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.

I honestly thought she was dead.

Apparently she's just finished doing some voice work for a children's BBC show. Perfect timing really.

No, but I bet she now wishes that she was.

People have reported what she has said to the Police - if arrested, she'll face two charges:

One of Malicious Communications
One of Antisemitism

She'd be looking at a minimum of 12 months, but more likely to receive a suspended sentence and/or a massive fine and the end of her career would be virtually certain.

You watch then as her showbiz pals desert her.

She might make a comeback, giving an interview and blaming stress/mental health/whatever, but for the best part she has fucked herself royally.

And the BBC are going to get found guilty of producing Hamas propaganda while we're in wild optimism land.

The idea that voting for Farage will result in a different outcome this time is idiotic. He's got a literal fucking paki in with the bricks ffs

Then there's people like Britain First who who at least have integrity and conviction of their beliefs, but their support base is mostly fucking monkeys, and instead of giving them support you look to Reform instead, and then whine when, yet again, you're fucked over by russian dolls established politics (and Reform are just that)



Yeah, it would have been better to face facts decades ago, instead of living the delusion. No government was going to deliver that bitter pill, but at some point that country's got to realize there's literally fuck all left, that 'British Supremacy' was bullshit all along and people just need to stop coasting along, letting incomers overtake them.

It's not that the warnings weren't there, it's that the actions are misdirected. The British establishment has misdirection down to a fucking art, I'll give them that.

The difficulty is that Britain First, despite being a good party, do not have the gravitas of Reform UK.

Paul Golding is a good leader and a decent man, but he lacks the Nigel factor and Britain First are still seen by the sheeple as too extreme (even Reform UK are considered a bit OTT by some.)

My hope is eventually for an overarching Right Wing party which will absorb UKIP and Reform along with Britain First and BNP/NF and become the go-to for patriots.

I'll admit that Farage isn't God but he's the best of a bad choice on offer - a bit like in the USA, do you want Orange Bad Man who will piss certain people off and lead to the world shitting itself or do you want more woke bullshit under Kamala. The USA said no to the woke bullshit, yet even some on the Farms who are Right Wing are saying that Trump is a useless globohomo niggerfaggot.

Don't blame Nigel for capturing the mood of the nation, blame others for not upping their game.

Apparently she's just finished doing some voice work for a children's BBC show. Perfect timing really.

I know, but I'd love to see a KC take the case on for any Jew who wishes to fund a case against her.

The salt would be immense.

I just love how the very framework to get right wingers for wrongthink is getting turned on celebrities that try to navigate the absolute shitstorm of having an opinion on Israel-Gaza that doesn't result in them getting shitcanned and their careers getting finished off.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Smarmy pricks like Gary Lineker and Dawn French and that paki 'comedian' chef watching their careers fritter away because they said a nono word.

I don't even fucking like Israel but it's so cathartic to see political activists get their shit pushed in.

They never thought the day would come when their 'laws' would be used against them.

I've no sympathy at all for these rats - off they can pop right into the bin.

I'm neither pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, but I am pro-peace and fucking quiet though.

Speaking of BBC employees and more bad/cringe takes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0r1xl5wgnko

Seriously, for a supposedly smart man, this is a dumb article by Jeremy Bowen. If Governments don't do what he says, how he says and when he says then they're wrong.

Bringing back coal mining would save a shitload of mining towns, and turn steelworks into something that could actually turn a profit. Both of these would be immense for creating jobs and bringing more into the economy while uplifting the quality of life for hardworking grafters.

We've got hundreds of years of coal left and by then we'll have drills capable of going further under the surface and extracting more coal.

They vote Labour. Fuck them.

Wakefield,

Wakefield only turned paki in the past 10 years. Another town I had the displeasure of seeing turn muslim. I think I might be cursed.

My hope is

how are they ever going to up their game with you talking them down? literal field nigger retarded reasoning. they need people like you to voice them up, reform steal their rhetoric but I guarantee they won't deliver. reform are containment, you'll see.

This is the absolute genius of the backlash era, rats is a genuine British term for disgusting vermin and for some fucking reason it's become another neo-nazi dogwhistle against the Jews. I'm already on my way to deplatform you and phone PREVENT, sweetie.

It's super easy for 'politically active' folk to say 'Racism bad' or 'Homophobia bad' or 'Stop killing people' etc. but trying to make any sense of a conflict that has raged on for 80+ years while avoiding the political minefield is beyond 99% of celebrities. Someone needs to ask Katie Price about the situation so she'll finally get locked up after years of drink driving offences covered up by her spacker kid.

Which means the mudflood is coming south to a town near you.

I find Australia to be frustrating because they are sleepwalking into the same fate, but their cities are so spread out they can live in bubbles of denial. Aussie wages are already getting to the stage where they aren't much more than UK wages due to all the cheap labour imported.

My wife has already decided she doesn't want to raise our future kids over there so she wants us moving back to Europe, it's just about working out where we want to settle that isn't going to end up with our kids getting groomed or stabbed.

I’d start with: what is the most racist white country in Europe?

 

[Chunky Salsa]

It does seem to be that everyone is doing a calculus in their head of 'How far can I get away from the darkies, while still being able to afford to live, and still having good quality of life.'

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Maybe somewhere like Hungary, Lithuania, possibly the nordics. I would suggest slav-land where I am, but we've just received news that Trump is pressuring/going to pay the EU to take in their deportations. Which means, 99% whiteoid slav-land with its empty countryside and quiet villages, is soon to become mexicubanvuela thanks to the fucking yanks and corrupt EU.
We're hoping it doesn't happen but, withouth PL'ing, the things happening around here at the moment is concerning. I just want to be left alone in white-istan without fucking niggers, spics and pakis bothering me. To put it in perspective, the last time i saw a non-white was when I was in the capital city, 5 hours away.

