Laid down its pastry covered meat product

In very poor taste!
That's Greggs for you.

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.

And Mary and Joseph arrived at the Inn but the innkeeper said there was no room in the inn but they could stay in a branch of Greggs round the back.

Next year, Greggs celebrates Ramadan with a pastiche of Bullseye - 'This is what you could have eaten'

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.
