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.

It's the same as the old one, just not a gif. And the retarded boy has been blackened.


It was the English ones which threatened me last time when I said "trick"!

Not sure you want an English lass giving you tricks.. Probably end up with the clap.

I kinda like it as an idea

Even if it is a grift at least Nick is over there filming it, and a lot of X replies are cheering him on; the idea could catch on and spread from outside the 'safe' party sphere into local communities. For all the talk of lads in Epping chasing out the groups camping in the forest nothing has really come of it. However only in Minecraft, if people started hounding migrants out of the community and letting it be known they were not welcome anywhere it would be absolutely horrifying and anti-democracy and I weep over my shrine to Keir Starmer (rentboys be upon him) at the mere thought of it.

I would sponsor skin heads to do this.

we can get them kiwi-branded knives and tshirts to wear

All weather spoons. Knives are banned and it's too cold for shirts.

The government just blocked access to Imgur because they wouldn't buy the expensive as fuck ID checking system. Now Steam Workshop mods that use Imgur to layout their descriptions (including my own stuff) are all fucked up and I need a VPN to use fucking Steam.

I am unironically fucking pissed. This government can suck my dick I'M GOING TO FED POST AAAAHHHH

 

[Mister Fister]

Do they ban forges and metal working tools as well?

 

[Kofi Drinka]

Yes. You might forge a gun. Screw drivers, hammers, pliers. All banned.

Most people in the UK who would need that, are too poor to afford the space needed for that. Large parts of the cities are just becoming defacto dickens like slum houses now. Because retarded browns like living 20 to a house; and boomers own all the houses and like raking in cash from the infinite money glitch that is renting to browns paid for by the government.

Back after getting kicked out of Greggs and also Kiwi Farms.

I hope we’re all ready to get swamped by Palestinians.

A client was going nuts the other day. The government is using universities to bring a ton of them in for an “evacuation“ in November. It’ll be a ton of “students.”

I’ve not been able to find out what visas they are using but chances are they’ll all arrive, claim asylum, then use the Human Rights act to bring their entire families.

I hope you all enjoy rapes being covered up with te extra bonus of drug disputes being settled with grenades.

There are basically no adults left at the Foreign or Home Office and we’re bring in a massive amount of sand gypsies no Arab nation wants to touch.

 

[Chunky Salsa]

also Kiwi Farms.

Did you call Null a slur in Greggs?

 

[the printer is outo fink]

He still has the tard walk I remember from 2015, too. Can't even walk like a real human.

Isn't he trying to do some sort of catwalk type strut? I'm not sure why, as the message about checking what Reform are doing, doesn't lend itself to some sort of play on models or fashion. But I do think it's what he's doing with the hand on the hip, hip jut and head nod before turning to walk back.

Many women simply freeze or curl up into a ball and cry.

Women need to be taught they cannot fight and they cannot run so their only way to stay safe is prevention. But we teach them the complete opposite for some reason.

you write that like you have extensive experience, like a rapey paki or something.

I was a bit too honest on the real reason why people dox people. At least it wasn’t for calling the mods trannies this time.

Most universities in the country are going to take in a bunch of sand gypsies.

There’s practically no checks been done on them. What qualifications have you got? Erm, loads but them all got destroyed in a Zionist bomb then my dog ate them. Are you a Hamas member? No, ask that guy over there, he says I’m cool.

Expect a sudden rise in attacks on Jews in December and the “far-right” (all 200 of them) being blamed. Maybe a couple of churches randomly catching fire too.

Not sure how much more info I can go into in this thread as I don’t want to dox my client as I don’t want harm to come to him, but a lot of this is public but just not getting reported on.

The so called right wing press is completely silent as we are letting generational security issues into the country.

I’m so tired, sausage and bean bake bros. I hate this government so much.

 

[Duane Dibbley]

Why an evacuation in November?
My arse twitches around Bonfire night - as much as it is my favourite annual event and seems to be dying down.
I hope something isn't planned for November. Ship out the Brits to fight in Palestine, bring in the palestinians who don't want to fight.

Because it’s a war zone and you can’t pick and choose when flights are coming in and out to replace your native population.

Most of that isn't boomers. It's foreigners owning all the property.

I have extensive experience working with women who have suffered serious traumatic experiences. Worked in that line of work when I was younger and have seen too many women left in bits afterwards.

They're showing an undercover documentary on BBC about institutional racism in the police force. Of course, most the racist stuff they said was completely agreeable. How does one catch out an undercover journalist?

Dunk them in a river. If they float they’re a journalist and you need to burn them at a stake. If they drown they’re in heaven with Diana and the angels now.

Yeah, probably. The housing situation is really fucking with my head at the moment, shit is looking "Cooked" as the kids say.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

You may be right, but honestly? I kinda like it as an idea. I would pay a subscription for a mob to romp around Calais slashing rubber dinghies. It's better that it happens over there. Sponsor a skinhead today!

Give them a flag or two and we could have half of France conquered by Christmas.
