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 agree that it would take a long time to put things completely right, but 100 years IMO is a bit of an overestimation.

It can be done quicker and simpler:

* The UK refuses to kowtow to Islam and if there are beheadings then the whole community will be told 'any more of this and all of you will be removed to the USA/Russia/Rwanda/the Moon if necessary.

* The UK bans the Burkha and Halal practices.

* The UK refuses construction of any new Mosque until new Churches are allowed in Muslim lands.

* The death penalty is brought back.

* Those responsible for the PC society which permitted this are executed, and any wannabe Blair/Soros/Schwab is told 'you will get the same treatment, so don't fucking try it!'

* Wokeness is deemed a hangable offence.

* UK does a deal with Russia and USA to protect the English Channel - all dinghies are blown up.

* If EU/ECHR don't like it, we'll declare war on them (no, not joking at all).

What if we just shoot them.

Any solution to immigration is further complicated by the amount of Muslims that have infiltrated all areas of society:

• The police officer who arrests you might be a Muslim
• The person in the CPS responsible for deciding your case should go to court might be a Muslim (see Koran burning case)
• The judge who is taking your case on might be a Muslim
• The JURY who might be overseeing your case might have Muslims on them.
• When found guilty you'll be sent to prison with a high Muslim percentage so your options are to convert if you want to survive.

That's not even counting that local MPs are Muslim, councilors are Muslim and even the fucking head of the SNP who oversees Scotland is a fucking Muslim.

And the right wing party who is here to kick Muslims out? Guess who the chairman was for the bulk of the campaign?

Society has been absolutely fucking compromised by people who want non-Muslims to fucking perish.

What angle will the darkies take now the yids are officially at it with the IrARYANians? Are we finally gonna see some of those state sponsored whackings Call of Duty warned us about? I don't see the Palestinian knob-rubbers being given such a free hand for Iran, but you can bet that's where the sympathies amongst that lot will lie.
Gonna be a real test for plod if it does get nice and sectarian.

I just noticed the terminology Trump used here. It relates to what was talked about earlier here - Remigration.
View attachment 7495123
Remigration is the specific term that the New Right uses both in Europe and in Northern America. There's an english nationalist group that tried to have one of the main thinkers behind the remigration movement come to the UK to do a speech and he was barred from entering the country

But it's interesting that Trump is using hard-right language. Posting it here because it relates to earlier chat but also to Reform and Farage. If Trump changes the zeitgeist so people believe that migration is a legitimate thing then it could help us over here.

At the moment, no one believes remigration is possible. If they believe it is possible, that is a massive step.

Remigration is possible if wars are banned and we quit the ECHR, NATO etc.

If the message is 'come to the UK illegally, and you'll be sent to Russia or the USA' and also 'anybody funding this will join them' then the problem will vanish within months.

Any position that further pisses off Muslims is optimal, since it'll have them be more estranged from the mainstream parties and force them to sequester into their own, which whilst gives them more direct political influence for their own interests, will just incense people who aren't them.

Labour (or Kier at least) will support America's position, which is Israel's, and considering we also evacuated our diplomats from Iran too our government knew these strikes were about to occur as well. The Iranians made it clear that Israel struct first which'll be the moral impetus many people will take to condemn these attacks (the flip-flopping of opposing Russia for the same thing but supporting Israel in doing so will just make the government look inconsistent) and since Pakistan has friendly relations with Iran, many of their people here will be obliged from both a pro-Muslim/anti-Israel viewpoint to support Iran, but also geopolitical reasons too.

Depends on how hot things get. If it's just a nothing burger like True Promise II, or the recent Pakistan-India scuffle, we may get a smaller reaction, but if it's actually something larger in scale then maybe we'll actually see something worth getting cosy over. Otherwise I'd err on the side of "nothing ever happens".

Did anyone see Darren Jones getting called out on Question Time because he wrongly claimed that most of the vermin in small boats are women in children?

If government ministers are getting heckled and called out as liars on the BBCs flagship political propaganda show perhaps the wheels are coming off the narrative a little bit.

I don't think Russia wants them. And if you mean to fight in a war then kinder to just execute them to begin with as the effect would be the same. Russia has munched through legions of hardened NATO-backed Ukrainian troops (and Kiev is now reduced to dragging conscripts to the front in locked vans), I don't think some terrified immigrants are going to do anything much. Would be like throwing ripe tomatoes at a wall.

Yep. Didn't go great for him. The governments own figures are that 70% of "irregular migration" (what a phrase!) are males 18 and over.

