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.

Your posts are appreciated, your alertness is great.

I must ask, why is your only source of information GBnews?

It would be the same level of a tranny retard linking new sources from buzzfeed.

I understand your agenda and politics, and opinion. But it becomes redundant and quite frankly stupid when you have a clear confirmation bias.

It would be like a moderator of the R/UnitedKingdom thread posting consistent Guardian reports of immigration.

Both sides have bias and an agenda.

Shut up retard. Welshy often quotes other news sources. He had BBC a few days back and I just references a Guardian article in the discussion.

If you don't like our sources post your own or neck yourself.

Watching the 'Your Party' shitstorm has been super cozy.

From my general circle they see it as Corbyn + the other MP, yet from the Preston demographic they see it as Sultana + the other MP. Eventually one is going to be kicked out and result in either the Leftist Islam party or the Leftist Tranny party.

This is the end point for Pro Palestine politics. Eventually you get big enough and can't just get elected based on "We're pro Palestine" and have to come up with the difficult position of throwing the gays under a bus or downplaying Islam and end up scattered across your street when you start up your car.

Corbyn will just end up getting Galloway'd, ie sidelined in his own party.

Every photo op will be the Blacked meme and if he does manage to gain any traction politically his party will just end up becoming a single issue one.

"EX navy" says if they send the Navy into the channel all they will do is escort the boats to the UK. Because France won't take them back and might declare war on the UK if it insists on not being invaded.

Farage says "I'll send the fucken navy mate"

Love him or hate the Jewish loving prick Trump has really set the cat among the pigeons with this. He took 1 single swipe and it's set off the entire political system and played into Farage's hands in a classic British style political move. It's at the point where Reform have got to try to lose. Everything is falling into place for them. Every idiot is running their mouth, every right wing guy is setting bait the left can't resist taking and Farage is giving simple answers. It's not "too complicated to solve the migrant problem". It's very very simple and easy. They have decided the foreign laws are more important than the people of this country and the people of this country are whole sale rejecting all of it. No one is going to care if random Arabs drowned in the channel. It might even do us some good and help the fish grow bigger.

This would be McSweeney and Blair's revenge against a man who has well and truly fucked Labour up permanently.

I don't see McSweeney and Blair teaming up over anything ever. McSweeney loathes Blair and pitched Starmer as a third way between Blairism and Corbyn's Momentum, aimed at the younger voter. Starmer is his puppet.

 

[HairyBadger]

Apropos of nothing. Walked through a UK carpark towards a supermarket today.
Saw a car with some self printed Charlie Kirk posters in the windows.

"I stand with Charlie Kirk and Jesus".

Odds on them lasting less time than Change UK aka the CUK party?

@teriyakiburns Then again, do any of them really like/support each other. It's a den of vipers and they'll do anything to save their skins. Don't forget that apparently McSweeney was told not to attend a meeting involving the PM and it's been reported that Starmer has run out of patience with him.

The Starmer v Blair war so close to Conference season is going to be the start of the end.

Oh I think it will go the distance, I even think it'll do quite well in some cities during the local elections. All they have to do is say "Gaza". They'll be piling out of masjid to cast their vote faster than if someone turned up outside and said "subscribe to PewDiePie".

It'll be the Labour equivalent of Reform, or Labour minus Friends Of Israel. Give it a year or so and it'll just be another muslim grievance party like Galloway's.

If I had it my way then we would take every single destroyer we have into the English channel and begin shooting down any dingy that crosses into our side. Any French caught escorting them will be giving the liberty of a warning torpedo, if they continue then they will also be blown up.

I will happily start nuclear Armageddon if it means these isles are scrubbed of this filth and I get to go down in history as the man who defeated the French once and for all.

The party hasn't even got it's feet under it yet. Who's going to run under it when it's first major news story is scamming people?

The French wouldn't go to war with us. Imagine how angry the US would be if the French tried to start a war over defending our borders. The EU is already collapsing and trying to fight us for following US advice would end the entire thing.

Do these idiots really think France will declare war over this?

 

[HairyBadger]

I don't have a problem with shooting the French.

What's the state of the French 'far right' parties (or anti immigration sentiment in general) right now? You'd think they would be pretty okay with the Brit Navy taking a hard stance and stopping all crossings as it could deter migrants going through France and shitting up Calais- sure they might end up settling in France instead but removing the possibility entry to the UK entirely would be discouraging to a few. Hell if i was Reform UK or another anti-migration politician I'd be trying to make allies in France- he's already mocked the 1 in 1 out deal publicly. Don't like or trust frogs but its a missed opportunity to not show off some potential diplomacy with National Rally leaders given how Starmer looks like a kicked dog with this weeks state visit.

It won't make a blind bit of difference. Labour voters are looking for an out and they'll bring a bunch of brown baggage with them.

If people are already prepared to forgive a cunt like Sultana they'll let anything slide.

The French are worried about the invaders from the Mediterranean Sea, and from Italy and Spain,

While I've not dug into numbers I have a suspicion a massive number of the border hoppers in France go straight through without stopping. Their nationalistic parties might be anti-immigrant but that's coming into their country, not leaving.

France helps transport them to the UK. They don't want them stopping there.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

But then you need a BBC sissy fetish to listen to music that awful.

It's literally a waste of money. Deporting them to France makes no difference. They will just come right back again.

Peter Kyle is officially the biggest fucking idiot in British politics. He's making Starmer look like a well rounded smart politician right now.

"What we really need at the moment is our military focus on all those really key issues around the world [that] are directly relating to our national defence" in relation to Trump saying use the military to defend the borders. Can any of you find a single fucking issue bigger than having hundreds of people enter your country illegally with terrorist ties who will rape your women and children? I can't think of a single bigger issue in national security. There is NO national security and foreign conflicts do nothing but encourage further displaced people to come here with their cock out ready to break into some more schools and pensioners homes.

I cannot find enough anger to express how deeply I hate these people. Pure, deep, generational hatred. I've seen kids with down syndrome have more sense of self preservation than these London cunts. Christmas is coming up, the season of Muslim terrorist attacks on Christian markets. How many will die and be told it's not a priority to protect them because we have to use our military strength to... Destabilize countries in the third world and invite the gutter oil quality people here for a free house, Government mandated child prostitute and free health care?

What are you talking about, having the navy patrol around St Helena in case Napoleon's corpse escapes is a much better use of the navy.

You joke, but if it did happen, that fucker stands a good chance of winning this time.
