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.

Lads/Ladesses, I'm trying to find the details about the (frankly fckn brilliant) website that one of you mentioned setting up about how you can tell where the migrant hotels are in your area?

I was telling my friends and family about it, but I suddenly realised I couldn't recall the name of it (probably due to my middle-aged, delicate little Ladybrain).

Please could one of my lovely Kiwifrens give me a gentle nudge in it's direction? Also, do we know if they would be wanting people to donate or sponsor to help it grow?

Thankyou

This is the one. Though I think there will be mirrors of it going up soon.

If you scroll down there is a contact form on there to get in touch and they don't care if you give false credentials either.

This is the function of intersectionality. It always allows you to shift blame along the most convenient axis. Bearded durka savages are raping English girls? Well, we examine the various intersections and apply an intersectional calculus to find who gets the blame. Muslims and brownoids are are favored group, men are a disfavored group. Therefore, you apply the calculus and shift the blame along the gender axis and away from the racial and religious axis.

Thus it isnt a racial or religious thing, its a Patriarchy thing. And because in intersectionality there is an intersection between patriarchy and so-called 'white supremacy' you can then position the issue there. Thus, using the calculus, brownoid muslims emulating thier prophet by raping english girls is actually the fault of non-muslim white males.

More Tik Tok Brian rot. Found this because black Americans and black over here are fighting.
This is black American (Heirs of Great Britain username: Alaskan whiskey)

He’s says an aboriginal Scottish people and the Jacobites were black and the original people of Scotland. White people were the invaders apparently, of course. He’s also confused because that is the worst Irish accent I’ve heard in my life. He claims Jacobite actually meant the sons of Jacob biblically. And we kicked out the “original copper toned skin original Scots” during the rebellion. Honestly any FBA account is hilarious but they usually keep it to “we were the original native Americans” so this one is a real laugh.
Here’s the original video of him speaking yank before his fake accent. Had to pull it from other girl because he’s gone deleting.

And here’s a few of his videos. He just posts random genealogy usually from the 1500s of dukes and kings that apparently proves his original Scot or whatever. Anything but Africa lol.

This one ties into my own favourite personal conspiracy theory.

Post in thread 'What conspiracy theories do you believe in?'

Jan 1, 2025

There is a growing, increasingly coordinated effort to craft and propagate a narrative that white Europeans are not the native population of Europe, but are in fact usurpers who replaced the "original" black and/or muslim population of the continent.

It started out as a crackpot fringe theory, lifted from the nation of islam stories about yakub creating white people in a cave and misunderstandings over the spread of the indo-european languages, or bizarre claims that "violent and warlike" caucasus steppe nomads replaced an extant "peaceful matriarchal society" in central europe. Over the...

We're already at the point where the media regularly portrays important historical figures as black, partly for ragebait, but also to normalise the image of blacks in historical settings. There are books now published that unironically claim the original Brythonic peoples were black. Now we're at the point of people in the public fringe making these claims. They're mocked now, but just you watch that mockery be deflected by people crying about racism and the idea that "we're all from everywhere" and "we don't actually know what colour they were", meaning we should accept his beliefs are valid, even if not currently taken as true.

This one ties into my own favourite personal conspiracy theory.

I just call it what it is - cultural terraforming.

You can't have the level of demographic replacement that is happening right now and not rewrite history if you want to be left with something that functions into the future. Non-Whites have always been extreme outliers when it comes to the events that shaped our history and formed our culture. They've either been lost in the noise or just existed on the periphery because they just weren't that important, if they existed at all.

Imagine that the trajectory we're on currently remains unchanged for a hundred years. White people become a minority in their own homelands. Even if you ignore the inevitable and we're allowed to co-exist alongside non-Whites, the established narrative has to be changed for any semblance of order to be maintained.

