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.

No one I know IRL is talking about this. The only comment I’ve heard is how it ruined a shopping trip.

I've heard people talking about it outside. They're worried it will come here.

 

[Amin Yasister]

I hope Starmer is going to come down as hard on the Harehills protesters, and also the pro-immigration protesters too. He just seems to be intent on chasing up the "far right" protesters.

A rioter is a rioter.

He's not and you know it, let's not pretend otherwise.

You should kill yourself you dumb faggot. Most villages are working class people who have lived there their entire lives. They have no where else to go because they have no way to get housing any where else so they live in the family village. The rich people and middle class live in the cities well away from the 'boring rural life'. And you hope the government destroys what's left of actual British culture and people? Fuck you. All you have done in these threads is say how brown and asians should totally stay and now you're saying fuck the working class who live in villages because people in urban areas called you racist.

I bet you're a sikh with the way you keep posting.

Why do you keep doing this? why when met with a different opinion do you immediately posit that they might be a dirty brown as if that means anything

Color is very important on kiwi farms dot net. That's why we have so many themes to choose from!

 

[Midwit]

The sleepy village fucks are the ones calling me a racist for pointing out the paki problem in the 90s.

The rich people and middle class live in the cities well away from the 'boring rural life'.

It all depends on the village in question, a village in the Home Counties is going to be very different in make-up to one in the North or the Midlands since most of the wealth is concentrated down south. I lived in one for a few years and it was very much working class, the kind of place where quite a few of the blokes carry shotguns in the boot of a Corsa or Focus.

Now I'm a fucking sperg who hates with a vengeance but it's kinda sus with your recent join date.

Everyone who joined after 2021 is an absolute retard and probably smells like spam fritters.

 

[Welsh Catgirl Enjoyer]

I’m the same. Do I want this to happen? No. Does it need to happen? Yes.

It's more an inevitability to me.

The last resort when politics falls through is rioting and violence. Politics as a concept only works because it's seen as the compromise to avoid the constant rioting.

If politics fails, then this is what happens.

Sounds like a Fuentes fan or something.

It's far more to do with the cultures than the literal skin pigmentation. There's clearly something different between Muslims in the UK versus Sikhs in the UK.

I mean, the stabbings that kicked this all off was the kid of Rwandan parents. Rwanda specifically is kind of a red-flag area given how little time it's been since they stopped genociding eachother.

Why do I keep thinking the people defending brown people and encouraging the destruction of whites aren't white? Well there's a small clue in their ideas.

This isn't about a single event though is it? Muslims blew up little girls before, they rammed vans into christmas markets. Blacks are constantly violent. The yoga place stabbing wasn't even the actual kick off point. A muslim threatening the mourners was what got this going full swing. So a black man killed white children, white people tried to mourn and got threatened for it. You simply have US and THEM. The idea that there's any sort of ethnic minority that should be welcomed is a mistake as I've said in the riot thread. Eventually any racial groups in the same territory will clash. It's how nature works and it doesn't matter how nice either group is now because tomorrow they're not the same people and they're both looking for more space and resources. Humans grow to fit the resources they have and eventually that causes conflict. Arguing Sikhs are okay denies all the problems Sikhs have caused when you look into them and it denies the reality of survival on a small island when the natives have no where else they can go but the sikhs do.

The problem is Indians and that are such cowards. Had the misfortune of working in Leicester for a time and they hate pakis more than anyone. The 2nd gen+ will also regularly complain about freshies off the boat. They will legit do nothing about it though. Will only kick off over cricket and nothing else. Will be interested to see if Muslim violence escalates if they will grow a spine. More likely they are silently cheering letting the whites be sacrificed for them.

I kept telling friends that Labour fucking hate us and we’d soon miss the Tories who just didn’t care about us. They’re going to find this out the hard way now.

I hate being right

Hilarious of The Guardian to imply we even had a "Stop The Boats policy" to begin with. Labour binned off the Rwanda plan the moment they came into power, and since then we've been rolling the red carpet out to boatwogs just as the Tories have been doing for years. It's only a matter of time before the (((NGOs))) strong-arm Starmer into establishing "safe routes" and taxpayer-funded ferry crossings, at which point Labour will have dropped all pretense at putting any breaks on immigration whatsoever.

A lot of the pressure within Labour to scrap the Rwanda plan was from Alistair Campbell. Who is currently working for the Albanian government. The same Albanian government that is building its own asylum processing centres and have just signed a massive contract with Italy to take their boat people to process. The same Albania that is the source of the criminal gangs that smuggle people into the UK.

Fucking clown world.

A rioter is a rioter.

27 arrested, 4 charged and remanded so far and 1 recalled to prison cos of course the kind of person who's gong to engage in thuggery is much more likely than average to have been hauled before the beak at some point in the past. It's VERY unusual for people to get remanded in the UK, usually that's reserved for murder suspects and obvious flight risks.

Exactly this. There are some areas of the country that are made up of a series of ( in my view ) predominantly middle class villages and small towns. In these home counties, you will find that the majority are Libertards who think that immigration has been a good thing, being anti-immigrant is racist and anyone who thinks otherwise is at best overreacting and at worst a Nazi.

