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.

My favourite is Americans thinking the revolution was about freeing themselfes from the King's Tyranny when in reality it was because they don't want to pay taxes after we went bankrupt defending the colonies from the French and also every single American president has held more power and authority than any English King since John lackland.

Because they are not interested in what those groups are pushing, only that they continue to attack the government that is supporting Ukraine in the war they are currently in.

Its not a hard concept to grasp really, I struggle to see why so many people have no clue as to how non-linear conflicts are able to occur.

True, it isn't and I get the point that you can back more than one horse in the race.

The problem is that 'the experts' are 100% certain that Russia only likes Nigel/Reform UK, even when there's no evidence of this and they can never produce it during debates.

Whereas when a Russian businesswoman openly admitted to funding Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion, that was deemed as a hoax and fake news by the Left.

I don't often make comments as I'm about to, because it falls into what is the zeitgeist of modern feminism and the woke crowd ( and always feels patronising to me by those that normally say it ).

But sincerely - what a brave and corageous woman. The fact that she is prepared to resign and not be bought off or coerced into what appears to be a government white washing of those terrible events, speaks much for her moral fortitude.

Also: would (as long as she was thoroughly tested and confirmed clean of STDs after all of that paki cock she took.)

 

[femboy fart huffer]

you were out celebrating the near destruction of the Parliament of old

It's ok. I don't think that's needed. Loose lips sink ships and you can call me hotkinkyjo in a stable.

calling it a cover-up and that its goal is to downplay any racial and religious aspects

Entirely unsurprised. Why would the inquiry into a coverup lead by the same people that did the covering up be anything other than another coverup? Everyone in this country should hopefully already know that the police not only failed but actively worked against rape victims. They're never going to admit what they did, they'll never say they're guilty and even if they did then they would never face any punishment. We had the saville coverup, we had the failings of the police for that guy that got murdered a week ago, we had the coverups for that one gay paedophile that hosted a show with that blond woman and then we had this. At a point you have to ask yourself, did the police really fail? Or is just their intended goal?

I saw this on twitter though.

Just so there's something funny instead of just how fucked the police are. Kier thinking trump is calling him to speak only for him to get cut off and go back visibly upset by it. Was posted a bit over a week ago though.

I'm surprised not to see this in this thread already. Perhaps it's been reported elsewhere but I didn't see it at a quick glance or maybe I just missed it.

Ellie Reynolds, one of the grooming gang survivors, has resigned from Labour's inquiry into it, calling it a cover-up and that its goal is to downplay any racial and religious aspects. Heart-breaking to read, really. You can tell exactly how they have behaved from what she writes. It's a process a lot of us have seen before in inquiries. Though seldom as sad a subject matter as this.

it was always going to be a cover-up. The government (of any stripe) is invested in not focusing on the race and religious element, and utterly ignores the class element because we’re all supposed to be above all that stuff now.

In short, it’s a pointless exercise. The real question that should be asked - why the fuck do any men in this country feel they have the right to treat any girl that way - is totally ignored here. Government doesn’t give a shit about poor white girls, any more than it gives a shit about poor girls of any other colour. They’re just happy to regard the British white or black girls as ‘should’ve known better and must’ve wanted it’, and Asian girls as ‘just part of their culture’.

Who was paying for sex with these girls? Why aren’t every single one of them up in court?

 

[FedPostalService]

"The real horror of the grooming gang enquiry is racism and the real victim is the Asian community." I guaran-fucking-tee those will be the findings of the enquiry.

As I keep telling people, the Tories didn't care about you but Labour actively fucking hate you.

That much was obvious. The moment it was announced, they tried widening the scope in the same way as the previous inquiry, away from the specific investigation of asian rape gangs, to covering any kind of abuse against children, which would be such a broad remit as to be functionally useless. They wanted to sink the problem in a swamp of "people are bad and please think of the children".

Three wrongly accused over child abuse images after BT gets 'wires crossed'

Had your entire fucking life ruined by false accusations? Well

The tribunal did not find grounds for compensation or remedies for the three claimants, as the force had acted within the law and responded appropriately once the error was discovered.

