UK British News Megathread - aka CWCissey's news thread

https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

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.

Don't know what anyone thinks of the Homeland Party but I like their rhetoric and their social media followers seem to be pretty on message. I looked into them a bit and the leader encourages his supporters to join the Reform Party to get themselves into as many positions in the party as possible to move it to the hard right.

Homeland party as a massive issue with nazis(Not as in the HNH kind of """nazis""", as in honest to god flag carrying ones). No party in the modern age is gonna be successful without disavowing such people. They should focus more on being British nationalists and not larping as German nationalists.

Not sure if it's already been said, but we all know that the reason these grooming gangs run free is because the girls they raped were just poor people, not Britons of actual value/old money. That's what the gross bitch going "oh, are you really trotting out that old story" was really saying. "Yeah, but they only groom poor girls, not actual people". The ancient disease of caste can never be cured except by guillotine.

This kind of mental plague among the rich is the cause of most problems, they don't see themselves a part of the same ethnicity as poor people, they think themselves as their own superior race separate to others.

2. It IS murder. My other half is not dependent on my body to survive. A premie in an incubator is. Is it legal to go kill one? No. Is it now legal to kill that same stage baby in utero? Yes. That is not right.

No offence, but you're arguing with someone that thinks it's okay to kill babies. I don't think you're changing her mind. She may have had an abortion in the past - and then you're really not changing her mind, because then she'd have to accept she killed her own baby - or she may know people that have had them, and thus she doesn't want to accept she's friends with people that murder babies. There's no real abortion debate and never will be, because you're trying to convince the other side that they are murderers; and no one will accept that.

No, they raped middle class girls as well, there's a woman that does campaigning against it, and she was the daughter of an investment banker; and a PR executive; she goes a lot into it. It was across the spectrum, across the board. The classism doesn't help, but the reality of it is that this was and still is everywhere. The government doesn't have just a class issue, it just hates white people, and it's happy if they get raped.

I'd be curious if a woman with dubious moral values decided to public get pregnant with the notion of aborting the foetus at 38 weeks, publicly documenting the process.

Hypothetically it wouldn't be illegal but every week that passes sees extra pressure on the government to change the laws asap.

Don't give Nottingham's least finest any ideas....

middle class

Still considered roaches by blue-bloods. You've never heard someone refer to herself as "middle class" as a self-own? Or feel ashamed for having attended Leeds rather than Oxbridge? I can guarantee the government would care if a white heiress of true gentry were raped. It would be a tragic assault on her purity (net worth).

I grew up on a council estate, so no.

 

[Mound Dweller]

I respectfully disagree.

You're making the mistake of trying to logically explain to someone who already has a belief in something; you cannot convince away faith, I like to pick people's brains because it expands my own understanding, but tying to change them? It's a nice idea but it is folly.

Also the BBC FEMBOYS, don't forget the RACE PLAYING BNWO CROSSDRESSING FAGGOT who was in a position of authority, really living up the Rohm legacy those guys.

Well let me assure you that every single person in this thread is absolute scum and little more than cannon fodder to the higher-ranking vassals of the likes of Adrian Swires. Your daughters are absolutely no better than literal whores and if you think about it were bred for that purpose, so, thank you I'll be taking her, my good man. She'll be back when I meet a woman worth marrying.

This is an idiotic, last century POV. The revolting creatures controlling our government are not from the traditional aristocracy and haven't been for 70-odd years now.

They're Fabian socialists whose intention is the reduction and humiliation of White people until we're part of a homogeneous blob of amerimutt-esque vaguely brown, 90IQ underlings under their "benevolent" rule.

These are the "people" that brought us the inheritance taxes that destroyed so many resource rich but cash poor estates and the derelictions of so many of our great country houses, they *loathe* the gentry.

Can't we just put Diamond from Gladiators in charge of everything? She seems nice.

The mentality hasn't changed. They hate anyone that they consider beneath them, whether because of class or ideal. It's the same "placed there by God" mentality. And they absolutely fucking loathe the poors they claim to champion. They're making plans for Nigel, the same way American liberals become enraged when a black person goes "off the plantation". You also don't think their self-hatred stems from envy? They'd bend over backwards if an old-fashioned aristocrat ever invited them into the inner drinking circle.

You dumb fucking nigger, it's not about class war, that shit was left behind decades ago.

The Guardian reading, oat-milk sipping class don't give a flying fuck about which Oxbridge college you studied PPE at, if you know which cutlery to use, or who designed your gardens. And they fucking love certain poors, they just have to be malleable low iq swarthy imports.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a geography teachers sensible shoe stamping on a human face— forever.

I don't care what they say they care about, it's the same duplicitous snakes it's always been. Fine, they got a nice new mask, whatever. They still think you're dog food, they just know to pretend that it's for a different reason now. Don't make me post the David Mitchell and Rob Brydon crying video again.