Keep that imagination running, as we're going to stretch the bounds of credulity a little more. How do you think little N'gubu would feel (even if he did have breakfast) when he sat in his history class and realised that his people played absolutely zero part in the formation of his nation? Even in the most basic of civilisations there has to be a sense of continuum for there to be any kind of social cohesion. It doesn't matter whether its racial, cultural or religious. You cannot create a national identity out of thin air. When little N'gubu goes home to watch the TV and sees that all of the people that created the very foundation of his existence were White, there is going to be nothing but resentment, detachment and no incentive for him.

This is why they have to make it up. This is why you see niggers making outlandish claims about Mozart being black, or "scientists" creating Cheddar Man (the modern day version of Piltdown Man). They have nothing, they are nothing and so they have to inject themselves into the narrative or, more likely, subversive elements of society have to do it for them (thanks Moishe!) or the great experiment fails.

The government is now urgently seeking 5,000 houses to home 20,000 asylum seekers. They're moving them from hotels or military bases into private accommodation which would essentially mean most of them would likely disappear off the face of the Earth and never to be seen again until they are arrested.

In some ways the hotel thing will just serve to inflame tensions even more. The Government is going to have to put those people somewhere, and it seems more likely than not that they're going to shift them into private housing at the expense of locals and natives. There will be more and more stories, like that one of that single mother being kicked out for Afghanis, of evictions to make room for our swarthy cousins. I don't think the people who wanted them out of hotels had even really considered this angle, but it seems like the most likely outcome to me.

Rock and hard place for Starmer's Government and the Establishment at large in any case. If Bomalians lounging in hotels at the taxpayer's expense was unpopular, I can't imagine kicking people to the street to make room for them in housing will be any more.

Starmer is checkmated.

It's not a question now of IF he goes but WHEN.

I do wonder how it will pan out when he does go. I don't agree with some of the sentiment here that whoever his successor is will call for a General Election. Unless there's mass desertions to Corbyn's Party to the point where they, Reform, and the Tories have enough seats between them to push forward a vote of no confidence, I just don't see it happening from Labour's side. They're going to get swamped in the general whether it's tomorrow or it's 2029, so unless they're forced through desertions it seems unlikely for them give up their "supermajority mandate" or whatever they're calling it now.

Plus loads of MP's and local councillors are Landlords anyway, so they'll probably be liking the Housing Benefit payments.
Win/Win situation for them no matter whowins an election or gets ousted.
"How Much Vaseline Do I Need To Buy" situation for us.

If they don't call one before they return from Liverpool (BTW, locals there are going to protest Starmer and the cronies setting foot in their city) then one will be called after the budget as it is not going to get passed.

A majority is needed to vote the budget through, after which it's then enacted from the next tax year.

Labour MP's saying 'no way, absolutely not and we'll defect' means it will not pass and Starmer and Reeves will then face a VONC. If Starmer believes that before November this is going to happen, he'll have precious little choice but to go to the Palace.

Don't forget that some of the 'deserters' can just stand as Independents as well until the GE.

Starmer's already lost more MP's in one year than Blair did between 2001 and 2005. Even the Iraq war didn't see as many Labour MP's saying 'sod it!'

Mass defections aren't likely before the conference, but the party is openly split and warring about fundamental issues. Up to a third of the party has signalled extreme dissatisfaction with the way things are, to the point more than a few have openly declared willingness to leave, if not actual intent. They'll come from the pro-trans group and those who voted against the benefit reforms. I expect they'll try one last effort to convince Starmer to change course, then there'll be a split and a leadership challenge.

Yes, exactly. And since the primary goal of all of this migration is White Replacement, it serves the purpose much better and thoroughly than the hotel scheme. With private accommodations they can, quite literally, be sent to every village and vale in the country.

I can imagine a vote of no confidence for Starmer, but I don't see Labour actually calling a GE upon itself without mass defections to Corbyn's Party or some other vein of Independent. Why would they call an election that would annihilate them as a party in much the same way as the Tories got thrashed last year? There's a matter of self-preservation for them. Even if most of the Labour MPs expect to lose their seats with or without Starmer, I would imagine they'd like to keep the gravy train going as long as possible.

All the better for the Right, frankly, since Farage and Reform are simply not up to task and it would be better for them to NOT get into power just to neuter and deflate the Right Reaction.
