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.

"Being British is about supporting the English football team."
That's at least three countries prepared to tell you that you are not just wrong but genuinely retarded.
That was the one that stuck with me too. Jeevun telling me he knows nothing about being British without directly saying it.
I guess that was his shot at talking the language of the "common man", the condescending piece of shit.
I am so tired of these people trying to tell me what it means to be British. Nothing boils my piss quite like it. The pure sanctimonious hypocrisy of having someone that is second generation at best lecture the general population on what it means to be one of them. I can barely tolerate them any more as it is, but this really is antagonism, it's provoking a reaction in me of " you're not one of us, fuck off back to your parents' country".

I thought this was fascinating. Learn the mindset of one subset of our invaders. Also explains why Badenoch will never be fit to rule ( other than the extremely obvious reason ). No concept of time and no word for maintenance !


Let's say we screen out all the rapists from the Congo........
 
Well he’s welcome to go live somewhere else then. Look, I wasn’t born here either, and Ingerlund in the World Cup tends to turn many city streets round here into something rivalling the Shankill Road (which gives me nightmares). If I didn’t find it funny (especially when Ingerlund go out on penalties), I’d fuck off and live elsewhere. IT’S THE NATIONAL FLAG, you twat. People here have absolutely, 100% nailed-on right to fly that flag whenever and wherever they want here. It’s the flag of the country you’re living in, dumbass.

What is this insane belief that British or English people can’t show any kind of patriotism or recognition of their country, because doing so is somehow aggressive and meant as a threat? If you can’t cope with seeing the flag of the country you’re living in, go and live in another country whose flag makes you feel less weak at the knees.

And you don’t go walking into someone else’s country then tell them when and how to fly their own flag. Tf do you think you are? Second, third generation? You have even less reason to complain about the flag, and a damn cheek doing so when successive generations of your family have been quite happy enjoying life here.

I’m a soft twat and try to see the best in people, but it really is starting to look even to me like this is a concerted effort by vested interests to have England refuse itself so much that it’s instead run by outsiders to their own benefit. Who needs borders and a military when this is applauded at home?

So I guess I’m now ‘far right’. Wild stuff.

>'Everything that offends me is Far Right'

The above needs to be told to all of these retarded lefties.
 
In relative terms it's like making a chair, you can't just do it, you still need skill and knowledge but it's possibly the easiest thing to make that needs skill and knowledge.
Your description brought back a buried memory that when age 10 I found a box of 22lr on a shelf in a tumbledown shed, and managed to make a “gun” out of a piece of scrap steel hydraulic pipe that just happened to be the right diameter, with another bit welded on as a handle. My firing pin thingy didn’t work so I resorted to holding the contraption in a vice and hitting the end of the cartridge with a claw hammer to see what would happen. The bullet ricocheted off the concrete floor, shot past my head by inches and hit the ceiling. My ears rang for the rest of the day and it cured me of ever wanting to make my own firearm thereafter.

I want to know when it’s okay to fly the national flag. When it’s okay to talk about Christmas, and Easter, and the royal family. How are British people expected to bend over backwards for every Tom, Dick and Sanjay that now live here?

Because as far as I can see (and as I said, I wasn’t even born here), if you don’t like it when British people fly their flag in their own country, you can shut the fuck up and put up with it. Likewise Christmas, Easter, royals, non-halal meat, not marrying your cousins, not treating women like livestock etc etc etc.

It’s actual fucking insanity that British people in their own country should be expected to change their ways to avoid offending foreigners visiting. There’s a simple answer if someone is offended by how British people act and how British traditions are - LEAVE. It’s not humanitarian or welcoming or equity or whatever else to suppress centuries of Britain’s own culture in a vain attempt to please each foreign group that complains. Isn’t there a story in the bible about the man, his son and a donkey, and not trying to always please others?

