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.

Cleese has always been a pretty liberal guy which is no surprise to him crapping on Dankula, I suspect he's most likely going to end up less liberal over the next few years with all the stupid shit happening in England.

He's probably going to end up less liberal after just this backlash. Really, though, he's 80 and probably won't give a fuck when he reaches his tropical paradise.
 
Visiting London for the first time this year, I was honestly really surprised how diverse it is; I think it's the most diverse place I've ever been. I realized all the diversity stuff I thought was forced in British media is actually accurate, at least its accurate to London.
And jokes aside I don't even necessarily think it's a bad thing but it must be very surprising to see a city change like that over time. He is just stating a fact. It's not an English city. It's a multicultural city. You can't make the gay argument that they're Englanders at heart either because the melting pot stuff is already America's thing.
 
To be fair English humor would not be suited for a city like London anymore since a joke that might hurt someone feels might turn into an ethnic/class/ideological/ religious riot.

He's always been a hypocrite who's centre right in the UK and Hollywood lefty in the US. For example he's always been anti-EU and and even did anti-Euro campaign ads back in the day.

People misrepresent the immigrant situation in London implying it's all muslims. The big change in the last 10 years is the amount of Romanians, French, Italians, Greeks, etc even in nice areas. So even if London is still 70% "white" it's probably only 40% "English".

What will be interesting is that most of these immigrants will probably have fully integrated children so the issue could go away in a generation.

London would be marginally less of a shithole if Mr. Part & Parcel weren't in charge.

Not because he's a muslim, but because he stopped the searches which were keeping down crime.
 
Why would they want to sacrifice Corbyn? Don't the Jews have a some kind of story about what happens when you don't offer up your best to Yahweh?

Yeah, about a quarter of the citys' population is from non European nations. Of course we must take into account how many are considered actually 'European' when some people from the Middle-East and Africa migrate first to mainland Europe and then on to Britain.

Ya'll are fucked. Have fun.
 
And he's 100% correct. The EU's Kalergi Plan has worked. Ain't the "mayor" of London also a hajji? They've got years of forced "enrichment" coming. The religion of conquest will take no prisoners. Thanks Globalism! Daily Reminder: you never hear cucks in China or India talking about "diversity" being a strength, they have kept their cultures for thousands of years due to racial homogeneity. Notice how THEY never call on the mono-racial Africa to take in more whites, asians, or hispanics. Only White Nations. Makes yah think

You had me until you claimed that China and India are racially homogenous. They're not, that's why there's a brewing shitstorm in both and China got slammed for their concentration camps. Also, you ever heard of Tibet?

Actually, you know what, your entire post is kinda dumb.
 
"Londoners know that our diversity is our greatest strength."
Politicians all over Europe say that and I wonder what it means, they never get around to that part. It is the greatest and most meaningless platitude in European politics.

Really, so how many Chinese or Indian companies or schools have diversity quotas? How many TV shows push interracial couples on the audience in vastly disproportionate rates? How many Chinese cities are run by Jamal? I'll wait.

Chinese don't have any, they openly accept Han dominance. That said, woke Chinese and western sources are writing about it. Indians are getting pretty "woke" to their minorities though, I remember a huge shitstorm over some Indian beauty competition mostly having lighter skin girls. You do have to remember that China and India are so huge that their ethnic troubles are comparable to NA and SA put together.