Get fucked lol. Yea so what you couldn't fucking see your kids and you literally lost a job because of it. Not our fault. Should have been brown and we wouldn't have even looked. Not that you needed any more reason to hate bt and the police.

Look at the proposals to ban protests that are at regular specific sites after the Paliniggers were celebrating the Manchester Jews being killed; this was not about controlling the Watermelons and their Mohammed enjoying friends who will be marching about and not at static places, it will be used against white people protesting at hotels which are being filled with foreign rapists at the tax payers expense.

Everything this government does is for the benefit of everyone else in the world except for the honest tax payer and we have a media so retarded and cowardly that no one will call it out except screwballs like us on the upper case i Internet.

I'm getting MATI and wanting to fed post again.

It's all window dressing.

Those in charge really do not give a solitary shit about any of the underclasses, including Pakistani's and Niggers - they are only useful to them as unpaid savages and foot soldiers in their war against the peons.

The working class don't matter to them - just take your UBI's, accept the Digital ID's and suffer.
Women don't matter to them - woke ones still don't know what one is.
Children don't matter to them - they are potential sex toys to be exploited.
Old People don't matter to them - they should fucking well die.
Ethnics don't matter to them - blame Whitey, it's Whitey's fault.

The sooner people realise that LibLabCon will never be on their side, the better.

Reform UK at least would put those responsible in prison for life.

He's the one who called for the vote. He also appears to be directly accusing his predecessor of fixing the votes.

Telegraph because most sources omit him accusing them by name.

The president-elect of the Oxford Union has been ousted following outrage over his apparent celebration of Charlie Kirk’s shooting.

George Abaraonye, who was due to take over as president of the 202-year-old debating society next term, was forced out following a vote on Saturday.

The Oxford Union published the results of the vote on Tuesday morning. Of 1,746 votes cast, 1,228 were in favour of no-confidence, meaning the no-confidence motion carried. Rules state that at least two-thirds of valid votes must be cast in favour for the motion to be passed.

The debating society was engulfed in a free speech row when The Telegraph revealed in September that Mr Abaraonye had shared messages in which he appeared to celebrate the lethal attack on Kirk, a Right-wing US influencer.

Sources claimed that close to 1,000 life members of the Oxford Union subsequently registered proxy votes against the philosophy, politics and economics student in an organised push to oust him last week.

The outcome of the vote was to have been published on Sunday but the process was delayed over identity checks on proxy votes submitted by alumni.

A notice posted at the Oxford Union on Tuesday read: “As this threshold has been met, the motion of no confidence has been carried.”

Oxford Union officials told The Telegraph the vote count had descended into chaos as they had to check the identity of every proxy vote manually.

The process was temporarily suspended on Monday morning after the Oxford Union’s extraordinary returning officer claimed he was “subjected to obstruction, intimidation, and unwarranted hostility by a number of representatives”.

Mr Abaraonye, 20, contested the results, claiming he “remains the president-elect”. He claimed the poll was “compromised” and he did not know “if or how many proxy votes have been tampered with”.

In September, the final-year student at University College, Oxford, sent texts to a chat group, including one saying, “Charlie Kirk got shot, let’s f------ go”, a common celebratory phrase among Gen Z.

Another message, believed to be sent from his Instagram account, said: “Charlie Kirk got shot loool.”

Mr Abaraonye debated with Kirk in the Oxford Union chamber months earlier, with the pair exchanging views on marriage, gender norms and toxic masculinity.

Mr Abaraonye has since apologised and retracted his remarks, but his refusal to step away angered many alumni.

The student took the unusual step of bringing a no-confidence motion in himself last Monday, which he told The Telegraph was an attempt to “reclaim a process of true accountability” and force the debate back “into our chambers, a space built for free speech”.

Critics claimed that alumni had planned to submit a motion of no confidence the following day, and Mr Abaraonye was trying to get the upper hand.

There was a widespread backlash over the student’s remarks about Kirk, which The Telegraph revealed had prompted dozens of scheduled speakers to pull out and a £500,000 donation to be put on hold.

