As a vegetarian who used to eat like 2 sausage rolls a day in my meat eating days, this vegan sausage roll is exactly what I’ve been waiting for.

I’m on a team with someone at work who gets wound up by any sort of ‘political correctness gone mad’ story.

Almost disappointed he’s had the week off because I’m certain a vegan sausage roll would’ve had him riled good and proper.

Well there’s Piers Morgan, as covered in this thread.

You’ll see a lot of it in general media, so for example the comments on this article about a restaurant near me going vegetarian [edit: which isn’t your specific question, but it seems really common in any article on vegetarianism].

There are a few replies to the original Greggs announcement post.

I don’t know about ‘angry’ though. Most of the replies I saw were of the tiresome, “What I don’t get is why vegans want to eat something that looks like a meat product anyway?!” like they thought they were Jimmy Carr, or else, yeah, people saying “But it’s not a sausage cry laugh emoji”. Basically the usual crowd who pop up every time someone mentions veganism in order to make it clear they’re not vegan.

that meme or whatever whereby “you’ll know if someone’s a vegan bc they’ll say they’re vegan lol” irks me because (like the whole snowflake irony) it’s the weird bacon bores who are the most loud about it

Yeah I still see that ‘joke’ trotted out by people who should know better otherwise. I tweeted to someone “you’ll know you’re with a vegan because all the non-vegans won’t shut up about it” in reference to this actually.

Nothing more tiresome. It’s all very boring.

And now I’m concerned after that PR reveal that no one ever gave a shit about vegan sausage rolls in Greggs they just created dislike to try to get people paying attention.

I’m not sure I buy that this is a PR thing, unless there were more tweets between them that i didn’t see. It’s pretty in keeping with their usual usual tweets isn’t it? I don’t think piers needs his PR firm to tell him to seek attention.

yeah I’m as cynical as they come but I would assume this is just Piers being a cunt as always, it’s his MO, don’t think his PR agency would get involved with his twitter imo

Yeah I could see it going either way to be honest. Either way, I am sad.

#3876

That said, these guys are another creative/PR agency, so if anyone would have some idea of what might go on in that world you’d think they would? Either that or, like you say, they’ve just gone full tinfoil-hat on this

I have read that both Piers Moron and Greggs use the same PR firm but haven’t been able to find out whether or not that’s true.

I mean, if you argue indiscriminately with everyone on Twitter, you are going to end up arguing with other clients of your PR firm sometimes
