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.

Mate, I'm a senior college lecturer and I have to play along with pronouns and wokeshit just to keep a roof above my head. Probs the same for this poor lass who got assaulted by a cowardly nigger.

Yes, that was covered by the rest of my post that you cut out for some reason.

Mate, I'm a senior college lecturer

How many fucking times do I have to tell you retards.

ENFORCE OPERATIONAL SECURITY.

You know what, I'll bite. Lets see if I can narrow this fucker down.

Other than that I recently quit, but had been doing it daily for about 10 years and never had any sort of reaction like that. I've been able to save tens of thousands of pounds and was able to put it towards a house deposit on a home in London.

A senior college lecturer in London

Reminds me of the time the coroners office told me to take a picture off instagram that my mate took of me in the courtroom bathrooms and I just ignored it (UK). Why do British authorities think they can control what other people share on the internet.

So implying a potential criminal record.

You joined here two months ago, fully aware that the UK has banned access to sites like these and you've already powerleveled enough to be significantly narrowed down. If you don't start taking operational security seriously someone will be able to get your address after another few months of posting.

I can forgive the "I used to be [profession]" folk as they give an insight without narrowing themselves down that much, but exposing your CURRENT FUCKING JOB is lunacy.

 

[Tony Martin's Force Ghost]

I used to not mind bake off, but now every time I watch it, it's just one random MILF in training, a middle aged jeet, and an older immigrant nana type that get all the focus. Oh and the obligatory homo. I actually like cooking, and baking and Bake Off is farcical.

See, I gave up after the blatant Nadia Hussain psy op. She was the shittest baker the entire season, and if I recall correctl,y one of the best bakers that season made ONE ERROR and that was their cake fell off the counter but was servable. This was the 5th round too, so early in and Nadia got star baker and they went. It was rigged as fuck! Her cakes are shit too, look at this shit;



It's not even fucking level!

They already can. You find the senior lecturer with a criminal record in London and then start going through their instagram pages until you find one with a court room picture.

Posting history here includes Mum's net and liking women standing up for themselves/supporting female cops. Calling someone a cow is mostly done by seniors and almost always women. Most likely it's a woman which narrows it down even more. Has a history of shop lifting, so criminal charges are probably related to that. Decided to stop doing it after 10 years. Which means the conviction was somewhat recent. Was stealing from a Co Op and had staff try to stop them leaving so maybe look for news stories about a woman being done for shop lifting from a Co Op in London. She's stealing high end food (salmon) which implies middle class dinner party type.

Talks about 'our kid' with a partner. So probably has a child or is pregnant. Possibly with a woman partner? But could be London speak for husband.

Senior lecturer with a criminal record for shoplifting. Middle age, maybe close to retirement age. Lives in London with partner and maybe one kid. How many of those do you think there are?

Spoons is pretty crap

The quality of spoons is highly variable. My local does a decent steak, with a tolerable pepper sauce, and doesn't have sticky floors. I take my dad there every few weeks. The next over is absolute shite.

We already had someone stab an MP. Her husband is now part of one of those traitorous NGOs (hope not hate) that act like the provisional wing of the woke ideology.

And her sister is attached to Starmer's hip like a remora.

TIL Manchester has a bazaar.

Eh, that's just a flea market with a multiculti veneer on top. It's all about attracting attention.

Good. Now can bake off be next please? fucking hate cooking shows.

but the buttery biscuit base!

Nadiya Hussain molested me behind the scenes of Great British Bakeoff and all the hosts knew. He also has a penis.

why do I feel guilty about wanting to put up the national flag in my front garden? I just feel someone would complain and call it fucking racist, jesus christ.

Not a lecturer or in London. I substituted those details for the purpose of opsec. It wasn't even a co-op I was apprehended in and nor do I have a criminal record. Any detail I post about myself here is intentionally altered for the sake of anonymity. My own instagram doesn't even have a name attached to it.

Let me know when you've found me. (And the court selfie, whose bathroom it was taken in is indistinguishable from the bathroom of any other establishment).

Having a career and owning a home are mundane and ordinary life achievements and wouldn't normally be considered 'powerleveling' to most people, those details were offered because they were pertinent to the point I was making.

 

[Kofi Drinka]

No one is trying to dox you here. We're pointing out how bad your opsec is and saying it's not true makes it look even more true.

You confirmed you're a woman. Women are bad at opsec because they like talking about themselves way too much. You told us to be looking for a selfie now. So we have more to go on.

