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.

Welcome to Cluedo.

Sir Keir Starmer has been fatally attacked, and it is up to you to bring the perpetrator to justice (or, at the very least, force-feed him/her a vegan sausage roll).

There are six suspects, but who is responsible:

Mrs. Peacock is an avowed bourgeois communist and a member of Palestine Action
Colonel Mustard is a patriot and member of Reform UK, also hates niggers and co.
Reverend Green is a moderate who is pro-Burnham and despises the evil Starmer Government.
Professor Plum is Jewish, pro-Israel and a Netanyahu fan boy.
Miss Scarlet is Russian, pro-Putin and almost certainly a KGB agent.
Mrs. White is a Pensioner whose money was taken by Starmer and given to Ukraine.

Good luck, Detective!

Former Man U payer and noted geopolitical expert wanker Gary Neville has decided to off us the benefit of his enormous wisdom on the Heaton Park attack. Is it a result of Islam being a violent shithole religion populated by sub 90 IQ browns? Is it a result of jews being murderous cunts in Gaza? No it's the fault of white dudes putting up flags:

Ah yes, Neville the multi-millionaire who couldn't even be arsed to save his hometown's football club (Bury FC) from going tits up - even if it meant stepping down temporarily as owner of Salford City (in fact, only Beckham and Butt seem to have any involvement with them these days).

I am sure that his pearls of wisdom will stand the test of time like the teachings of Plato and Goldman...

Thanks to @Mound Dweller for the news dump, though I personally would be very careful when around Observer/Guardian articles as the associated brain-rot from reading them frequently is deeply unpleasant.

Also, I read that Rugby League side St. Helens received a bomb threat on their Instagram account... just another day in the DEI Paradise that is Airstrip One.

Looks like Victoria Coren-Only-Connect-Mitchell got herself into trouble during the hosting of Friday's HIGNFY, whereby she stated that Euan Blair's Multiverse Company would be given the contract for the Digital ID's.

Satan and Cherie's Solicitors have been in touch.

@teriyakiburns You might be onto something as the direct route from Liverpool to Oxford is M62, M6, M42 and M40 - I am sure that the CCTV cameras would have caught these lads if they had travelled down to pull this prank off. Easy to prove if it was them or the person whining is a retarded lying fag.

He had rape fantasies and was speaking to multiple younger girls [ages not confirmed, but only going after 18 year olds is freak behaviour] enough that he got his account banned several times.

The driver ended up being arrested for nothing but reckless driving.
The media still pushes the bullshit the police are 'racist', so many Black lads ignorantly still fear them.

I told people this was going to happen once Shabana Mahmood became Home Secretary. And then the migrant hotels will get turned into "protected sites".
She wants to ban people who committed unrelated crimes from attending football so this is the next step. You will obey Starmer and you will not protest or else!
And yes whilst it's being marketed as being aimed towards the plasticine people, we all know what it'll be getting used for instead, especially with Digital ID protests too.

Never let a crisis go to waste. Then again it wasn't really a crisis, two people were stabbed, something that happens all the time in London, but because the victims were Jewish not Black, it got attention.
In a sane country, the only lesson would be to train police marksmen better, since they obviously think bullets magically disappear on missing.

How weird. Wasn’t this the same kind of behaviour the Syrian kid in the Huddersfield school that ended up being all over the papers due to “bullying” was up to? The media painted that particular kid to be an innocent saint, but if you’ve seen the documentary none of us were supposed to watch, you’ll know he frequently talked about raping girls and women. Pretty sure it was a threat to rape one British kid’s mother that set off the beating he got.

I’m sure it’s only two people, though. Not like there’s any precedent for certain religious backgrounds treating British women (indeed, all women) like pieces of meat, eh?

Thunkful.
 
Looks like the Digital ID plans are going to shit:



Keir Starmer has been warned that Britain's digital ID scheme could become a "goldmine for hackers and scammers to steal your money".

Labour's plan to introduce digital ID cards for all Britons is based on an Estonian system, but experts have raised the alarm over cybersecurity vulnerabilities already seen in the Baltic state.

The Prime Minister revealed on September 26 that the mandatory digital ID would be essential for proving the "right to work" in the UK.

He claimed that introducing digital IDs would tackle illegal employment and provide "countless benefits" to Britons.

The documents, which GB News has been told will not be called BritCards, draws inspiration from Estonia's two-decade-old digital identity programme, which allows its 1.4 million citizens to access government services, vote, and conduct banking through electronic cards.

However, Estonia's system has experienced significant security failures, with fraudsters successfully stealing millions of euros from citizens through sophisticated scams and data breaches.

