Piers Morgan just got owned by a vegan sausage roll and people love it

John Plunkett. Updated January 3rd, 2019

Like a few other people out there, Piers Morgan’s not happy that high street bakers Greggs has introduced a vegan sausage roll to their (mostly) meaty range of hot snacks.

And naturally he took to Twitter to share his displeasure.

Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns. https://t.co/QEiqG9qx2G

And thank goodness he did, because Greggs had the perfect response.

Oh hello Piers, we’ve been expecting you

— Greggs (@GreggsOfficial) January 2, 2019

Of course they were. And this is how much people loved it.

Greggs absolutely on top of its social media game, @piersmorgan battling to avoid relegation https://t.co/Y2KMt8NqZ8

Morgan wasn’t giving up but, like a Greggs sausage roll (of either variety) it all felt a bit flakey.

There was this …

Isn’t it time you changed your name to something more gender-fluid & less toxically masculine? https://t.co/1DYyKDa3lj

… and then there was this.

Just ordered a large sausage roll on room service.
A meat one.
Real meat.
The vegan resistance starts here. 👊

— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 2, 2019

And you’ll be glad to know people had fun with that too.

What hotel has sausage rolls on room service menu? https://t.co/0iGiLuKszp

Piers has discovered Grindr. https://t.co/8wXm9gSmxZ

Morgan was still going at it this morning.

Woke up to howling abuse from vegans over this Greggs sausage roll scandal.
I get it, you're all hangry.
I would be too if I only ate plants & gruel.

But last word really does have to go to this guy.

Really want Greggs to announce a halal steak bake now. Crank the fume levels right up to 11
