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.

My concern, which I've aired here a few times, is that they're not and that these pillocks will go rogue.

They've already stated on the socials that they'll get what they want 'by any means'.

That can and probably does mean extreme violence.

Thankfully they vast majority of them simply don't have it in them IMO, the rhetoric remains concerning however, normalization of blatant jewhate under the cover of "anti-zionism" and the like is gonna continue and it'll bring out the Gavrilo Princip types sooner or later.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Spot on but to add on to the sentiment; l**ds is the gayshit capital of the UK, it's very much our version of LA with all the corrupting influences omnipresent there, and it's an utter magnet for Everything We Don't Like for... some reason.
Manchester has the likes of cAnal street and the malignant influence of le bbc, Birmingtsan is browned, l**ds? All that and more, it's some leyline nexus shit and I'm not sure why.

Leeds isn't the gay shit capital of england, but the West and South Yorkshire police are the wokest, most unhinged retarded police force in Europe.

At this point I'd welcome the plaster being ripped off, and Felicity and Jonty being presented with the reality of their actions. Either nut up and take up arms, or fuck off back to mummy and daddy's house and using your degree in Art History to make particularly intricate designs on the top of coffees at your barista job.

Leeds isn't the gay shit capital of england

Hard because nowhere is gayer than l**ds, nowhere has a greater concentration of knob gobbling homos, it's not just the uni dropouts who stick around cause mummy doesn't appreciate them wanting to lop their cock off and wear dresses; it's a migration location for faggots from all over the place, it's the queer version of what happened to Detroit demographically speaking.

Rachel Reeves says she cannot rule out autumn tax rises after ‘damaging’ week​

In principal, tax rises happen to keep a country ticking over and to ensure services run. No problem there.
However, my tax money (lol) isn't even keeping tarmac on the fucking roads, so why are these price rises coming?

How about not spending £5 billion a year on illegal niggers and £15 billion a year on immigrants claiming benefits.

Why are you blanking out the name like an american faggot does with british? Hide your autism.
Leeds is globohomo brownoid london-lite, but it isn't the gayest place in england. Maybe you got gang raped by niggers there which has understandably skewed your views, but there are much, much more gayer places than Leeds.

I suppose you'd know mr slavshithole extraordinaire what with all the "holy icon" worshipping and all, in terms of sheer quantity of gyrating faggot mass l**ds still wins.

I saw a couple doing coke off a fucking wheelie bin when I were walking home the other night.

Not to disparage what you guys are going through, it's horrifying and deserves extreme countermeasures the likes of which we haven't seen in our lifetime.

But the fact that seeing this in a city is shocking to you is an indicator of how good you had it beforehand compared to the USA. This wouldn't even make people turn their heads in the unholy trinity of Chicago LA or NY, even 30 years ago this wouldn't have been shocking.

I mean this optimistically, I've always felt Euros have higher standards for societal norms and you seem to be waking up to this way sooner in the process than we did. I'm rooting for you whatever that does.

In my slavshithole I pay £20 a year council tax, £50 a year road tax.

Leeds may be overrun with faggots now, I'll take your word for it. I haven't been in 10+ years.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

Leeds is the gayest place where the average Brit has ventured out of their own free will. Brighton and Blackpool are even gayer but I wouldn't subject my worst enemy to a trip there.

Ha ha ha imagine actually paying taxes.

... Yeah it is, you wouldn't know what with being expatted for 10 FUCKING YEARS now would you, you silly bugger.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Ha ha ha imagine actually paying taxes.

I'm working on it, but at the same time, I like this country, I don't mind paying to support it, until it gets filled with niggers.

... Yeah it is, you wouldn't know what with being expatted for 10 FUCKING YEARS now would you, you silly bugger.

Very true. Sometimes I forget what year it is.

Went into Leeds recently and yes it is just full of faggots and now a fucking ton of blacks and browns, you spend most of your time getting hassled by them for money or ran over by a Deliveroo driver. Must just be the spill over from Brapford.

Leeds also has a weirdly high amount of chinks in it, all who seem to have a lot of money so my guess commie trust fund babies on a gap year (studying).

Six key members of one of Britain's worst grooming gangs released from prison early:

This is getting buried under the Leeds slap fight.

Why are they being released early? Why do we sentence people to prison time then let them out after 6 months? What's the punishment for torturing and raping children? 3 months in a Muslim prison and a slap on the wrist? Fucking disgusting.

I think not having Leafs as part of your country could be considered a win. If Trump wants to make them a territory though, that might be fine. They don't get to be a state.

Because our prisons are full and they want to empty them as soon as possible.

Also the UK government and it's establishments are full of Muslim loving nonces so by letting out these Pakis early they are not only fucking more kids but also fucking the native British people by forcing them to have to deal with these people.

Sentenced in 2018 for 7-12 years. One was close to being released outright and the rest have served over half their sentence. They'll be sent back for breaking the rules of what is essentially probation. If this were done in current year they probably would've got life, but in 2018, right-censorship, fretting over Nazis and the "far-right", and the relative lack of publicity these sentencings got (Tommy Robinson got more focus during this time) might've contributed to such a light sentencing.

Sentencing guidelines:

Average sentencing guidelines for rape in the UK​

It’s difficult to offer an estimated timeline of the sentencing for rape because each case is unique, with various details impacting sentencing. On average, the prison sentence for rape is between 4 and 19 years, but it will vary from case to case.

Minimum sentence for rape UK​

In the UK, there is no statutory minimum sentence for rape. Generally, sentencing for rape convictions starts from 4 years imprisonment. This sentence would only be given for category 3 offences and it is also very rare to receive such a short sentence, given that the majority of rape convictions also include some degree of harm or culpability.

Maximum sentence for rape UK​

The maximum sentence for rape is life imprisonment. However, when using the term ‘sentenced for life’, it does not mean that someone will spend their whole life in prison. Instead, someone who is given a life sentence usually spends 15 years in prison. In these cases, the offenders will spend the rest of their lives on a life licence. This means they would immediately be called back to prison if they were to commit another crime.

What factors affect the sentence for rape?​

When the Court is determining the sentence for rape offences, they take into consideration two main aspects; the harm caused to the victim and the culpability of the defendant.

 

[Kofi Drinka]

There is only 1 suitable setence for raping kids.

Death.

Can someone with Reform's ear please tell them to unban the Oxo Mum? She was great and a fine example of what a woman should be. They made it illegal to show women being motherly and we lost that wonderful woman. For the health of the nation our stock cube mother must return to the telly!

It’s not just the gay. Brighton’s gayer and so is Bristol. It’s some kind of weird nexus of nastiness.
- mermaids
-mesmac
-saville
-WYP/ripper
-various Tavistock aligned psych units (why don’t we have a Tavistock thread yet?)
-prostitution tolerance zone trials
And more! There’s something really rotten in Leeds, like it’s some kind of outpost of hades
