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.

> Tories believe in merit
> We need a based black lady

So you're a Labourite, then?
Let me tell you something about Labour and black people.

Labour MP Rupa Huq got in hot water for saying the quiet part out loud. She attacked Tory chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng (who if you hadn't guessed, is black), for being "superficially black" because he was middle class and well educated and "sounded white" on the radio. She basically called him a House Nigger for daring to have an education and to make something of himself rather than live in a Council estate and make Drill videos between stabbings.

This is proof, if proof were needed, that Labour really don't like it when the niggers get uppity and try to improve themselves. They like them uneducated, violent, and most importantly dependent on the State. That way they vote Labour. The existence of people like Kwarteng (shit Chancellor though he was), as well as Braverman, Badenoch, Javid, Sunak and all those brown-coloured Tories scares the shit out of them, because they might serve as role models for kids in the kind of shitholes they grew up in.

To Labour, if you're not a stabby nigger, you're not properly "black". They want to keep them down and keep them from making something of themselves, because every time it happens it demonstrates that Labour's policy of multiculturalism and gibsmedats don't actually help those people, and that's on purpose.

Aspirational immigrants are the great untapped voting block that could keep the right in power for decades, on both sides of the Atlantic. That's why the left hate them so much, and celebrate an idea of "blackness" that is regressive and destructive.

The right need to eliminate the kind of thinking exemplified by the quoted post above. It's not about the colour of people's skin, it's about the cultures of these communities. Nigger is a state of mind, not a shade of brown. We can all be based, but the right have got to sort their shit out and deal with their racism problem. If anything good can come out of this for the Tories, it's the hope that they'll stop voting based on skin colour, and actually look at the quality of the candidate. A lot of Tory members didn't vote for Sunak simply because he was brown, and as a result we got Liz Truss. I'm not a massive fan of Sunak or anything, but he's a boring accountant who would have been boring and sensible and not committed to things the government couldn't afford to pay for. Listen to this interview with Tory MP Charles Walker last night. He said "I hope all those people who put Liz Truss in Number 10, I hope it was worth it."

I was just noting the hypocrisy in saying "I don't care about skin color" before saying "We need a black lady", showing that you do care.
 
Kemi would be great but it just ain't happening, she doesn'thave the support of the MPs.

We already know one of the options will be Sunak. They've set the threshold to get to a membership vote at 100 MPs with only 357 avaliable. Only Sunak is really guaranteed of clearing that and if other candidates split it then they can just coronate him like they all want.

Suella may have got out while the going was good but I don't think she dodges the taint of this last 45 days and Kwarteng's career on the front benches is over after that shitshow. Mordaunt's popularity may have gone up with the way she carried her role in the sucession and covering for Truss in the commons but we'll need to wait and see.

In reality we have the exact problem we had in the last leadership contest, they're all either crap or never going to get put to the membership.

Even as late as the 4th round of the last leadership contents only Sunak had above 100.

If the membership were given an actual choice, instead of the fucked up primary system the party used, the PM right now would be a black woman who hates woke bullshit.
It's a poisoned chalice, I hope Kemi doesn't sip from it.

Give Sunak his coronation which TPTB want so badly, let the Tories implode this election and she can have a role in building something new from the rubble.

Kemi won't win this time, I'd be surprised if she even runs. But after the next election the parliamentary party is going to look very different (i.e. much smaller) and whoever leads the Tories into the abyss will be jettisoned if they even keep their seat. The Tories will then have the opportunity to rebuild, and if Badenoch or Braverman survive the massacre they will be in a much stronger position. They know the time isn't right to strike, they're just raising their profiles.

The worst thing for the Tories to do would be what they did when Blair was Prime Minister, and just keep electing the same detestable old farts associated with the old regime - William Hague, Michael Howard and Ian Duncan Smith. Horrible Prime Ministerial candidates tainted with the chaos of the Major years. They need to do what Labour did under Blair in 1994 and clear out the old guard, and come up with a new message that people can get behind. Long-lasting governments have a "vision" - think Thatcher and Blair, they went into elections with very clear political philosophies that were different to what their parties did before. Whether they will or not, I don't know, but if they don't they're going to spend a very long time in opposition as Labour turn the country into a living hell.

The problem is kemi is nowhere near pussified enough to win a general election unless its against another corbyn, which Labour will be clearing house to make sure that doesn'thappen again anytime soon. The media machine would work overtime to make sure someone like her would never get in that way. The only way we get prime minister kemi (or any other actually conservative PM) is through a leadership election.
 
There is only one man who can save the Tories from themselves and the UK from that idiot Starmer
Why must we keep bringing up Thatcher?
Anyone who wants to point out that she wasn't a man she'd happily enter the men's toilets. By the standards of today that covers her. First dead trans male PM. Shatter that grass ceiling!

