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.

It's like sleeping inside a McDonalds apple pie right now, fuck me.

I love the sun. I love this nice weather. It will last nowhere near long enough.

You are however completely correct about the air's current texture.

For anyone struggling to sleep in the heat:

If you do a nighttime skincare routine, put your products in the fridge.

Those ziplock bags you can get to squish your clothes in your suitcase when you go on holiday? Put your pillowcases in there of a morning, squish all the air out, stick in the freezer. Put on your pillows just before getting into bed.

Apparently a school that I live near has less than 4% white british pupils, another nearby one is at 8.8%, I didn't realise they actually collected data on this or that it was anywhere near this bad.

All the schools around me are 90%+. I feel privileged and I@m happy for my nephews and nieces.

Almost as if somebody doesn't want us to travel.

It's incompetence. That it benefits certain malice is probably a bonus to those people, but the root cause is chronic lack of maintenance and interest.

Hahaha his surname is apposite. He's right shat things up.

 

[Tony Martin's Force Ghost]

I do the skincare in the fridge, it's great and cooling. I am witnessing some based behavior on the train. Black lady offers a seat to this ginger businessman, snubs her and sits oppossite her and a table of 3 white biddies.

 

[FedPostalService]

That's strange but not surprising.

A contact of mine works for Network Rail in Canton, Cardiff, and is also fairly active on the Rail UK Forum, so I'll ask him about this on the weekend.

If there's shenanigans, he'll let me know.

It was someone being hit by a train apparently but I’ve never seen the lines closed that long, even for that. Avanti are cunts.

I mean I can understand him doing that but also,kinda nice of her she offered. We all know the gingas suffer in the heat.

Utterly based. We need more of those microaggressions.

I was walking through Hayes the other day (don't ask), and this paki just chucks some rubbish into a hedge right in front of me. He's on his phone, doesn't miss a beat. Just shameless, blatant littering in his own community in broad daylight. And for no reason - this is on the high street and there's plenty of bins.

They're turning this country into the shithole they came from. Disgusting.

 

[close]

right in front of me

And you, proud Englishman, did nothing to correct this invader? Didn't punch him in the back of the head? Didn't stuff his trash into his mouth? Didn't even shout at him for it?

You're as responsible for your country's decline into shitholedom as he is.

And you didn’t immediately set yourself up for a hate crime conviction?

Yeah. And you let him.
You didn't say anything, and you let him.

Maybe call that shit out next time, like a proper fucking Britisher would.

or stick a big ass fan on the windowsill and have it bring cool air into the room

 

[Clem Fandango]

Eh? Where did I say I didn't say anything? I lifted up one of my headphones and called him a scumbag as I walked past, but beyond that I don't really have the time to engage people on the street in lectures about why littering is obviously bad, third world behaviour. They know, they don't care.

As for punching people and stuffing rubbish in their mouths, sure I'd love to do that. But it's pure fantasy. Maybe if my whole family died and I had nothing to lose I could go on a paki bashing spree in Southall and it's environs, but until then I have to think a bit more sensibly about what I do. Sorry that I didn't use this opportunity to rise tf up guys.

There was a similar incident reported in between Cardiff and Newport a few weeks back.

The lines were also closed for ages - impacted TFW, GWR, Cross Country and Freight services... wonderful!

I stayed in Hayes (at the Staycity, which about half a year later got turned into shelter for ukrainians...a fitting punishment because it fucking sucked) when I went to London in 2022 (yeah, shame on me) and the jeet, paki and niggery starts as soon as you leave the station.
Nobody would give a shit about that place if it wasn't so close to Heathrow.

 

[A-Logato]

Caught jeets fly tipping many many times, to the point were you sort of become desensitised to it. It's like you just expect them to be filthy and make everywhere they go become a trash ridden shit hole, like the one they moved from.

I only tend to get aggressive with them if they do it around where I live these days. If a Jeet wants to shit were he eats and dump his trash on his own door step then fine but if it goes any where near my garden then Paki bashing is back on the agenda.

If I ever get into a position of power within Reform UK, I'll commandeer a few warehouses by Heathrow and turn it into a Jeet, Paki and Nigger slaughterhouse.

The remnants can then be added to soil as literal blood and bone.

Also, those who aided and abetted them will also get a one-to-one with the 'slice me dice me'.

Should be called 'Thiefrow'.

That said, even Cardiff Airport is getting overrun by gypsies, coons and the retarded (and that's just the fuckers who work there).

Edit: Speaking of Cardiff Airport, please don't leave 'Bomb Threat Notes' in the plane toilet...

Just buy an air conditioning unit, they're not that expensive.

We want to protect the environment not destroy it by polluting it.

Fair play, we'll dump the remnants in Spain instead.
