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.

Are you able to provide a source to show he had converted to Islam? Not wanting to argue about this - just want to verify it's accuracy before repeating it to anyone else.

I'm aware he had al-qaeda training manuals at home but I wasn't aware it had been confirmed he had become a muslim.

Taking a shit in the kitchen does not make it food (unless you are a nigger).

--------------------------------

To play devil's advocate on the 'terrorism\not-terrorism' argument, there have been eyewitness reports which suggest that at least one of the perpetrators was having some sort of psychotic episode. Does a nigger frying their brain with skunk before getting stabby on a train count as terrorism?

I can't provide a source and you'd be best not to bring it up to anyone because afaik it's still an arrestable offence.

Without digging around the internet, which I have no desire to, the last I heard on the story were the officials saying there were materials and he may have changed his name, like you say. They went as far as saying he was a jihadi without saying it, which is what they're doing here.

Sorry I can't help more.

That's where the insufferable Marsh family live.

Whoever it is making threats to kill deserves a few years at the local HMP.

@Duane Dibbley is right - there's more to the Axel story than we're being told.

Let's see, can't travel because terrorism...

Can't go out late at night because terrorism...

Can't go to the match because terrorism...

Remember when the NWO said you'll live in 10 second cells... well, the Muslim Rapey and Stabbey bunch are ensuring this is done.

Yes if the hat man is telling you to commit acts of terror/knife up an entire train carriage in the name of the Devil or whatever.
'Shoulder length hair' - dreads? other eyewitness accounts describe the attacker(s) as bald or having dreads.

Also IIRC in Islam, you don't need to officially convert, you just say the shahadah. A mates boyfriend had a bit of an upset at work (BT) with one of the lads there 'jokingly' getting people to recite the shahadah without them knowing what it meant.
 
Some afternoon bits from you know where:

* Migrant crisis: Hundreds of illegal migrants are sneaking back into the UK after being handed £3,000 of taxpayers’ cash to leave.

* Driver suspended and hate crime inquiry opened after Jewish man 'trapped in bus'.

* World’s most dangerous jellyfish washes up on popular British beach as urgent warning issued.

* Jews faced with 'Nazi salutes' NOT hate crime victims, prosecutors claim.

* 'UK must act fast or fall behind' warns Coinbase executive on Bitcoin reserves.

* 'It's the beginning of the end!' Stephen Dixon opens up about Rachel Reeves' Budget - and a 'theory' he has about Keir Starmer's Cabinet (and I think he's sort-of right).

* Pensioner banned from Aldi store after telling staff member ‘go to Specsavers’ in heated row.

* Labour planning £10 BILLION splurge on asylum housing contracts stretching to 2039 despite promising to end use of migrant hotels.

It wasn't even that long ago when I lived there but when I look at the demographics now it's like they brought in half of the Middle East in just five years. I feel bad for the British to the extent that no matter who you vote for, you get fucked in the same way. And for the lack of sunlight.

I travel there for work. They have half and half Palestine an St Andrews Cross flags on lampposts. The Palestine flag is on the flag post side to show who is dominate. Glasgow is conquered, The rest of the city will be the Irish tricolour and/or the rainbow flag.

I was going to comment on this earlier, fuck just name it CuckTV. I would not be surprised if Julia and Jeremy go now. Imagine kicking your best anchor for some basic bitch Facebook posts. I switched over to bloody GBNews, Penny Smith is there, which surprised me, I remember her from GMTV.

I’m a meme but it’s a sensible one.

Addendum.

The one earbud thing was to be still aware of what’s going on around you.

When choosing a torch, tactical is code for fighting with, it will have metal edges designed for striking people.

Learn to hold a torch in a strike position. Example, thumb or finger over button to blind opponent and ready to hit someone in the head at the same time.

LED torches can be pre-focused enough to temporarily blind. Avoid torches with 10 settings on one button. You don’t need this drama when your life is on the line.

That notts forest fan is self doxing by providing his team and profession.

I have a team, I never mention it or the natural rivals on here but we’re getting fucked as usual.
My football chatter is reserved for my teams forums just like my baseball chatter.

I think I'm going to need to start carrying something (recommendations welcome)

Legally the best thing you can do is a pack of ham. There's people that will tell you to carry a penknife under three inches but there's two problems with that. One you are not killing someone with it, stab wounds don't get deadly (threat stopping) until about 4inches, hence the three inch limit. And two it's no less illegal. You are still carrying a knife for the express purpose of stabbing someone, police don't give a shit if it's self defence or not, you have the knife because you want to stab someone with it end of story. There is basically no legal difference between carrying a penknife you can legally carry or a sword. The penknife laws are just that you can have one and not have it instantly confiscated, but it's still trumped by the no weapons rules. Same as everything else, carry a fucking pipe wrench if you want, they'll still say you only have that for the purpose of killing someone (in self defence). If they decide you have something for self defence then it is a weapon and will be confiscated. They have literally created a country where you have two choices, you either die or go to jail for murder. If you're going to jail anyway you might as well do whatever the fuck. Metal torches work, walking sticks are good for defending yourself, aerosols in the eyes can blind, broken glass bottles are sharp and pointy. But you use them and they're still charging you with using a weapon illegally. The legality of carrying something doesn't matter because it's illegal to use anything to defend yourself.

You can get stab vests that look like normal coats, basically a standard waterproof coat but with a layer of steel and kevlar sewn in. Or thick dense coats also stop a lot of slashes. Chainmail does also work and is the best option if you get proper riveted chainmail but that is both expensive and impractical. Best thing I can say without breaking some weapon law is your teeth are the closest things to built in weapons your body has, eyes are incredibly soft and squishy and can really hurt, and that men have balls. Don't play fair. The best you are going to be able to do is aim for the knees try and get the guy on the ground and well, idk if you've ever seen monkey attacks, we're not too far off of them, or trannies in manchester. Priority is taking control of the knife though. You want to aim not to grab but to block the forearm and then once the momentum is gone then grab it. After that just hope you're stronger or someone else can help. The edges of a table on a train are pretty sturdy and somewhat pointed, getting your head/neck slammed into one of them would hurt. But it's all useless. No one is doing any of that shit. Adrenaline hits and you are either running away or if you do end up fighting you're not doing so with some strategy or whatever, just doing what happens in that moment and hoping for the best. Even then if everything goes perfectly you're still being charged with manslaughter at the minimum.

Nah switch over to babestation instead. They've got the babestation babes which they have. The news was never worth watching anyway it wasn't. Might as well have a proper look at some ding donging honkers if you're watching vapid meaningless bullshit.

Man I don't like hamsters either but not that much. If only they were hamsters. Country would be fixed in days considering how many people I know that had stories about hamsters randomly killing themselves in some cartoonish manner.

I'm going to go full hamster defence; hamsters do not die randomly in cartoonish ways they are fucking murdered en masse by careless children and parents who don't know how to actually look after them or bother to educate their kids about respecting animals. The wire cages and tubes we sell are straight up animal cruelty and you have psychopaths who joke about microwaving them, throwing them at walls or claiming they ''just explode'' and laughing about it to cover up their gross negligence. Petsathome sends hamsters willingly to slaughter on a conveyor belt of death worse than Auschwitz. Hamster Lives Matter. Hammie dindu nuffin

So what you're saying is, the comparison to black people was even more accurate than we expected?
 
I can't wait for Adolescence Season 2; Thomas the Tank Engine is going to talk to a white kid to board a train and kill a bunch of blacks in a segregated carriage. A myriad of white people are going to prank fall on the assailants defending their black masters.
