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.

The cost of the contracts awarded to Serco, Clearsprings and Mears between 2019 and 2029, to lease hotels and landlords’ homes, has tripled from £4.5billion to £15.3billion, according to figures from the National Audit Office.

And we're told old people can't have a pension, turn on their heating and the councils can't afford to fix roads.

The bankrupting of Britain and the west is not due to incompetence, it is by design and it is all part of a plan. If you don't realise that by now, then you're as useful as the happy-clapping, 'refugees are welcome here' suicidal middle-class whites.

The Eyptian with the mean tweets is a psy-op to get the 'right wing' on board with twitter censorship. The message isn't "nobody should be vilified for tweets as the internet isn't real", instead the message is "jail mean tweeters".
 
I’m on a train. I was listening to music and I’ve just noticed everyone around me looks really pissed off. Turn off the headphones (they’re not loud enough for anyone else to hear but they have the noise cancellation thing) and realised that a guy a few seats down is playing Islamic prayer out loud. People look annoyed, but are very Britishly not saying anything

True british values there, not sayin owt just judging

Hello from the first snow of the winter, stay warm kiwis. I have noticed, over Xmas, every single bus, train, tram, etc, has Army Recruiting ads; and the whole of New Street is covered in RECRUITING NOW + the amount of army ads with white guys playing fifa/xbox and 'I belong here' I've seen have doubled. These ads usually pop up around gcse results time (and on spotify and other youth apps) but this seems like a huge recruiting push. Anyone else have the same?

They need young white men to die in their globalist wars. Which to be fair the British government has been doing for hundreds of years.

Someone should absolutely say something. Or start playing black metal very loudly too. Or singing hymns. Christmas carols. The national anthem. If he can do it, everyone else can too. Selfish little twat of a man.

(Not being a big racist, it’s be the same if it was a young’un playing something autotuned out loud too)

A war is the best way to rally a nation around a struggling government. It’s been done since time immemorial (did I say that right?). Kier’s probably hoping for the Falklands effect, only if he picks on Russia he’s going to be in for an enormous explodey comeuppance when they nuke us to fuck.

Really hoping the dopes in power realise trying to start a war is a stupid idea. The country is economically weak and socially even weaker. A war has more of a chance of destroying us than it does anything else. And it’s winter, no-one wants be to running about looking for a neighbour’s WWII Anderson shelter in the middle of the night. That shit’s only fun when it’s a larp, not reality.

Speaking of winter, I hope everyone is keeping warm. Lots of layers, hot drinks, move around as much as you can. Check on your old racist neighbour as well as the disabled cat lady down the street. God knows, no-one can afford to put their heating in any more - and that’s before Miliband and his heat pumps freeze us all to death. I’m half tempted to have a coal boiler installed just to spite him.

It is unfortunate, but the republicans have always been well ahead in the musical stakes.

Kinky Boots, Little Armalite, going back further stuff like Rising of the Moon. What do loyalists have, flute bands done up like they've been scrounging a majorettes dustbins, and some oaf twatting a big drum.

I've said something before. It wasn't that but it was similarly anti-social behaviour. It resulted in them not completing their journey.

Difference with the Falklands was it was actually an incursion on British territory and threatening British lives. Trying to convince people to die on behalf of Ukraine in a war we talked them into, is a lot taller order.

Russia will probably make a move into Moldova, where there is a significant amount of NATO hardware stationed, and kick off WWIII.

There’s also a massive retention crisis in the Army as the government seems to keep wanting to charge soldiers for murder for doing their fucking job.

I wake up some days and think “maybe a military junta wouldn’t be that bad?”

They're probably all shitting themselves. Does he have a rucksack on ? Similar thing happened to me on the Tube just after the London bombings in July 05. Tube is inbetween stations and suddenly our little brown friend pulls out a copy of the Quran and starts lowly chanting his little durkha durkha vows and rocking backwards and forwards. I just walked to the other end of the carriage, but you could see in every exchanged glance that all the white faces were thinking the same thing, but were too polite to say anything.

Don't they have set times of day they have to prey ? Seemingly giving no thought to anyone else and if the third party want to hear it or if it inconveniences them ? I suppose that's the beauty of the religion, English people are kuffar and so not considered. I don't think I'm alone now in the fact that my patience is exhausted with their attitude. It's just another example of how their culture is completely incompatible with ours.

Not being racist ? Why is it racist to not like someone whose culture is to disturb your own ?
I hate anyone disturbing my train journey. It's why I have the "fuck off and leave me alone" face on for the duration of my journey, stand as far away as I can from everyone else and read a book quietly.

Or is having a war the contemptible little piggy's way of staying in power ? Way I see it, if he declares war, he can suspend elections ? It seems to be the Labour way at the moment.

I think this is an interesting consideration. Leftists have forgotten that they need to make the case for not being racist. Instead, they view it as some kind of fundamental, self-evident required state of being. A natural law, like gravity or electromagnetism.

I understand, I probably thought that when I was about eleven years old.

But when the non-racism is clearly resulting in the enshittification of society, yes they will need to go to the average person on the street and justify why being non-racist is worth it, or even a good thing on general. And in case it's not clear, I mean a good thing for us, for the people of the UK.

I would like to hear some genuine attempts at giving convincing arguments. On the other hand, I fully believe I can "make the case" for being racist (in Greggs).

Against racism? It can genuinely breed a false sense of superiority over others to the point where it's actually harmful the same way suicidal empathy is harmful.

It's also something that can legitimately sour your mood. You never know why anyone is acting the way they are acting, could be because of their skin color? Of course. Could be because they have had shitty lives or just the worst day ever? Also a possibility, even a combination. It's something you will involuntarily think about.

That said, I wish the argument moved from racism to "do we really need to be around eachother?". I don't hate Africans but some things about our cultures makes them impossible to coexist. They have their own country, can't they stay there? And, conversely, can we just leave them alone? Do we really need to fuck with them any more?

They do, but they also have exemptions that let them skip prayers as long as they get them done before the end of the day. They liberally used these exemptions in their own societies or when it inconveniences then, but rigidly apply the rules when they want to assert superiority and dominion over others.

Muzzies are just browns with a list of prebuild excuses as to why they're subhuman retards doing subhuman retard things. I've worked in Coventry (pray for my soul, it has been frayed), and they drink all the time, eat shit they're not supposed to, skip prayer. They treat it as bullshit until they need to get out of something, at which point it becomes sacrosanct. Which is why I find it so mind numbing that people will nod seriously as if the desert nonces big book of tardisms is something to respect.

Also was in Greggs and the indian (female) cashier picked out a sausage roll, then (she, female) said "Oh wait, I'll get you a hot one." and (SHE) winked at me. So I am now no longer racist (in Greggs).

So the Indian in Greggs winked at you and then gave you his hot sausage. I think your soul might be beyond redemption. You should get down the clinic fast.
