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.

I speculate that this was largely a response to the 2014-2016 reports that more ‘British muslims’ joined ISIS than were part of the British armed services.

More “British” Muslims volunteered for ISIS in that short space of time then the entire number of active members of the various forms of the IRA during the entirety of The Troubles.

We’re pretty lucky that Mohammed enjoyers don’t have the same work ethic as Paddies.

weapon control is one of the most retardedly handled things that gets more retarded the more you consider it

if you want gun control, sure, whatever, if a mohamadeen gets even a 50 year old semi auto ak snuck in and aims it outside running distance then he gets do do whatever he wants until cops arrive, but ok, but you don't get rid of shit like knives. how the fuck are people that retarded and are retarded enough to let that go through so far, have you seen a prison? have you known anybody who worked at a prison? have you watched movies with prisons? have exposed metal and a negro with the knowledge and you have a shank, or plastics such as a toothbrush and the knowledge on how to file it. cartel boys make things wire like that are long enough, slip by, and stab directly to the heart.

but ok, let's pretend we sign a "knives are bad and are only sold at walmart" agreement. if we do a thought experiment where i'm a mentally deranged, angry student, and you take knives and guns from me, and my girl cheated on me bad with some guy who starts doing little smug grins and calling me shit after a already bad day, well we'll assume i have a pair of steel toe shoes or boots or can get them. practice kicking for bonus points, maybe wait a while so it's less obvious i'm doing something, then one day, walk by him not looking directly at him making an effort to look emotionless, then i kick that fucker directly in the balls. step 2, if he keels over, then you'd take your knee and drive it directly into his face. at that point or after stage 1, he'll likely go on the floor. proceed to kick him in the face. zero weapons required, have fun banning steel toes.

if you have someone that's deranged and/or someone that enjoys it, or a mohamadeen who just looks at it like a fuckin arcade game while shouting like a retarded african, all the banning and safety measures are just a dick stroking meeting, without ever dealing with the disease and not symptom problems like mohamadeens giving free reign to make radical groups, mass murder events might be toned down, but serial killers, "spider" killers instead of bear in flesh shops will go up, and as a species, or realistically as a form of organic life, we are nothing if not adept at finding new and exciting ways of killing. if you remove all knives, all it takes is one tik tok video or some shit of "yo did you know you can throw a rock at glass, pick the wickedest looking shard, wrap something around your hands or the "grip" if you're feeling frisky, and then you can cap them homeboys disrespekkin you? bro no cap fo real". you don't get to be so naive that you vote to import infinite immigrants without infinite resources, and that if you metaphorically ban supermarkets people just stop eating

What do mean, fellow Anglo-Saxon? Surely we should all get together to express violent racial aggravated intentions towards the state using our real names and in ways which are easily monitored by the police and security services? It is the most intelligent thing a Based British Patriot this side of the Ganges can do.

‘the remaining British launched a desperate Forlorn Hope, using sharpened 4H pencils from the Keswick Pencil Factory. The previous government sweeps of all pointy objects had remarkably missed a cache of yellow 4H pencils, which had been sunk in a waterproof barrel in Windermere, as an act of desperation.
The fighting was terrible, with many casualties, but the British had had enough, and finally fought all the way to Westminster.
In an act that historians have described as, ‘rather ironic, really’, Fuhrer starmer was dispatched with a sharpened pencil through the eye.
The commemorative ‘Keswick Tapestry’, considered a work of great skill comparable to the Bayeux, after which it is modelled, shows this in great detail…’

Staggering quote:
lays bare how there was greater population growth and churn between 2021 and 2024 than previously thought after the ONS revised its statistics this week, with a net inflow of 2.9million non-British arrivals over this period.

When this was added to the existing non-British population, the number surged to 13.6million (19.6 per cent).

It means that one in every 25 people in the UK today has arrived in the last four years.
