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.

Holy shit some of these anonymous donations glow hard

but the fact they've come out with that,when so many other countries are refusing to take back their vermin

That's a major strategic part of the announcement they fucked up. Start with hard negotiation and just say "take them back or else" otherwise now it's expected thst we'll be paying each country that takes them back.

Oh boy, this retard has been confirmed to be the one involved in this incident if the Daily Mail is to be believed.

Guatantee that this is another Southport "clarification". Someone else who was legally let in and a good boy who dondo nuffink mate.

Far from being fresh off a cross-channel small inflatable ... came to Britain legally from Bulgaria ... has an eight-month-old baby ... saw from the CCTV cameras from Farmfoods that she was stopping me go on my way to the shop.

If his account is taken to be true, this incident is going to be quite embarrassing for the right side of the isle, as the outrage over this has been quite vociferous and at times extreme. This type of reaction to incidents where little to no information is available is exactly what undermines movements and leads to the death of a political message, much like the black activism / BLM movement in America, which on multiple occasions took a stance on an incident where it later turned out the unarmed "victim" was an armed criminal or actively endangering others, think the girl that was about to stab another teen who was shot or the many unarmed black men who later turned out to have guns. To react without information is to give your political opponents free credibility, as one mistake is far more costly than ten correct assertions.

Moreover, the man filming is Bulgarian, likely Orthodox Christian given the large cross on his neck, clearly isn't an illegal immigrant, has a job, is married, and is a new father. Needless to say that if comes to be that he has truly done nothing wrong, that this will be an optics nightmare. Redditors, politicians, lefties, and anyone in between are gonna be scoring slam dunks on the right for lying / being dishonest / striking up tensions, and the right will have no-one to blame but themselves. The guy even has a cute dog.

@Russian Bot #5361 if I’ve read the thread correctly he is known in the area, was following them and is now in custody for alleged sexual assault? Or is that another man?

Somehow, I don't think the optics will be a problem.

It's very hard to tell what's true and what isn't, as the internet is a firestorm of conflicting narratives at the moment, and many people are lying, spreading unsubstantiated rumours, or simply making shit up. I have yet to see any information about him being arrested though.

Cabinet reshuffle inbound for next week ahead of party conferences, what are your predictions?

It'll make literally no difference since the replacement PM (Milliband), chancellor (Reeves) and deputy PM (Rayner) are still there. Anyone willing to put their weight behind Cooper being moved off of immigration?

If his account is taken to be true

That's the question, isn't it? The police are in full cover-up mode right now, insisting that people don't share "misinformation" and running a misunderstood immigrant story as gospel truth. It's exactly the same sequence as the southport stabber, so people aren't going to trust it.

A fucking cringe-worthy Tiktok dance while wearing a grey tracksuit and one photo in a balaclava when the dude was 18 is hardly is hardly damning evidence of bad character. He gives more Boy Sminem Gypsy Edition™ vibes than gangster lmao.

Unfortunately you're completely right. British Police have lost so much reputation through its previous actions covering up crimes for political reasons, that we can't trust them whatsoever. It's a sad reflection upon society that the Police have become so politicised, and captured by ideological thinking, that citizens can't trust them to release truthful information, and this feeds the rampant speculation on this matter. It's part of the ever growing trend of ideological rot within British institutions and I have resigned to accepting that this won't change anytime soon.

Lammy out. Groid issues aside, totally ineffectual for what is going on in the world right now.

Russian bot is a lefty trying to "own the rightoids" from what I can tell from their reactions.

Won't someone think of the optics. A FOREIGN GYPSY was trying to groom children and they armed themselves after her little sister was physically assaulted by the gypsies. The optics are so BAD because it wasn't a paki or black! Children need to accept all foreigners are nice and kind people, even the ones kicking their sister in the head because she refused to go into their council flat and get raped.

Streeting might be moved upwards, as Starmer likes him.

Rayner being potted for Streeting is plausible, but Reeves and Starmer are tethered together.

If there's no sign of positive change after the Liverpool Conference, then the big changes will come.

It was obvious to anyone who isn't a fucking retard that the story wasn't what was being claimed. Like you say, this just undermines the cause among decent people, it's harmful in the long run. A slap-down was maybe the point.

There's also some weird shit going on here with these sisters, stories like these

These are the kids they go for, you know that right? The feral ones, the ones who go missing. The ones with chaotic lives. Parents are unsympathetic, not like the nice middle class mummies who can be all sad and demure on camera. These are families with drugs, booze and feral kids. These are the girls who the authorities just shrug and say they were asking for it. Even if they are ten, or twelve, they’re painted as ‘mature’ and yet magically not mature enough to have their lives together. What ‘mature’ means in that context isn’t mature as in got your life together it means ‘old enough to entice and fuck.’ And men like this know it.
The jay report - case after case of girls like this. Nobody cares, they’re seen as easy prey, precisely because of this stuff.

He looks like every other mystery origin maybe-Albanian-gangster-maybe-Roma roaming our street. Too tight suit pants and polyester background and the gangster hair shaved cut. None should be here.
There’s a significant portion of the entire population of Albanian men here on benefits, or maybe a Bulgarian roma? Who knows. Is there a kid in hospital? Was he following them? who knows, always good to be able to slap the white chavs back isn’t it?

1 in 50 Albanians in the UK is in prison. Given the execrable state of our police and justice system I wouldn't be in any way surprised to find that the majority of Albanians in this country are criminals.

You just have to look at areas where there's no pakis or niggers, girls come out of the care homes or shitty family homes and they get left to just geton with their lives, none of the predators trying to pimp them out or getting them onto the gear, or even if they do in white areas they at least pay them better and help them get off the drugs.

You can't say nobody cares, because not all places are like that.

The government have filed their response to the court ruling closing the The Bell Hotel. The Home Office's lawyers have said:

“Epping represents the public interest that subsists in planning control in its local area. The [Home Secretary’s] statutory duty is a manifestation of the United Kingdom’s obligations under Article 3 ECHR [European Convention on Human Rights], which establishes non derogable fundamental human rights.”

Which translates to: "asylum seekers have more human rights under the ECHR than British citizens".

How much do they want to lose the next election? This isn't cooling the situation at all, this is a direct insult to every single native citizen.