I hope you find somewhere in peace and quiet, somewhere safe for you to homeschool your kids and a country that you can give a future to your family. Nowhere seems safe from invasion other than maybe Iceland or Siberia.

 

[SirCliveSinclairdabbing]

The mistake is going by what white European people can we join? When we can do to non eu homogenous catholic communities the same as has been done to us. Pretend to be the same and leech.

They had all been given fairly simple guidelines. Side whoever is least white, they will always be further down on the oppression pyramid, That none of them flickered for an instant when that meant supporting child murdering rapists shows that there is no real emotion there, simply a cynical calculus of what is acceptable to champion.

This back-firing on them could have been avoided with silence, common sense or recognising that both sides are awful. They chose neither.

Seriously, for a supposedly smart man, this is a dumb article by Jeremy Bowen. If Governments don't do what he says, how he says and when he says then they're wrong.

Articles like this show exactly why that BBC press crew got guns pointed at them by the IDF recently while gathering footage on one of their positions. Nothing but moralising about Israel while neglecting to mention that not a single crumb will go to a starving child in Gaza if Hamas had a say unless their own supplies were fully stocked, including the stuff they would sell food to buy more of.

Arseholes.

Irish nationalism

Lol, lmao even
Other countries have knock off nahtzees or some sort of freaky monarchists movement, ireniggaland has 9001 flavours of Marxists just cause they gave the semtex that one time.

 

[Overdrive]

I've always enjoyed visiting Finland and it's very much on my list of escape options, outside of the capital area (where they've managed to persuade some brownoids to settle (for now)) it's all just Finngolians so very much like living in a white country. The main issues are the language sucks to learn and getting residency there is a nightmare. Other than that I'd probably just do the tried and tested thing for a white guy my age and fuck off to South East Asia at last.

 

[BrightonAndHoveAlbion]

I'll either move to North/West Ireland or give up and go somewhere like Slovenia which is probably my favourite eastern euro country I ever visited. I have enough passports to my name to give me a choice of countries at least.

 

[The Gene Genie]

I do not, for the life of me, understand why they think this constant gaslighting shit is going to work for them long-term.

They don't need it to work long-term. They just need to work long enough for the native population to be utterly displaced, and it will have been enough.

It’s the same thing as those coming to the UK from ‘troubled’ countries elsewhere - who’s rebuilding your country for the better when the shit is over? Otherwise, you become an immigrant yourself. (There’s a big difference between immigrant status: contributing to the new nation and assimilating, and immigrant status: keeping solely to enclaves of your own nationality and taking up more resources in your host country than you contribute back).

Yeah, it’s shit, but someone has to be the basis for the nation’s social cohesion. A big part of the problem is the class issue, just as much as race, and it’s why the toffs don’t listen to Fat ‘Arry from the estate even when Fat ‘Arry is right. The toffs seem to want a country where serfs will keep things running while they go shopping in Dubai. It used to be the working class, but now we’re surplus to requirements and getting ever more annoying without demands for housing and wages and schools and healthcare and shit. Wouldn’t surprise me if the hope is that the immigrant class take over the old working class’ place, and the working class fuck off someplace else, leaving the toffs to their Dubai shopping.

Fucked if I know what the answer is when we have a political system built on who you know and what money they have, rather than actual politics.

And I say that as a dirty immigrant myself.

Lol, lmao even

All the “nationalist” flavours of political parties in Ireland are too busy waving Palestinian and trans flags to do anything for Irish people. It was a shock enough when hundreds of thousands of Poles turned up (Catholic country, innit), but in classic Irish hospitality we smiled and let them get on with it (kinda like how we have to when rich Brits and Yanks buy up land and property).

Then the Romanians and the Turks and god fucking knows who else decided it was “a safe country” for them to claim some bullshit refugee status in. Things are *nasty* back home right now. Really fucking poisonous. Irish people have had tf enough of it all - the EU, the alphabet rainbow bullshit, the immigrants, the Americans, the fucking lot. There’s always been a housing shortage in Ireland, and watching a mixture of filthy rich pigs and fake refugees take what’s there while Irish families are rapidly going back to six in a room and four generations in a tiny house is causing a lot of bad feeling.

We’re only a friendly nation up to a point.

In both Ireland and the U.K., it really feels like the deliberate gerrymandering and buying out of politics has created a dangerous environment. The governments right across Europe seem to think that by completely controlling the political process so that only one idea is allowed is the safest way to run the place. Apparently they know what’s best for us. All they’ve created is a political void that’s increasingly fostering more and more anger at not being heard, and not being able to change anything. Anyone who’s read a bit of history should know where that leads if things are left to fester, and it’s not luxury gay space communism.

Powerlevelling a bit here, but it’s nice to read Kiwis with a solid head on their shoulders about the power generation v green bullshit issues too.

 

[Snekposter]

Family was all that kept me here but now there all for me leaving, if anything they encourage it as they know what's coming and there isn't anything for us left here.

As for where I'll go, I've got a few ideas but once I leave then I do not intend to come back.

The USA has its arms open for everyone fleeing the tyranny of the mother country, same as we did 250 years ago.

Shit, if we're taking in the Boers right now who are after all totally, absolutely not at any risk of any genocide or ethnic cleansing whatsoever, I doubt you'll have a better opportunity before its too late. God knows Trump would go for it just so he could stick his thumb in Starmer's eye.

I’d start with: what is the most racist white country in Europe?

Unless you decide that Slavs are suddenly white all of a sudden your only option is Denmark. But good luck with that since they're equal opportunity racists considering they've got the Swedes on one side and Germany on another.
