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.

Marcus Fakana, the 18 year old from Tottenham who was jailed in Dubai for having sex with a 17 year old, has died following a police car chase in Edmonton/Tottenham early on Friday morning.
A British teenager who was jailed in Dubai after having sex with a UK tourist has died after a car he was in failed to stop for police and crashed in north London.
Marcus Fakana, 19, died from “significant” injuries after the smash just before 1am on Friday.
Officers on patrol attempted to stop a vehicle “of interest” in Pretoria Road, Edmonton.
The Metropolitan Police said following a short pursuit of approximately 60 seconds, they temporarily lost sight of it.
Shortly after, officers drove onto The Roundway, Tottenham, to find the car had been involved in a road traffic collision with another vehicle.
The teenage passenger suffered serious wounds and was provided with immediate first aid prior to the arrival of the London Ambulance Service and an air ambulance.

Mr. Markass Fuckhernah will have to occupy dead nigger storage now.
Good fucking riddance, at least he only managed to erase himself in his final chimpout.
 
So it's not compulsory, but you won't be allowed to work or have somewhere to live without having it? Will it then be expanded so that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark?

Funny thing about that photo, is that it's pretty much all you can find of him and it was taken when he'd have been 15/16, years before he was ever arrested in Dubai. It was really weird that there was this desire by the establishment to paint him as a kid rather than show him how he actually was. He hadn't done anything that would be considered especially wrong in Britain, he had consensual sex with a girl a few months younger than him. Yet the media and his family felt the need to hide what he actually looked like.
 
Honestly I felt bad for him when he was initially arrested in Dubai because it looked a lot like plain racism as the mother waited until they were back in the UK before reporting him to Dubai authorities, effectively fucking him over.

Then more came out and it looks a lot like he's a complete fucking bellend roadman who probably did significantly more than have a 'consensual relationship' with this girl, and if anything, Dubai locking him up for a year might have been the most stable year of his entire life.

Where did you read more on him? I thought there were texts between him and the girl that made it appear straightforward and consensual? I'd never thought much about it other than instinctually feeling that there was likely more to it, if they felt a need to misrepresent his appearance.

Its common practice and it extends into their family lives too.

It sounds morose, but my ex and I used to always go through a walk through Kensal Green cemetery after doing the weekly shop on a Saturday. We'd always make a point of going past the fresh plots to check out if any young scholars had been buried recently. Why? Because they're unintentionally hilarious. They're always festooned with offerings of new pairs of Nikes, baseball caps, t-shirts etc so they can mill around in the afterlife without looking gay innit.

Niggers do as niggers be, so the graves were gaudy as fuck if they had the money, and they would often have a photo frame built into the headstone. Did these photos capture how he lived, ie a hood rat with a thousand rape stare? Of course not. Most of the time it would be that little cherub still in his school uniform who definitely dindu nuffin'/was tryin' to get his life together/was on his way to college.

Obviously there is always a bit of artistic license when it comes to how you want someone portrayed after their death, but there were three or four people we knew who ended up in the ground after your typical London disagreement. One of them was well into his 30s, was a known dealer and met his fate after getting jumped by a rival one night. What photo was on his headstone? A picture of him in his school football kit from when he was about 13.

I can guarantee you if the only picture they're prepared to print of this guy is one of him in his school uniform then he probably got the fate he deserved.

>Feeling bad for mystery niggers when the Media is trying to drum up sympathy
>Ever

Well there's your problem, chum! Empathy for these junglespawn will only end with you and yours needing doctors to remove knives from your jugulars. Give them an inch, and they'll use it to shift the center, over and over again. Now unless I see any evidence at all that Jubadoobadoo 'John' Skippitywambee was a valued member of society (Proof of value requires a vouch from Gazza down at the pub saying that he was 'one of the good ones'), then I'm just going to shrug and move on.
 
Don't forget "Aspiring rapper"

In the case of this one, it was a new found focus on religion.

Radha Stirling, his lawyer and founder of the Detained in Dubai group, said: "He was grateful for the compassion shown to him by the British public, and his experiences gave him a renewed focus on Christianity and prayer.

"Marcus was thankful to have regained his freedom and was looking forward to building a positive future."
 
Like brits like to follow American politics, I like following UK politics.
How do people feel about the BBC investigation in the police? It probably could not have been happened at a worst time

The ID is about as compulsory as the jab then? Just resist until the system collapses within itself. "You can see my ID, yes, but it's on my personal phone which I legally don't have to show you" :smug:

And it's not about Illegals or ID or any shite. The government desperately need to claw as much tax off of the workingman because the wealth has fled the country. Employers are expecting a recession and collapse come November so they're closing ranks and hiring nobody, not helping the burden on the state.

I think we may see the worst Christmas spend in history this year.

And expect VAT to increase to 22.5% in November and it be applied to digital purchases. God bless the OSA.
 
Gov has responded to the no-ID petition. As expected, their position is "fuck you, we're doing it anyway".
So you're telling me that even if a massive number of people declare that they fucking hate something we still get no choice in the matter. I wonder if there's a system of governance that describes that? I look forward to being unable to cook food simply because I was within 50m of someone calling kier a wanker and didn't immediately religion of peace him in the head. Once again you have completely ignored the genuine and honest concerns of the people. You have removed their legal outlets to tell you how much they fucking hate you. Are we taking bets on how long until we get a 2021 style molotoving of all the communications network or some shit again? The fact that the entire country came out to call you fucking retarded is a shock even in a normal situation but for everyone to be united on fucking hating you even when the country is perhaps the most divided it has ever been in recent politics should tell you something, which of course they know, they just don't care about.

More like expiring rapper.
How do people feel about the BBC investigation in the police?
The bbc is nothing more than state propaganda created by the overpaid gentry funded by their friends in politics as a way to siphon as much money as possible from the tax payer. They are rarely honest and even when they make good shit it's always overshadowed by them protecting paedophiles or all being on drugs or countless other things. They will never give a shit about the real problems. They'll never talk about how much time police waste on absolute bullshit like hate crimes or any of that stuff. They won't even touch how often they fail women. There is so much wrong with the police in this country that if the worst you can find is that someone might have said nigger then you are either astonishingly retarded or much more likely just a propagandist.
I think we may see the worst Christmas spend in history this year.
Will keir even allow us to have a christmas? I mean we certainly can't have a white christmas because of the global warmings and the horrible racism and with how the country is I'd be more willing to bet we have a red christmas than a white one anyway. Hardly even allowed to have a christmas at all now. Let's be honest there is a 0% chance he wishes this country a merry christmas. He will 100% say happy holidays and end some faggy bullshit about wishing all the other scum a whatever even if they don't celebrate christmas.
 
Don't worry, they've already arrested one of them. The BBC is implicitly seeking a total purge of wrongthinkers from the ranks of the police. They'll end up even more short-handed than they already are, right when the muz are ramping up to a new wave of violence.
To be fair, anybody who remained a part of the Met Police after it became clear that their new policies would soon involve "death to whitey" they sort of had it coming.
"I can't believe that brown subhumans raping and killing people like me party is raping and killing me!"
That in mind, I really want the faggot undercover journo to undergo horrific tragedy at the hands of his precious niggers.
