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.

I swear, every paragraph has something that makes me physically go:

Especially apt, since the context of that emoticon is Johnny inappropriately laughing at a story of a slut being beaten till she was hospitalized.

Well, now we've established that ordering on the SJW hierarchy: Muslims outrank queers.

Last I checked the hajis always outranked the fags, at least in the last 10 years;

-Muslims
-Fags (Trannies Uber Alles, then furries and otherkin, then dykes. Ordinary old peter puffers are listed below)
-POCs (Arabs, then Indians, then Natives, then Niggos. Not you, yellow people)
-Regular gay dudes
-Addicts
-Women
-Disabled
-Single mothers
-Normal people that are JEWISH and liberal
-Normal responsible people who vote liberal
-Conservatives (And if you belong to any of the above groups but are also conservative, you're here)

This is also the welfare pyramid of communism.

The fact that the idea of teaching kids that gay people exist and have rights is hotly protested pretty much justifies the classes in my eyes. It’s like a weird chicken/egg thing.

Anything that needs to be said about LGBTQetc. can be fit into a social studies class, particularly with a deliberation segment. Quite a few schools have LGBTQetc. clubs, where they further expound upon the subject of sexuality and the struggles associated with it. Dedicating an entire class to it and forcing all students to attend it seems to be a waste of time for a lot of students: they'd rather take classes that will be useful later on, like college-placement classes or after-school activities where they learn a skill that is universally desired and used. I was never forced into learning about LGBTQetc., but I still learned about the fight for acceptance throughout the 20th century, and can appreciate and understand their struggle. If this was thrust upon me, I'd probably wind up in truancy court because I'd spend my time doing other things that were of more value to me, such as preparing for the next step in my education and a future STEM degree.

They could improve this situation by offering the class as an elective. If they had done that from the beginning, they could have garnered more sympathy and shown the world exactly how tolerant Muslims are: which is to say, not at all. The vast majority, if not all of them, would not have signed up for the class and probably would have thrown a fit over it despite it being an elective.

I think that sums things up pretty well, with a couple of minor adjustments. Where you have "Women", I'd put in "Raped Women". "Unraped Women" would be the category between "Single mothers" and the Jews.

I think it also depends on the match up, it's always a style vs style type of pity fight.

Soccer neatly illustrates the nature of these conflicts and the strategy of self-victimization.

Easy example: Raheel Raza, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Maajid Nawaz vs. white trust fund girl from Williamsburg ends with the girl getting the nod from the judges every time. A rape victim can go up or down in the rankings depending on who the rapist was, disabled have great range across the ladder as well, on the low end are the murderball dudes or a blind guy that echo locates and learned how to ride a bicycle, they are the people that function well in general. Depending on the situation they could be outranked by munchies for having the privilege of trying hard and succeeding at living life and making the best of it.

Aspiring to be the worst at life and the most pitiful and helpless group ever is the way towards the top of the prog-stack, gypsys have shot through the rankings in the last 10 years and if muslims didn't constantly churn out stories about how they are constantly Shoa'd by jokes, drawings, cold weather, rain, dogs wagging their tail, Christmas, history and seeing people eating bacon they would lose the top spot and be subjected to the expectations of functioning in a normal society and that can't be allowed to happen.

You see? You see why we mock soccer? This is why. How a sport can be so boring, and so gay, at the same time... it's really something.

 

[OttoWest]

I love it, Muslim vs gays and they all have “muh diversity” to thank for it.

Who’s going to win this? My money is on the Muslims because no one wants acid attacks, peaceful trucks running over people or stabbings. I think Muslims are higher on the progressive stack too.

Who’s going to win? Hmmm...

Really, it's all fickle and comes down to expediency. The stack placement is always for the one which furthers the believer's agenda.

All women have been raped. A male making unsolicited eye contact or attempting to start a conversation is rape (unless he is rich and/or attractive).

 

[Jarolleon]

It's rather funny that the civnats who wish to keep certain populations out of their countries on the basis that they're not liberal enough are considered far-right. As if you must have such a great faith in leftism that you assume all the imports will immediately convert, that love will conquer all.

Pls. A real sjw knows you get raped in the womb the moment your papa nuts in your mother and creates you.
but only if you're female

Sure they outbreed the gays, but in bongland they marry their cousins so much that they're getting more inbred than the royals.

Only if the muslims go downstairs and try to catch the fags.