Both of you have points - there is a class war but it's being fermented by the Grifting Classes (Soy Latte Twats) who are too proud and pompous to ever get a real job other than that of being a permanently online quasi 'voice of reason' simultaneously shitting on the working class and provider (upper) class at the same time. They want to keep the working class down and pull the rich down, calling it 'wealth redistribution' whilst at the same time petitioning for a Trans Vagina Clinic to be built using money from the Sir Captain Tom Moore charidee.

Of course none of the Grifting classes like anybody who isn't like them, but they also dislike each other - do you really think that Nick Lowles really gives a fuck about the coke fiend James O'Brien or the four gimps from Lead By Donkeys? They all pretend to like each other, but when one of them gets more attention and money than the other...

I would take slight issue with @Geoff Capes Vapes Apes says about these people loving the IQ delinquent shit-reeking niggers - no, they absolutely do not love them, it's just pretend and pretense.

I can prove this through this question:

Which of these people is the most racist?

A) A white skinhead who calls a Black man a 'fucking nigger shit coon bastard wog negro jiggaboo'

or

B) A white liberal who believes that the same Black man is beneath her, but in order to look good and to be considered as 'acceptable' and 'accepted' she must pretend to be nice to the Black man, pointing this out in her Social Media feed i.e. 'I was a good person today, I helped a Black man across the road because I am not a racist and want to be seen as kind and virtuous.'

(The fact that the Black man missed his bus in the process of having 'Liberal Lucy' almost frogmarch him across the road is not important - what matters is that the white liberal feels as if she is a hero and she will gain rewards and reverence from the community).

The answer is B - at least the white skinhead was honest enough to say 'I don't like you' in a roundabout way.

If you moved migrants (incl. niggers) to the tree-lined streets of Ascot, Woking, Henley etc. where these 'respectable' cunts live, within months they will be screaming 'get these fucking scumbag shit-slinging monkeys out of here now!'

Scratch a seemingly 'Woke' person below the surface and you'll find a proper racist. Such people do not believe in democracy, freedom of thought/speech and platforming of Blacks if it's a) not advantageous to them and b) if said Black is going to walk off their plantation.

 

[melty]

It's really beyond sad and pathetic how utterly cucked and destroyed the former British Empire has become. It's like a comedy skit about a race of aliens, so soft and broken that rather than fight, they simply invite an invading force in and hand over their young women and children while they sit around sipping tea. People would laugh and think it's too absurd, that a race like that would be too stupid and pathetic to evolve in the first place, yet here we are. The most dysgenic, uneducated, straw-chomping backwater hillbilly in America is easily worth 10 British "men" and it's not even close. It's crazy to think this thing used to somehow be an empire that actually conquered places. Was everybody else in the world just asleep for a century? Was that the secret to European "excellency"? I thank God everyday my ancestors had the wisdom to leave that forsaken continent to come to the greatest nation on earth, the United States of America.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

So with that grooming gang thing being made public -- and that it is not some "baseless conspiracy theory" after all -- could that increase or decrease the risk of civil war breaking out in the UK? And of course it being "racist" to notice such really meant "wrongthink" on the matter. Oh yeah and it shows yet again that Wikipedia is run by SJWs.

 

[Inquisitor_BadAss]

Octopus and Ecotricity are scam companies, I'd expect one of them at least to go bust soon.

Labour seem to have swallowed the Nuclear flavoured Kool-Aid and are rolling back some of the Wind and Solar Farm plans in favour of Battery and smaller Nuclear Plants.

Dale Vince is vehemently anti-Nuclear and has said that Ecotricity will never sell Nuclear Power.

Same bloke can't even build a new Football Stadium for his team.

Nuclear is the only viable option outside of fossil fuel and gas. There's no reason not to at this point considering how efficiently we can recycle uranium rods, we have plans for reactors to be put in coal fire plants which could be started the moment clean up is complete. Energy independent in a couple decades and labor could achieve this if they pull there finger out.

You are describing this:


(George Alexopolous is not only a really talented artist. Some of his cartoons are fucking hilarious).

Spoiler: A couple of his other gems on Progressive racism

And yes, there is a class war. But it's mainly between the working class and those pretending to be working class. It's hilarious (at first) watching someone from a Middle Class background doing their best to play their mental stereotype of being working class - which includes accents, word choice, fashion but rarely the actual 'working' part. In the popular mind the enemy of the very rich is the poor, but in reality the enemy of the very rich is the Middle Class. The elites live in terror of upwardly mobile Middle Classes encroaching on their lives. I don't think they've ever recovered from cruises becoming available to the upper average family. So they do everything they can to perpetuate a class war - but not between the elites and the downtrodden, but between the working and middle class. Historically most revolutions happen when the Middle Class and the Working Class find common ground. And they are well aware of that.

That's why they shit themselves about the early EDL whereas BNP they were fine with. It's because the early EDL was "suits and boots" with Middle and Working class people finding common ground over Islamism. A lot of the early efforts against it - infiltrating to change the emphasis, constant demonisation - were with the intent of discouraging Middle Class people from participating or just being receptive to it.
