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.

Purely a symptom of letting a disruptive newfag and his obvious alt accounts dominate the discussion in the thread.

So if we can't realistically increase the supply of something.....what can be done ? Possibly look at demand side issues. Now what would be one way of possibly dampening the demand for housing ? ( Countdown clock playing in the background ).........Could it be to get rid of the massive influx of non-indigenous population ? If the goverment deported say 5 million worthless subhuman scum that contribute nothing to the economy, that might possibly have an impact ? More than that, it would most likely impact at the lower end of the market where most first time buyers are......
Didn't see you'd responded, sorry Eddy.

I think kicking them out is a good start, yes; but even then that's not probably not enough and it would absolutely fuck over a lot of people who use property as their sole or side income. Many corporate landlords for sure take in the filth of the 3rd world. But those 3rdies are also put up by non corporate Landlords taking government cash to essentially pay their mortgage.

Somewhere along the line here, people that did the 'right' thing and put up a lot of money they worked hard for, are going to get steamrolled if we managed to kick out all the slime. If we stopped immigration, and reversed it, our economy is going to suffer. It's probably going to suffer a lot. But we need to do it, we need to invest in our own fucking again; and let our own people invest in it!

It isn't as much fun, and when people go too far then there's no point in talking with them further.

Whichever way people decide to vote, that's their call, and I for one will never say 'you have to do as I say' because I'm nobody in the great scheme of things.

Anyway, we think we've got problems - spare a thought for this guy from Swansea who is living with a very painful condition; 'Like a screwdriver in my face'



@Chunky Salsa Fair do's and I'll get you a Warwick Davis rugby ball so that you can drop kick his face anytime you like.

Absolutely, we (general we) need to accept that for things get better things need to suck for a bit as changes are made and society course corrects. People are going to have to accept that maybe we can't do same day deliveries from amazon or ubereats deliveries anymore as we either kick out cheap labour and force companies to pay Brits (or scrap them altogether tbh). If we banned halal and kosher slaughter, there could be issues with meat supply and restaurants being stocked across the country until the system 'catches up'. Anyone renting to 3rd worlders would just have to wait (and it can't be that long imho) for a British person to rent. If we started building nuclear reactions tomorrow, we wouldn't see price drops until they are built and operational. Cutting benefits to non-native Brits today would cause chaos until they were all arrested for theft or went home to Bonglastan, voluntarily or not.
 
Also, ladies, is it true the NHS smear tests no longer test for all cancers/precancers/dodgy cells and only check for HPV? I've heard a lot about the test being 'narrowed down' to only HPV but can't find anything but Mumsnet posts.
Yes. They now test for the high risk strains of HPV and if they find them then they check for abnormal cells. If negative for hpv you get called back in five years. If positive for hpv you go down a different route. I haven’t checked the pilot study this change was based on, but I remain healthily skeptical because while it’s nice to be told you’re low risk, and not have to have a cold speculum jammed up you by a mae gyno regularly, it does scream ‘cheaper!’ to me and that rarely works out. I guess we will see.
@Made In Wales trigeminal neuralgia is real and supposed to be incredibly painful. A not-inconsequential number of people have killed themselves over it. It’s supposed to be agonising
 
(and it can't be that long imho
The issue isn't the wait, it's that they will not be able to charge the rent they currently do. If the demand craters, then it becomes a game of 'who breaks first' in regards to rental prices. It won't be the people already renting. Which is going to blow up a lot of peoples ability to even pay their mortgage.

I am going to make one of Warwick Davis and you, you will hold hands.. His tiny deformed fingers clutching yours..

As for the thread vibe changing. A lot of us were hopeful for reform and thought we might see some kind of change but it fell through. It was a downer and the optimism we had was lost. The shift comes from MiWs turning into a thread lolcow and autism wanting to milk him or being annoyed by him. The tone of the thread changes when the perception of MiW changes. Instead of "here's a passionate nationalist posting the news" we get "Here's a Reform cultist posting propaganda". And there's nothing you can say to break the conditioning and he'll just block you if you disagree with him. It makes the whole thread feel seedy and gross the same way watching the BBC feels gross because you can see the lies being told and you can't stop the person lying and make them face reality.

