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.

lol the situation shouldn’t have existed and the guy literally did nothing wrong.

He broke the law. He did so deliberately. He got punished.

It's simple as that and no amount of hysteria will change those facts.

Considering we're the only ones who pay our dues except America, the Baltic States shitting bricks over Russia and maybe France, that ain't happening bub.

The law in question is utterly exceptional and flouting bad laws is an imperative. The fact that the cops are perfectly willing to enforce exceptional laws makes them fucking exceptional and disgraces to the badge.

So if it was illegal to defend someone else who's currently the victim of an ongoing crime, and a guy kills a dude who was raping his mother, does he deserve to go to jail for killing the rapist?

There's no point talking to Americunts about law, they don't respect laws that's why they are all sucking black dick in jail for twinkies.

Ah, what an adorable strawman.

 

[Unog]

Ah, what an adorable strawman.

I mean, not really. It's the extreme end of that kind of logic, which I took to an absurd level to demonstrate the point that saying "he broke the law, he deserves it" is fucking borderline magical thinking.

I'm sorry, but it's magical thinking to equate 'breaking the law' to 'deserving punishment'? What plane of existence do americans live on lmfao

Stop, dude. Just stop.

 

[Sissy Galvez]

Don’t they have anything better to do than go after innocent tax payers? Why are they doing this and going after anyone critics of ugly trannies?

That country is fucking garbage, just kick it out of the EU already.

UK law isn't real law and only cucks obey it.

Hey now!

Haven't you seen his constant power-leveling about his mental disability?! Have a little bit of pity for our poor, exceptional Briton brother. If Mommy Gubmint doesn't look out for him, he'll get wedgied so hard his special rubber pants will perforate his colon.

You must be confused Americunt, I don't have any mental disabilities just a painkiller addiction but that comes with having chronic pain from physical disabilities.

Okay, here's another one: If the U.K. government made showing dissatisfaction with it illegal, and a guy complains publicly about the House of Commons, does he deserve to be arrested?

 

[LocalFireDept]

So many crooked toothed island slaves ITT getting mad that freedom-enjoying galaxy brain American chads can say "fuck the police" without consequence lmao

 

[Sprig of Parsley]

Stop talking to us about it any time now, then.

You must be confused Americunt, I don't have any mental disabilities just a painkiller addiction but that comes with having chronic pain from physical disabilities.

You sure? I mean, are you really sure?

 

[Chaos Theorist]

You must be confused Americunt, I don't have any mental disabilities just a painkiller addiction but that comes with having chronic pain from physical disabilities.

What painkillers and what brands of painkillers?

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

You must be confused Americunt, I don't have any mental disabilities just a painkiller addiction but that comes with having chronic pain from physical disabilities.

So... are you saying that your only mental disability is a painkiller addiction? How is it that you Britbongs can't even properly utilize the language that you originated? Thanks for side-stepping my main point though; rubber pants confirmed.

Also, I'm not an American, budday.

I just wish I was.

UK law isn't real law and only cucks obey it.

Both our countries laws based on maritime admiralty law you retard. Your Birth Certificate is a document of maritime admiralty jurisdiction and it pertains to the sea of commerce, and it comes from the process of ships carrying cargo on the high seas. You and everybody essentially came from the waters, you were all once "seamen" in your fathers trousers. Your mothers went into "labour", your mother was "contracting" and when you were born you got your citizen"ship". And the word "commerce" literally means sexual intercourse. So a ship carrying cargo on the high seas comes to "birth", its called the birth of a ship. The ship comes to port and the "waters break" and it goes down the " birth canal" and reaches the dock. Then the "Doctor" signs a certificate for the ships resources, and when you go to court you get in the "dock". The "banks" control the flow of the "current" hence currency and you make "Withdrawals" and leave "deposits" in the "bank", its the sea of commerce. So basically your birth certificate is documentation that a man or woman had sex and is connected to a juristic person with "legal" status and certifies than a human resource was born for purposes of commerce and if you agree to being that legal title you are operating under commerce and and follow the laws of admiralty jurisdiction.
