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.

tbh, I hope it is his. I have some twat family member who worship the ground he walks on.

fuck, if he was doing it all round the world and the BBC covered it up...

It's like the priest scandals also involved many girl victims, but you never hear about it, because men don't care and want to make it a male on male homosexuals only problem.

no, it's because 90% of the victims were boys

Attinbrough being a nonce would be groundbreaking because of how he's curated his image over the past 30 years based on wildlife and ecosystem documentaries. Not only would it be an excellent cover as he could frame his accusers as global warming sceptics, but it'd allow him to do the very thing Saville did and have access to a lot of vulnerable adults to prey on.

But I get the feeling if it WAS him then the BBC is completely over, Saville and Edwards are bad enough, but when you hear the rumours of Matt Lucas, David Walliams, David Jason etc. not even including the possibility of a new person like Attinbrough then it's clear that there's a very big problem bubbling from within. Institutional paedophilia from a service that bullies you to pay for the TV licence and demands that you pay it if you're streaming Netflix.

[NoIdeaWhatImDoing]

This description is almost identical to the one in Baby Reindeer, it makes me wonder if the producer in that was supposed to be Lucas or Walliams.

it's already known who that guy is, it's allegedly the producer of Vicious

Considering they're losing their anti-immigrant voters to Reform, any minority glazing might be a move to shore up what they've already got and deter minorities from flocking to independents like they did in the last GE by proving Labour aren't going to pivot to being anti-immigrant now, because this isn't going to bring the voters who went Reform back into the fold. I really hope the local elections they delayed to next year end up yielding worse results for them than if they were to just let them go ahead.

 

[Kofi Drinka]

The way you put it, I'm thinking either Attenborough (institutional weight), or god willing David Tenant, who had a media blitz about his "controversial secrets" last year, designed to bury any attempt to search up on him behind pages of "David Tenant has an extra toe!" Granted, Tenant is not old guard as such, but I nevertheless cannot wait to see his smug mug ground into the dirt for a bunch of reasons. Even though I thought he was great in Good Omens, he's still a smarmy cunt.

Any one who worked on Doctor Who during the RTD run is suspect. Christopher Ecescake holds a grudge for a good reason. If Tenant stepped into that environment and thought it was normal then he's on the grooming watch list too. He would be protected because Disney see Tumblr Doctor Who as a viable product and that means Tenant and Piper have to be used. If he got done for being a nonce and diddling his own kid (tranny) it would torpedo the Doctor Who revival they keep failing to make work while Disney pays

Not unexpected, but yes a little bit of a kick in the teeth.

To clarify, I'm on the side of peace - I don't want war in Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, Wales or anywhere... it's gay as fuck and a waste of time, money and human lives.

However, Farage will have to fall in to some form of lockstep with Trump if the 'special relationship' is to survive, and maybe an axis of UK, USA, Israel, Russia and China is better than Canada and all the Shittystans. Maybe this is a test ahead of a possible Farage/Trump run Western World?

I'll admit, I'm far from happy, but I can see the flip-side and do I think it will affect Reform UK's polling? No - I would even say we've now got the Jewish and even partly the Gay vote (I was contacted by one of the main central organisers for PRIDE who mentioned that the pro-Palestine protestors intend to attack any LGBTQWERTY who participates in PRIDE because CHASE Bank now sponsors them (and the Welsh Football Team) and no surprises... they're Jewish!)

My only hope is that this attack will be it - my fear is that idiots who back Palestine/Iran/the current thing will strike back and we'll see bomb threats etc. against individuals, banks, shopping centres, even media premises this Summer.

Give peace a chance.

It's absolutely riddled with noncery, but it's a hidden cadre within the institution, rather than the entire thing. They induct members into their secret groups with the promise of greater institutional power and wealth, and all the boipussy they desire, under the requirement of having to keep it all secret and protect one another from outsiders, lest they be outed and destroyed. The wider institution, parasitised as it is, acts in their interests without necessarily understanding its own actions, because they have pull within it.

Not unexpected, but yes a little bit of a kick in the teeth.

All Farage had to do was not frame it in terms of "protect israel". I'm not exactly shy of preferring to support Israel over the arabs in any given situation (frankly, the arabs deserve every dicking they get), but if I were in Farage's shoes I wouldn't have taken that sort of stance. Instead, I'd frame it purely in terms of national self-interest. Something like this: Iran cannot have access to nukes, because it would directly threaten our national security. The middle east and the wider western Islamic sphere have been the source of actual, existential threats to Great Britain for centuries, from slave raids in the 15th century, to terrorist attacks in the 21st, and it's imperative that we mitigate these threats however we can. Iran represents such a threat.

No need to glaze Israel or "stand by" any dubious "allies". It's purely about the protection and security of the British Isles and would fit neatly into a policy of focusing first on the needs of Great Britain over anything foreign. You could even, a-la Lowe, roll it into an urgent policy of expulsion of potential terrorists and their ideological compatriots, as well as a more general policy of repatriation of anyone from those areas as a matter of national security.

Frankly I hope it is Attenborough, because despite the fact I've enjoyed (some of) his work in the past, the kind of people who worship the ground he walks on tend to have been some of the most insufferable faggots I've ever met in my life. I want their worldview shattered into a million pieces, turned into a smoking ruin, and rendered down to its constituent atoms so I can laugh, and drink their tears when their Christ-like idol figure turns out to be a big sweaty nonce.

You know, the kind of people who say "yass" and think Cards Against Humanity is actually funny. Its always those sort of people, in my experience.

Me too, damn.
BBC even wrote an article on it.

Despite the photo going everywhere, Jemima's not ashamed and said she finds it "quite funny".

The picture has been seen by her mum and dad. She says they told her: "It's not the way we wanted you to become famous."

Jemima works at the club Pryzm where the picture was taken. She says she enjoyed meeting Paul and Barry Chuckle.

"They did their 'To Me, To You' thing and then I had the photo done.

"I didn't notice originally. If I had I'd have asked them to delete it."

Jemima says she can laugh at herself and says that the photo is pretty "epic".

Since the photo went viral she also says she's had about 350 random friend requests on Facebook and follower requests on Instagram.

Paul Chuckle has acknowledged the photo with a tweet that simply says "oh dear oh dear".

Reputation: preserved.

I think you are right about polling not being affected. I had a look at Ed Davey's Twitter. he's saying the same in lockstep shit. and his followers are losing their shit at him. So there's no where to go.

But it really does show who is really in charge when no one speaks against it despite it probably being good for them.

You could even, a-la Lowe

I thought he handled it masterfully. Didn't take sides but simply focused on a popular cause resulting from it.

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

Cards against Humanity is funny for the average Clyde 23, from Burton because it's the only time in their life they can actually say the things they want to say, but can't because of the social stigma. "Hehe, I've said brown people are the scourge of humanity" etc.

It's just shockingly vanilla to people who have did their time on the early 00s internet where absolutely anything went, or people who have zero issues saying the things they want to say without fear of social stigma.

The average quip on here is funnier than the absolute peak that comes from a game of Cards against Humanity.

If you want money in politics you lick Israel's balls and say it tastes like honey. Farage has a history of Jewish backers and he will do as he's told.

I knew the daughter of a BBC producer growing up. She was pimped out to musicians and other celebrities when it was convenient. Kids told they're going to meet a big pop star and ends up seduced and used by them. The BBC secret group isn't secret to any one within the industry. It's as easy to get child prostitutes as cocaine when you have a handler.

What we need to ask is what does Israel/Netanyahu have over Trump/USA and Starmer/UK?
