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.

The Met Police have taken over the manhunt. They are investigating the Bell Hotel for any associates he may have made (I bet they are all going to say they no speaky English)

A delivery driver says Kebatu waited outside HMP Chelmsford for 90 minutes before staff told him to head to the train station. Prison staff were saying he had to go on this train to get to destination (unarchived Sky News clip) I mean. Holy Shit. Staff incompetence doesn't even begin to cover this, they 100% let him go on purpose, or this is how they treat every single criminal-to-be-deported, just letting them out and not even waiting for or arranging appropriate transport and just hoping they turn up at the airport or something? Idk which is worse

I just put on a Premier League soccer ball game for the first time in ages. It's good to see they're still taking the knee for big George before kick-off. May British football never forget him.

Oi oi lads, can you feel it? I've been saying it for a while, but we are one thrown bottle away from a major "kerfuffle".

Loved the chat on the death penalty the past few days, reminds me of something I saw recently. It was a video of a woman apparently shoplifting (you only saw the aftermath not her take anything) and there were rational, reasonable old ladies commenting shit like "Cut their hands off!", which is an act that I see as very Islamic in nature.

I don't think people have understood just how entrenched these feelings are now, Keir Starmer has done more work for the radical right this past year than the entirety of UKIP and the BNP did.

Does the way the person is killed change the meaning behind it? Would you make it a public event and a day out with the kids (especially asking those with bairns) or make it a bit more clinical like the lethal injection states?

Public for non brits, for britons it should be up the victims families

Also, they still haven't caught him.

It'll take him offending again (very likely) for him to ever be caught again, I don't think people grasp just how much 'tracking' people heavily relies on having a mobile phone, without that he's basically untracable once he wanders out into the street and gets a change of clothes.

EDIT: Actually that reminds me, the only way this could be a bigger farce is if he was GIVEN a mobile phone and the thickos haven't bothered to give him a ring.

Imagine being a met copper having to have the uncomfortable task of stopping and searching anyone who looks a bit like him, only to discover it isn't him and you're going to get written up for institutionalised racism.

Make it a humiliation ritual. You can't just get a child rapist to take a pill and keel over in 25 minutes, you HAVE to watch their necks snap and see their last moments alive being to shit themselves.

The crowd do boo, but you wouldn't know from watching the footy on sky because they cut the audio to the ground and add in fake crowd noises to cover the booing.

Staff incompetence doesn't even begin to cover this,

Unfortunately, it does. But it isn't incompetence due to a lack of ability, but because these people simply do not care.

If anyone has had the displeasure of interacting with anyone under the age of 25 in a customer facing role, you can see the apathy from a mile off. They simply, do not give a fuck. Most probably knew he was a rapist, but why say anything and make more work when you can do nothing and keep earning?

The chinese psyop of quiet quitting catalysed by the furlough period has taught the youth that they do not need to be productive to still get paid.

Maybe I'm getting too old for my own good, but I refuse to deal with or interact with these kids anymore. I know, I know, all 20 year olds are useless gobshites who think they know it all and every generation feels the same, but this is different, it really is. Brainrot to the highest fucking levels.

Rant over.

"Cut their hands off!", which is an act that I see as very Islamic in nature.

Ask Made In Wales, I'm sure he's got a family member who lost a hand for sheep buggery back in't day.
And personally I see nothing wrong with charging a small fee to let people get good seats for a hanging, hell livestream it for all I care (I'd like to thank todays sponser Betterhelp...). Let the councils raise money through that. I disagree with lethal injection, it's too 'clinical' and detached from the purpose (and often botched), along with a long ass death row sentence and endless fucking appeals. Make it quick and get the point across. Also to remove the the whole 'government/state decides who can and can't get the death penalty' I'd personally prefer a system that allows the Jury (of our peers) to have more say in sentencing. Can't trust judges.
Now thats a good skit for you, the modern day Crown Prosecution Hanging Service, complete with mental health days off and wellbeing emails, powerpoints about 'how to feel watching child predators choke', and endless consultations about the best rope.

