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.

Absolutely, this is red meat from the little ginger bastard himself because we all know who runs the show. The government does not even have the funds as well as backing to introduce it. Imagine being so fucking irresponsible with the economic response, too, because that is an actual response.

After reading the book Get In, holy fuck Sweeney is obsessed with power, and it has to be questioned now. Our government has been co-opted by fucking Tony Blair and a derranged bunch of cultists. I am ecstatic that after all this, Labour is finished forever; they will never return. To an outsider, this would sound schizophrenic, but sadly it is true.
 

it'll be ignored, but sign anyway I beg. Write to your elected officials, if you want. Even if its le manufactured nothing burger, they're watching precisely how much pushback they get so they can try the same shit later. I dont have the money to move to the USA yet lol can we please not let this shithole implode yet.

Sir Keir Starmer is less popular than Donald Trump with Scots, a new poll has suggested.

The Ipsos Scotland survey of 1,050 voters found the Prime Minister’s net favourability rating dropped to minus 47%, a 7.5-point fall since February.

The US president’s rating sat at minus 46%. While 20% of Scots have a favourable opinion of Trump, 16% have a favourable view of Sir Keir.

This fucking idiot managed to beat trump by 1% for most hated person in this country, the same country that hated him before it was cool for libs to hate.

Dear me Labour, you've gone to shit...

The Christmas Turkey is voting to gut itself before basting itself and going into the oven...
 
Out of everyone, Kemi agrees with it. FUCKING BITCH! EVEN FUCKING JEREMY CORBYN IS AGAINST IT!!! HE'S A TROSKITE!!!

Jesus wept, Kemi READ THE FUCKING ROOM FOR ONCE, I KNOW IT'S HARD. The point of the opposition is to oppose, not sign deals. She is beyond fucked at this point. I bet Clevery and Jenryk are prepping their Cesear moment.

The social media account almost feels like a detractor now. Nothing says patriotic like creating a police state. He talks, but there is no monologue there at all, which for a lawyer is absolutely fucking shocking. Legit psychopathic tendencies.

I remember getting into it with a couple of posters when she became tory leader, I felt like we should give her a chance.

I don't think i've been so wrong on anything in my entire life. How very depressing.

Okay that's the Tories pronouns now becoming were/was a political party.

Dear old Maggie will be beside herself, Stanley Baldwin and the other Tory 'greats' as well.

Jenrick, Trott, Bridgen, Rees-Mogg, Mims Davies - any half-decent pro-Brexit Tory will now be seeking to jump ship to Reform UK. I will not be surprised if we're on double figures in a few weeks.

Even if they choose to work 'in the back rooms/war room', so be it.

Kemi has nuked the Tories good and proper - those 11 Tory seats on the projections just went turquoise.

Cleverley will stay to the end, he's at least got the balls to go down with the Titanic err Good Ship Tory.

'It was on the good ship Tory
It wasn't half a story
When Boris puked
and Kemi nuked
our Land of Hope and Glory...'

Yea I am compassionate you retard. The fact that you have made the most fucking sympathetic ethnic group hate you should be speaking volumes. Taking the exact opposite message from what we're saying. Also if you want compassion why are you importing people from places that actively teach people to not be compassionate? You think the people from countries that randomly execute women for fun are compassionate?

The 'true' britian is tolerant and compassionate and reasonable and decent? So a made up invention to push an agenda? The true britian is rocking up in some shithole murdering all the natives and replacing it with civilisation that's profitable for the crown. The new idea of tolerance and compassion being for outsiders are new inventions designed to psyop the niggercattle into nodding along while their country is raped.

He just fucking speaks. He doesn't talk, he doesn't communicate, he speaks. Language doesn't exit his mouth, just words. Random fancy words just fall out his mouth like my fucking grandmas dentures. Yea we need compassion and patriotism and it's our mission and responsibility and our photosynthesis of the diurnal ozonolysis that is why you must let 5 niggers sleep in your spare room.

She's an anchorbaby nigger from Nigeria that her parents shit out a year before automatic magic dirt citizenship ended with a name that sounds like a fucking tribal magic spell to summon the rain and the Watford Gap between her teeth who spent her entire youth growing up in Africa. The fact that anybody was willing to give her even the time of day says a lot about how retardedly tolerant we have become as a country.

She's about as un-british as you can possibly fucking get.

Go ahead, say "Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke Badenoch" without getting the mental image of a bunch of barely clothed witch doctors dancing around a bonfire while chanting it.
 
It's now my most deeply held belief that Babadook was a Biafran sleeper agent all along, because the alternative is that she really as stupid as she looks/sounds/acts.

The fuck you fucking think you're doing, wasting salt like that?
No, you just need to take the old and infirm slaves you took from the last tribe you vanquished and sacrifice them in a great ceremonial fire.