Does Britain not have the self-belief in its own history and traditions that it can say that the national flag can be flown whenever? Or that the law of the land is the law of Great Britain - and not Sharia? What the hell is wrong to make a country want to completely deny everything that makes it what it is, to avoid any potential upset of others?

Perhaps it’s some daft collective guilt over colonial history? Plenty of countries have treated others like shit. The capable adult view is that all history has good as well as bad points. One bad point does not mean utterly disposing of a country forever.

I do hope all this is simply a fashion fad, and people will be back to British tradition being an everyday part of life, with no hysteria or worrying about who it’s offending. Still, it’s very worrying that so many in the populace can be trained by their mobile phones to say ‘Ingerlund flags bad, it’s raycis innit’. The whole thing seems utterly insane. It really is frightening how deeply social media and it’s silly game of moral telephone affects us.
 
>Claims to love the flag
>Is mortified when people fly it
>Talks about "British Values™"
>Defends people who don't share said values because they happen to look like him.
>Ignores said values anyway(as in less than a second later) and reduces British identity down to stereotypes of drinking tea and watching the footy.
>Ignoring that said people don't do that as well anyway.


I hate this quasi patriotism browns use to pretend to be British. Open hatred of us would be more welcome. At least then they are not hiding their true intent. If this guy was consistent in his beliefs he would welcome the flag and talk down on those that are scared of it, as in his words "Britain is about ideals not race". So those scared can be chauked up to those not sharing the same ideas of "Equality", "Respect". But of couse in reality he's identifies with the refugees, because they share the same culture and language he does. He only pretends to be British to exploit the system.

Every single none white country which was part of the Empire, that we left is now a fucking hole.

We have no need to feel bad for colonising these countries. We did them a favour.

They were incapable of governing themselves. We bought order and stability and now, since we left, all of the non white former parts of the empire are absolute cesspits.

Something largely done by the wealthy for the benefit of the wealthy, in an era where British officers bought their commissions or got given it by a well-connected uncle and sent the rank and file out who were just regular people trying to earn a shilling.

Few regular British people have anything to feel guilty about regards Colonialism. It reminds me of the slavery guilt White Americans are taught to feel when more White people died fighting to end slavery in America than ever actually owned slaves. Slavery competed with the working man in America. It didn't benefit him.

That's just part of being male. If you don't have some sort of 'yea i was a kid and almost fucking killed myself in the most retarded way' story then you did something wrong. I managed to whack myself in the head with some wood incredibly hard and cut myself with a nail that was sticking out of it and I was just thinking like man if that was at a slightly different angle I would have just nailed a board of wood into my head. Or the good old classic 'threw deodorant cans in a fire' and got the true arab experience and almost blew myself up. How else would you learn not to throw pressurised metal containers full of highly flammable gas in a fire without almost dying?

