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.

Remember the proper skin-head neo-nazis from the 80s that wore combat trousers and black boots? Those who used to go paki, wog and gay bashing? The skin-head neo-nazis that were genuinely hard as nails and not right in the head?

Where did they go and what can we do to encourage them to come back? I mean this genuinely, if we had a decent sized group of them, say 100, prowling the city centres and skullcracking the palestinian protestors or general 2rd-worlders who mill about harrassing women all day, things would be different. Not better, just different.

They converted to Islam or became women.

Plus the actual far-right in the country is 200-400 people. Even racists don't like racists as, unless you're a terminally online blood and soil incel and never go outside, we've all got friends or, god forbid, family of the brown persuasion who are decent people.

You don't want those skinheads back. As fun as the LARP might seem you really do not want any engagement with them. Unless it's you who is the resident police officer of the thread?

Where did they go

Their successors joined the police, where they had a much easier time kicking people in the head without even having to think up any reasons like "they look different", and while getting paid for it. No thoughts, just mindless violence with state sanction.

Here's the fucked up thing, those decent darkies and friendly indians, have become a minority within their own minority and are taking flack because of the lesser amongst them. I lived in a multicultural area and have had paki friends whom I was close with. There are decent ones out there, but it's now easier to reset and let them come back in one at a time so we can better shed the undesirables.

I kind of do want them back. I want them to maraud through one city during a lefty pro-immigrant, pro-palestine tardrage protest. I just want to see balance restored.
And that's Detective Inspector Officer to you, citizen.

Neo nazis becoming the police so they can be nonces and nancies would be pretty funny.

*Sniffs*

I don't quite smell bacon just yet. As the supposed secret black man of the I should be good at detecting them.

If we start getting DMs asking us to go to Patriotic Alternative demonstrations when we'll know we've got a copper here.

@Made In Wales , please take that as a compliment as I suspect practically everyone of being an undercover police officer.

Compliment taken.

Every boomer in the country is currently raging about the free houses for boat moneys. Nothing on the BBC front page about it, but you will find a story about how evil Pakistani men clearly evil white legal women are to brave trans folx in Birmingham.

Who the fuck even likes m*rk c*llett? He killed the killstream with holohoaxtism that yt-wog schoogirl diddlin' bastard, he's so fucking boring not even his thread on here has anyone pooosting on it.
To further alert your oink alarm; on the subject of HARD FAR ALT EXTREME RIGHTIST I was recently introduced to American Futurist by some aut/vst/ics in the TNO thread, and despite being hortler ballwashing mass shooter cock gargling literal nahtzee faggot scrubs they make some good points about "movementarians" and the perils therein thereof. Specifically ; best case scenario is they're just retarded but they're probably pork joints anyway
This in the context of having constitutional rights, it's oh so much worse for us Royal Subjects.

Oh no, they were spat on and pushed!
Hey BBC, what happens when the trans activists show up to "protest" anyone opposed to them?

Dear Feeder was on a podcast with Collett and Salty Cracker and it was just really sad that our visionary leader could be so retarded that he couldn't see spot a guy that glows so hard that you can see him from the International Space Station. That's what Jew sperging will do to your brain unfortunately.

 

[Chunky Salsa]

Collett is still around? Wild.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Literally who?

Anyway, RE trannies in brum:

The man pushed and spat at three attendees during a march in New Street at about 13:00 BST on Saturday, police said.

Did the BBC just assumed that obvious actors' gender?

 

[Chunky Salsa]

Literally who?

He runs PA, which started out as a 'Lets start political party' group, then said they won't be doing that soon but definitely will eventually so keep donating, then just said "Politics is gay" and instead run get-away-camps and social events and focus on 'optics'. It's basically cup scouts for grown men; and a dating service for racists. He's probably not a pig, because I've gone through background checks and the government are fucking incompetent with them. But PA is 100% monitored to fuck, since they demand all your information if you sign up. That and one of his capos just sold information to the ADL when he got spiteful.

There's a pretty funny video of Collett getting dragged into a hotel room and interrogated by some old school National Action types where they call him a faggot and go through his phone and laptop, pretty hilarious. He sounds like a right little bitch in it, and none of his minions helped him. I assumed he just got the people he wanted to get into his boyscout group; and then vanished.

old school National Action types

Try hard university students from Warrington?

I understand those words on their own, but put together, none of it makes sense to me, and I'm ok with that.
I appreciate the effort of the write-up, but I'm going to stay happy in the ignorance.

Nah, bunch of twitchy blokes in their 40s that looked about ten seconds away from prison raping the man lol.

That's fair, he's a dull, out of touch, irrelevant tard anyway. Unless you want to go camping with autistic middle aged men and talk about starting a cult, he's never going impact your life.

You say cult, I say gay orgy in the woods.

Yeah that's probably right.
To change the subject, I did the NC500 recently; absolutely beautiful place Scotland is.

I've always wanted to do that. Does it live up to the hype?

 

[Chunky Salsa]

Absolutely. We did a load of hikes, the landscape is beautiful. We broke down halfway - pothole ate a wheel and smashed it to fuck - but even being stranded, it was so picturesque that we didn't give a shit. John O Groats is crap unless you're doing the 140 mile hike though. Loch Ness was breathtaking. Well worth it, and only about £400.

Warrington has a university?
