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.

Is anyone else blackpilled on the whole "marching and protest" culture at the moment in the UK? It's doing nothing.

I just feel it's a waste of time, no one on these marches want to actually achieve anything of note as they're too scared of the consequences that are required to force change.

The left are organised and militant, the British Islamists even more so, these marches and protests seem to me like a big jolly social event.

Just shows how cucked and meek we are as a nation, they're getting pissed on and asking for more.

If that BBC program is about the case I think it is, one of the poor, persecuted kebab shop owners who was falsely accused of being a noncey child-raper by that young lass..... Was later revealed to indeed be a noncey child-raper, just not of that particular girl. Hell of a coincidence, what are the odds of a man who is a dirty paedo being falsely accused of being a dirty paedo, gives kebab shop owners a bad name, it does.

Thats not quite true. The girl went missing. He was implicated in a series of grooming and the like, in his shop and friend group, but the case went nowhere. The police begin to look at him about the killing. The case is thrown out, as their is little more than he is a groomer, and he made a joke about "girl in the kebab". The documentary is then made, some years after all of this, and they mention he was a groomer and was part of a loose network of men who groomed young girls, and they also pointed out their pakistani origins. The documentary didnt claim he was innocent, more than their was such a culture of abusing young girls that finding her killer is likely not going to happen, and the police failed to do anything about it and completely failed Charlene. She was also one of many underage working girls, which the documentary also pointed out, as well as linking them to grooming gangs pimping them out, and showing many brown faces of the guilty.

I think its unfair to shit on the documentary when it was an important part of bring to the mainstream the grooming gang issue. Sure if it didnt have Enochs Rivers of Blood speech, but I think it did a good job of showing how shit the situation is.

It's the same reason why it's pointless to help shitholes like Somalia, Mexico or India. Even if another country rolled in, cleaned it from the top down and left, they'd be back to their old ways eventually.

They don't have the "liberty" gene in them, as goofy as it sounds, they don't have the recklessness of the browns nor the desire for liberty of the huwiteys.

That doesn't mean they can't get it or that they are doomed. I think it just means that things have to get extremely fire before they realize some things.

It absolutely was, which is the cope that starmer enslavement syndrome sufferers are currently using to minimise the issue. The problem they face is this graph (a):

The year after Labour came to power, accidental releases more than doubled.
 
Can we get a 'days without murder' counter for the top of the thread?

Another stabbing:
I grew up in a very rough, deprived village/small town. Real genuine poverty in most if it. There was nowhere in that town that you’d risk being stabbed waiting for a bus at 9pm. There was nowhere in that down that was a no go area.

Holy SHIT. That's right outside New Street Station (see picture), that place is BUSY on a friday night, usually with coppers idling around in cars, theres bars further down the Queensway. Point is, there would have been tons of people around and this dude just blatantly attacked her then. I usually feel 'safe' around there because there's so many people you think 'nothing can happen' (compared to up on the Bullring where it is poorly lit and not many people). This poor lady and the 19 year old tragically killed on Wednesday, but all the council wants to do is take the flags down and put up bollards for the Xmas markets. 1762604005612.webp
Quote from the BBC article.
Shalini Doal, who works nearby, said she saw the scene when she left work at about 22:00.
"They'd blocked off all the roads, a lot of people were walking past just wondering what had gone on, it was quite a chaotic scene," she said.
"A few of my colleagues had their breaks around the time of the incident, and said they heard a commotion outside, around 9 o'clock."
She said the attack was concerning because she and her colleagues often finished their shifts as late as midnight or 01:00.
"A lot of my colleagues take public transport, take the tram… our safety is at risk essentially, here in the city centre," she added.

That’s terrible - I didn’t realise where it was. That should be a safe area, it’d be full of people.
Poor woman, I hope she pulls through and makes a full recovery.
Still no description of the stabber

Yes. Full of taxi ranks, people waiting for buses, hell the shopping centre bullring is probably still open.
Please note the articles mention "Smallbrook Queensway" and show pictures of further down the queensway (where its a bit run down and sketchy looking, old clubs) IMG_8297.webp
while this attack happened on the doorstep of New Street. She was not 10 metres from the open doors of the Bullring and this was an "unprovoked" attack. This is where girls come from the bars the other side of new street to get taxis and ubers. Where people wait for buses and trains until after midnight. This is absolutely unacceptable and if it turns out to be a muzzie (no description yet) i am going to need to be restrained from fedposting

Same reason Dudley has a port. Because they fucking can. (Also because canals, but who’s splitting hairs?)

Protests are the festivals of old. Kids today go to the protest to be seen, to have the coolest outfit and the best drums, the funniest placard and wackiest face painting. They want to get in the media. Being apparently angry and parading around doing performative politics is the new fashion statement. See also: queer shit, trannies.

That stabbing right outside New Street is sadly not shocking to me. It should be, as it’s a busy area even late at night, but Brum city centre is dodge-a-nutter even of a weekday dinnertime, and I’ve been accosted by lunatics on numerous occasions of a late evening there. How tf are we supposed to live like this, though? Police every 200m, or do we all have to be armed, or what? Maybe more people need to run in to tackle psychotic arseholes when they go on a stabby rampage, but people shouldn’t have to. Why are there so many people doing this insane shit? No, really - are they all just yampy, or some flavour of religious idiocy, racism, trying to rob people, what is it?

It's a genuine question- why have stabbings exploded in the last 4-5 weeks? Is it just because they are being reported on more (as with the prison releases) or have a boat load of migrants arrived suddenly or a knife sale in Dunelm? Are these all criminals who got let out of prison through the release program? What is going on?

As frustrating as this is it’s probably the more strategic move long term. Reform are our last chance of maybe being able to fix some of this peacefully and Big Baz can’t vote for them in 4 years time if he’s in prison for going paki bashing.

If Reform turn out to be damp squibs that don’t do anything or don’t do enough and mass casualty incidents keep happening, I think that’s when those protests and marches will get spicy because people will have been shown that using the system to fix things isn’t working.

Most people aren’t there yet. Even our resident Positive Polly @Made In Wales is some sort of copium elemental.

Yeah, until your side starts making the elite fear for their own lives like they make you fear for yours with weaponized immigration no amount of walking about and promising to vote differently will save you. At the very minimum, you should be testing guillotines on pig corpses in the town square.
 
Remember the story posted earlier in the week about Bovaer - the substance legally required to be fed to cows that reduces their farts by 50%?
The one that wasn;t a concern and the Danish farmers were kicking off for no reason?
A compound that the company assure is, and i quote their words, "safe and effective" (lol) well, the trials have ended and a review of the information is being carried out before moving forward.

Did you know this shite was in your milk? Because we've all been drinking it for a year.

Article

The company spokesman added that it had been "successfully used for over three years by thousands of farmers in over 25 countries."

But he said: "We are aware that in recent days, some farmers have raised concerns about cow health.

"We are actively engaging with the relevant organizations to ensure that all these concerns are fully investigated and properly addressed.

"In previously reported cases, Bovaer was not identified as a contributing factor to the health concerns raised."

Just a coincidence that the trials have ended days after reports of cows falling over.

Goat chads rise up.
 
Was in the gym earlier and stopped in Greggs for a light lunch on the way back. The staff were white and looked racist. The sausage roll was piping hot. In these dark times take comfort in these short burst of light. Nature feels like it could be beginning to heal.
