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 mean, he lives in Texas so you can try enforcing those duties, but you better bring a ton of butter knives if you do. Maybe he'll laugh himself to death at what the modern Englishman has become instead of giving you the 1776 treatment so hard even King Charles feels it.

I mean, the coolies managed it so it wouldn't require much trying, but I'd better bring a ton of curry if I do. Maybe he'll laugh himself to death at what the modern Texoid has become instead of giving anyone the 1836 treatment so hard even the Yellow Rose of Texas feels it.

Remember MiW actively works for Reform. He is their representative and they thought the farms would be a good place to try and gain new supporters :D :D :D :D
I'd love to see the receipts of the so-called threats

Is a Britbong really trying to claim "Overrun by Jeets" as a win against the USA?

Fuck me, I thought you guys were better at banter than this.

Randy Andy spotted leaving the police station.

The govt has announced it will provide more funding for religious sites' security. How much funding? £40m for mosques and Muslim schools, £28.4m for Jewish faith sites and schools and £5m for ''other faith sites''.

Christ, what a picture. I actually believe him now that he wasn't raping 14 year old girls. Murdering them and slurping the delicious, life-giving adrenochrome from their still-warm pineal glands however...

The real question is am I a Glowie or am I actually a True Fan?

On an unrelated note, I think the right fracturing has shown why we need to take up arms against the government to protect the white race.

What does everyone else think about that?
 
If anyone did threaten MiW then they need to have boiling milk poured down their nostrils but saying that like with everything on this website I take any claim like that with skepticism. Now I'm going to be a bleeding heart for a moment and say I respect MiW dedication to reform even if its out of naivety and I hope things go well for him in the future.

That being said trusting Farage at this point might be a sign of retardation.

Going by his overall personality type... I'm not saying he's lying or even making shit up, but what passes for "threats" in his mind likely doesn't translate quite the same at all to the rest of us. He's having a meltie alright but I doubt anything anyone said to him on here actually has much to do with it.
 
I don't care how retarded MiW is can someone please tell him to use the prefixes when he posts articles. It really triggers my organisational autism :(

What is the best (affordable) tea I can buy at a Texas super market without having to look really really hard?

You can buy Yorkshire & Yorkshire Gold on Amazon.
If you want a physical shop, Walmart & Costco both have other Taylor's teas which are perfectly drinkable.
