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.

The white politicians in the UK are too busy drafting legislation that dictates under 25s shouldn’t be jailed for rape because their brains are too small. My bad, that’s Scotland

Obligatory "not a brit", what's this about?

 

[Marvin]

Because you all worship niggers.

Lol not in my state. They're a dime a dozen.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Lol not in my state. They're a dime a dozen.

I need this translating to English, in a light-hearted way.

"In my state" in English means you're a mess of a person, usually through illness.
I don't know what a dime is or how many fit in a dozen.

 

[FedPostalService]

If one owns a smartphone >£50/month and a 50" TV, they aren't working class.

That’s literally me

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

That’s literally me

Me and my family have worked hard to get to the middle class

You aight.

 

[keke]

Obligatory "not a brit", what's this about?

It’s exactly what it sounds like. Perhaps misleading that I said it’s drafting, because it’s already in the sentencing guidelines. Men under 25 still have growing brains so cannot be held responsible for raping people. Therefore, no prison time is the default. This is a Scottish thing, but the broader UK does it anyway. Men of any age often still don’t go to jail, it’s just not default like the under 25 thing.

You can find an article every single week about a man raping a child and found guilty, and serving ZERO jail time. Sentencing guidelines purposefully allow this.

Here is one of dozens of articles I have saved. Another 5 year old victim, interestingly the first time I realised this was happening it also involved a different 5 y/o.

And FYI—nobody in the UK gives a fuck about this.

 

[A-Logato]

Most people who describe themselves as working class in the UK don't even actually work anyways.

 

[isalaide]

This is why it's easy for me to understand why they chose a black woman, she will get away with saying and demanding things any whitey would be crucified for.

Nah, the narrative will be to depict her as Islamophobic and she will give enough detail of policy ideas that will disproportionately impact paki goat rapists as opposed to say, young Aussies on a work visa, that the label will be firmly pinned on her.

She will also say A Wrong Thing about muh Gaza. This is easy as nearly everything you can say about Gaza is A Wrong Thing.

 

[Rusty Metal Skull Gun]

Are the dynamics that significantly different in Bongland?

No. The Africans and the Afro-Caribbeans are two separate demographic groups, who don't particularly like each other. For whatever reason, in terms of crime, school truancy etc., the Afro-Caribbeans tend to be a lot worse.

This is why it's easy for me to understand why they chose a black woman, she will get away with saying and demanding things any whitey would be crucified for.

They would have chosen her if she'd been white, but there's truth in this. See also how Rakib Ehsan has a near-monopoly in "actually, Britain isn't racist" articles, because he can say things that a white person couldn't.

Unfuckingbelievable, i thought the laws regarding anything rape, be it of a minor or an adult, are a joke here in Germany already but the offenders at least get to see a cell from the inside here usually. This completely passed me by, how there wasn't a national outrage against this is simply mind-boggling. Mind, i think there wouldn't have been much of an outrage if such a law was passed here either, nobody cared when the laws changed this year so that first offenders who get busted with CSAM won't get prison time anymore.

 

[keke]

And what about the 1000 years of progress that brought us here or the 150 years under the Empire (And Queen Vic)?
Compare that to the 10,000 years of eating shit, raping kids and living in mud huts like fucking niggers.

Your talking points are the same shit I had to listen to in the 90s as my hometown got flooded by pakis. But sure, I'm a racist for hating brownoids and it's really the rich white men that are the problem.
Neck yourselves you fucking faggots.

It is a fact that voting for white men, like I imagine you did, has not benefited the country in anyway. The trait of simply being white and male is not enough. They aren't on your side. Are you seriously under the belief that Kier Starmer is preferable as long as the person to get a handle on migration isn’t a woman? Lmao the only faggot is you if you believe that.

My talking points that Boris Johnson in 2019 betrayed the UK is the shit you had to listen to in the 90s? Queen Vic had no political power, the royals now exist in a ceremonial role only.

I am currently trapped in railway hell (let's you and him argue about nationalising the trains!) and not getting home for hours, so I'll assume you're serious so I can distract myself from suicidal ideation endless tannoy announcements about unattended bags:

State = the American state the poster currently resides in (if anyone gives me guff about how four states are actually commonwealths, I will lamp you)

Dime = ten American cents, so 1/10th of an American dollar; physically, the smallest and thinnest coin, thus adding to its reputation as not worth much

Dozen = 12

If you can buy a dozen of something for a dime, that thing is of little value; in old money, ten-a-penny.