I've left it alone at this point. I will find dumb news stories and post them to try and have a chat. But I don't enjoy feeling like I'm being forced fed reform propaganda and I don't like people being smarmy two faced twats when they block you because you're not on board with their cult.

Well, pretty standard financial advice is always diversify, have more than one stream of income, ideally not correlated.
I'm not sure how much sympathy I have with people who have effectively sold their souls ( or at least the soul of the country for future generations ) by either directly housing the invading army or taking the government's 30 pieces of silver to betray their fellow Britons.
So what you're saying is that if people get steamrollered, they made a bad investment. Happens all the time, perhaps they shouldn't have put all their eggs in one basket ?
I don't see how the economy ( net ) is going to suffer if we remove a section of society that is a drain on our welfare ( invaders NOT our old folk ) ? So rentals won't be as high ? Younger generation wins, older generation loses - that's life. I'd have thought that dynamic needs altering anyway. Skewing it back in favour of young British home owners / renters would be a good thing. Hell in the privacy of their new homes, they might even be able to help the domestic birth rate out a bit and then the need to import unskilled foreign people would be even less.
 
The vibe shift partly is because 3 months ago, Reform were absolutely cleaning up with polling figures at their highest and since then they've imported more brown Tories. It's created an uncomfortable situation where while most of us were generally pro-Reform months ago, there's a definitive split between those who begrugingly might vote Reform and those who now view them as traitors to the UK.

But honestly I just blame the shitty weather, I feel like most of us are still feeling the effects of Christmas which was ONE MONTH AGO. Once the sun hits our faces again we'll have a few cheeky Madris in the sun and everything will be better. No happenings tend to happen during Winter because it's too cold for things to kick off, but we'll be back to the optimism of waiting for the next major protests vs counter protests.

As a side note, notice how Led By Donkeys are sitting on their hands? Did their USAID money dry up or something? Or are they just leftist mongs who see the most unpopular prime minister of all time as a "good guy, it's just an optics issue"? Starmer literally appointed a friend of Epstein to the cabinet and he's getting zero flak for it.

IIRC, they were being sued by the Labour Party (of all people) for putting an 'offensive' billboard across the road from one of their offices. The case was due in court last month.

I wouldn't be surprised if they come back in a new form soon (if not sent to the cells), probably a grift/scam to get money from vulnerable people who don't want the home nations teams to go to the World Cup in the USA this summer.
 
While i tentatively support medical cannabis, we already have so many fucking scroungers on benefits and pills "muh medicinal weeeeeed" is the last fucking thing this country needs. We can't seem to gatekeep anything effectively, you can get a blue badge for anxiety for christs sake.
I disagree purely on the fact that the police can't police illegal cannabis so we should hand it to the strongest enforcement arm in the UK; the taxman.
Legalise weed and let the taxman chase down those who smoke but don't pay.

Would it? Housing, food, policing, NHS; funds needed to cover the jeets in OT and reduction in funds required to care for cousin-bred offspring would surely offset a lot it?
Fewer people means fewer bin collections, fewer patrols, fewer cars on the road.

The companies that would suffer are those who rely on 3rdy workers like UberJeets, JustJeet and amazon.
This thread's tone has changed a little more recently
I apologise sincerely for my paki-sperging in changing the tone of the thread and I will knock it on the head.
In other news, have you seen this about these fucking stinking pakis?
Just kidding.

A sad day today, Britain no longer has a Gaylord in the house of lords. mandelson has quit and in a statement said:

"It is with a heavy heart that I am resigning from the House of Lords, but it won't stop me from being a boy-hungry mincing pedophile. Peace out, I'm off to join Glitter in Thailand for some noncery"

What did he mean by this?

Hospitality, retail, agency workers, nursing, etc would suffer a short term 'employment crisis' as new British staff are hired and trained/pass probation. If you sacked off every non Brit in the country at once the holy GDP would stumble for a while.
I don't know how you'd come to a compromise that was both speedy and didn't drag its feet when it came to implementing change; perhaps doing one county at a time starting from the north and going south, like a rolling tide of Total Immigrant Death across the nation.

Why did the House of Lords legalise gay marriage but didn't ban badger hunting? Because there are no badgers in the House of Lords!

No you didn't, you left because you had an autistic meltdown over Farage importing more browns to his party. Went on a blocking spree and became a LoLCow.