Learn the mindset of one subset of our invaders.
If I had to preemptively guess the mindset is less of a mindset and more of a lack of one. It's a bit of a meme but the biggest difference is just lower iq. Indians are only slightly above literally retarded. A lot of dumb English people are dumb because they don't know things, a lot of dumb indians are dumb because they are unable to not not know things. They don't interact with knowledge, they know what they have read in a textbook, they don't know why that happens and have no interest in why either, they simply know it. They're learning their times tables but not how to count. As much as I think the woman in the video is retarded I do kinda agree with her that having rigid seasons is fucking dumb. I don't give a shit about some moon whatever, spring starts when flowers do, summer starts when you can go out in shorts 24/7, autumn starts when trees start to turn brown and winter starts when you need to start thinking about the sun going down. Like what fucking retarded autist system is going to turn around and say uhh yea no actually winter starts a few days before christmas??????
They won't. Because for as much as they will bang on about being offended by this and that they do so not out of a feeling of genuine offence but instead entitlement. They are coming here because they think that they are entitled to be here. They are entitled to a better life. They are entitled to our social systems and our wages and our land and all that shit. They are quite literally the karen demanding to speak to a manager over absolutely nothing but for an entire country. They know india is a shithole, they know England is better, they then think that they are then entitled to that life in England. They don't understand that life here is better because we don't do the same disgusting acts as they do in india, they just think 'england good me life england now'. When they get here they don't understand that nationalism is what dragged us through the past century of war and the subsequent rebuilding that made this country good to live in. They see something that they don't understand or like and demand it be removed because they don't understand it. You know, like a fucking child or a karen. That's just how low iq works, it's stimuli -> reaction just like you would if you were living in the wild, it's not stimuli -> thought -> reaction like in civilisation or a harsh climate. They have evolved to not need to think or plan, crops don't have an off season or anything like that. The only thing that matters is the here and now. I've been forced to listen to so many fucking indians and so many of the retards will tell you some shit like 'oh yea i wanted to be a doctor but i failed college' and you listen to them and you realise that, no, they didn't want to be a doctor, that was just the kneejerk reaction to leaving school and having to pick a levels. They didn't want to be a doctor, they just thought that was the best thing to fall into. And you also notice that they would never have been a doctor anyway because their fucking brain does not work on a level high enough to be a doctor, they can get high grades for gcses because they're fucking gcses and anyone can pass them, there's no brain power needed, you just have to memorise shit. But once you get to college or uni and have to start actually thinking about things they all flop out because their brain is not wired for that sort of thought process. They are more like computers than scientists, they think with memorised formulas and equations not with thoughts. Iq is a fucking meme for the most part but if an entire country is bordering on diagnosable learning difficulties then that's not really ignorable. It's tied to a lack of critical thinking and impulsivity, also heavily correlated with incest though which way the causality goes is up to your imagination. Basically these people have an iq so low that they are genetically unable to create a civilisation, their brains are simply not wired in a way that would let them plan things or worry about consequence or the people around them. They are focused solely on themselves and what they want in that exact moment. They are less doctors and rocket scientists and more autist temper tantrum. Think an entire society of james cage whites. There is a reason that out of the three main civilisation builders from throughout history all of them have been in somewhat hostile environments. European and Asian through winter, Mesoamerican through either winters or deserts. Same for Egyptians. If you do not have food now then you cannot just go find some. You are surrounded by a lifeless wasteland either because it's winter or a desert. If you do not have a way to find and stockpile food from now until you can get more then you just fucking die. You can't go into the jungle or the plains or the savanna and find some fruit on a tree or a gazelle to hunt. Humanity started in Africa, civilisation started in Mesopotamia. There is a reason it did not start in Africa. The entire concept of civilisation is based on one singular thing: agriculture. Without agriculture you simply do not have a civilisation. What is the point in planting seeds and waiting months before they give you food when you can move 5m and find food already there? I've already talked about it before but humans did not selectively breed agriculture, agriculture selectively bred us. In two ways. If you had shit crops then you couldn't make a living on them and you would return to a hunter gatherer lifestyle. If you had ok crops then you kept the seeds for the next year. If you had good crops you not only lasted through winter but you had extra to distribute. But the people didn't realise it. They weren't being selective, they were being selected. It's less humans picking the best crops, instead it's one unit, the human and the crop are one unit, if one part is selected against then the both were. But it also means that if you were hostile and refused to engage with everyone