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.

So old Magic (now being called "Tragic) Grandpa is still up in Scotland where he's being repeatedly heckled.

First time around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULZVksUYYzU

He was asked which terrorist he was going to welcome to the Commons as Prime Minister.

And today he's been heckled again while at a public meeting:

Corbyn Heckled Again in Scotland

www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

Sir John Curtice (hallowed be his name, keeper of Polling) has basically said Labour's chances of a majority are basically fucking toast as they're polling a hideously distant third in Scotland, continuing to be beaten by the Tories.


BoJo was also heckled in South Yorkshire, where he interrupted his campaign to visit Fishlake, which has been floodhit same as areas of Derbyshire:

Boris Johnson heckled on visit to flood-hit Yorkshire town: 'You took your time'

The prime minister has received a frosty reception on a visit to a flood-hit part of South Yorkshire. 'You took your time, Boris,' one resident said. 'Where'...
www.youtube.com www.youtube.com

However, he also allowed the PM's motorcade to be used to run supplies to the same flood hit town, so the heckles of "You've done nothing." falls a bit flat, but emotions are going to run high in such a situation anyway:

"Part nationalize BT"
BT already has too much fucking power and they deliberately keep all the infrastructure they own a monopoly on shit to save on costs. This'll just make it worse.
Also labour makes no attempt to hide that they just want legally enforced mandatory internet connection at all times so you can be tracked.

“We’ll tax tech giants to pay for this” Fuck off no they won’t they’ll introduce a new license fee for everyone on top of paying for those cunts in the BBC.
 
Today's electorial newsstuff so far today:

The Brexit Party has stood down in another 39 seats, mostly across Scotland to leave The Tories a clearer run as the Unionist Party.

A Caller into the BBC Radio stopped the presenter in their tracks when they began to go on an obvious rant about how the Tories have murdered the NHS to death (as they have done so every year since 1951 according to Labour).

Oh, and a new Battle Bus is coming for The Tories when the urgent campaigning and whistle stop tours begin, it was captioned with "We're going to need a bigger bus." As part of the Unrestricted Meme Warfare that the Tories have been engaging in the past few months.

What's going on, Brits?

This voodoo pagan child abuse should NOT be tolerated. Absolutely disgusting.
Witchcraft and black magic are increasingly factors in the abuse of children, councils have warned, with official data showing child protection cases based on faith or belief are up by a third in the last year in England to almost 2,000.

Lancashire, Bradford and Leeds recorded the highest number of cases in 2018/19 but social workers across the country logged increasing numbers of incidents on the previous year including 71 in Nottingham, 35 in Bristol and 34 in Southwark.

It means councils are now dealing with the equivalent of 38 such cases a week, said the Local Government Association, which is calling for more resources to tackle the problem. Cases based on faith or belief include abuse under the guise of witchcraft, treating spirit possession and through black magic. The data, published by the Department for Education, was received by campaigners as evidence that social workers are getting better at identifying often hidden and culturally complex factors in abuse.

But there was also alarm that the numbers are rising so long after the high profile deaths of Victoria Climbié, eight, who was killed as a result of ritual abuse by her guardian in 2000, Khyra Ishaq, seven, who was starved to death in 2008 in Birmingham by her mother and her partner who had a strong belief in spirits and Kristy Bamu, 15, in 2010 killed by his sister and her partner in an exorcism in their east London flat.

The data also showed the number of children identified by councils through a social work assessment as either having or being at risk of female genital mutilation has reached a record high – with 1,000 such cases in 2018/19, up 6% on the previous year.

“Rising cases of FGM and child abuse linked to faith or belief are extremely worrying and are destroying the lives of children and young people in communities across the country,” said Cllr Anita Lower, the Local Government Association’s lead on FGM. “Social workers have become better at identifying the signs of FGM and belief-related abuse, but the true incidence rate is likely to be higher as these crimes are under-reported.”

Mor Dioum, director of the Victoria Climbié Foundation, a charity campaigning for improvements in child protection policies, said: “It is encouraging to see practitioners identifying harmful practices that can lead to serious injuries or child deaths. However, we need further examination of census data to understand the prevalence of these abuses, and to effectively engage with communities if we are to prevent child abuse linked to faith or belief, including the eventual eradication of FGM.”

The Metropolitan police stressed that only a minority of people who believe in witchcraft or spirit possession go on to abuse children. In a briefing it said belief in evil spirits that can “possess” children is often accompanied by a belief that a possessed child can infect others through sharing food, or simply being in their presence.

Rebelliousness, nightmares or falling ill can be taken as symptoms of “possession” while sometimes children are scapegoated for financial difficulties, divorce, infidelity, illness or death.

Seems Corbyn was once a fan of giving black people money to go home. No wonder he's managed the impressive feat of being endorsed by both the UK Communist Party and the Daily Stormer.

“EXCLUSIVE In 1993, Labour MP Bernie Grant shocked the country by proposing 'that black citizens be offered cash to resettle in Africa or the Caribbean'. According to the Guardian, it was also supported by Jeremy Corbyn! Who was next on their list to be 'resettled', Jews? 1/2”

Is there any minority Corbyn hasn't insulted at some point?

So far he's gone after three of the bigger minority groupings.

Blacks, Hindus and Jews.

All for his mates in Hezbollah and Hamas.
 
No wonder Corbyn was getting into talking about reparations recently and yet the brainwashed masses will just ignore it.
 
Added it to my bookmarks for the next time someone is banging on about Windrush or a hostile environment (no idea what is wrong with telling people who have no legal right to be in the country to go home, but there you go.)
 
So Jo Swinson (Lib Dem Leader) and Nicola Sturgeon (SNP Leader) tried dragging ITV to court over the ITV election leaders debate between BoJo and Tragic Grandpa.

The end result? Lol fuck off, it's ITV's decision.

Giving anyone air time who isn’t Tory, Labour or Farage is a waste of money and no one would watch.

Is that fair?

From what I can see he didn't "go after" Hindus, he only said that maybe Kashmir was better off being independent. And then all the proud patriotic Indians who abandoned their turdstained homeland to live in more civilized countries decided to take it personally.

The "black" thing is murky, I can see how it could have been a poorly thought out attempt at virtue signaling slavery repatriations rather than lets-get-rid-of-the-nogs. If you assume that only a few will actually take the deal and the rest will vote for you in the hopes of getting more breaks then it doesn't seem as exceptional.

The antisemitism is a given though, there's no way to peacefully reconcile disproportionately wealthy Jews with Corbyn's Marxist autism.

The Islamophilia is also a given since Labour has been single handedly responsible for mass Pakistani invasion^W immigration in the UK just to get votes. Pakis are to Labour what beaners are to Democrats.

Jesus Christ, are you a Labour Party MP?

There was only one reason to vote for such a measure back in the day, and that was to fuck the blacks off "home" so the whites could "take back their jobs".

Neglecting the bit they mostly filled holes in the labour market post-war, and continued to do shitty jobs nobody else could be bothered with. It only became a policy when the blacks started to actually move up from the shitty jobs to slightly less shitty ones.

Corbyn is just a pathetic, contrarian hack who's clearly a stroke victim and probably shouldn't be near public office.
