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.

I would like to engage in an honest question with you lads.

When people say "The general public wouldn't go for that, it's too extreme", do you also think they're full of shit? If you told an average Joe "Doctors will see you same day or tomorrow, hospital waits till be a week or two, Dentists will have NHS slots for everyone, you can afford a house cheaply in your home town, you can find a job at all skill levels for a fair wage, your taxes will be lower, your kids will have better schooling and smaller class sizes and the country will be cleaner, less violent and more friendly." I bet every last one would say "Throw those black bastards into the ocean right now". Outside of the bug people who can never be convinced, I am beyond a doubt that the average Joe has no love for foreigners and would trade them all for a better life. Most would trade them all for a doctors appointment in a reasonable time frame. Even the ones who say "Abdul at the corner shop is alright" would throw him under the bus for a return to a better country.

I think the idea that normies aren't as radical as us is wrong. I think they're all just as radical and want them gone but aren't able to express that due to the illegal nature of it. They're scared of being punished for telling the truth and now that barrier is disappearing and as many have reported the truth is very popular. I think the public is as extreme as me where they do not give a flying fuck about any one but themselves and their family and know the cause of this country's collapse. The rape gangs, illegal immigration and just how bad places have become like London, Birmingham and Leicester have radicalized the White population here. Walking streets that smell like piss and weed while grubby men eye you up has become so common I can't help but think any one with any self awareness is super radical and would join a group reclaiming the country by force.
 
Ngl, for all the talk of how violent the tommytards were, they were actually remarkably restrained. They had the numbers where they could have easily smashed through the thin police line and kicked antifa all over central london.

I think that most sane and sensible people want a return to the good old days, it is only selfish and pompous demons who know that they could not then profit from misery who are refusing to let that happen.

The Left don't like to debate about this, stating that everybody from Boris Johnson to Donald Trump is in fact the problem and the reason that things are so bad.

It's akin to 'I couldn't do my homework because my arsehole fell off - oh, and you're a fascist if you don't believe me, Miss!'

However, with the mask falling fully off last week, the Left and Woke people are now hopefully in permanent free-fall. True, some will die on the hill of 'I'm woke 'til I die' thinking that they'll have achieved something, but in time they'll be forgotten as a complete irrelevance.

So, from what I can ascertain, one of my grandparents returned to England during the Civil War and married.

@Kofi Drinka, I think people, when the chips are down, are far more radical than politicians think. That is why Brexit was such a watershed moment for them, because not as many people were conditioned as they thought. When pressured and led well, people can push the button.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, "The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie," speaks to the profound power of truth and individual integrity. Solzhenitsyn, a Russian writer, and Nobel laureate, was a staunch critic of authoritarianism and spent much of his life exposing the atrocities of totalitarian regimes, particularly in Soviet Russia. His words reflect a deep understanding of how lies and propaganda can sustain oppressive systems, and how even one individual's refusal to accept or propagate falsehoods can disrupt the status quo.
This principle is rooted in the idea that participation in a lie—whether by spreading it, living by it, or remaining silent against it—ultimately legitimizes and strengthens deceit. Courage, in this context, is not necessarily an act of grand defiance, but often a quiet, steadfast refusal to compromise on truth. For Solzhenitsyn, such personal responsibility was foundational to resisting tyranny.
His statement also underscores the ripple effect of individual actions. When even one person rejects a lie, it creates a fissure in the narrative of falsehoods, inspiring others to do the same. In a society overwhelmed by misinformation or controlled by propaganda, small acts of courage can become a collective movement for change.
Ultimately, Solzhenitsyn's words remind us that integrity and truth are the bedrock of freedom. Choosing not to partake in lies—no matter how pervasive—requires moral strength but serves as a powerful act of resistance against injustice.

I don't know what DNA test you're taking but yanks show European DNA. Usually a hodge podge of German, Scottish and English. If something is telling you how much cowboy you have it's very strange.
 
The media is really trying to downplay the true numbers of the protests yesterday. They keep using terms like "small but vocal" all the while showing pictures of gigantic crowds. They really are pathetic.

I would estimate over a million turned out.

I've seen a lot of them say it was 150.000 but it honestly looked like it was way more. I'm seeing claims of 3 million people were there.