For the various people saying Kemi I am afraid I must disagree. She needs another 5 years minimum. She could topple Kier if Labour wins the next election and I would pay money to see the articles about how those white racist misogynists elected a black female leader because they're afraid of their patriarchal power being shattered. But right now Kemi is still relatively untested. She needs to go through a bit more and get to a slightly more cynical level of merciless.
 
Here I was thinking about making a big effort post UK Anarchy Tyranny Failstate thread in Happenings including the start to finish history of the UK to where it is today.
 
Lol, there is no 'based black tory' or 'based brown tory'. The Tories are pro immigration, pro-high taxes, and pro-trickle down bullshit. Making them 2 for 3 with labour. Hell, the Tories have spent the equivalent of a manned moon base mission every single year - for a decade now - on bringing in more immigrants to the UK, and processing them. It is a multi-billion dollar investment rivaling the NHS, the armed forces, and the money laundering systems of London.

Further to that, there is no candidate that will 'get us out the woods'. Things are fucked. Our industries are owned by foreign nations - and are being shuttered because of our dogshit energy policies and dismantling of our own infrastructure. France is now the foreign investment darling, so the post brexit plan is never going to materialise. Covid has merely accelerated already existing problems with our economy; and the war has done to the same for our shit tier, third world energy policies. We have no houses, the ones we are building are being sold for profit at prices so high that it would take the average person longer than their working lifetime (which is getting longer every year!) to pay off. That's if they can even find one to buy. There is a 'shortage' of workers announced; but at the same time, no fucker is actually taking people on. Our economy is a meme; it's made of nothing, we're a giant seaside town, with some money laundering propping everything up. Biotech? Lol, Lmao even; I am one of the 'skilled workers' that British 'Biotech' firms are supposed to be gagging for.

They don't exist, they're never going to exist. The only thing that makes people think they will exist, is the difference between the way we and the EU classify genetic changes (in that we classify removal, and addition as two different changes, whereas the EU classes them under one umbrella effect.). That's it. The biggest movement we have in terms of actual effective biotech; is the native species catergorization project; a non profit scientific venture. Who the fuck are we going to sell to? The EU won't buy our hypothetical pie in the sky magic biotech because of their laws. The USA already has a solid biotech industry, the Chinese preferentially focus on their own businesses (imagine that!) and nowhere else grows jack shit in enough quantities to bother buying lysene enhanced corn, or wasps that exterminate aphid pests. I'm looking at jobs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Poland and the USA. Why? Because the jobs that the few biotech firms that do exist in the UK may as well be spitting in my mouth with the wages they offer.

45K a year. Lol, sure buddy. After the average mortgage is between 1.5-3K a year (rent is basically the same), bills sit at 1.5K a month now - let alone when the price caps get taken off by whatever smug faggot they put in charge of the tories - so sure GSK, 2700 a month seems super reasonable. Oh, what's that ISD immunotech? 65K a year, with a lower cost of living in the EU? And your major development campus is in the middle of the beautiful countryside; and your houses are cheaper? And the bills are cheaper? Lol, fuck the UK's economy. Fuck the UK's delusions of dignity, and of being this great power. The UK is one of the poorest countries in Europe, with incredibly high income inequality; incredibly high privation, low standards of living, low literacy, low mathematics skills, and is essentially Americas gay little handpuppet.

What do you think Tories? "Lol, let's let in a million niggers, pakis, and assorted mystery meat, you ever heard of Kensian economics? WW2 was our best time, The North is dying of Ligma."
What do you think Labour? "What is thinking? I think that all kids should take it up the ass balls deep. Women aren't real lol, optical illusion. Have you guys considered lying down and dying so niggers pakis and mystery meat can take your homes, jobs, and country?"

Britain is a dead nigger storage country right now, and the freezer is broken; so we can all sit around and smell the fucking rot.

It would be incredibly on brand for him to return in this very stupid way only 44 days after.
Not hard. All he has to do is be less terrible than Liz Truss, and more palatable than the alternatives. He may not be a genius, but he's got a strange cunning to him and I'm sure he's scheming. Since you know, that's what Tories do.
 
Transgender Pedophile Who Assaulted 10-Year-Old Removed from Home Following Community Protest
Archive
Kirkcaldy, Scotland -
A notorious transgender pedophile in Scotland was forced out of his house on October 19 following a citizen’s protest against his presence in a public housing complex in which many children resided.

Katie Dolatowski, 22, a trans-identified male, appeared in Kirkcaldy Sheriff’s Court on October 18 after breaching a probation condition which required Dolatowski inform police of his address changes. Dolatowski is a registered sex offender, and his conditions stem from two incidents involving young girls.

On February 8th, 2018, Dolatowski was caught filming a 12-year-old girl in a women’s bathroom at an Asda supermarket in Fife, Scotland. Dolatowski was with a care aide using the women’s restroom and as the pair left, he doubled back alone to film the young girl who was within a cubicle in a state of undress by holding his phone over the cubical wall. After noticing she was being filmed, the girl screamed for help and Dolatowski ran away. He was later identified on the supermarket’s CCTV and 12 seconds of film of the girl were found on his mobile phone and iPad.

