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.

They're brownoids. Look at the facial features. And boat people are europeans as well

Tell me your experience of 90s Britain is from Google, without telling me.

They're Spanish or southern French. You can see their tan lines.

Ah, getting a back bencher to push that makes even more sense now. When that gets properly uncovered Keir needs to be very insulated.

Not just any back bencher, mind you, but the sister of Jo Cox. There's a lot of data protection removal notices on any google searches related to Starmer, Cox, and Leadbeater. There's some sort connection there, beyond merely being party colleagues. I can't find it.

 

[Clem Fandango]

I just watched that video and noticed two things; Halliwell's tits are a British treasure and the video is about a bunch of fighting age brownoid men on a boat lusting after a lone white female.

Predictive programming?

I think they're just Spanish, which makes sense given the song and all.

Anyway, just rewatched that video after years. The good bit is right at the 1:58 mark. Absolute classic.

Yes it’s all very potentially unpleasant isn’t it? Imagine if we found that end of life care was outsourced to some private outfit just as the euthanasia bills were being pushed. Or a two tier healthcare was allowed just as a massive Labour donor had interests in private health,

Rather like how hotels were used to transfer money from the public to private purse over immigrants. And how Covid was used to transfer billions of public money to private chums without any oversight or due diligence at all.
It’s almost like all these politicians are just asset stripping the country for their own benefit isn’t it?

Rumours through the grapevine is that Angela Raynor queefed in parliament and Richard Tice was overhead muttering "just my size" with a big dirty smirk on his face.

On the topic of tidies from the 90s I always liked Danielle Nicholls from CITV. I used to think she was a chinky. Shes still alright, would still get the job done like an old refurbished laptop.

none of them had a chance against Sophie Elis Bextor.

I always thought she had a wierd plasticky face.

It's not miscegenation if you just really like the personality damnit.

Old people being mistreated is one thing I can't quite blame the lords and masters for, we as a culture made the decision to forsake our elders to death camps care homes instead of actually doing our duty to them afterall.

 

[Muad'Dick]

I dunno mate. She had left the petite zone and was heading into dwarfism. I saw her and her husband at Sainsbury's in Edgware once, way back when, and it looked like he was walking his daughter around.

Why do you always have to fuck everything up? We were having a good time and you bring up bestiality. You deserve your pink triangle. You probably think Gorillas in the mist is a porno full of hot women too.

What's wrong with a short lass? If you've ever had your phone drop down behind the bed and can't find a suitable stick you know the value in a 5 foot nothing woman. They scurry under like a ferret and come back with a shit eating grin on their face. "Bet you couldn't fit under there" like being deformed is an asset outside of one specific case.

Geri always seemed a bit of a munter to me. Bunton was the hot spice girl and none of them had a chance against Sophie Elis Bextor.

Debates about the hottest Spice Girl in 2025, good grief.

And it's Posh, btw.

Are you blind? She's a fucking stick. I don't understand why women think women with zero figure are attractive. You'd be better off trying to shag a birch tree than someone with a figure like that. Would be softer.

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

Not to be a contrarian but Sporty spice has kinda grew on me through the years. Took a while but i eventually I left the ginger/baby hivemind. Posh was always a munter she had a mad pig nose and was a dour faced cow.

Scary spice has probably aged the best objectively but shes a jobbyskin

Something is going on in that sektur. My old dear is still in permanent residential care and when the inmates "leave" they're not getting replaced. There was a small hospice care wing at her care home too, but that hasn't seen anyone for at least a couple of years now and it looks like it's being used for storage.

The place is run by a skeleton crew compared to what it was like when my mother was first admitted and the staff have said there are a lot of care homes in the area that are in exactly the same state.

It could be nothing, but it does get the cogs turning.

If they can't get on the rides at the Pleasure Beach thats too much for me.

Tall birds never get the love the deserve. One of my exes was just shy of six foot, had a twin sister and an older sister who was the same height. You will never have that feel of being Gaddafi surrounded by his security detail when there was a family get together at the pub.

Tall birds seem a pain in the arse. Either they have a complex over being tall or they're stuck up cunts cause they think their models. You need someone you can put your chin on for when you're attending events. You can stand behind her and she won't block your view.

She wasn't any skinnier than the other four back then, and she had the prettiest face.


Plus I went for moody and slightly mental chicks. A bad habit on my part, but it was what it was. TBH, wasn't my sort of music anyway.

 

[Kofi Drinka]

Pictured with her husband and meeting families over meningitis in children. Slag posts between talking about her dead baby.

Don't know what talktv is but it's there if you want to listen to the cow's opinions. I'd recommend a cheeky wank and clearing the browser history before the wife checks it.

They all look like downies in that picture.

Geri : Got any cocaine?
Sporty : Was that your sister? I slashed her tires just in case you were trying to cheat on me.
Posh : Your dog was sick so I took it to the vets to be put down. I'lll be your new dog
Black spice : Can we 'ave it in a curry for tea?
Baby : I own a horse and he's better in bed than you.

She has aged well.

I've been forever MK Ultra'd by the Bo Selecta version of Mel B. Thats never getting undone.

Why do you think they released so many pensioners with covid into the care system back then? They took advantage of the situation to kill off a bunch of tax burdens. In fact the whole thing turned into an impromptu depopulation effort, what with putting everyone who had a slight wheeze on a ventilator until their lungs exploded and stabbing everyone they could get their hands on with heart attack juice.

Last time I saw the inside of a care home was when my great aunt went into one, about... christ, 15 years ago. She'd just got her telegram from the queen. It was reputedly a good place, one she had insisted on specifically, but that level of rep was already unusual even then. She tapped out a year and a bit later, a few days after I went to see her. Very expensive. All the staff were white, which seemed unremarkable at the time, but stands out now for how unusual it actually was, even then. The whole system was going to shit even before the rona came along and gave the "nurses" carte blanche to summarily execute anyone over the age of 60; the stories I hear these days are shocking. My da is never going near one of those slaughterhouses.

Your Party has been launched (for a second time) by Corbyn alone, with a new membership portal and new yearly fee (from £55 to £60).