Now, I'm seeing a whole load of shit going down about student loans, non-payment and cancellation...like several orders of magnitude higher than prior year. and interest being higher than repayments.
How do you think that will end up?
 
It's clear that the public hit their breaking point regarding immigration after Kier's response to the Southport riots. Unironically had the courts not cracked down so hard on people then the pressure valve on immigration might have been released and they could have gotten away with a billion more Somalian carers who can't count to ten.

Instead it basically militarised the public overnight, saw Reform go from a fringe party to the clear choice for the next election and saw Labour completely crash and burn in terms of popularity and legitimacy.

The public have overwhelmingly voted for the party that pledges to cut immigration since fucking 2003, the public voted for Brexit to stop the influx of Poles that were starting to cause huge labour issues and impact the job market (a significant amount of entry level factory positions were advertised in Polish) the public assumed the Tories would be tough on immigration and instead imported the fucking Boriswave. The reporting of Axel R was the last straw as it was obvious to everyone that everyone was trying to cover it up (and they kinda did, if you read the reports of how bad the 'stabbings' were, you'd discover that two of the children were nearly decapitated).

Immigration affects pretty much everything in the UK. House prices go up because more people are competing for them, NHS waiting times go up because there are more people to be seen to, taxes go up more because more money has to go to services like SEND places for the inbred mongs that Pakis produce, jobs are harder to get and wages are compressed because of more people competing for them, including entry level jobs which are essentially locking young graduates out of STARTING their fucking careers, crime goes up by proxy because less police are dealing witth more people, courts are jammed for similar reasons. Then there's secondary effects like how importing two nationalities that fucking HATE one another will inevitably result in MORE ethnic tension and the general effects on how the entire school system is pozzed all the way down, with the schools that were practically open doors throughout the 90s now locked down like fucking Fort Knox.

Immigration is the number one fucking priority in the UK right now and if Reform don't fix it then the next party are going to make Reform look like the Greens.
 
@Chunky Salsa sort of has a point with the NHS - if we did get rid of every non-White member of staff overnight, then yes it would suffer in the short-term at the very least because:

a) We are not recruiting enough Doctors and Nursers etc. from our own countries.

b) University students are NOT being trained on how to safely give injections/take blood etc. this is being done by Auxiliaries and not those who should be trained to do it.

c) There are still way too many Admins, especially in Wales. England has cut down on the amount of Admins but there's still way too many employed - Hospitals are not offices.

d) The Unions are continually demanding more money for young Doctors, yet the amount of vacancies for them is minute. Getting rid of non-Whites would mean more positions available but also the Unions would demand 20% or more every year as well as pay going up above the rate of inflation. There simply isn't the money available unless taxes go up or the difference can be found from elsewhere.

A simple answer to this:

* A three year moratorium on importing overseas staff.

* Bring back the Medical Colleges and bring through Doctors and Nurses from this country first - have a pool of staff that is ready and willing to work wherever and can and will do things from blood tests to cleaning beds (I always remember the story which former MP Ann Clwyd told in Parliament about a Nurse who said 'so I don't clean up poo' after her husband had soiled himself in a hospital bed).

* Axe the Health Boards and Admins - Admin can be done externally.

* Strike a deal with UNISON that new staff will be paid a fair and respectable wage. If asked to do overtime, make it double time and do not expect staff to work more than so many hours per week as they need to rest as well - always have cover available.

Things will be expensive for a while, but the streets will be clean, safe and white. The countryside won't be full of litter, shit and non-whites.
The high street will heal and begone will the turkish barbers, vape shops and american sweet shops be.

Any lefties or dissenters who were against it should be imprisoned until it's done. Start it 1st January 2028 and by the time all the dust has settled, you've secured a generation of voters for your party.

I agree with this.

The Tories have announced that they will be standing in Gorton & Denton - meet their candidate:

FYI, she is a a member of the LGB Alliance which is basically a "get the trannies out of our movement" organisation. It was started by homosexual people who were sick to death of Stonewall and generally being used as a stalking horse for things like puberty blockers and other crap. The LGBA were one of the groups that dragged Scottish ministers to court and forced the ruling that "sex" in law referred to biological sex not the made up fairydust kind. They're basically old school actual lesbians as opposed to the university "lesbian" types.

I don't know much else about her but she gets points for that.
