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 just looked into the only arrest that came as a result of being associated with Epstein and from it I learnt the age of consent is 15 in France and that incest is completely legal (you just can't get married; kids are fine though), so it could be worse.

Can we avoid the topic of the age of consent? Any thread it is mentioned on gets derailed by weirdos. You have people arguing with with people who they agree with as they are performatively angry enough or think woman have the mental capacity to consent.

Liverpool fans have never shut up about the time they were all holocausted (by the security guards letting them do it to themselves), and an actual mass fatality event would be even worse in attracting attention. I think deep down the Muzzies realize that going after footie would actually start the holy war they claim to want instead of just the meek submission they actually want.

Either that or the hooligans just pick the bits of shrapnel out of their skulls with their bare hands before looking around for the cunts that glassed them, unaware that someone actually attempted to blow them to pieces.

Is there a single supermarket that's not full of brown people? I swear even the more bougie-White ones like M&S are full of browns these days. Sainsbury's has to be the worst offender with their Halal slaughter shelves that put me off from ever shopping there again.


I've noticed that too. Way more ads and signs with christmas on them than any recent year. Mcdonalds have been putting massive signs up that just say random shit like "Christmas Joy" or "Merry Christmas" which feels strange for a company that dived head first into wokeness a few years ago.

This! It's becasue they don't hire teenagers anymore. That use to be a job you got at school for cider money. And stayed in if you were retarded. It's fucking shocking.

I don't see how importing a brown service place whilst making our own children lazy every became policy.

I'm talking customers. My local supermarkets are mostly staffed by old-white people with a few younger White people(Teenagers?) stocking the shelves. The exception being my local Sainsbury's and Tesco.

Money and Boomers. "Who cares what happens in 30 years I'll be dead by the time that happens" Is the mantra of every boomer.

There’s no hooligans left at football now. It’s so fucking expensive that only middle class and better can afford to go. Liverpool especially have a problem with rich and dumb tourists wanting the ‘YNWA’ experience and paying stupidly to wave a scarf and sing along like ‘real’ fans do. A terrorist attack on somewhere like that would be milked by the club to the ends of the earth. They already have a daft amount of foreign female fans who want to be genuine Scousers by supporting Liverpool. It’s embarrassing.
 
Had a chat earlier today with a mate about how the fear of Islam basically affects every aspect of British culture.

They're the reason security is so ridiculous at football matches, concerts, christmas markets, airports etc.

They've compromised the civil service, central government, the police and councils. Even non-compromised areas WILL buckle to Islamic pressure as they value their head being attached to their necks.

They've essentially forced the Christian elements of our culture to be pushed further inwards, partly thanks to the reddit atheist types and fags decrying Christianity as the worst religion to ever exist because they had to go to Sunday school as a child and it was a bit cold.

They've created entire enclaves and caused white flight as it's better to just move somewhere else than to 'stay and fight'.

Probably going to be depersoned and get struck off the Christmas ca... sorry Season's Greeting Card list but fuck it.

Don't get me started on them. Plus the horrifically soy podcasts and "Twitter personalities" talking about football. Without PLing I knew a few of these when they were normal men on a personal level and avoid anything to do with them now. These people will complain about how Sky ruined football but turned into the most safe edgy faggots they make the Soccer Saturday crowd look like Bernard Manning.

Now pass me the rainbow laces and let me decry the misogyny aimed at women footballers for a couple of likes and retweets.

I wasn't intending to. I just saw an opportunity to shit on the French and took it.

The morrisons I mentioned earlier is still staffed by all whites. Corner shop as I mentioned months backbefore is staffed by whites (and a ukranian, but who's counting?) In fact all the super markets near me (for a given value of "near") are still staffed mostly by english whites, which is nice, but I think it's created a false sense of security for a lot of people hereabouts. The last couple of months, I've seen more muslims wandering between the shelves than any time in my life. Mostly men, in their stupid pyjama robe things. They must have started shipping them in to social housing somewhere nearby. I can run an experiment now, though. Last minute trip out of the country (wife's relatives have invited us up to parts unknown) means I'll get to compare the change after a two week gap. I wouldn't be surprised if it looks like little mogadishu when I get back.

Funny thing I noticed this week: nobody western will say the word Christmas at work. It’s all ‘winter holidays.’
So on a call with my Japanese team (lovely people) and they wished us all a very merry Christmas and everyone recoiled and wished them a happy winter break. Which I don’t think they even have, and you could hear the polite confusion coming down the line (but boss, I wished them a merry Christmas is this not thecorrect form? Did I do wrong!?)
Same pattern repeated all over - nobody will say Christmas. it’s like they’re afraid.
The company was recently plastered with Diwali and Eid wishes by the way.
We used to enjoy these little pre holiday calls with each other - we’d talk about each nations holidays and what the rituals and food and practices were and enjoy learning a bit about each other. All that is now gone. It’s very sad. I used to really enjoy working with people from across the world because they were good people and it was nice to collaborate with them. Now it just seems like everyone’s so afraid of offence, and I cannot help but think this is entirely deliberate.

At my work, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Especially those who look like they don't celebrate it. It's all in the eyes. Everybody knows what I'm really thinking. I am the office bully English man.
Only the senior management say "season's greetings" and stuff. I did once ask one of them if they lop their balls off when they get the promotion and if they're given back when they retire. I can't think why they haven't invited me into their fruity little club. I could play the game and sell out I suppose. But then I would lose part of my soul. I'm comfortable enough not to do that......

It matters not if they offer me a private office,
How charged with punishments are HR's scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

A little bit of good news to brighten your day amongst all the Labour doomposting.

As of today, boat crossings in the UK have hit 41,455 which means that we're projected to see less boat crossings by the end of the year than last years 36,816.

So now there is absolutely ZERO reason to vote for Reform. It feels good to back the good guys.

I feel very similar about work. I could maybe climb the ladder further but I’ve seen what it takes and I just can’t bear becoming that. Have actually talked to my immediate boss an out this stuff, she’s of the same opinion. So we know our place …
They put their soul in a little jar, and become metrics driven bots.

To be fair Liverpool fans act like they have been holocausted whenever they lose a match. In my entire life I have never come across a more entitled whiny fanbase.
