No pigs were harmed in the making of this blasphemy! Several squirrels, ten rats and a thing that honestly could have been a new species helped.

I think Greggs should have just ignored the Twitterstorm. According to one of the twats*, no other religion would put up with it. Frankly, I think that is a plus point for Christianity.

I think there's a difference between knocking one out on Twitter and being moved enough to protest an issue properly.

Is there? Surely social media are precisely a protest and one with much more effect than more 'traditional' ones just now?

How about a picture of the New Atheist ''four horseman'' with one replaced with a sausage roll.
I'm sure that would get complaints from atheists..........that nobody knew who they were............Snork.

With apologies.....

"While shepherds washed their socks by night
tuned into ITV
An Angel called Lord Rieth came down and tuned to BBC
Said he to them in solemn tone
"No time for 'Happy Days"
Thou must atone with heavy heart
and turn to "Songs of Praise"

I hate Away in a Manger. Nauseating sentimental sickly claptrap.

Just saying...