Dolatowski offended again soon after on March 4, when he sexually assaulted a girl in the female toilets at another supermarket in Kirkcaldy, Fife. Dolatowski entered the women’s bathroom at the local Morrisons and grabbed a 10-year-old girl by the face, pushing her in to a toilet cubicle and demanding she remove her trousers. Dolatowski also threatened to murder the girl’s mother in an effort to keep her quiet, but the child bravely punched the predator in self-defense, and ran to get her father who was just outside of the washroom.

Despite his two attacks on children, Dolatowski avoided jail for the incidents, and was instead handed a three-year community order. He was also banned from having contact with children, placed on the sex offenders registry, and ordered to complete community service.

In February of 2019, the Courier revealed that Dolatowski, who was homeless, had been housed in a women’s hostel on the basis of his self-declared gender identity. He did not have a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) – a legal document which declares an individual has changed their name and gender.

According to the Courier report, residents in the women’s shelter were horrified by Dolatowski’s placement there.

“This is a women’s hostel and it’s all women who work here. I feel sick and can’t stop thinking about what [she] has done,” one resident is quoted as having said.

Dolatowski appeared in court this week on charges of breaching an order to register his addresses with the Police due to his sex offender status.

According to the Courier, Dolatowski had been living in Leeds, England, but sought a move closer to home in Kirkaldy. He had attempted to seek accommodation through Women’s Aid, but they did not have any housing in the area Dolatowski wanted to live in.

He deliberately did not notify the Police of his return to live with his mother in Kirkcaldy between June and September of this year, with the court stating it was due to his concerns police would not find his new arrangement “suitable.” For the breach in condition, Dolatowski was handed a four month curfew.

Reduxx has learned that the unregistered address Dolatowski had moved into was a public housing complex in which many children were present.

On the night of October 19, enraged neighbors who became aware of Dolatowski’s presence in the complex surrounded the property and demanded he be removed for the safety of the community. Reduxx reviewed phone camera footage taken by a bystander showing a large number of Police, including a Dog Unit, removing Dolatowski and unidentified others from the property.

Members of the public were heard shouting “get the beast out!” And calling attending officers “beast-protectors.”

Speaking to Reduxx, a resident of the Clarimalt Drive complex, who wishes to remain anonymous, expressed that she had been dismayed to learn that Dolatowski had been living in proximity.

“Why they were housed in an estate where every house has two or more kids, most which are under 10 years old, is beyond me,” the resident said. “We didn’t know until a neighbor told us this morning. Nobody knew he was living there until he was spotted coming out the house with his mother.”

Due to the nature of his crimes, Dolatowski is often referenced in discussions about gender self-identification law and its impact on the safety of women and children.

His crimes were even cited by Harry Potter author JK Rowling, in a tweet where she used him as an example to rebut the claims that such incidents have never occurred.

Dolatowski’s case has also been regularly submitted as evidence to the Scottish Government through the ongoing process of reforming the Gender Recognition Act. However, in responding to a policy analyst group assessing the reforms to the Act, one of the representatives in the Scottish Government appeared to claim that the Dolatowski case had been made up.

Just got my "you're eligible to vote" email. The interesting part:

SmartSelect_20221021-143833_BlueMail.jpg

The last one they both emailed and sent a letter, they allowed postal and online voting.

It will be interesting to see what going electronic only will do to turn out and the balance towards candidates.

I wonder what went wrong?

Seriously though, between how quickly the knives were out for Truss, and the Corbyn thing, I'm genuinely starting to believe in the uniparty meme. Anyone with any kind of different ideas just gets cut off at the knees.

Not a Britbong, but been browsing the badunitedkingdom subreddit threads and from what I've read the general mood just feels like the country is broken, akin to a car with a conked out engine. Public services not doing their jobs, doctors and dental appointments impossible to get, potholes everywhere etc., like everyone and everything is just slowly subconsciously giving up.

This is true, but which Western countries is it not true of? The media like to pretend Britain is doing especially badly, and then act all confused when Italy and Sweden (!) "lurch to the right."

Can't speak for others, but the UK media likes to portray itself as outward-looking and internationally aware, but it is incredibly parochial. Everything has to be framed in terms of either how the English caused the problem, or how it's really something that was caused by the current prime minister and his crew. For an example, they never, ever understood even the most basic mechanisms and functions of the EU and always reverted to type when discussing EU-related issues, by trying to project local political problems onto international and union-wide ones.

But REEEE black people are supposed to be retarded and incapable of doing anything other than echoing MY opinions! I always like the "sounding white" thing too, it basically means speaking in complete sentences instead of mumbling like some kind of goddamn moron.
 
Its insane to see how many white homeless that are on the streets in Britain compared to other races