 

[Zoot]

We don’t need to buy a whole theory and use it, we need to rule and government with the following question in mind:
- is this rule, law, policy or action the best for the people and the land, short, mid and long term?

I am sick of being ruled by people who hate me. I hate them right back.

I completely agree with everything you said. Picked out the two parts that jumped out the most at me. And with what yo say about bearing the question in mind, each thing that we adopt because it meets the rule, it should be seen as a stepping stone. Once we have that in place what is the next step.

If government ministers are getting heckled and called out as liars on the BBCs flagship political propaganda show perhaps the wheels are coming off the narrative a little bit.

I think here is where the extra freedom of speech on social media platforms like twitter and especially Facebook for the boomers. Boomers around me are all aware that it's young men. I've heard more than one say "It's yound me of fighting age." They get all this from their facebook scrolling of what people live near the immigrant hotels are seeing, and then they share it around. The boomer facebook intelligence network is powerful.

I saw that Katie Hopkins was on YT reporting from NI. I bet clips from will be all over facebook. On that note, I wonder how important the proddies and Catholics working together on this will be. Because that is really what needs to happen. The war factions of white people on the british isles need to put aside old grievances. I mean if the proddies and catholics can work together in NI, and if they then start communicating with the folks in Manchester. Well something organic starts to happen then.

Iran are mulsim, the lefties love the muzzie cock. They will support Iran and Palestine because Iran is protecting its boarders, which is fine if you're a muzzie.

I want them to chimp out big time and finally have the security services come down on their arses like you just know they could if they really wanted to.

The most rabidly anti irARYANian people I've met have all been brown mudslims from neighbouring countries, I dunno if they have the unity potential.

I don't think it's comparable. Russia is a supposed great power that got bogged down in an attempt to acquire territory and pacify a much weaker border state. Israel and Iran are peer powers with a long history of back-and-forth attacks that are functionally just the extreme end of their diplomatic interactions. They argue a lot. Occasionally, one or the other launches a military strike. They'll be back to lobbing threats and letters at one another in a couple of months.

Muslims hate three countries, the most hated first; Israel, USA and Saudi Arabia. They see both the yanks and the saudis as jewish owned and hate that SA own the migration to the Haaj.
I've never met a Muslim who didn't sperg about how bad the jews are when they know you're chill. Just tell them you think America is the world's greatest evil and watch them tell you a lot about a lot.

TL;DR - Muslims will side with muslim country over jewish, jewish-lite or jewish-owned countries.

Yeah I thought that I was bit homophobic, till I let it slip at work I'm not a fan of the old bumming, and all of a sudden Abdul couldn't shut up about how they'd all burn on earth before they burn in hell and how he fucking hates 'em.

I dunno man, they really don't like the majoos.

Yeah but there's few who bother to take context and circumstance into consideration. People were comparing Europe's lack of intervention in the Ukraine-Russia as being akin to Chamberlain and Hitler and we should go in now to defend them, not considering M.A.D (I can find articles of this) so it's not improbable they won't make such a comparison, especially if they can use it to fellate Palestine some more. The thing I said in parenthesis was just how the British government's stance on the attack might be viewed by those who oppose Israel.

I dunno man, they really don't like the majoos.

The middle East don't (Shia/Sunni split aside), but Pakistan does. Even outside of religious unity obligations, Pakistan and Iran are friendly diplomatically, and this is unusual since not many other Muslim states are. Pakistan usually serves as mediator between Iran and the rest of the Sunni world because of their odd disposition. That's not to say Muslims in general dislike Iran, it's more specifically Pakistan (and possibly the Pakis themselves) like Iran. Again, this is unusual.

This can be to the British benefit since the Pakis here might get extra uppity that about the government remain silent or even supportive of Israel's strikes instead of parroting the "Article 51!" that the other Muslim states are doing currently.

I'm not sure if we'll see anything beyond some protests though. I was inclined to think the Pakistan-India thing would cause a larger reaction but we got zilch. We'll just have to wait and see.

My honest view is this: Anyone in this country who is protesting or openly supporting a foreign war, should be immediately deported to that foreign country. If they're advocating for British citizens to fight in that war, said protester should be black-bagged, vanned, forcibly dressed in a Nato-approved camo-uniform (CS-95 equivalent) and thrown out the back of a RAF Hercules over that war zone, while the herc is flying a banner that says:

"Fuck off and fight your own war".

What if I'm openly supporting both sides in a foreign war? Israel Vs Iran ending as a score draw after extra time would please me greatly.