Complete nonsense. 1.8 million attended Obama's inauguration. There were 150k - 250k there, Tommy's just trying to increase his chances of getting a US speaking gig career.

EDIT: Stand Up To Racism did a video show or podcast of some sort where they admitted they'd failed and that there were in excess of a million on the UTK side.

Not only that but the issues in these tests and the privacy of your data are huge. Everyone I know who works in data and privacy would advise not doing one.

You don't know what they're doing with your data,what system is it stored on, what's their retention period/ policy and where are the servers based.

So, you're handing over your personal information, for what? Pissing rights about but but but muh ancestorrzz? 23 and Me were recently slapped with a significant fine for breaching data protection laws.

Just do your genealogy the old fashioned way. Its way more interesting and will teach you more about your ancestors than any DNA test will.

The other looming problem is a lot of these companies are struggling, if not outright going tits up because it turns out basing an entire business model on selling people a one off fad item isn't sustainable, who'd a thunk it. So now you have to worry no just about what the company is doing with your data, but what whoever buys them out of their inevitable bankruptcy might.

I think it's because I see myself as very "right wing", racist by the traditional meaning of the word as in I don't think all races are equal in intellect or ability. If anyone should believe in the idea that kicking out all the browns will solve all our problems it should be me, but I don't think it will. I have a suspicion my views are shared by 10% of the white population, tops. No matter how many "winner" stickers I get for calling someone a nigger, I know in real life the majority of the people will be against me.

I'm just unconvinced. There are plenty of Arabs where I live like everywhere else, not too many blacks. I still see majority white faces, typically when I'm out and about it is my fellow whites turning the place into a shit hole. Stealing, begging while smoking a fag, claiming benefits rather than working, raising their kids to be little scrotes, obese NHS sponges, I could go on but if you live in this country I think you know what I mean.

I'm all for kicking them all out, I'm just concerned that too many people think that will magically change everything and think we are all of a sudden going to enter a golden age. The problems in this country are complex and it's not all to do with the brown people.

They know that they can no longer control the narrative.

Despite the cheeky assertion of 'Britain is great - did you see the Proms? Bohemian Rhapsody innit?' they know that neither the hard Left likes them nor the Far Right. Their income stream is drying up, but they are too pompous and arrogant to ever admit defeat, that they're wrong and are losing.

It's akin to a Manchester United fan believing that as his team was great years ago, it shall always be.

The landscape has changed and since the turn of the month in particular things have accelerated - the Right are on the rise, the Left are floundering, the shooting of Charlie Kirk (RIP) has angered decent people and the Labour Party is ripping itself apart. To cap it all, one of the richest and most influential men on the planet is now calling for a 'Wilson 74' moment to overthrow the government.

The MSM is pathetic, but has to toe the OFCOM and Government lines or they too will be censured (if not censored completely).

Nope. I don't buy into the myth that normies are secretly based and they're just waiting for a racist messiah for them to stand up and be counted.

Even jeet conmen know the truth...



Normies consistently make bad life choices on everything from their health to their finances, and its even worse when they're presented with the ballot box.

I used to have a little faith in them, but the reaction to COVID was the final nail in the coffin for me.

There will always be louts and scallies. As things stand, their behaviour is often rationalised (and often exacerbated) by the loss of social trust caused by mass immigration. They wouldn't put it in these terms, or even consciously think about it, but that's how it goes. Everything bad is made worse by mass immigration. Reversing it is a necessary step to fixing other issues, or at least mitigating them.

In days of yore, they were called "the mob", and the powers that be went to great lengths to keep them on-side. The mob is fickle, easily led, and prone to hysteria by its nature. It doesn't have much in the way of memory and doesn't really care that much about any given issue, beyond whether taking part will be entertaining and if it will get in the way of their evening pint and telly time. Fundamentally, the mob is made of people who want to be left alone. That last part is why they went along with so much of what was imposed by the political class; they were promised they'd be left alone. They've finally realised it's not true, so they're following whatever voice promises to roll back the changes. The public will go to great lengths to be left alone; with the right voice at the front, they will do terrible things in the name of being left alone.

Tell them tomorrow that chanting nigger on street corners will guarantee that they'll be left alone and you'll have them lining the streets of every town and city in the country, just so long as they can knock off at five.