In an open letter read out on last Friday’s episode of The Charlie Kirk Show podcast, three of Kirk’s closest friends said they would “personally contact every American political speaker who has ever graced the union’s chamber and urge them never again to lend their name, time or reputation to that institution that has betrayed its founding ideals”.

It would have raised questions over speaking events scheduled to take place in the coming months, including an appearance by Mike Pence, Donald Trump’s former vice-president.

Mr Abaraonye claimed that the debate over his future at the Oxford Union had been hijacked by racist remarks and “violent and extreme rhetoric”, which he said had resulted in threats to his family.

In a statement to The Telegraph last week, he said: “The union is a formative space where students learn, often through error. Making a mistake and growing from it is part of the university experience. For members who know me or have engaged with me since, I hope they see that growth and my commitment to the role.

“Ultimately, the specific outcome [of the vote] is secondary to the principle. The goal is to demonstrate that the Oxford Union will not be bullied by cancel culture and will stand firm in its commitment to free speech, a fair process and reasoned debate.”

After the results were announced, Mr Abaraonye’s team released a statement which read: “This poll was compromised from the moment Moosa Harraj [president of the Oxford Union] and his majority on the Standing Committee brought compromised and untested Poll Regulations.

“George is proud and thankful to have the support of well in excess of a majority of students at Oxford, who voted to have a safe election and resist attempts to subvert democracy.”

At first the George Abaraonye thing makes me think that in a civilised society we should be able to discuss even distasteful things without suffering physical harm, threats, or abuse.

Then I remember he’d celebrate me getting shot in the throat and I think the nigger deserves anything he has coming to him.

Stomach churning to read.

am honestly shocked. Not that they'd go to such lengths, but that they were so blatant and obvious about it.

I’m not at all shocked. This is the political class. They see the working class and women and girls like Ellie as a kind of retarded pet. They don’t even think they need to be subtle in their machinations because they cannot conceive that one of these disposable girls would see through it at all. They hold you, and me, and the entire British public in the same level of contempt. They hate us

What sticks out to me is that the behaviours Ellie-Ann ascribes to the inquiry officials are exactly the same way an abuser behaves towards their targets. Isolation, manipulation, enforced dependency. She was very deliberate in highlighting these things.

I have pointed this out many times. The state uses exactly rhe same patterns of abusive and coercive control as an abusive partner. And you don’t see pamphlets like you used to pointing out ‘how abusers work.’

It’s so much more than 1400. That was just Rotherham. This goes on EVERYWHERE. It goes on in all the South Yorkshire police’s towns, Doncaster, Sheffield, all of them . It’s in West Yorkshire. Manchester, Derbyshire, everywhere. All towns with any significant Pakistani population. There will be HUNDREDs of thousands of girls and boys abused. The sale of it is horrifying.

That was me. It’s also because the state does it too.
There used to be pamphlets, things in magazines etc aimed at spotting abusive behaviour. They’d list stuff out:
Does your partner control where you go, alienate you from family and friends ? Do they require things like check ins from you to make sure you’re not with other men? For they track your phone? (Oh wait, we made you do all that during covid…)
Do they threaten violence for your words? Oh wait trannies do that and so does the government….

Can’t have the plebs realising a giant Duluth wheel has replaced the government. They and all their attack dogs use exactly the same techniques. It’s ’look what you made me do’ on a national scale.

Read Bungay din’s post under that last quote as well:

Nailed it (as usual). For further consideration:

Three wrongly accused over child abuse images after BT gets 'wires crossed'

Oopsie Doodles!

I get that they want to protect as quickly as possible from child abuse and an actual conviction could take a long time, but the solution should be to be able to move more quickly with the convictions. Article doesn't have a timeline for this but wouldn't shock me if they lived under threat of this for years before finally cleared. And absolutely they should be compensated for this. This is life-ruining stuff. I wonder how it even came to light. The only source for finding this out would likely be BT themselves, no? It's a rare person who could look at evidence against them and say "wait - that wasn't my IP address on that date." Kind of surprised they ever learned what the cause of the false accusation was.
