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.

When I hear people talking about buying sneakers, using flashlights and taking the elevator,

Is 'using flashlights' and 'taking the elevator' a euphemism for something?

Yeah. Being fat and retarded.

Ah yes, men standing there with their hands in their pockets, truly the most threatening of all.

He is gonna get away with it just that like one pajeet labour minister who said to slit their throats.

Will Robinson meet the fate of 'death by natural causes administered via paki', while in prison?

In lighter news:
"We won't make working people's lives worse" - Kier starmer
"Be prepared to get fucked with austerity and higher taxes" - also Kier Starmer.

He's increased the cap on bus fairs. Luckily busses are used by the rich and powerful elite and not the lowest rung of workers who can't afford a car. Oh wait!

Not looking forward to that budget, lads...

 

[pot of sneed]

They don’t really know what they’re doing.

They know exactly what they're doing and they're bringing the hammer down to put the law abiding natives in their place. It's a threat and a mockery of justice, showing off how two tier the system is.

 

[Hubelublub]

They don’t really know what they’re doing.

It's like they misunderstood the frog in boiling water technique and have decided to throw pots of boiling water onto every amphibian they find.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

I am. Then again, I'm an accelerationist.

I noticed yesterday that fuel has taken a 30p drop since last year. I guess it's time to increase the tax on petrol again. Vapes, cigs, streaming services, uber eats. car tax, road tax, NI, income tax, all of the working persons' bread and circuses will be taxed.

This will be the biggest fucking by HMRC since 2008. A generation of yewf with £50k cars and £1500 iphones have fucked around with higher-than-they-deserve wages and are about to find out.

It's like they misunderstood the frog in boiling water technique and have decided to throw pots of boiling water onto every amphibian they find.

They know what they're doing. They know nobody will say shit. The aftermath of the riots was designed to make whitey wind their neck in, it worked.
The UK needs to be burned to the ground, so that the strong can rebuild from the ashes.

Reform has gone from a protest vote for me to being the only party I’ll vote for unless the Tories go full ausländer raus.

 

[AnOminous]

Fuck the UK is a great tune but there are times when dodgy shit is dodgy shit. It would be more common to find that much in drugs on an average car travelling the UK than gold bars, the police's "tee hee, what a surprise" is blatant bullshit, they stopped the car for a reason and found what they were expecting.

Did you even read the story you posted? It literally says the exact opposite:

A spokesperson for Lancs Police Specialist Ops said: "When we stopped a Black Nissan Qashqai travelling northbound on the M6 yesterday (Tuesday October 22) at around 3:40pm, we didn’t expect to find four 100g bars of gold with an approximate value of £28,000.

At least here people often get stuff like that back because simply having something valuable is not a crime. Now if they find it in loose 20s with bags and scales, that's at least probable cause.

I've also known people to carry even much larger amounts in cash for entirely legitimate reasons. For instance, Amish often transact entirely in cash even for large purchases like property.

Was it drug money? Maybe. Who gives a shit? Just having it by itself isn't illegal and they apparently had absolutely NOTHING whatsoever other than the mere existence of the valuable object.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Reform are gutless faggots. The fact is, no party represents what needs to be done to return us to the glory days. It's just full steam ahead into the future, carrying the baggage, parasites and moochers that we should of excised in 2008.

I'm still waiting for brexit to happen.

 

[teriyakiburns]

It literally says the exact opposite:

I always assume the police are lying.

The real story here is that Starmer and the Slapper almost definitely want to clamp down on gold and silver ownership, probably as a prelude to mass seizures. This story reeks of nudging people toward the idea that anyone who "hoards" precious metal must be some sort of criminal.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

Did you even read the story you posted? It literally says the exact opposite:

I did, hence why in the quoted bit you just reposted I said

the police's "tee hee, what a surprise" is blatant bullshit

They didn't mention pulling them over for speeding, erratic driving, anything else. They just happened to stop the fellow who was travelling with gold bars in the car? Like I said, them pulling a random car over and finding drugs is more likely than stopping someone with gold bars. Cash in that amount is more likely. It's not a coincidence they stopped that car, they're just lying about that.

There's a limited shelf life on that sort of bullshit, diminishing returns each time, eventually people will get fed up and push back. Especially if TPTB are retarded like this, they'll get more brazen each time and piss more and more people off. Nothing is forever.

Kids in rotherham were raped as early as the 80s
Pakis were flooding the north as early as the 80s
labour favoured non-brits over brits as early as the 90s
nig-nog knifed by nogs and whitey blamed 90s
Muslims were protected because of muh nyn ellevun from 2000s
Pakis going bang and stabby akbar from 2005
nig nog killed started riots 2006~
Part and parcel of living with pakis in 2010
Pakis still rapey and stabby in 2010
A few dossers smashed up a hotel 2020

Every decade, more stabby, more paki, more niggy than the last. Every decade the natives age, become more cattle-like and defend the nogs due to stockholm syndrome.

The only great push that's coming, is the one happening to whites out of their own country.
