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.

Looks like the hostility toward England that characterizes the neoliberals who rule it has filtered down to pub owners. Here’s what happened when an Englishman bearing an English flag tried to enter the Manor Farm Pub in Birmingham:

The Karen would not allow the Cross of St George because in England it is regarded as “protest material.” Presumably the Union Jack would fall under the same category, as both are carried by Britons who want to reclaim their country before it is eradicated via demographic displacement.

I know it's Birmingham, but I think that landlady may have made a slight miscalculation regarding the pub frequenter / flag respecter demographic overlap.

Turns out these pakis were known for doing this shit, I'm sure reddit will reevaluate their worldview after it led them to support child rapists and attack their 12 year old victim.

Informative post on the axe girl. The guy she threatened was a known pest trying to lure girls into his home and is now in custody for sexual assault.

I hope we see axe based civil rebellion. Have a full march of people carrying small axes. Some real, some fake. Just march down the road, chanting some slogans and threatening no one. 100% peaceful and see how the police react. Can't arrest everyone and if they try we can say we're lumberjacks with an axe necessary for our jobs.

I watched this live. You can see the whole fiasco develop here:

Auditors being the retards they are probably made the situation worse. If someone with a cooler head that wasn't just looking for outrage had dealt with it, the outcome would probably have been completely different.

Total citizen journalist death tbh

Not sure if this is a story of note, but it doesn't quite fit in with the Lolcow section (just yet) and I'm not sure if the person in question is suitable 'Lolstock' as yet...

Daniel Turner is a 'Groundhopper' from these lands (basically a football fan and likely autist) who goes around the UK watching football matches at a variety of grounds from Old Trafford to Dogshit Park watching the game at all levels (Premier to County Leagues etc.)

Anyway, he recently got rounded on for whining that he wasn't allowed to watch Birmingham City U18s v Blackpool U18s and that it wasn't fair etc.

As some of the players involved in these games are 15 or 16, there are strict rules on who can attend (Scouts have to register and be screened before they can be given a pass, for example, and there is a ban on filming inside the ground or pitch enclosure) but all Daniel cared about was being let in, because he's Daniel Turner and he should be allowed to do whatever he wants:

There's a ton of negative comments about him being a possible nonce and unemployed as well.

I'll do the GB News as usual tomorrow, been a busy few days here with work.

The guy on the right (her left) is muslim. You can tell, after a while. That pub is sandwiched between two of the big muslim enclaves in Birmingham, which means it will be under constant pressure to comply with any demands they make if it wants to remain open.

On the NHS point, what do you think is the best counter to that point? I'm sure a substantial amount of immigrants do work for it but is there any information that compares their contributions vs what they take from it?

I've started using social media for the first time ever solely because of this map project I've been working on, and it is an absolute cesspit on there.

One of the nice things about Xitter are the community notes, both the Tories and Labour have been getting rightfully blasted on this front:

I'm amazed Twitter haven't gotten Grok to compile the reports and run through them for typos and bullshit before applying it to an official government/opposition account.

Gypos 100%. Pakistanis are used to fighting women not men. A single gypo kid could beat the shit out of the average adult male paki especially considering they all have a fucking unlimited supply of bricks and rocks in their pockets.

If every western country is like the U.S. then the only collective group that puts more into the system than they take out, is white men. Every other group as a collective takes more out of the system.

That's easy.

Why do we need so many NHS staff? If we remove 10 million immigrants the NHS becomes much less burdened and we need less staff. Immigrants and foreign genetics make up a massive amount of pressure on the system. Pakistanis are especially bad as their inbred children put pressure on very young NHS care and lead to more British babies dying because inbred babies take up so many resources. And that's just babies, it gets worse as you go up the age range

Leftists love using contrived explanations of the past to justify a viewpoint. Marx used hunter-gather societies to justify why Communism was viable, so comparing conquest and colonisation to immigration is just par for the course.

1. Conquerors/colonisers.
2. They've saving something they helped ruin and are actively continuing to ruin in the first place.
3. Muh food
4. Muh drink
5. Muh appeal to authority
6. Muh appeal to emotion
You know in China they don't allow the sale of products from foreign companies to domestic consumers? So make an equivalent, or a knock-off, that then gets sold to their own people. Basically a modern form of mercantilism, exporting as much as possible whilst importing as little as possible. In China, they can only buy AMD graphics cards, Nvidia are not permitted to sell there, so they're not familiar with how much more powerful the RTX 5090 is to the RX 7800. The Chinaman may be aware of Nvidia's popularity and success, maybe even it's performance over AMD (the left seeing the rise of the flag campaign, Reform, etcetera), but they'll never be able to experience it themselves because they're not allowed by the government (leftist dogma and implicitly supporting "fascists")
Strained as fuck analogy but it made sense in my head.

The arguments this person is making are only strong to a pre-existing base of watchers who already espouse the same arguments themselves, and because they categorically refuse to listen to opposing viewpoints, they never end up learning how utterly shit their own arguments are or why people have long stopped accepting them.

It is staggering. Just keep your mouth shut. Why pull attention to this unless they thought they could get away with a nicely-worded lie during a time of intense political pressure?

Whoever is running comms at No. 10 is a plant, got to be.

Yes actually. Due to the way they put down stats - and the Baroness Casey audit revealing the fact the data can be shit and incorrect conclusions arrived to especially with race - the presentation is a little confusing but yes, whites are collectively the smallest burden as a whole. Almost half of Bangladeshi women are a net drain.

(I had to find another - old - thread to find this data again because I had already used it somewhere before. Bog-Standard Poster, who I originally replied to in that thread and used to be rather active here, now goes by Whoopsie Daisy and got pink-stickered for his comments in the Epstein Files thread - I always asserted he was LARPing. He got his own debate thread.)
