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.

So bets on when and how the media will burry this attack? Were either going to get the "not all Muslims" or the "religion of peace" arguments been rolled out in real time though I have a feeling the government wont start blasting out Noel Gallagher's don't look back in anger for this one.

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..

perhaps you'll be interested in eating at the rat infested Yo Sushi in the train station, or the fusion Mexican-Indian takeout next to the homeless-infested Tim Hortons?

My son's already started saying caaahhhstle, baaaaahhhhth and garaaaaage like a southerner and it kills me a bit every time I hear it.

Don’t worry, they will end up like me, able to switch to and from the Joanna lumley - Nora batty mode with ease.

A good 90% of this thread would be cheering and doing football chants if they saw a Jewish nest assaulted IRL

No I don’t think I would tbh. It’s all a symptom of the same rot. I want to live in a country where I’m not afraid of getting shot, and if two lots of people can’t coexist, we were here first and they can leave.

The Middle East is still like that, and would be even if no white man had ever set foot in the place.

Yes I know, but they’d be doing it there, not here.
This will happen again. it’s got to stop. All of them need to go.
Very little space between that chain link fence and the wall, and the copper got himself on the wrong side of that fence. Maybe there’s a good reason for that we don’t see what precedes Mr. FOOKIN ELL EES GOT BOMB’s manc zapruder tape, but seems unwise when you could just shoot through it, especially given as there’s a wall drop he could duck behind if the guy gets to look like he’s setting the FOOKIN BOMBS off

Hows the McDonalds? I was thinking of heading to that bandai namco shop to get some gifts for the young uns for Christmas. Was planning to go soonish to avoid the Christmas stuff starting and playing IRL frogger.

It's okay Otterly, you're a woman. You get to run away crying to the chants of "Send 'em all back! Send em all back!" as the cops turn up.

For anyone who doesn’t want to watch dead people, the video is of a bloke on his knees in front of a synagogue. To our right is another larger man in a pool of blood, apparently wearing a white head covering thing (kippa? Apologies if wrong word.)
FOOKIN’ ELL
He’s got a bomb!he’s got a bomb in his jacket
Mate if he detonates
I’m just getting out of …
E’s trying’ to press the button
He’s got bombs
(Bang, copper shoots
He’s got fucking bombs attached to him foookin hell
Get the fuck out of here while he’s got bombs on him

(To man casually strolling past murder victim in pool of blood)
Mate he’s dead on the floor
Whhhatt the fook
Wow. Fooookin hell.
(Video pans off.)

A very peculiar mix of high drama and utter indifference / rubbernecking from the crowd

The person recording this has to be one of the most stupid people I've seen all year. I can't PL but in a scenario where I believe there is a bomb present I am not standing there saying "he's got a bomb, he's got a bomb". I am the other side of town. The only scenario in which I'm pausing at all is to get a loved one over my shoulder before I start to sprint.

What the Hell is wrong with people. Are they just raised entirely by TV and YouTube and have no concept of actually being present in the situation they're watching?

 

[the printer is outo fink]

Do you know where I could find it?

TUSLA, the Irish child and family agency (and absolute fucking evil joke of an organisation) sent legal take down notices to anyone who published the transcripts (and anything about Gabriel) a few years back. After some fight back, the transcripts seem to be gone but the stories about him still exist.

This article from last year details a lot of his history. It's written by the man who interviewed him yesterday and the owner of the dog he's petting. (Which was a brave/stupid move by O'Gorman because I wouldn't let that demon near a dog.) O'Gorman, incidentally, was mainly a radio personality who made human interest shows about people in queues. He fell into this story while interviewing women queue to visit prisoners where Gentile was imprisoned. At first he thought they were exaggerating, started looking into it, was horrified by what he discovered, reported on it and surprise, surprise, went from a respected presenter to being mostly blacklisted by Irish media.

Standing behind a camera has a very weird psychological effect. It disconnects you from the scenario because you're an observer. It's known to happen in war time and now we have the general public doing the same thing. Clout chasing also makes people willing to die for a good viral video.

I agree with you on the bomb thing. Get proper distance where you don't get turned into paste.

Bit of a different visual, though.

Rimmer to Wayne Slob...

I’d be surprised if it was a pooner, that’s quite the beard. Looks like a fat out of shape jihadi, I’m sorry, austere scholar.

