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.

Look have you heard the way Japanese people talk about browns and especially chinks? We're basically the same. I mean half the women in this country love immigrants anyway.

That's because you don't identify as a trans-sexual Kwyjibo with a detachable vagina.

If you did, you could call your kid anything.

Donald Adolf Nigel Made In Wales is doing very well, by the way.
 
Imagine the following: It's the year 2002. You're writing a thriller about the police tracking terrorists about to bomb a synagogue. You name the guy Jihad.

Your publisher would have you over the fucking coals for such a racist concept and name. Hell, this guy makes the average JK Rowling name look fairly tame.
 
Can the media fuck off with the "of British Descent" we don't say of pedo raghead descent, so can we have a bit of respect. You aren't white, so you aren't British.

Maybe not co-opting a literal fucking terrorist was not a good idea, retards. You let in trash, you create trash.

https://order-order.com/2025/10/02/...-powell-faces-fresh-questions-on-syria-links/ Funnily enough, today, the Chagos architect was probably in bed with Syria. Interestingly, Lord Ali also made frequent trips to Syria.

Lord Waheed Alli
Information about Waheed Alli, Baron Alli, and his trips to Syria was revealed in September 2024, sparking a political controversy.
  • Visits and meetings: In 2013, Lord Alli spoke in the House of Lords and confirmed he had "visited Syria on a number of occasions and held talks with President Assad on several".
  • Political stance: During a 2013 debate, he argued against military intervention in Syria, citing the potential for escalation and repeating mistakes from the Iraq War.
  • Context of revelation: The information came to light amid other controversies surrounding Lord Alli and his donations to prominent Labour Party figures like Keir Starmer.
  • Cabinet Office response: A Freedom of Information request in September 2024 asked the Cabinet Office to provide details on who authorized Alli's visits and what was discussed with Assad. The Cabinet Office refused the request.
Why the fuck is someone not linked to the government had keys to Number 10, and refusing to explain why he was going to Syria? Now the Chagous architect is linked to the same circle. It's almost like the Government is taking the public for a ride and doing shady deals with terrorists.

Wasn't Alli unironically supposed to be bumming Queer Sharter?
 
So in the UK at the next General Election you have the choice of voting for:
  • Labour - Heavily influenced by muzzies
  • Reform - Heavily influenced by muzzies
  • SNP - Heavily influenced by muzzies
  • Jezbullah - Do I need to even say?
  • Conservatives - Spent 14 years pushing as many muzzies into the country as they could.
  • Lib Dems - Loopy party with policies that change every year but somehow wants to appease both muzzies and fags
  • Greens - Loopy party with policies that change every year but somehow wants to appease both muzzies and fags
I think the biggest threat to the UK right now might be Islamaphobia, friends :(

No he is a British Asian national. Don't you know we're all literally the exact same thing we're all just mesopotamians. Race and ethnicity doesn't exist you racist, or well, not racist because race isn't real but you just ist.

They do it at home too. It actually makes them stand out compared to their neighbours.

There’s a good chance he just straight up told the immigration officers that he was a jihadi from Syria and they said “that’s your name now”.

The Netflix remake of this scene, except the officer expresses visible disappointment.

"Name?"
"Jihad."
"Jihad? Ah. Shame..."

He might not have even been aware of the question, just outright stating his intent.
 
If the Home Office weren't so cucked; if Border Force weren't so weak; and if the Judiciary weren't so arse-fucked then this attack would not have happened because this piece of literal trash would not have been here.
