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.

fookin

The way Mancs pronounce FOOKIN is a source of much joy to me.
It reminds me of that Elbow lyric, ‘That simian stroll.’ It’s like watching monkeys screech

The way the onlookers seem to be enjoying themselves or just plain old ignoring the man in a fresh puddle of blood on the floor is more disturbing to me that seeing the dude shot. The fuck is wrong with people??

 

[FedPostalService]

You were saying they have a plan to bring a load more weren’t you?

Yes, in November

 

[Otterly]

Yes, in November

Joy. No Christmas markets for me then.
I have a bad feeling about that

How do you know this? How do you rape your own mother when you're this fucked in the head? It seems like something he would make up to justify him raping his mother.

There was a document online, anonymised but clearly about this guy IIRC, which explained his absolutely horrific childhood and the unfathomable things that happened to him.

My sympathy is limited because he’s a danger to society, especially women, but he was abused so badly there’s no hope of him ever being able to live normally.

 

[Clem Fandango]

The barely intelligible Manc accents really make this video. what a shambles. why are there no parademics or police at that dead mans side? who's letting crackhead vicky and those two jews just walk past him? average day up norf

"Ee's got fuckin bombs on 'im! If ee fuckin detonates our Barbara's gonner ave anuvver eppy!"

Salt of the earth. It does my soul good to hear honest norvern accents like that. It's a shame there's no setting on here for you to all read my posts with my irl accent.

Don't let them take it from you. Be vigilant and keep yourself safe but don't sacrifice your culture to these invaders.

We'll just have to not look back in anger when we're finished reading them.

This is what long term psych care is for. He will never be able to function normally, he is a danger to people around him and should never be in public again. I can feel sorry for the child he was, but the adult is an active danger and needs removal from society.
He’s going to kill or maim someone else and everyone will be all shocked and lessons will be learned

This is, without a shed of irony, societal collapse. Depression-induced apathy has infected the minds of the people and they no longer care.
Even cattle know to run away or avoid an area if one of the herd gets stabbed to death.

Remember to put up your stone barricades around your local market

New Street Bham already has perma-installed ones but we got a second row of them this weekend for a mini food festival/bbq stalls. I thought it was a bit overkill until now.

Lets be honest. A good 90% of this thread would be cheering and doing football chants if they saw a Jewish nest assaulted IRL. "Keir Starmers a wanker!" and Mexican waves throughout the crowd.

I was thinking of visiting new street some time soon. Does it look like a Crystal maze zone yet?

Protect the Jews or the Muslim illegals? Policings going to be quite thin this time of year. Shame if so many protests happened the police couldn't attend all of the hotels.

I'm not sure. IRL people are just numbed to terror attacks. Part n parcel, init?

I don't think anything short of a 11/9 style attack would shake the normies out of their comas. I mean, 7/7 isn't even remembered or spoken about (This year they did for the first time in nearly a decade) and that's our worst terror attack in the history of our country by an order of magnitude.

The cattle are sedadated with a cocktail of drugs, legal and otherwise and addicted to vices from gambling to gaming.
They can't even form proper thoughts anymore. The brainwashing has worked and it's a stroke of genius really.

Seeing a guy without much of a care in the world record someone getting shot while another guy is bleeding out on the ground right infront of him while he garbles to the police to shoot someone so he can get it on video... this world is so fucked up. Violence is becoming so normalised.

The cameraman in a shock video is competent and you're fucking complaining?

 

[Allo Vera]

Do you know where I could find it?

Unfortunately not. I can’t remember who published it, although it may have been around the time the Irish prison service had him in a female prison.

There is a summary in this tweet at least.

-When he was 13, when he was in the backseat of a female care worker's car, he attempted to gouge her eyes out with his nails. He ended up tearing her eyelids and pulling out chunks of hair from her scalp.
-He said it was “music to her ears to hear [her] scream and cry”.
-As a child, his father beat and sexually assaulted his mother in front of him, which 'Barbie' joined in with.
-His father refused to let his mother breastfeed him, and also abused 'Barbie'.
-He was reported to exhibit violent and sexual behaviour towards female staff at a secure care facility from age 10.
-The national police service warned the public of a 'homicidal teenage girl', referring to Barbie (Alejandro).
-The woman he was found guilty of threatening to rape and murder was his mother. He also threatened to mutilate her genitals.
-He has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder.
-The Irish government put him in a female prison after his (female) lawyer said he was very distressed at the thought of being placed in a male prison.

I'm surprised he didn't shout "world star" at any point. Actual nigger behaviour.

the BBC is already making sure the video is a True and Honest Video of the attack, and not some other synagogue stabbing in Manchester. Wouldn't want to spread any misinformation!

What do you think he is lads?

 

[Kofi Drinka]

don't.

I want to see every major town and city in our fair land before they become no go zones. Even Birmingham other than passing through..

Big Baz. Racist white man read one too many /pol/ posts. Changed his name to Christopher Jesus the day before going on a stabbing spree with fire works strapped to his bollocks.
