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.

Behead the fucker.
Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, the asylum seeker convicted of sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl while he was staying at Epping’s Bell Hotel, has been jailed for a total of 12 months At Chelmsford Crown Court. Ethiopian national Kebatu, who arrived in the UK on a small boat just days before the incidents, was found guilty of five offences after a three-day trial at Chelmsford and Colchester magistrates' courts.

The 38-year-old told two teenagers he wanted to "have a baby with each of them" and attempted to kiss them, before going on to put his hand on one of the girls' thighs and stroke her hair, his trial was told. The defendant, who said he was a "teacher of sports" in his home country, was also found to have sexually assaulted a woman by attempting to kiss her, putting his hand on her leg and telling her she was pretty.


District Judge Christopher Williams ordered Kebatu to serve eight months for the assault on the woman, and a further four months for the assault on the girl.

In passing sentence, the judge said Kebatu had been well aware of the child’s age, not least because she was wearing a school uniform. He also pointed out that at one stage it had become apparent that Kebatu was aroused, adding: "It must've been disgusting and sickening to the girl what must've occurred."

Kebatu said that "because of the situation Epping is in chaos and he had got a lot of migrants in trouble", the court heard.

Stuart Cowen, prosecuting, told Chelmsford Magistrates' Court that Ethiopian national Kebatu told the author of a pre-sentence report about him that he "felt very sad and felt a lot of remorse".

However, he added: "The word manipulative is used within the report.

​

"There's also comments made by Mr Kebatu when he stated he didn't know the UK was so strict even though he knew the Ethiopian age of consent was 18."

In reference to the widespread protests which engulfed the UK after Kebatu's arrest, Mr Cowen continued: "He said because of the situation Epping is in chaos and he had got a lot of migrants in trouble."

A 14-year-old girl who was sexually assaulted by asylum Kebatu has said in a victim personal statement that she is now "checking over my shoulder" when she is out with friends.

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said she prepared the statement "so that the man who did this to me understands what he has done to me - a 14-year-old girl".

She continued: "Every time I go out with my friends, I'm checking over my shoulder. Wearing a skirt now makes me feel vulnerable and exposed."


She added: "Seeing the bench (where the sexual assault took place) reminds me of everything that happened. I'm aware there have been protests because of what has happened - I'm lucky that I was not in the country when that happened.”

The member of the public who was sexually assaulted by Kebatu said the defendant "did not even appear to know that what he's done was wrong".

In her victim personal statement, the woman, who also cannot be named for legal reasons, said: "Since the incident, I feel both angered and frustrated.

"He did not even appear to know that what he's done was wrong. The incident has left me feeling worried to leave my house. I think about this incident most nights before bed.

"This incident has left me really angry as I do not stand for this behaviour, it makes me really angry.

"I want him to feel guilty for what he put us through. How would he feel if this was his mother, his daughter, his wife?”
Molly Dyas, mitigating for Kebatu, said the defendant's "firm wish is to be deported as soon as possible".

She told Chelmsford Magistrates' Court: "That was his view before the trial, and that remains his view today."

She said he was an "asylum seeker who made a difficult and lengthy journey from east Africa including the last part on a small boat" with no previous convictions recorded "including in the European countries he travelled through to reach the UK".

Ms Dyas said Kebatu had "reported to the probation service that he's suffering from mental health difficulties”.

Passing sentence, District Judge Christopher Williams said he agreed with the author of a pre-sentence report that Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was "manipulative" when interviewed by a probation officer.

He said: "That report indicates you were very reluctant to speak about the offending. It suggests you raised a lack of English and mental health difficulties as reasons why you either can't remember what happened or cannot talk about the offending.

"The probation officer didn't consider this was accurate and considered you were being manipulative. I agree with that assessment.”

Kebatu "couldn't have anticipated" his offending "would cause such a response from the public", Judge Williams acknowledged.


He explained: "Particularly in Epping, but also across the UK resulting in mass demonstrations and fear that children in the UK are not safe. It's evident to me that your shame and remorse isn't because of the offences you've committed but because of the impact they've had."

The judge said Kebatu told a probation officer he was "aware of the unrest that the offending had caused" and knew that "other law-abiding asylum seekers were impacted by the offending". Kebatu posed a "significant risk of reoffending", he warned.

Kebatu bowed his head to the judge before he was led to the cells at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. The judge said it appeared Kebatu had "attempted on at least one occasion to take your own life".

He said he must sign the Sex Offenders' Register for 10 years, and made him subject of a five-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He also ordered that Kebatu pay £650 prosecution costs and a £187 victim surcharge.

Surprisingly honest article from BBC about aslyum hotels and them illegally working. They managed to find one family though, that I am guessing we are supposed to feel sorry for. Except they have been here 9 years and are on their third appeal. Even having had extra kids in the hotels as they think it will help their case. Utterly ridiculous we need to get rid of this clown world unlimited appeals.
Just deport them already.

