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.

imported millions of people from the most misogynistic part of the planet

So they imported Scots from Scotland to other parts of Scotland?

Calling it now, the Threads remake will be "muh Putin", and will focus on how nuclear weapons primarily impact women of colour and fags.

WTF! The Turner Diaries were right!

You will see a hellhole wasteland filled with savages who barely speak English and who hunt for their enemies with improvised weapons

Not gonna lie I would laugh my arse off seeing a troon go without their titty skittles.

The two Labour MP's thrown out of Israel have said that this was because the country operate "Control and Censorship"

Isn't that just what the UK Government operate under, jailing people for their Social Media posts?

I also expect a fair amount of hypocritical Reddit tier dehumanization propaganda combined with tons of white feathering.

 

[teriyakiburns]

I'm going to bet the threads remake will feature Iran as the attacker. Everyone will just assume it was Putin because they haven't watched it.

Isn't that just what the UK Government operate under, jailing people for their Social Media posts?

You don't understand. UK.gov does it to protect brown Muslims from disgusting white anti-semitic oppression. Israel does it because they're filthy kikes who want to murder Muslim children and squeeze out their blood to make matzoh balls.

 

[Vesperus]

If the Threads remake includes a scene of jeets getting nuked, I'm clipping it and adding a laugh track.

This seems like the appropriate thread to ask: why are the chambers in the parliament so small? Seeing all those people cramped together is bizarre

Because there used to be less people. The place is already falling apart so it’s not like they can expand it.

That thing I said was going to happen, happened.

Because you have an elected king

That is still very funny to me.

US split from the UK because it did not want to be ruled by a King. Gaves the person ruling them the powers of a King and a rule that says the vast majority of the country has to agree if otherwise

UK, who wanted to be ruled by a King, literally took all those powers away from the King.

Hindsight is very funny.

Totally is not a coverup guys... These people deserve the woodchipper for infinity but a method to keep them alive.

Moving forwards its going to be necessary to rebuild Parliament to keep people a sword's distance away from each other, considering the New Britons are just as stab-happy as the Old Britons were.

Where do you think you are? You come in here with your six foot labia, queefing up the thread, and you expect people to be nice to you? You must be hot in real life to act like that. Sickening.

Americanisation has already ruined this thread. Is there anywhere safe from that disease?
