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.

Approximately only 60% of Brits bothered voting in the last General Election and London has been virtually colonized by non-Whites, particularly of the Islamic variety, guaranteeing the Mayor of London will always be a non-White.

The biggest enemy of the Brits, aside from the kike funded far Left, is themselves.

 

[EddyRooney]

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

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.

Four 100g gold bars ? Something approximately the size of four large chocolate bars then ? Unless this person had them unwrapped on the front seat for all to see, I would have thought it would have to have been quite a determind search to discover such "contraband".

gold bars and where to buy them ! ( other bullion providers are available, the price of your investment can go down as well as up, you may not receive back the full value of the original investment ).

£28k is little more than the annual ISA allowance, so not really a great deal of money in the scheme of things. I understand to some it is a lot, but I wouldn't have thought it was to a mediocre drug dealer. It never ceases to amaze me that there doesn't seem to be a threshold value.
In the UK, there is no specific amount of money that triggers a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) for money laundering. A SAR should be submitted if there is suspicion or knowledge of money laundering, regardless of the amount or currency of the transaction.

It does seem suspicious that this car was randomly pulled over, the cynic in me says there's more to this than meets the eye.

Looks like not even large ones.

Guys, you don’t randomly get pulled over and your entire car searched. People looking for reasons to be offended by this are retarded.

They’ll have been watching this guy as he will have been running stuff.

The only person I’ve known who has had their car searched after being pulled over also went to prison shortly afterwards because his car had a few kilos of heroin in it.

And cars that absolutely reek of weed. Most of cars will have someone in that has it, or is driving under the influence of it.

Yep.

May I introduce the concept of the Covert Human Intelligence Source, or as we call them, a fucking grass?

Or people grassing themselves up by walking out of their house wearing several grands worth of clothing and spending all day drinking with gangsters rather than working.

I dunno how it is elsewhere, but here drug dealers are not fucking subtle. The ownership of the blacked out big engined 4x4, also known as a drug dealer's motor, is often a subtle hint to the cunt being a drug dealer

The murder trial that finished up the other day in Manchester demonstrated that one. The crim ostensibly owned a garage, but he only "worked" in it when he needed to launder drug money, and had pictures on his socials (whatever they were aback then... my space maybe?) of his expensive lifestyle. Same as the gooch ganger he shot. They all flashed cash at every chance they got.

100% this, with two exceptions if you get pulled over whether it's a driving offence or you have a warrant out they don't search your car as they've got to have probable reason to believe xyz is in your vehicle.

Exception 1 being...

And cars that absolutely reek of weed. Most of cars will have someone in that has it, or is driving under the influence of it.

If your stupid enough to give them a reason to believe drugs etc are in your car, whether it's stinking of weed or baggies of rock on your passenger seat you've just given them all the justification they'll need.

Exception 2..
"Intelligence" no doubt the car with the gold bars comes under this, whether some rat had been telling tales to the police or they been investigating the person, if I was a betting man is put money on they had some intelligence on this person before they stopped them.

I've just seen.......
......my first Christmas television advertisement.

Yankee Candles

It of course continues the ever earlier trend of Christmas adverts. It used to be only two weeks before the 25th....then only starting December......Then mid November.....then after Guy Fawkes Night.....then after Halloween....Now, it would seem, all bets are off ? Perhaps so long as it's after the Summer Solstice ?!

As with nearly every advert on tv nowadays it features a white woman coupled with a black man ( pushing the wonderful diversity agenda ), so immediately the product has been placed on my never to be purchased out of principle list. The items on this list are well into double figures now and ranges from products as diverse as Gillette razors ( all men are toxic abusers ) to McCain chips ( please tell me what a family should be ) to Ben and Jerrys ice cream ( please lecture me on my government's immigration policy and how nobody is illegal ).
It must be part of the socialist agenda to defeat capitalism long term - soon I won't want to buy anything !

Mate, I got my first Mariah in the wild on the radio over the weekend. And a Stay Another Day today. It's fucking happening.

The Christmas decorations have been in our holy national shitshacks (B&M, Home Bargains) for at least a month now. Aldi have the Advent calendars in the specialbuys this week.

If you are skint and/or have kids, it makes good sense to try and spread the cost of Winterfest over a few paydays, so I can well understand why people are buying the shit now.

 

[AnOminous]

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.

This is exactly why they do it. They should need more than mere possession just to declare something "money laundering" without real evidence.

 

[Vesperus]

Incidentally, if you do find yourself in a position to buy gold (and are British) your best bet is the royal mint. Their bullion coins are both nice chunks of gold, but also legal tender for a fairly trivial amount (ie, a 1/10th ounce of gold is a £10 coin costing £250) which makes them exempt from a lot of taxes.

 

[Tony Martin's Force Ghost]

I will never hate Mariah, get fucked Muslims seethe whilst you listen to Mariah in the rice isle.

I have seen hardly any Christmas stuff this year, I have been busier but hardly seen any not even my beloved Eggnog latte.

Quite possible that which ever law enforcement agency were watching an individual, or more likely an Organised Crime Gang, that had given said Scotsman the gold to move for them. No details of why the car was stopped, or what led to the search of the car being conducted, or how poorly the Scot hid bars. But not a lucky stop.

Getting rid of cash is very difficult unless you have the means to do so, such as a business that will take cash for payment, such as a garage, car wash, nail bar, cafe, bar etc., where you can over inflate your takings, increase your turnover then pay tax on your "profits".

Putting photos of yourself holding wads of cash on social media is not something most legitimate business owners do. Seems this is the preserve of budding footballers, drill artists and Sur ron e bike owners.....

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

You're right, bad things have happened, and there is no hope anymore.

Bad things have happened, bad things continue to happen, nobody continues to care. Your response is retarded because it presumes that a nation, once strong and now weak, would suddenly snap out of the malaise of niggerfication and rise up to push them into the sea, when all realistic evidence points to the contrary.

 

[Hubelublub]

would suddenly snap out of the malaise

My response was nothing of the sort.

smdh cant enjoy fucking anything anymore

Earmuffs on and it’s warm out. Tut tut.
You know if the AMOC does decide to stop working and we plunge into a decades long , it might get some of these parasites to go where it’s warmer.
You’ll be delighted to see Britain going completely down the tubes - our cities keep going bankrupt because they’re run by idiots, and spend ridiculous amounts of money on immigrants. The cost of caring for inbred Muslim kids with horrendous birth defects alone runs into a colossal sum. Then add in the entire Muslim ghettos not working, claiming benefits and translators and healthcare for said inbred kids, plus chain migration, and you’ve got a complete mess.

The whole system is on the brink of collapse and a big part of it is immigration. There’s a hospital in Sheffield that has a dedicated TB ward, (a disease we’d virtually eradicated before mass immigration.) and not a single patient there is white British, nor has there been a white British patient there for several years.

I’m seeing reports of scabies coming back, and we also have rickets cases too. It’s all a bit Dickensian, without the snow and moral lessons