Nonsense! That nice chain link fence will block the blast, surely?

Well so long as you can still do the Joanna Lumley voice. Nobody has ever said "Gabon" so alluringly.

Why do you know so much about this?

It’s a hobby. (Studying law, not fucking my cousins.)

Other things that are against the law in England:

• Carrying a plank along a pavement in London. (Illegal under the Metropolitan Police Act 1839. Also banned: carrying ladders, wheelbarrows, casks, or poles on the footway.)
• Handling salmon suspiciously (The Salmon Act 1986 makes it an offence to “handle salmon in suspicious circumstances.”)
• Singing obscene ballads in public (Still covered under old by-laws and police legislation. Standing in the street and belting out rude songs is technically unlawful.)
• Being drunk in charge of a cow. (Under the Licensing Act 1872, it’s an offence to be drunk in charge of a horse, cow, or steam engine.)
• Knocking on someone’s door and running away (The same Metropolitan Police Act 1839 criminalises “wilfully and wantonly disturbing” people by knocking or ringing doorbells without cause.)

Unfortunately, it is no longer legal to shoot a Welshman with a longbow in Chester after midnight. Political correctness gone mad.

Answering the questions put to him in the witness box by the Prosecution, Barbie Kardashian discarded his effeminate voice and spoke like a man.


He said he had threatened to rape the prisoner Tegan McGhee with an object and thus injure her to the extent that “she would not be able to have children.” When asked what object he had in mind he explained “I wanted to use an electric rod, but that was not available to me. I remember thinking I wanted to use the handle of a sweeping brush or a mop. I wanted to torture her sexually; I wanted to sexually electrocute her genitalia.”


He told the trial he wanted to “molest” prison officer Roisin Linnane. He said he would sexually assault her by “putting my hands between her legs and grabbing her vagina.” This would be a more “realistic” threat, he said, because the opportunity to rape her while he was in prison was unlikely to arise.


BK explained that the reason he threatened to rape and torture these women was that they had angered him by suggesting that he had not thoroughly cleaned the shower after use. He remained calm throughout his testimony, describing his threats of rape and torture as if they were an entirely reasonable and proportionate response to criticism of his shower hygiene. Then Prosecution raised the most obvious reason a rape threat made by BK might be considered credible by his victims: the fact that he is a man.

This man was in prison because he threatened to sexually violate his mother and would enjoy her slowly dying from genital mutilation. Intentionally making sure to draw it out. He comes out and goes into a battered woman's shelter where he assaults a woman in there and gets time in prison. Then he threatens to assault people in prison and admits to it openly but the jury finds it's not a credible threat? How is it not credible for a man with a 20+ year history of threatening sexual mutilation and assaulting women to be serious when he says he wants to do it? He even admits he didn't say rape as it's unlikely he could rape one so he knows what's possible and is threatening within the limits of something he could bring to action.

Ireland you're a bunch of faggots.

[Mound Dweller]

That's gotta be a mudslime, look at the well trimmed stache + buishy beard combo, maybe T*rk/Levatine? Hard to say with that level of blur but it's a muzzie 99.999%.,

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??

Prestwich is the kosher kapital of the kountry and there's a lot of bad blood for various reasons (mostly related to the classic chestnut of rental properties), hence why the dead fellow marinating in a pool of his own heart juice shan't garner much local sympathy outside his own tribe, just how it is in some places because everyone simply fucking hates each other.

The Nazi types would be applauding the attack and understand the connection between their words and rhetoric and actions that are taken that are violent.

I don't think criticising global Jewry or the state of Israel or denying the holocaust or whatever you would associate with the label of Nazi necessarily means you have any responsibility for or are in favour of attacks like this.
Anyone that isn't entirely anonymous, online and larpy would point out that random attacks aren't helping further any goals, it will just give the state excuses for more control, random orthodox Jews in Manchester are unlikely to have much power or influence etc.
Would you say anyone talking about immigration and immigrant crime is responsible for a random attack on Africans? Are you responsible for someone attacking a lolcow in real life that you spent time laughing at or criticising?
There is probably something to be said about dehumanising people, but particularly in Britain where you have to be people are and should be careful with that.

 

[Chunky Salsa]

It's obviously a muzzie, the hard right in the UK is mixed on Der Juden question; and if they come down on the anti jew side, it's always against the nebulous concept of international jewry; not some random synagogue.