 

[keke]

Unless her stance is 'they all need to go back, legal and illegal',

Delusional. Genuinely worthless opinion that helps nothing because it will never happen from anyone. You are hoping for a fairytale.

No. The Africans and the Afro-Caribbeans are two separate demographic groups, who don't particularly like each other. For whatever reason, in terms of crime, school truancy etc., the Afro-Caribbeans tend to be a lot worse.

The Somalis have got the ACs beat all ends up there. The 1990s mass Somali immigration to London coincided (because no one outright admits, it caused) an explosion not only in the existing high gang crime rate, but youth crime went absolutely through the roof.

You can stick benefit fraud on that too, the malis still commit benefit fraud at the highest rate of any ethnic group.

The malis did what the Met had never been able to do and substantially eliminated the yardies from many areas of North London's drugs trade. By killing them. The yardies were roadmen but the malis had literally come from 1990s worst-place-on-earth Somalia and were having absolutely fucking none of it.

And every mali kid had a knife and as many of them as possible had a gun. The knife crime rate in under 18s in the mali areas of London spiralled to what are now uncontrolled and uncontrollable levels.

To put the cherry on the shit sundae, they were full sand-speak Arabic muzzies into the bargain. People whined about hearing patois and creole, well now full fucking ends are first language Arabic.

However the fuck it is done, you have to resist the entrance of Somali immigrants to your communities. Malis are fucking nuts and live everywhere the same way they live in fucking Somalia, which is a desert shithole ruled by homicidal warlords with no functional government and inhabited mostly by goats.

History says, yes it has.

Way to twist words like an effeminate faggot. I don't care that badenwog is a woman, our last, best hope of freedom was Truss and I supported her. She wasn't an icky huwhite male either. I'm sick to the back teeth of being told niggers and pakis aren't a problem, and worse, they're the way out of the shit they've caused.

My talking points that Boris Johnson in 2019 betrayed the UK is the shit you had to listen to in the 90s? Queen Vic had no political power, the royals now exist in a ceremonial role only.

What happened between 1950 and today that made the country worse? What one constant has occured and is linked to a breakdown of communities, higher crime, higher taxes, worse music and general stink? Could it be the importing of infinityniggers? Nahh, it must be too many white men.

Queen vic had power, but it was nudge. nudge, wink wink power because those who had power respected her immensely.

Are you seriously under the belief that Kier Starmer is preferable

Bonus round. Which Lord and potential faggot is pulling Kiers strings? Is he:
A) A huwite male
B) Brownoid mutt

Answers on a postcard.

 

[keke]

History says, yes it has

lol you pathetic queer reminiscing about the good old days meanwhile you live in modern day

Could it be the importing of infinityniggers? Nahh, it must be too many white men.

I didn’t say that. You imagined I said that because you think daddy still loves you. Guess what? He sold you out for cheap brown ppl labour.

What happened between 1950 and today that made the country worse?

Since 1950 there have been 12 white male prime ministers, 3 white women (only 1 elected), and one brown man. Currently, we have a white man running the ship, and it’s open borders as it always has been. Where have you been?

Local cuck loves wogs, water wet, sky remains blue. I'm not interested in the opinions of civnats, sorry.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

No black person or paki and everything in between has ever given me shit, plenty of white guys have. I have the brain power necessary to recognize that there are cunts of every colour and creed, I will treat the cunts like cunts and the good ones like brothers and sisters.

If that makes me a limp-wristed faggot then so be it. It's preferable to going through life paranoid that the next person one shade darker than Casper will be a threat.

 

[keke]

Newfag wants to keep the current open borders because the black woman isn’t likely to start breaking international law and displace a legal (like it or not) population. Do I want them here? No. Are you a retard? Yes.

 

[isalaide]

in old money, ten-a-penny.

I remember when down the shops a 10p mixture cost 10p and contained ten fucking sweets.

I got outright fucking robbed at a 'local shop' recently for SEVENTY FIVE FUCKING PENCE for what I would recognise as a 10p mixture.

I want to know what is being done about confectionery price inflation in this country.
