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.

If nothing else, Trump has proven that he sides with those of us with brain cells.

@K-Hole is correct in his assertions above, and Starmer knows that he has no plans to make life better and fairer for people - he is just a Soros funded asshole.

However, IF Farage does bring prices down, axe debts and rips up the Political Manual on running the country then we're already in for good times.

The population will soon tail off - we're not replacing what we had with what we will have and Africa is experiencing issues with plague, typhoid and cholera.

In Birmingham, Zoonotic diseases have been reported in areas where rubbish isn't being collected - this combined with dinghy divers bringing plague, typhoid and cholera over could well create a new super virus. Remember how Covid spread and mutated - this will make Covid look like a mild flu.

Super Zoonotic diseases/viruses will cause you to shit and vomit yourselves to death.

If nothing else, this could be used by Farage to lock down the ports and forbid foreign travel.

It was around the 9th paragraph I thought this one is making good points but taking way to long to do it, checked username and bloody hell it wasn’t Implying for once!

Please, sperg away.
 
Right that's the second concert I've been to in about a year where there's been a ten minute "Use your voices to speak up for Palestine" or some shit like that. Not going to name them for obvious reasons but I can't believe I now have to check a band's stance on fucking Palestine before going to a gig, knowing that if they say it in the slightly wrong tone I'm probably going to get Ariana Grande'd.

But then you need a BBC sissy fetish to listen to music that awful.

It's literally a waste of money. Deporting them to France makes no difference. They will just come right back again.

Peter Kyle is officially the biggest fucking idiot in British politics. He's making Starmer look like a well rounded smart politician right now.

"What we really need at the moment is our military focus on all those really key issues around the world [that] are directly relating to our national defence" in relation to Trump saying use the military to defend the borders. Can any of you find a single fucking issue bigger than having hundreds of people enter your country illegally with terrorist ties who will rape your women and children? I can't think of a single bigger issue in national security. There is NO national security and foreign conflicts do nothing but encourage further displaced people to come here with their cock out ready to break into some more schools and pensioners homes.

I cannot find enough anger to express how deeply I hate these people. Pure, deep, generational hatred. I've seen kids with down syndrome have more sense of self preservation than these London cunts. Christmas is coming up, the season of Muslim terrorist attacks on Christian markets. How many will die and be told it's not a priority to protect them because we have to use our military strength to... Destabilize countries in the third world and invite the gutter oil quality people here for a free house, Government mandated child prostitute and free health care?
 
Dumbarton activist found guilty of criminal damage to Taylor Swift's jet | Dumbarton and Vale of Leven Reporter https://share.google/yi6ZIHrLnMc56YJvA

Except neither of the two jets spray painted belonged to Swift.

The jury found them guilty after two hours of deliberation. Hopefully they will receive a fitting sentence on 27 October. Shame they will never have to pay financially for the damage they caused.

Yeah, I've found the government's response to Trump absolutely baffling, and it's ripe for Reform to jump on and win bigly.

How is it not "on mission" for the military to stop invading hordes?? What definitions of "defence" and "security" are they even using?

Sure, our military has got pretty good at bombing goat herders thousands of miles away while taking minimal casualties. But at some point we might actually want them to, you know, protect the fucking country.

I hope Farage goes Total Nigger Death on them for these statements.
 
Meandering through clips of parliamentary debates (it's a hobby) and found this one, of a speech Tom Tugonthat* gave about Parliament being useless. He clarified something that's been annoying me about Parliamentary debates in the last year, though I didn't realise quite what it was until he pointed out out: MPs constantly using the phrase "I rise to speak" when giving statements to the House. It's an Americanism, rarely used in the Commons, which they're only using now because they're using ChatGPT to generate their speech notes. Most majority backbench speeches were vapid and glazing enough already, but now they're repeating computer-generated slop in the Commons without even a blush of shame.


I know I'm late to this. I don't read newspapers much, but apparently it was a bit of a story when it happened.

They have the UK regime breathing down their necks, they'd love to get them off air over a technicality, and the technicality is news reporters HAVE to say alleged before trial. Your posts don't indicate a retard so idk how you didn't know this.

It's a youtube channel mate. If a government wants something gone Google will remove it without question. Did you miss the last ten years of internet censorship?

Charles would walk out of his chemo treatment, pimp stick in hand all the way to parliament, knock on the door three times and say GTFO your fired. At least that's what would happen in an ideal world.

Funnily enough every single metal gig I've been to has been incredibly fun. I think the heaviness casual filter helps, as well as knowing that a concert actually filters out the worst of the metal fanbases as they'd have to actually leave the fucking house and go to a venue on their own without their carer.

The funniest thing though? The one concert I went to recently where I was bracing myself for a half hour of Palestine weeping didn't have a single second of it. Turns out Chappell Roan is smart enough to realise that faggots and Islamists don't mix.

There's a few ways:

1) Career ending scandal - 'Starmer's a Nonce, we have proof etc.' This would be McSweeney and Blair's revenge against a man who has well and truly fucked Labour up permanently.

2) VONC, but he'd then go for a General Election as he doesn't want Blairites to rule - don't forget, he can now (thanks to Boris repealing the FTPA - or Fixed Terms Parliament Act) call one at any time.

3) The Budget fails to pass which is looking likely.



The black hole of Reeves (make your own jokes) can never be filled without axing debts and restructuring our finances. Labour rebels know that the public will not accept 'worse and worse' until 2029 and Starmer, keen to show who is boss, could jettison anybody not loyal to him.

Doing that would lead to mass defections and resignations - it's a suicidal move but one Starmer would do as he is arrogant enough to believe that he is the Labour Party.

The ex-Tory MP stated: "We know exactly where these boats are, where they're coming from, where they're traveling.

"It's entirely possible to intercept them. But let's face the facts, if we cannot legally attach anything to the boats and tow them back, then there's not much we can do.

Last time I checked we wrote our own laws faggot. I do not need to attach something to a boat to stop it. I can shoot the driver or I can shoot the boat and both stop them. We don't need to tow boats back to France so they can try again and waste our resources. We need a single rifle with a decent shot and this ends within a week. If we start shooting (and I believe the public supports us doing this) then the human rights lawyers can whine all they want. The boats will stop because it will become suicidal to try to cross the channel without permission.