Only Londoners would be stealing salmon unless it's a drug addict looking to steal meat to sell on. Salmon is not the kind of food normal people steal, but it's what bored women in London or poorer middle class women starting to struggle to have the Nigella Lawson life style do when the purse strings get tighter. London and lecturer makes too much sense with the way you post. Gloating about a house in London isn't something you would do for opsec. It's something you would do to gloat about owning an expensive house which fits your posts. Opsec would be saying you got a house in Manchester or Liverpool, London stands out too much as the place everyone hates if they're not from it, so only a Londoner would say they bought a house there.

Your real name doesn't need to be attached to your Instagram. If you made an account with an e-mail in a data leak it can be linked back to you through other accounts. Look at some of the community feature dox posts and see how these happen. It's not googling your name and hoping for a hit. It's finding a username, password or e-mail and following them through leaks and public avenues.

Instead of digging yourself deeper and tempting someone to dox you, drop the account and make a new one in a few days. Don't stand up for the police and don't tell people you go along with woke shit.

Once I cross reference the coffee-drinker list, wrestler register and the sex offender database and find your name on all three, I'll turn up at your doorstep.

He has a point in that're filtration points which narrow it down massively, gender + child status + location + other stuff makes BIG NUMBER into a VERY SMALL NUMBER fast, and makes other little mundane details key clues. One lovable based retard ITT literally doxxed himself to within >100 people by mentioning twater blocklists for instance, you're not the worst, just be mindful and accept that TMI is TMI and don't be so needlessly specific.

Instead of digging yourself deeper and tempting someone to dox you, drop the account and make a new one in a few days.

There's no need to go that far; they're only breadcrumbs.

Like I've said before I'm a county doxxxing idiot myself, but nothing I say here (or anywhere else really) can't be held off by the good old "it wasn't me" defence, plausible deniability are the magic words here. Look all the poor fools who get jailed for racism posting on social media and the like; they always do it in their own names on accounts with their literal faces plastered on, and thanks to our bullshit laws the piggus jobs are already done for them, they'll never actually put any work into it for anything less than Actual Terrorism IMO, we have little to worry about .
The glowies can and will get you by better means than your own TMIposting anyway.

Don't stand up for the police and don't tell people you go along with woke shit.

N'wah stop trying to scare people off just because you disagree with them it's cringe and gay.

 

[Sir Baz the Intolerant]

Let me know when you've found me. (And the court selfie, whose bathroom it was taken in is indistinguishable from the bathroom of any other establishment).

I say this as someone who genuinely has your best interests at heart, but it's very apparent from this statement alone that you may not fully understand where you are or in whose company you're in. Some lolcows have had their locations leaked from things as minute as cross referencing damaged furniture in the background of a kitchen, or in the orientation of windows in a motel room, some people here really are that autistic.

And while this thread is relatively chill in comparison to most, and the poster's here probably won't dox you, there are absolutely people on this site that will. You're probably a mumsnet terf judging by your post history so you should know that a lot of trannies keep tabs on this site with secret accounts, and being a woman with a lot to lose (house, career etc.) you would be a significant target for them should they spot you. There is also a culture here of users doxing each other, either for the fun of it or as a way to teach people hard lessons about opsec, so much so there's even an entire thread for it and trust me when I say that trying to gamify your own dox is a great way to get yourself featured there.

At the end of the day you're an adult and can make your own decisions, so please don't take what I say here as hostility towards you. But that notice you got when you registered your account about this being the point of no return wasn't put up there by Null for shits and giggles. The amount of info you've posted already might not be enough to find you, but you're very much a newfag and if you keep dropping identifiable info at the rate you're going, then within a year or two all those breadcrumbs will eventually lead somewhere.

Just remember you live in a country with a busy body government that actively hates you, and that's also infested with unemployed psychotic tranny freaks with all the time in the world to find people like you and punish you for not acquiescing to their sexual degeneracy. Be mindful is all I'm saying.

 

[Tony Martin's Force Ghost]

As for Wetherspoons, their steak is their best part, and due to their restrictive staffing, at least they will be Banter Police-free.

I was going to say something sassy about the "wife's son," but that is incredibly gauche.

 

[prayforpills]

I can accept that you're telling me this in good faith, but the details I've shared about myself here are 100% substituted. I really don't live in London and I'm not a lecturer. I know what I'm doing. All that would happen is some troon would find and ruin the life of an innocent man or woman.