I think it's intentional. They'd have him out on the street by dinner time, but they're also afraid that it'll lead to the criminal or the judge being targeted for it. I think all of these decisions come down to "How low can I go without risking myself and my wife being dragged from our home at 3AM."

The entire British political system is ran by fear. They're motivated by terror, they say as much when they give recognition to Palestine or beg muslim rioters to leave their weapons at the mosque. The British people need to realize this.
 
Not sure where else to post this, so sorry that it's a bit off topic, but I saw that Hugh Anthony, some niche e-grifter nationalist Fuentes expy (being shilled by the ex-Homeland clique), was exposed for being a faggot in DMs and made some weird apology video.

It's not really a video I was expecting to make this morning, but also probably one that I did see coming eventually, because a past is always going to be brought up. So, as I'm sure many of you have seen, there's a tweet depicting out-of-context DMs between me and individuals from the past, or a video of me at a concert from the past, which shows me in a drunken state. These people are making this out to be the current me. They're making this out to be the man that I am now. Frankly, that's wrong. It's not who I am now. These videos are not being used to defame me, but to slander my politics, to make me appear unreliable, to make you guys not trust me with these things. They've seen me grow in the political sphere over the last few years, and now they're trying to use this to hammer me down and push me out.

The guy who uploaded the DM between us - completely out of context - that is an old DM. The same man, a Jewish guy from America I've never met in person, with whom I had very limited contact, is trying to make it seem like that version of me is who I am today. He's trying to portray me as still being that person. It's not true. That is not who I am. I don't do anything like that. I'm not involved in those kinds of things. I've admitted before that I had a past. I did. I was an immoral man. I was a lustful man. I was a sinner. I found Christ. I genuinely found Christ. I believe in the light. I believe he gave me a miracle and allowed me to be born again - start afresh. Those times in my life, I'm not proud of. You can go back through my tweets and see that I've admitted to not being proud of the man I presented myself as. I completely contest that I am that man now.

My message still stands. My values stand. I believe in traditional values. I believe in conserving our people. I believe in prospering our nation. I believe in fixing the social structures in the world and in our country so that nobody has to fall into the traps that I fell into. I've experienced watching people fall into lust, temptation, and drug addiction. It damages people. I can say that from personal experience. It drives you to a dark place where you don't even recognize yourself. And I don't want people to live like that. That's one of the major reasons why I do what I do. I don't want anyone to have to grow up in a world that tries to drag them into sin and temptation.

I want people to be able to break out of it, to see their own future and prosperity against social conditioning. I fell into social conditioning - into sin, temptation, and lust. It was a very bad time of my life. Over the last four years, I've had to experience my best friend of 11 years passing away at the age of 18. I've had to endure a relationship that was very physically abusive. I've had to deal with the police multiple times. I've been spiked. I've dealt with a lot of bad things. But I still continue to stand up, fight, better my character, and learn as much as I can. My values and morals at that time weren't the same as they are now. I didn't have the path or enlightenment to understand the situation I was in or the people I was around. Now I do.

Something these people are clearly missing is that every single one of them has disavowed me since I decided to better my life. Every single one has pushed me away. My own family has disavowed me. I continue to do what I do not for my own gain - I'm not gaining anything out of it - but out of care. That's all it is. Care. I care about the people in this world. I care about every soul that God has gifted. I care about the future of people and people's mindsets. These people are only attacking me because of my politics. There is no other reason. I guarantee you - and I know this for a fact - that there are hundreds of thousands, millions of people who involve themselves in the exact same lifestyle I was in: a very immoral one, involving nudes, casual sex, drug culture, drunkenness. The only difference is they're putting mine on blast because they don't like my politics. They're trying to disavow my message.

I don't mind if someone comes along and takes the baton, carries the same message for the benefit of this country. It's not about me. I've said this before. I am not the message. I'm just a messenger. My values don't change. My belief in Christ doesn't change. I still believe he has given me the ability to be born again, to have another chance, to learn from my mistakes, and to benefit society and people instead of dragging myself down a dark path. I don't involve myself in that life anymore. I don't have those friends. I don't go out. I don't do drugs. I don't get drunk. I simply have a casual drink in my bedroom, do a show, care about politics, tweet a couple of things. I don't talk to anybody. I'm not a big social guy.

The messages they're pulling out to try and harm my character now are out of context - just random sexual exchanges from a long time ago. If I could go back to the man I was then, I would slap him in the face and say: get a grip, get up, don't put yourself in these situations. What benefit does it give you? Nothing. You gain nothing from being involved in those dark areas, in drug culture where you're spending your entire life high, where you can't think rationally because your brain is swarmed with chemicals instead of logic and sense. None of us have a perfect past. I've never claimed to be perfect. I'm not a perfect man. I'm only 22. I have a lot to learn, a lot to overcome. But I've made big progress in my moral structure, mindset, framework, and beliefs. I continue to want to grow, to benefit myself, to avoid these temptations, and to teach people from my own experiences about the dangers of these temptations - so that nobody has to experience the torment of being dragged into those environments with those horrible people who want you to suffer.