The problem is that these people have been programmed by decades of "education" / politicised Left wing media news and peer support to think this way. Their only first hand evidence of immigration is probably either their doctor or somebody they give money to for a service ( take away delivery / car wash / small store ). That or a colleague who is very well educated and civilised and works in their office in London.
They see this immigration as improving their lifestyle. They have no concept of us being invaded, overrun and subverted.

As I mentioned earlier, to suggest this to them is overreacting, exaggerating and trying to drum up racism in their eyes. The affluent people of the South will not understand this point of view until it is their lifestyle that is negatively impacted - they lack the forethought to see what is coming and are complacent that the status quo will exist forever.

If you attempt to explain to them why people "up North" are rioting, there is a genuine look of glazed bewilderment. They don't understand about radical religious elements, the violence it encourages ( and that has repeatedly happened ), the employment being removed by indigenous workers being undercut, that whole areas of the country have become ghettos occupied by foreign usurpers. They don't understand and they don't care - it hasn't happened to them....yet.

There is a point in the Turner Diaries, where the protagonist, Earl Turner asks "what will it take to get these people off the bench and into the game ?" and that is the issue here - most of the home counties live a life of too much luxury to stand up.

Is the Turner Diaries a glimpse into the future ?

In this book the government begins by implementing numerous repressive anti-white laws : by making it a hate crime for white people to defend themselves when crimes are committed against them by non-white people, even after all weapons have been confiscated; and pushing for new surveillance measures to monitor its citizens, such as requiring them to possess a special passport at all times to permanently monitor where individuals are.

 

[3deadniggers]

But your doing it to people saying "We shouldn't genocide everyone 1 shade darker than Casper"

Correct. I believe in a them and us and if you side with them (non-natives) then you're either brown or a traitor. I'm pretty simple in the way I see things because I don't want to repeat this weekend again in 100 years time because other ethnic groups are left to fester and the scenario repeats again.

I don't even like the different British countries being under one banner. I would rather they all had their own governance and were able to self actualize because they deserve it. I know I'm not Scottish or Welsh and they're not me. I would like to see what Scotland for the Scottish means as well as Wales for the Welsh. Mingling is fine but people deserve a homeland where they can just be themselves and that applies to all people. I think it's easy to understand why I think people advocating for any territory of one group be shared by another will only result in disaster and think the only people who have an interest in that are brown. It's not like they aren't informed on the problems when they're in a thread discussing it daily. Even the Romans didn't mingle with the natives very much and weren't all "1 shade darker than Casper". The M1 is nice but it was still a foreign invader taking territory and I object to that no matter the skin colour. Maybe a Scottish man can have a Welsh wife, but she needs to be kept away from the sheep and back home before it's dark.

As I mentioned earlier, to suggest this to them is overreacting, exaggerating and trying to drum up racism in their eyes. The affluent people of the South will not understand this point of view until it is their lifestyle that is negatively impacted - they lack the forethought to see what is coming and are complacent that the status quo will exist forever.

The villages around London are basically bunkers for the rich. They can have what they deserve by all means but that's a minority of villages in the country. I've argued in the thread before granny towns in Scotland and small villages are being overrun now. Those people weren't racist (except against the English and Celtic fans) because they never had to be and I don't blame them for that. If you lived in Scotland your whole life and the rain scared all the blacks away until 200 were put in a tourist hotel how can I blame you for not knowing how bad they are? Your life had nothing to do with them, your internet usage was talking about the latest paths to walk. These people need protecting from the filth and did nothing wrong. They're not bad people, they're abused people who have been lead astray and they're not our enemies in the same way people advocating for immigrants here are. Most of them would whole heartily agree with little effort because they understand 'us' and 'them' and they want to protect their 'us'. They're only just encountering the "new scots" and learning the terrors those of us on the other side of the border woke up to a while ago. If you like villagers or not, they are sadly the last places with old British culture in them. Small, local communities where globalism hasn't quite destroyed yet. I would sacrifice every city in the land to save just one medium sized village not yet overrun with migrants. Because "little England" is England and massive sprawling grey boxes and super markets means nothing in the face of the green fields and sand stone houses that was so magical Tolkien turned them into the Shire.

Were I determined to make a political leverage in a fictional war gaming type situation in a fictional country, where the goal was to make the government listen to demands without killing anyone, then a strike of general essential public services like bins, rail and trucking would be the way to go. It would also be totally non violent, low risk to the general public, and distract the army. The upper classes don’t generally have jobs that keep the lights on, they have jobs that make them and other people money.
HONK!

A deliberate bank run by the working and lower middle class, those disproportionately affected by the plantation in other words, would be interesting. It would fuck everyone, but bank shares free falling and a squeeze on business lending, pound getting fucked by the market volatility, would affect the capital class a lot more than it would the service and merchant classes

I don't know whether it's in the hopes of this or not, but I'm seeing people pointing to the "terror arrest" of tommeh and the acts pretty wide ranging powers to freeze bank accounts etc as reason enough to start pulling whatever few quid they might have out.

The people rioting barely have bank accounts. Their pay checks go in and by the end of the month it's gone. They wouldn't be drawing much of anything out.

Yeah, I don't think they're the truck drivers and bin men either. What's your point?
