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.

Reform are fucking idiots if they think this is helping them. They're never going to win London over. It's not happening. So you say fuck London, no one cares. Then you advertise how you're going to take from London and give to other places. Stop the bias towards throwing money at London and letting every where else rot. Everyone but Londoners hates London and wants to see it nuked. So play that up and win every where that matters.
Only a third of london is English. Reform have alluded themselves to being a "pro-British" party. When your voter base is a minority, it's going to be demographically impossible to win outside ever declining enclaves. England is still 80% white and the older people that vote are significantly whiter than that. If they were genuine in wanting to fix England, they would focus on strengthening northern/rural votes and once in power force laws that would limit foreigners from voting, and begin segregating non-whites so they are incapable of forming voting blocks. Once White British control our power-structures again then you can start deporting. Nigel is a grifter. He's identified an issue with poltics in that there are no right-wing parties, but he doesn't hold those beliefs. All he cares about is prestige and money. Reform voters don't understand that the party leaders don't share their beliefs. At most the party is a centrist party from the late 90's with some thatcherite nostalgia.

Seriously, I wish the right wasn't full of retards. One thing that i'm jealous about the left is there irrational religious ferocity to their ideology. Every right-winger i've met IRL seems to just be like "Oh, I'm not far-right, i'm just normal voter from the 90s." Or some dumb shit like that. I'm the only person I know that is openly far-right and takes it as a compliment.

Is the Conservative Party going to die off or is this their punished arc?
It seems ever likely Reform is a way for Tories to go under new name to escape the baggage they caused over the last decade. When labour eventually fails I wonder if they'll migrate to the lib-dems or the greens?

We have a conservative party?

The tories are fucked and basically 2016's ukip where everyone worth anything has fucked off to pastures green, probably going to do one last run before major, like, idk, a word for reform that isn't, you know, reform. I'd say rebirth or something but I really do not want to vaginally vore fucking sunak of all people. I doubt they'll die off because the party is one of the oldest political parties in the world but it's possible.
 
Yeah Reform is just becoming the last chance saloon for washed up Tories.

Why wouldn't I just vote Tory instead of for their B team?
Fuck me, I'm actually angry at this one. Look at all these rats jumping off the sinking Tory ship. Stop letting them on board Nigel, it's really not doing you any favours.
 
Just another step in censoring us. All the 3/10s on X cheering this on even though nobody would put them in a bikini. Pathetic
Is there an existing legal definition for 'intimate image'?

Is a bikini 'intimate' apparal?
Which group of people don't like seeing women in bikinis? 🤔

One step closer to shariah. Another excuse to reign in what images can be created. Today it's no revenge porn, tomorrow it's the uk flag.
 
Indians are a fucking plague, I think I actually hate them more than Muslims. At least with Muslims, you know they want to kill you. They are an absolute scourge on this planet, and I only pray that a leader turns their ire onto this trash bug-like race. They are practically inhuman with their mannerisms. Good job, India. I think the West would collectively side with the muzzies to obliterate them.

Never let an Indian occupy a position of Authority in Politics or Business, not only because they've got an ultra-nationalist chip on their shoulder and delight in fucking over Westerners (especially Brits), but because they are duplicitous and incompetently cutthroat. Constantly crying victim and casting themselves as unjustly discriminated or hated upon, they won't even blink before stabbing a friend or close family member in the back for a few pennies or to satisfy their ego and polish their face. The concept of Izzat should have died in the pre-modern period.

Reform shouldn't try to style themselves with Modern British Values (Insert Buzzwords about Tolerance, Forming orderly queues, Having a Cuppa and supporting England in the World Cup/Ashes/Rugby). It was that kind of Blairite watering down of Nationalism and English Ethnic Pride that led to this mess to begin with.

Crack down on SEA Visas. Bin the whole Refugee System. Start actively deporting foreign-born criminals and remove migrant eligibility for Government Assistance / Social Support. Ban dual citizenship. Also! Tax remittances sent abroad are tit-for-tat; India has a Foreign Remittance Tax of around 20% for Money leaving that shithole, the UK should respond in kind.

A huge portion of wages earned by Indian workers never cycles back into the country; instead, it's sent back to India to build nice houses and buy up property for a comfortable retirement, likely whilst they continue to try and milk the British taxpayer for everything they can.

They're right. They're not "far right", they are normal voters from the 90s. Why do you want the left wing to decide where your political party is aligned?

If I was a paranoid conspiracy theorist. I would suggest that the establishment wasn't ready for Reform to get as popular as it did as quickly. So now they're going to offload a bunch of brown unpopular people into UKIP/Reform/Brexit party to make it unpopular and lose the wind in it's sail. It's almost like the Christmas break happened and now 2026 has started proper it's time to implement the plans they came up with to sink Reform at the Christmas parties. Reform voters hated the covid stuff, so Reform gets one of the men responsible for it. And he's a foreigner to boot. Double whammy. Wham bam, thank you ma'am (pronouns she/they).
 
