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.

Aren't you a tiny bit curious as to for how much they sold your ass for?

No, it wont change my mind about them. Judas sold God out for 30 silver, would it have been better if it was 31?

If anyone wants to know, here's who I'm pretty sure is behind the account:

Frankly I think it would be preferable if it was a 77 Brigade nigger posting from GCHQ than that. Truly horrifying stuff.

Most people love bacon. But Moslems disapprove of it. Therefore, Britons can be arrested for saying they like it:

The scenario developed in Cumbria, England, where townsfolk were objecting to yet another Islamic mosque being erected adjacent to their small town. …

Viral footage confirms a man saying, “We love bacon” and being cuffed and arrested.

Alternatively, he might have said, “We want bacon.”

He asks why he’s being arrested and an officer confirms it’s because he mentioned bacon, which under the nation’s Public Order Act of 1986 apparently could be considered “threatening or abusive words or behavior.”

Bacon is part of a traditional British breakfast. All things traditionally British are potentially offensive to Moslems and therefore subject to repression.

If it’s this bad in Britainistan now, imagine the tyranny when Moslems achieve majority status. Pushback will have to ramp up soon, or it will be too late. Step one is to pry Islam’s neoliberal masters from power.

Why else would they write in second person?

She could be from a nation that lacks self awareness and irony. She could be, and may Allah forgive me for saying this, Scottish.

Man the entire crowd should have just started chanting it. What would they do? Looks like a fucking shit building too, more grey boxes of plastic. Only upside is that they're not taking up any nice buildings. As long as you ignore the eyesore on greenbelt land at least. Shit like that's got a couple decades of life in it normally, shit won't last, it'll fall over soon as it's put up, hopefully once anyone using it has fucked off out the country. That'll be a nice clip to send to people though. Honk honk indeed brother.

How about this bacon?

My drive home from work of a morning involves going through several villages. I've seen scores of Union and St George's flags as well as a number of roundabouts with them painted on.

That's right cheered me up. It's been a long ass night.

Edited to say, walking up the road to mine, I've seen a solid dozen. Absolutely fantastic. No sign of anyone from the Council either though I'm sure they'll appear at some point.

Listening to BBC Radio London this morning. Top stories: Tfl planning to clamp down on people playing loud music on speakers on public transport. I've literally never seen a white person do this, but of course no mention of any racial component. They admit that they can't really police it, but they'll put up some posters!

Next story, council to take measures to address "honour based violence". Again, no real mention of who in particular is perpetrating this, or how they'll address it.

Last story, Nigel Farage to lay out Reform's new policy on addressing illegal migration.

Gosh, could there be a connection between these stories? Christ, what a shit hole I've moved to.

I tell you, it was nothing to do with Muslims (this time) and entirely because he offended the police. The pigs don't like people talking about bacon in front of them.

You willingly moved to London,of your own volition? Good Lord. I am so sorry.

I was seconded there for work back in the late aughties and it wasn't great, but it had a great nightlife and I enjoyed my job a great deal. Now, if I have to get the train from Norf FC to Darn Sarf to see my family, I intentionally take a somewhat circuitous route, specifically to avoid going anywhere near London.

I don't get London. I always hear people talking about how they're going to London all the time and I'm just fucking confused, what the fuck do people even do there? Wow yea there's some shops, great, consumerism yay. I'd never say fuck local buy from Amazon but let's be honest there's no locals in London anyway. It's all overpriced shit. The musems are decent but let's just say I don't think most of these people are interested in anything like that and there's loads of good ones around here anyway. And Birmingham aquarium is way better than London is anyway. £100 just for a train or £25 for a litre of gin and a tub of hot chocolate? Real hard choice that one.

Today's the big Reform announcement day, and already I've heard something utterly retarded.

Reform would be willing to pay Eritrea and Afghanistan to take back their migrants. Wouldn't they just increase the amount being sent over to milk us for every penny?

Nice guess, you're forgetting that the Scots are also flying their flags a lot. It's understandable because there's no news about it.

Think instead of the nation most likely to hop on a whiney band wagon of "English bad" while not being willing to display a shred of pride in their own country.

They’re allowed to as they are Civ Nat faggots. Plus unless they are Rangers fans they burst into tears if they see a union flag.

We need to turn the saltire into a far-right dog whistle.

... England?

I kid. Mostly. She's presumably either Cherman, Irish, or French (although, French pride in France is as obvious as the Eiffel tower, despite the best efforts of les parisiennes).

 

[Chandiler Savant]

In general very suprised how open the deportation issue has become. The questions asked today are hypotheticals similar to the Tom Homan interviews. Zia hovers around Nige, maybe they're trying to embody the Vance/Trump duo. To not become too doomerpilled, just helped out my community to clean up some overgrown parts of the town, change is also local

Nope, it is instead the most forgettable of England's enemies.

Spoiler: Curse the damn-

It's the flag of Wales.

The French left’s hatred of France and the Tricolour is at levels that make our own left look tame.

It is almost always Pakis and Jeets. As long as there's enough people on the tube (in case they chimp out) I absolutely love making a spectacle of politely but firmly telling them to stop and that it's "not what we do in this country" or some shit like that. So far it's worked every time.

The missus hates me doing it because she's convinced it'll get me stabbed but I just can't stand people being loud on public transport.

A woman has been raped in the early hours of Saturday morning in Canary Wharf, in broad daylight. Allegedly this took place just outside the migrant hotel in the area. Locals took footage of the clean up and noted there was blood on the ground.

This comes after a week ago whereby locals protested the migrant hotel after an individual broke into a woman's home and was released for merely 'tresspassing'. Apparently the migrant in the more recent instance is still at large.

Part and parcel, eh? We can now expect to be raped gruesomely in broad daylight for all to see.
