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 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.
Can I have some of what you're on please? Why would you ever give a Nigerian leading the conservative party a chance?
 
The online safety bill was being weighed up since 2023, they passed it under labor. You elected literal fucking communists that sold jet engine specs to the Soviets. This is happening.
I see the Digital ID is happening judging by the article in A&N rn and the community feature thingy. Called it
 
Videos like this make me wonder what would happen if all pregnant black women were prescribed a hefty dose of paracetamol for the duration of their pregnancies to ensure total autism.
From my experience dealing with them, autistic black people tend to act more like human beings than your typical chimpanzee.
I think it's a bit like sickle cell anemia. It would be disadvantageous for a white person to have it, but it is an evolutionary benefit for them to have it due to protecting them from Malaria.

Instead of criminals stealing your phone out of your hands, you get millions of Shadow the Hedgehog fans.

This just in: guy who thinks the osa (passed in 2023 under the tories) was passed by labour in 2025 thinks that an announcing a plan is the same as it being implemented. Who could have guessed? Just wait until you see all the other 'plans' and shit that keir has announced to tackle immigration. The plan and idea have been announced many times already, it still isn't a thing.

The people behind the government obviously want it and seem to want to use the already hated kier to push it or as a distraction so people stop paying attention to the other reasons to hate him because modern day internet people can't hate two things at once. But acting like this is something we WILL have soon is retarded. It took the government 2 years to tell websites to ask their users for their age, this would take decades to properly roll out. Speaking of which, how long has it been since they last tried? Hmmmm.
Can we get my guy a proper fitting helmet jesus fuck that thing looks more like some 1960s orthodontist setup.
Outnig the nogs.
Stealing copper is a profoundly eastern european thing to do. Irish traveller at worst. Understanding which wires and pipes are safe to steal is too hard for the browns. On behalf of all of romania please stop appropriating their culture.
 
Asking British kiwi's: What are the chances of a military coup?

Not sure how moozlem sand niggers can be dealt with except with bullets. Really starting to question what it takes for a "uprising", if the kind of rape and murder stories showing up everyday doesn't inspire SOMETHING which isn't even mentioning these fucking grooming gangs!

I live in America and think about this shit everyday, depresses the fuck out of me...
 
What are the chances of a military coup?
Americans have been fucked over in the exact same ways and sometimes worse than England. They have full access to guns. If they haven't booged then what's our chances? Right now for us, pretty low. The chances that the country will erupt in riots? Almost 100%. We're one rape away from recreating the blitz on all the hotels. But the chance of a 1916 style military takeover of london is pretty low. Chances of recreating the troubles is higher but still pretty low. There are no targets really, who are you meant to shoot? There's no head of musliming. Outside of politicians but unless you kill every last one of them then it won't do anything because they all support the situation we are in now with seldom few exceptions.

We have a standing force of less than 100k, military culture is pretty much a dead meme/retiree exclusive, more admirals than boats etc.
That's just capability wise, willpower wise? The officer caste are either Fulda fucktards or the very definition of aristotwatic ingrate, there are no would-be Gaddaffis/Nassers, there will not be a Cromwell moment it is simply not viable.
So to answer you question: None whatsoever.

There is hope, but it doesn't lie in any sort of establishment anything.

I'm more focused on your military, I never hear what any British military leaders think.

It would take a military operation to pacify muslim populations to deport or kill anyone unwilling to leave.

Not entirely high unless Prince William reveals he is actually extremely based (not tremendously likely, sadly) and decides to attempt a takeover after deposing his father. The monarch is actually the Head of our Armed Forces and has supreme military authority, even today.
Whether the army would actually follow the monarch/future monach for the sake of the country's future isn't really clear though, they do take an oath to the current monarch and the heirs to the crown, but the British monarch has a fuckload of theoretical power. Of course, actually using any of that power would cause an immediate constitutional crisis, but fuck it, we're in about 16 different crisis anyway already so whatever.

Legally, if William became king, he has that power. It'd be a clusterfuck, though.
 
Any form of national ID is a terminal red line for the majority of the English population. All you people dooming that they'd accept it to get a pint and a cheeky nandos are retarded; it has never worked before. The covid pass doesn't count, because it didn't work. Very few people outside the westminster bubble accepted it. They took the stab because they assumed it was a one and done, but they rejected the virus passport because it promised to be eternal. The last time any form of national ID was accepted was during world war 2, and it was tossed out the moment the war was over, because rejection of such things it is too ingrained in English culture. It will not be accepted.

I bet Clevery and Jenryk are prepping their Cesear moment.
Cleverly collects adeptas sororitas and dark angels. The only reason I don't crown him king nigger is because he doesn't collect Salamanders.
Why does he sound like his nose is constantly stuffed?
His eyeballs are lodged in there from looking down his nose at everyone.

All you need to know about the British military is that there are more admirals than ships and more generals than tanks.

The french have a significantly larger navy than we do. It's a bit hard to get a good comparison but most places seem to quote a 60-100 vs 110-130 english to french. We also have less infantry but considering we are a fucking island nation where the only thing that matters at all is the sea it is fucking retarded as all hell. Our military doesn't say anything because the only thing the military have to deal with is defending israel and that's about it. We can't defend ourselves because it's the foreigner's 'human rights' to invade us. The only thing that the military is used for nowadays is to make whatever faggot the royalty pushes out look better after a short stint that is of course always surrounded by mere peasants that are there to take the bullets instead of the royal. Veterans fucking hate it but I would say I am biased to only see veterans that hate it. But at this point I think it is fair to say that the majority of English people are voting reform, saying most veterans hate it would be just true from statistics. I would assume giving your life for a country that now wants to somehow take even more than that is not very popular though. The military managed to defend the falklands (which israel just said is argentinian which is just kinda funny) and just about managed to not implode against a bunch of paddies while only murdering a few civilians by 'mistake'. Oh yea also fucked around chasing a goat fucker in a desert for a while which did nothing but empower different terrorist groups and kill a load of english people in terrorist attacks. The military has done fucking nothing for almost a century. Well other than the ones that are helping bring the immigrants ashore that is. At this rate there's probably been more migrant rapes since labour took power than brits died in afghanistan anyway.
it has never worked before
Key word being before. If it hasn't worked before then why are they trying again? Maybe it won't work this time, maybe not the next time, maybe not the time after but the fact that they are still pushing this shit after it continues to fail and be shown as one of the most universally hated ideas shows that they are not going to stop. someone wants this. The government has shown time and time again that they will continue to push things that are universally hated and will continue to do things regardless of what the public thinks. Do not trust the government. Do not expect the government to follow normal logic. Do not listen to the government. At all. Anything they say should be assumed to be lies and manipulation until it is proven otherwise and even then that proof should be heavily scrutinised.