My wishlist - which, if promised, will secure my vote:

  • Remove the UK from the ECHR/repeal the Human Rights Act
  • Deport any foreign born individual convicted of a crime, regardless of citizenship (if they have British citizenship, revoke it)
  • Deport any foreign born individual in receipt of a means tested benefit
    • And their family members, including children born in the UK. They will be eligible for citizenship in their parent's country.
  • Take all steps to deter and immediately remove anybody who arrives in the UK through an illegitimate route.
  • Heavily restrict immigration to absolutely essential
  • Restrict disbility benefits to those with diagnosed, physical health conditions that affect mobility
  • Repeal the GRA
  • Remove "Gender Reassignment" from the list of protected characteristics in the Equality Act

Stretch goals:
  • Deport the family members of foreign born criminals if they are themselves foreign born, or dependent children of the criminal.
  • Deport foreign born individuals, and their dependents, should they not be in a role listed in the new essential role list
  • Proscribe Islam
Nobody asked for this list, sorry for wasting your time. Thank you for reading.
 
Restrict disbility benefits to those with diagnosed, physical health conditions that affect mobility
There's plenty of spastics capable of moving around fine but their brains are so fucked they can't function. Squadies who got tricked into going to iraq and afganistan and now can't handle people clapping and shit. They don't deserve to be kicked off of disability. I saw a cunt whining she had a blue badge for anxiety the other day. What the fuck? I'm too anxious to walk across a car park so I need a blue badge is the dumbest thing I've heard.

"foreign born" isn't enough. The ones born here need to go back too.
 
They're right. They're not "far right", they are normal voters from the 90s. Why do you want the left wing to decide where your political party is aligned?
I'm saying they shouldn't be moderates. They should move further right, rather than sit at this outdated center that will achieve nothing in the long term. Everything I've read of people who I believe occupy this position (Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage) don't have any ideological convictions to suppress their enemy or remove their systematic control over institutions. They seem to think taking a free-market liberal approach will magically resolve all these issues, when a much harsher hard-right approach is needed.

My wishlist - which, if promised, will secure my vote:

  • Remove the UK from the ECHR/repeal the Human Rights Act

I wish we'd get the death penalty back. Any foreigner who commits a heinous crime should be executed instead of waiting out a multi-decade sentence and letting them retire back home. It'll save some money too. I'd also ban first and second generation foreigners from voting. This would be a good temporary stop to deal with Blair/Boris migration waves and give a few extra decades to deport them all before their decedents can vote. Removing benefits from migrants is also must. I'd solve paki's having ten kids to scrounge off of the taxpayer.

I take your point about squaddies - but id say they should be properly taken care of separate to the general population.

As for regular spastics, their families should be taking care of them.
 
It's a warm welcome, but also shows that the 'waah, Reform UK are racist!' line no longer works.
People still call the Tories racist and they have a nog as leader and a usually have cabinets and shadow cabinets as brown as varnished oak.

We're all sick of this this.

We don't want to be a service class to our new fucking Muslim colonial masters.

People don't want Tory lite. If you carry on like this people won't bother to vote again and we'll just have another Labour landslide because only the retards who vote will vote Labour because the only personality trait is hating Tories and Islamists (and the 481 people who live at their house) vote.

Fuck off and stop trying to appeal to people who hate you. It's killed the Tories. It's killed the country. It makes me want to kill you (in Minecraft..)

Grow some balls or just admit you are fucking establishment plants.

TL;DR You should all fucking kill yourselves in Reform.
 
Just heard about the proposed law and honestly I just can't stop laughing. It's EVERYTHING wrong with fucking Labour and tbh retarded for so many reasons I'm not sure I'll be able to get through them in this post.

  • To start off with, they've effectively made any digital editing software and access to AI illegal by accident, which gets even worse as by Microsoft Windows having paint bundled in, and physically not able to be removed without completely breaking the fucking thing, they've indirectly made owning Microsoft Windows illegal for a UK Citizen. Linuxfags finally won, and that might genuinely be worse a Labour government.
  • The consequences of this are so wide reaching I can't even begin to explain it, every single government computer runs Microsoft Windows and Microsoft products so every civil servant is now a criminal (as they fucking should be), they've effectively killed AI in the UK without an AI law, they've backed US tech companies into a position where they might be forced to withdraw from the UK immediately to avoid getting involved in this.
  • To top it off, making like 95% of the population criminals at a time when the entire Justice system is completely fucked (with your average court date for a crime that happened today delayed until 2029) is completely retarded.
  • To make matters worse DEEP FAKES WERE ILLEGAL ANYWAY YOU FUCKING NIGGERS. Producing child pornography is already illegal. Creating crude degrading photos of someone being sliced to pieces is already illegal. They've brought in a new law that doesn't actually add anything other than implicate fucking EVERYONE as a criminal by accident.
I know, I know. They're not going to REALLY prosecute you for any of this, and honestly they're not even going to do anything if you PRODUCE sick shit because police, courts, CPS, prisons are all jammed up anyway... but it's just hilarious how Elon Musk being a retard on twitter has resulted in the most hamfistedly broken law you can imagine. You could arrest literally any one of your political opponents on 'child pornography production' charges now.
 
