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.

Is red Leicester the replacement for red indians? Certainly more indian than Eskimos or whatever.
 
Cheddar ain't only a settlement in Somerset.

Nobody even pretends to give a toss about Ulster, it's anglo Detroit with nicer scenery and paler negroes is all.
If you think we'll need TOR to connect you seriously overestimate the efficacy of our overlords, just stick it on the teletext and we'll be fine.

It must be the potato-nigger in me, 'cause I go boiled lobster red and then immediately more flaky and peely than a pleather sofa. Though my best friend in primary school, her dad started courting her mum after she'd holidayed in Turkey 'cause he thought she was black.

Seeing quite a few comments on normiebook under articles about protests, encouraging to do things "The Belfast way" as it gets results.
Think the cat's out of the bag on this one, there will be working class lads in England thinking "fuck it, I'll start a paramilitary cell with the boys" in the same way that someone finally gets around to booking a lads holiday. Maybe nothing competent or efficient yet, but an escalation. There were a few protests today with quite a lot of them in all black from the get go.

Banning black clothing, meeting in groups of more than two, and being outside after 7pm very soon.
 
Antifa and BAMN and the rest of the lefty domestic terror cells in the west thought black bloc was oh so cool. They tried to normalize it in the media, in the zeitgeist. "Protest is the language of the unheard! Trump is a fascist and would punish them for their free speech of destroying property and firebombing stuff! They have to do that so they can unarrest their coworkers and prevent targeted harassment by chuds!"

Something tells me the second the right starts using the tactic it will become one of the most evil things ever done by man ™️ , and they'll become very interested in denormalizing the wearing of all black and masks really, really quickly.
 
The way the BBC is glazing Scotland at this World Cup you'd think the whole island was Scotland, only been out of the WC for 28 years with the way they are acting it's like if Brazil wasn't at a WC for 28 years. Wales hadn't qualified for a WC for 64 years and I don't recall us getting a bank holiday, even BBC Wales didn't give much of a shit. Am i just miserable?
 
Not sure if this has been provided in the thread. Someone please save me from my retardation and archive it if not.

This speech was made as woke satire in 2001. Where they pretended a nativist UK terrorist group existed out of irrational racist extremism. What would become the woke progressives as we know them produced it. It sounds better everyday.
