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.

If immigrants were being properly integrated into our culture like pro-immigration supporters claim will happen naturally, then these women would've learned that the best way to deal with rapists is to out them and report them to the police.

lol it's fucking Britain. You might as well bring back chastity belts because the police won't do shit, they're too busy arresting people for racist tweets.

They're culturally sensitive alright. They're so sensitive, they watched 1400 kids get raped over a decade and did nothing about it out of respect for their Muslims.
 
Slowly day by day the UK is turning into a 3rd world shit hole just because they don't want to offend anybody.
By the way this sounds painful I feel bad for the kids who have to go through that.
 
Literally mandating that you be an ass man. Smh

In all seriousness what the actual fuck is wrong with the UK? You had like two separate Muslim rape clubs, a upswing in FGM and now this. What are Bongs paying their taxes for?
 
Is this why kebobs turn to raping little boys? Because the alternative is the mutilated clit less, vulva less, and breast less women their horrible culture produces?

Well they can go to the press for helping them smooth things over with the public. They might want to put together a board to help guide the investigation, to ensure everyone knows they're on the level.
 
Shit like this among other problems Africa has just makes me wonder how it is the entire continent is even habitable at this point. Aren't tribes still killing each other over there when they're not inbreeding themselves to death? Should we just let them wipe each other out?

Only after they've worked out all the wrinkles.

Because they fuck faster than they die off. It's not unusual for some families to be upwards of 15 kids.