Welshy, you really need to stop ball washing Reform at this point. "Reform are racist" is not a negative in the current climate. And acting like this is in any way positive makes you a cuck. The general public WANT a racist party. They want a party they can rally around and say yes, we hate immigrants, yes they're rapists, no I don't care if they drowned in the sea. Many of them would be be happy if they did all drowned.

It's a warm welcome for a foreigner who's manipulated and held hostage the general public under the tories. Who was responsible for the covid response and other stuff we do not fucking like.

There's none. At this point Reform is just the tories under a new name. While I was away I did a lot of traveling and spoke to many people in Reform areas. They've seen nothing to stop the decline. They're in an even worse state than they were before Reform got in. Reform were supposed to cut down on waste spending and redirect it into improving the country. The gay pride events are still fully funded and supported by the councils. While pot holes are so bad people are having their tires destroyed by them. Reform have done nothing to help the situation and now they want to be a big tent of Muslim cock. Lord Ali will kick Starmer to the curb and replace him with Nigel at this point. And Nigel will tell you what a win it is while camel cum drips from his ass and shit covers his head.
The general public want a party who can govern properly, the only sensible option available is Reform UK and much as I would like to see Nigel say the things you want him to, you forget that until he is PM he does not control the narrative.

Yes, 99.9% of people want migrants to fuck off, but that small 0.1% want to cling on to power and will tell you it's raining whilst they piss on you.

Okay, Zahawi was an appointment from left-field, but hopefully Nigel has got it right and he'll prove to be useful - we need people with experience of Government as it's no good Nigel winning the next General Election only to have a Cabinet which cannot function and doesn't know what to do.

Let's not forget that Lee Anderson has been a Labour member, a Tory member and is now a Reform UK MP because he realised the way that things were moving in politics - that the Tories would become unelectable and that Labour would turn against their core vote base.

I certainly don't share your pessimism, and if you don't wish to back Nigel and Reform UK then that's your choice but in the absence of Britain First or similar being electable then the only other choice you'll have is a local Independent candidate.

We have to realise that the real world is sadly not as smart as the people here - there are people out there who think that Richard Osman's House Of Games is highbrow entertainment, when in reality it's half an hour of the mentally retarded making total arses of themselves.

When Reform UK control not just the country, but have a firm say on how things are done, then there will be no excuses and Nigel will either have to deliver on his promises or he too is replaceable.

I'll certainly be Nigel's fiercest critic if he lets us down, you can bookmark this.

Reform UK might control certain councils, but don't forget that Unions etc. are doing their utmost to scupper things, though the TUC, USDAW and even ASLEF and the RMT are now having talks with Reform UK and asking what plans they have for them - the agreement which is being worked on is that there will be no strikes provided that Reform UK agree to pay them above the rate of inflation every year, which would be workable.

No it doesn't. Why do you think this is the case? They call the cons racist and they literally have a gap toothed black witch at the helm.
Exactly, the trope doesn't work with the Tories but the half-wits still think that people are paying them attention.

The BBC could say that the sky is green and some of its audience would agree with it.

'I believe what the TV tells me.'
 
My original fear with Reform was that they were going to be an authoritarian party disguised as a pro-British party and once elected push to become a pro muzzy party. I don't care how based the Muslim chairman is, he is the second most powerful person in the party and when Farage inevitably ragequits you'll have everything in place for a party to use the proposed law changes against non-muslims.
 
The consequences of this are so wide reaching I can't even begin to explain it, every single government computer runs Microsoft Windows and Microsoft products so every civil servant is now a criminal (as they fucking should be), they've effectively killed AI in the UK without an AI law, they've backed US tech companies into a position where they might be forced to withdraw from the UK immediately to avoid getting involved in this.
Six months ago Starmer declared the UK was going to be a leader in AI technology. Made a bunch of deals with Trump specifically about this matter and has in 24 hours completely shit the bed. Trump was already unhappy with him, but this is even worse. If Trump doesn't call him a twat on Twitter I'd be shocked. They just torpedoed their entire technology push they were claiming was going to help the economy.
The general public want a party who can govern properly, the only sensible option available is Reform UK
They're no longer a sensible option. They've taking on foreign people to fill key roles constantly now.

This isn't about optimism or not. It's a realistic situation. It's like saying your girlfriend just shagged your mate, but it's only because it's more sensible to stick with her than decide who gets the cat.

Reform have suicided their party identity and will continue to do so until they kick these sand niggers out.

Italy have had Lega Nord and Fratelli d’Italia both win prime ministers who had people screech “racist” at them and replying “thanks for noticing.”

Lega are pretty much dead now as they bent over for the neo-liberal establishment and cucking hard. FI are going the same way but slower.

Reform are choking on the throbbing cock of neo-liberalism before its even unzipped its trousers and, unless something massive changes, I hope it chokes on its African laced semen.

Honestly, I wonder if it would be prudent for Labour to call an election now that all the opposition parties are completely fucked.
Reform and YP are going up in flames and nobody ever votes Green or Lib Dem.