I guarantee you, every single one of these people attacking me for what I used to do still does it. They still submit to sin. They still have casual sex. They still involve themselves in drug culture - probably going out three times a week, getting as high as they can, ending up at some random person's house until God knows when. I wouldn't do that. That's not who I am anymore. I'm a much more well-rounded individual. They're doing this because they don't like my politics. It's not about my character. These people used to like me as an individual - until they realized we were politically misaligned. Our values are no longer aligned because I turned my life to Christ. I found the light.

I appreciate what it looks like from the outset. I appreciate how these videos and screenshots appear. But it's not for us to judge the past. It's for God to forgive. It's for life to move forward. I still ask for forgiveness. I ask all of you for forgiveness for the life I used to live. I hope I can continue to benefit from the life I am living now, to make real change, to help people move forward and away from that. I don't want this country or this world to be surrounded by sin anymore. I don't want the social indoctrination to continue - what's being pushed through our schools and social media. I want people to be benefited. I want people to be successful. I want people to be righteous and pure.

So yes, some of the things you'll see are true. Some of the screenshots are of me. Some of it is hoax - people making things up, like bringing up things from 2018, bearing in mind I was 15 then, and didn't even start drinking until I was 19. I just played video games. I had no interest in that kind of thing. You'll see a few things, and it's not for me to tell you how to react. I ask for forgiveness for the life I used to live. I ask you to judge my character now, my moral standpoint now, who I am now - rather than who I used to be. I'm not perfect. I never claimed to be. But I've grown a lot, and I want to continue to grow. I love people as people. I hope those stuck in that life can break out, because I know the damage it does. I hope you can all find Jesus and the light and love he wants to give you. Apart from that, I have nothing else to say on this matter. Thank you for watching. God bless you all. Amen.

He never got to the raping part, just the groping shit. Though guarantee he would of gotten to that point eventually. 12 months for doing that shit to a woman including a minor is still too low.

It's because he didn't rape them, he sexually assaulted them. Which just means he made physical contact. From there, the judge just works off of the sentencing guidelines and with how crowded the jails are these days, sentencing is a fucking joke for pretty much anything.

Men don't notice those things unless there's hard nipples involved. It was more that she felt like a country lass you could roll around in the hay with. Men quite like women willing to get stuck in and get a bit dirty. Not the weird tomboy meme, but a girl willing to give it a go.

12 month jail sentence. Released at between 4 and 6 Months, Immediate asylum applications by leftist legals. Leave to stay for years while paperwork slowly gets passed through the hands of other asylum seekers in the fucking Home Office until a 70IQ Somalian boat fucker working at the Home Office desk at five minutes to clock-off stamps his application.

PASSED

That sounds like a rare B-side from 'Hatfield and The North'.

'Big Jobs (Poo Poo Extract)', 'Going Up To People and Tinkling', 'Shaving Is Boring', 'Lobster In Cleavage Probe' and 'Gigantic Land Crabs In Earth Takeover Bid' are other strangely named songs of theirs, which read like an episode of 'The Day Today'.

More pathetic whining from The Senedd as Eluned Morgan demands Senedd Members stop giving the Welsh Government 'so much work to do.':



It looks like Trump's unloaded on Starmer at the UN... this is the beginning of the end.

Reeves' plans to tax Pensioners won't be passed by Parliament - there will be deadlock and the Budget won't pass as rebels will say 'No!'

Plus, Davey is beginning to panic big time over Farage stating that we'd become like the USA with him as PM.

Oh dear, oh my oh my, Edward...

It's crazy how many "asylum seekers" can afford trips back home multiple times a year and that doesn't effect their claim of asylum.

Finally Scotland is standing up to thieves nicking from their shops!
A Scots shopkeeper who filmed himself brandishing a baseball bat has "declared a war on shoplifters."
Urfan Hussain, who works at Muirhouse Post Office in Edinburgh wants to put an end to shoplifting in small stores.

Posting a clip on Facebook, armed with a baseball bat, Urfan ranted he was 'sick and tired' of individuals taking items without paying.

Urfan also shared a clip of a man who "stole" £6.75 worth of chocolate, and said that he likes to give people a chance, and gives them time to come in and pay for the items - though this hasn't worked out.

Oh... oh dear. Turns out it was a paki all along threatening people with a bat. Will anything happen to him?

I have 2 questions.
How can they afford to visit, and why are they visiting the very places they are "fleeing for their lives"?

I have questions.
