the UK in the 1980s.

Coal, Iron and Steel was the backbone of the UK until the zealots got weepy eyed and rose to power.

You cannot found a city, country or empire on things like heavy industry, remove them and expect things to still be okay - have these retards not even played Sim City once?

If you are going to replace what we have with even better, even cheaper/more cost efficient and more beneficial then great - that is true progress - but if you are going to replace what we have with worse, not as reliable and have to pay people to say 'kind and nice' things because you're an insufferable twonk who can't stand losing (no Police innuendo meant) then people will see through the lies and will call them out.

'No, no, the Emperor is not naked - lies, lies!'

Yup, not only did our little blue eyed nigger just dox his age range. He's doxing everyone's age who's responding to him. Oopsie.