Estonian authorities recorded 837 major fraud incidents last year, with citizens losing over €7million to criminals exploiting the digital ID system, according to official figures revealed by the Daily Mail.

The losses have escalated dramatically, with €7.5million stolen in just the first half of this year alone, though experts believe the actual figures are significantly higher due to unreported cases.

Criminals have developed increasingly sophisticated methods to circumvent the system's encryption, primarily through phishing schemes that trick users into revealing their pin codes.

The fraudsters then gain access to victims' bank accounts, with many cases involving fake communications from supposed government officials or banking representatives who convince citizens to disclose their security credentials.

In a recent incident, a 73-year-old woman from Põlva County, Estonia, lost €30,000 after fraudsters posing as electricity officials and bank staff convinced her to share her ID-card pin, the Daily Mail reports.

Another case involved a woman from Ida-Viru County who allegedly disclosed her pin's during fake calls from Estonia's Rescue Board and her bank's security department, leading to a €6,000 loan being fraudulently obtained.

These schemes typically involve convincing Estonian-speaking callers and professionally written emails without spelling errors, making detection difficult.

Security experts warn that Britain's proposed digital ID database would become an irresistible target for cybercriminals and extortion groups seeking to exploit citizens' personal information.

Duncan McCann from Good Law Project said the centralised system would be a "highly valued prize" for hackers, predicting it was "only a matter of time" before such data appeared on the dark web.

"It is impossible to make a 100 per cent secure system," Mr McCann explained, adding that aggregating everyone's personal details, employment rights, and photographs creates an exceptionally valuable dataset for fraudsters.

The constant access required by employers to verify workers' rights would create numerous entry points for potential attackers, he warned.

Despite Government claims about tackling illegal immigration, experts question whether digital IDs would achieve this goal, as many irregular migrants arrive seeking welfare benefits rather than employment.

Reform UK has dismissed the prime Minister's proposals, suggesting the public recognises that Sir Keir is "continuing the Tory legacy of high taxes and mass immigration".

More than 2.8 million people have a signed a petition against the proposed digital ID scheme.
In a response issued on October 2, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology said: "The new system will be designed in accordance with the highest security standards to protect against a comprehensive range of threats, including cyber-attacks.

"We will launch a public consultation in the coming weeks and work closely with employers, trade unions, civil society groups and other stakeholders, to co-design the scheme and ensure it is as secure and inclusive as possible.

"Following consultation, we will seek to bring forward legislation to underpin this system."

Tbf that is a pretty fair thing to be worried about. That's the type of shit that would normally keep you up if we hadn't imported things that are somehow worse than scousers.

This is just the english version of how americans say you can arrest any leftist and there's an almost 100% chance they will have child porn on their phone. Arrest any brown in England and they will either be a rapist or have links to isis. Hey at least this one had his brain sprayed on the floor instead of being stuck in prison so we can fix him as if we're all fucking retarded fujos wanking over dahmer.

If the victims were black it would also get attention. We passed a new law only a couple months ago because a single nigger got stabbed. The reason why black victims don't get attention is because the criminal is normally also black and both are responsible, that's your problem.

Womp womp. Suffer nigger. I look forward to him still trying to push it through and being the absolute laughing stock of the world. Crazy how someone can fuck a dead pig and is still more respected than keir. I do believe him when he says it will offer 'countless benefits' though mostly because I don't think he knows how to count. Bullshit on the Estonia part though, come on don't try lie to me, we all know what country you're looking at.

Akshooally...

If Starmer is determined to force people to use a system that is open to fraud, they can in turn threaten to sue him for attempted defrauding.

I know that I would IF he is PM by then - less likely than the Labour Party overtaking Reform UK.

Let us also not forget that recently some Nigerian scammers threatened sextortion on a boy who then took his life. The state will be sued every time this happens and Starmer can be sued as a private individual as well...

Anyway, who wants to see Owen Jones being turfed (not terfed) out of the Labour Conference:


 
Of course Estonian ID plans are shit. Their country’s about fifteen people and a cow. How the fuck is that system supposed to work just fine for a country with a population the size of the U.K.?

Edit: MadeInWales, your attachment’s not working, but the idea of that smug beak Jones getting hoofed from a Labour conference brings me much joy. Why does anyone take his “journalism” seriously? Just stick to BlueSky with the rest of the wackos, Owen.

Strange, but then again YT has been weird recently - either not loading videos, or demanding to know your age or 'you must have an account to view the video... and you're not allowed to not see the ads.'

Basically, Corbyn's #1 fanboy asked a bunch of retarded questions and somehow managed to get even more retarded answers.

Weirdly enough, the only barely sensible person interviewed in the video was ex-Tory MP Michael Gove!
