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.

"Trans woman gets convicted of sexual assault for not disclosing to partner "gender status".

"Watkin, from Stockton-on-Tees in northeast England, had admitted lying but her lawyers told her trial that it would have been “blindingly obvious” to the man that she was not biologically female, the BBC said."

So, the TL;dr on this. tranny take guy out on a date, doesn't tell guy, gets charged and convixted of sexual assault, and even tries to use the excuse of "blindingly obvious" she was trans.

my sides the troon had to admit she looked like a man as a defense

Plus, in these hotels, cholera and typhoid are apparently rife.

These only have to merge with the plague (which is back upon these shores) and we'll have a worse virus than Covid 19 which will actually wipe out a large amount of people.

Cholera is a bacterial infection and so is typhoid.
BUT, you are not wrong with the idea that they are bringing diseases in and spreading them. Britain has pretty much eradicated TB, and now due to migration, parts of London have TB rates higher than African war zones. Lots of multi drug resistant strains too.
And all those articles about measles and slamming white middle class mums for not vaccinating? Well again, measles was almost eradicated in Britain until mass migration. Scarlet fever is making a comeback as well.
A school near me had a TB case and needed to be deep cleaned fully - it puts us all at risk.
Remember also that some of these hotels are using the kitchen to make takeout, who h is then being handled and delivered by these men. It’s a huge public health risk.
Apparently I’m told that there have been multiple outbreaks of E. coli from migrants arriving in food trucks and shitting on the produce.
They are bioweapons and should be treated accordingly

What a few years of being proven consistently right do to a man.

We all remember you telling us about your Muslim friends and your gay pride parades dear. No need to remind me you're a faggot and privated your profile to hide from the thread noticing.

Looks like your average council estate girl. Can't even say he had a mustache because most of them do.

He's still alive? Wasn't he part of gamergate or some men's rights thing?

Can we have the death penalty for entering the country illegally? It's such an easy fix.

A few of the older content creator types from that era are bubbling back to the surface. Molyneux of all people is back; which is especially weird.

Never miss a good chance to grift I guess.

In the strange world of politics, weird crossovers sometimes happen like when Malcolm X visited Smethwick or when Ed Balls danced on TV for a few weeks:

Surreal.

Farage maybe being supported by Trump. Despite them falling out, why would Trump ever pick Starmer over Farage?

Reminds me of the story of the Ukrainian guy who was killed by Ukrainian forces when they found out that he had both a Ukrainian and Russian flag in his home that he would pull out whenever each of those respective forces came nearby. He accidentally pulled out the wrong flag one time and that ended his story.

(Fair warning, I haven't found any proof of this story, so it may be fictional, but the point stands)

That's just smart thinking. Might just order a rainbow flag too now just in the Labour cattle win the civil war. Maybe a Koran too to really hedge my bets, inshallah.

This is stupid. If you're in a war zone leave or don't fly any flags and stay as neutral as possible. In our case it's the skin colour that matters so any flags will be meaningless. Middle class women thinking if they show they own a Koran they will be safe will just be raped and butchered.

How do you grow your business when money doesn't exist any more? How can you be trillions in debt and still have a positive economic rating? What's the long term plan to pay off that much money? It's impossible.

Imagine how much the important line (GDP per capita) would go up if we shipped 10 million useless eaters back to the third world shitholes they came from.

Sounds like Hotel Sahara, 1951. I think there might also be something like it in the bible. It wouldn't surprise me if the first ever attempt at disguise was a monkey pretending to be from the wrong troupe and getting eaten.

How do you grow your business when money doesn't exist any more? How can you be trillions in debt and still have a positive economic rating? What's the long term plan to pay off that much money? It's impossible.

From my understanding — which is relatively basic when it comes to economics and Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), as I have not studied it in depth — the whole idea is that the debt will never be paid back and that it's largely symbolic more than anything else. Government isn't a household and as the issuer of currency they can never go bankrupt on their obligations, as they control the medium of exchange which their obligation is bound to. The metric which is important to the strength of the currency is the ratio of GDP to debt and it is a given that debt will always grow through interest. As such, the current system is hedging on assets always increasing at a greater rate or similar rate to debt. However, debt isn't necessarily a bad thing, as credits must always equal debits, meaning that whenever the Government takes on debt for a project, the money spent will be circulating in the economy.

Moreover, don't fall the government meme that they collect taxes to spend on projects, as that simply isn't true. Taxes collected are removed from the economy entirely and whenever the Government approves spending they simply create it out of thin air. Overall the current economic system is wildly complicated and isn't particularly easy to understand — I have no shame in admitting I really don't fully understand it — but people that are smarter than me say it works, so I'm willing to take their word for it.

If you want to know more I've heard that this book goes quite in depth on the topic — I'm still due to read it, but my reading list is a little full at the moment.

There was, one had to say "Shibboleth" with the right accent. Would love to have a time camera and view the origins of primate deception. Well, I'd love for someone else to watch it and post the most amusing bits.

Old women are the unsung drivers of mass movements. They can work wonders, as long as they don't turn into a white feather-style movement.

Did you get it up for them?

Suitable name for the author, given the impenetrable nature of the field.

I hope they were heading off to a Greggs to get kicked out of it.