around you then you were stuck with your seeds and only your seeds, you didn't benefit from anyone else's crop selection. You were excluded from that progression, so the only people that did progress were people that could deal with a more complex society by the standards of that time, until that point there was no reason to interact with external people on any meaningful social level, if someone had something then you could just go get it yourself too, anything you could possibly need other than sex was within your tribe. And it also requires forethought and commitment. If you did not have a brain capable of delayed gratification or attentiveness then the crops would get overgrown and they'd be choked out and die or too weak to produce a full harvest. So only the people who can put off today's pleasure for tomorrow's needs and could deal with a branching and increasingly complex social structure stuck with farming. Thus farmers became the ones who had the mental capacity to build civilisations. A big part of that too is that initial agriculture was shit. If you were a farmer your life was shit. It was objectively a worse way to live, you were at risk of starving at any point from all number of things and the nutrition of the earliest crops was abysmal. Yet they stuck through that hardship to create something truly impactful. Why did they do that? Fuck knows. But that's the mindset of the first civilisation. It's not just as simple as what some people will say of 'oh yea without agriculture civilisation would never have been made', the crops themselves are obviously important but that's not the full picture. Plenty of places namely india and brazil were surrounded by 'crops' even if they were wild, civilisation didn't form because of food, it formed because the people with the food had a very specific mindset and brain. Whether the mindset created civilisation or civilisation created the mindset doesn't really matter, what matters is that one is inextricably linked with the other, you cannot have one without the other. And yet we are importing millions of people who have fucking neither and expecting it to just be fine. And honestly I think a big part of it is this push towards the idea that humans are just humans. We live in England, there's two birds here, the marsh tit and the willow tit. I believe at least that one of them is the most recently discovered English bird. They are quite literally identical, there is absolutely no way to tell them apart visually, the things that are indicators it might be one species is also present on the other. The only way you can tell them apart is that they sound different. Yet they are an entirely different species. You have seagulls that are split into about 20 different species and subspecies where the only difference is that one is a slightly different shade of grey or it has a black stripe in a slightly different place or it's beak is a different colour. And yet I am meant to believe that I am the same as every other human? If I put an african in Scotland and left him there with nothing then he would die. If I did the same thing with a Scot he would live. Because at our very fucking core we have different biology. My organs are literally made of a different material than african's are, specifically visceral fat distribution. Africans look nothing like me, not just skin colour but their entire body, their organs are different, their bones are different, their skull is different, subtle things like the amount/sensitivity of fucking tastebuds, they don't sound anything like me either, they don't think like me and their social structures are not like mine. Yet we are all the same. No one would say that a mandarin duck is the same as a swan, completely different thing. But question if maybe ethnicity or at the very minimum race should be a subspecies of human and you are suddenly a racist. I'm racist if I say that foreigners are just the same as me because that's erasing their culture and heritage and forcing them to comply with my racist colonizer mindset but if I start talking about differences beyond 'his skin is not white' then that's also fucking racist somehow. Saying we're the same is racist, saying we're different is racist. And people are surprised when suddenly calling them racist stops making them question themselves.
Few regular British people have anything to feel guilty about regards Colonialism.
I don't think I've ever met someone who feels genuinely guilty over it. Mostly because you just fucking can't. It'd be like me feeling guilty for crashing a plane into the towers. I didn't do a colonialism so how the fuck am I meant to feel sorry for it? How am I meant to take the blame for something I categorically did not fucking do, especially when it's at the benefit of people who will outright lie and pretend they didn't do things that they did actually do and should feel guilty over. If a black man can go shoot a pregnant woman and he dindunuffin then I fucking didn't either. The only people that can feel guilty for it are people so propagandized they don't feel guilty for it but someone else pretends to feels guilty and they express it for them.
 
Calais. Butty sounds like something a poofy frog would say.
Ruining fish and chips by putting the chips in a sarnie is inbread (heh) savagery only found on council estates.
> Attempts to call the butty "bourgeois." Also condemns it as being a product of "council estates".

Performative class-signalling getting a bit tangled up there, Duane. :)
 
Own up, ye non-whites!
Non whites are also brits you fucking racist. Everyone who comes to this country or hell even just fucking thinks about it, they're all English. Unless it's time to take ownership of colonialism that is.

My least favourite thing with food in this country isn't arguing over the name of things but the fucking every single tropical juice thing they all have fucking banana in them and they all taste like absolute shit because of it. Disgusting fruit that ruins every otherwise promising juice.