Another white girl murdered; Stephanie Irons, 23, was found dead by emergency services on Tuesday. Adedapo Adegbola, 40, of Woodborough Road, Mapperley, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with murder on Friday, it seems his name has just been released. Police say he was known to the victim (????). I know a few in Notts council and they always make odd remarks that Notts is 'very white' which is baffling to me (because Newark is full of gyppos), is it brown enough now a girl is dead?

A good hanging would be nice to see, feels most civilised and a nice way for the victims to get a nice and very final bit of closure.

The way this Overton window is shifting, we might have a bloody referendum on it by 2030.

>country held together by the smallest bit of blutac imaginable

but we are one thrown bottle away from a major "kerfuffle".

UKIP are being prevented from protesting in Tower Hamlets and allegedly being directed away from 'Stand Up to Racism' counter protest and gangs of masked browns/Islamists. The Met are stretched thin already, and they've got this manhunt to allegedly care about. I think we are all just waiting for it to go off. If the police can't find Kebatu then the emperor has no clothes.

Irish news- the brother of Ashling Murphy's (another white girl) killer has been murdered in prison. Good riddance, the family was jailed trying to cover up her killing. The prison staff are being investigated... shame our prisons let the killers go while the Irish get rid of em (to say nothing of Ian Watkins being sent to hell).

Traditionally a beheading would be for nobility and hangings for the commoners. I can't think of anyone these days who would deserve the ol chop. Personally I'm sick of this neocon larper debate, when will the overton window shift so that we can ask the real question, where do we hang the bodies from afterwards? Or fit the heads on spikes?

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

It's funny that one of the most prominent reasons for not supporting the death penalty is that once you decide to kill people, when do you decide to stop?

That's the fun part. You don't.

Singapore has some of the most brutal punishments in the world, now the place is a high trust society have they removed the death penalty and scaled down the brutality? Absolutely not.

 

[Symbol of the Chud]

The best outcome for this Kembaku nigger or whatever the fuck he's called would be for vigilantes to get him and dissolve his body in acid. That way the rozzers look completely incompetent at never catching him making the public furious AND the rapenigger is also where he belongs. Hell.

Not that I'm advocating for vigilantes going out and dissolving people alive in barrels full of acid, that wouldn't be very British of me.

Singapore

I always cringe when some backpacker gets caught with drugs in the SEAsian countries or Saudi, and then begs and cries to not face a lifetime sentence. What did you fucking expect? Not every country is completely cucked like we are. It's embarrassing for the nation.

Stephanie Irons, 23,

Rumour there is an asylum seeker hotel on the road that Adedapo Adegbola (the murderer) is addressed at. My money is on her working/volunteering or something there, which is how they 'knew each other' (according to Police) and this is an exact repeat of the Walsall hotel worker killing. Very little info atm.

Adedapo Adegbola,

Mapperley man.

Nottingham really has suffered enough in recent years, with Grace, Ian and Barnaby as well.

Was talking with a Cardiff fan early this morning, before he travelled up to Bolton - we're politically different, but one thing he did say stuck with me:

'If Farage can stop all the bad stuff happening, I am prepared to vote for him - Starmer seems to get off on people suffering, Badenoch and Davey are clueless and Polanski is just a muppet.'

People have had enough of the shit this country is going through and, even if they don't like Nigel or Brexit, they are prepared to back him and Reform UK as they WILL stop the nonsense and return us back to a safe and common sense society where we don't make excuses for Rapey McRapeface and his/her 'sexual emergencies.' and Stabby McStabface for 'extreme anger issues.'

It reminds me of George Carlin and wants to make me have an 'involuntary protein spill'.

As for this Bongo Wrongo, chances are he's fled the country as he apparently expressed a determination to leave the UK. IF that is so, then adios and fuck off to him.

Wonder if some prat like Netanya Marie Smith or Simon Harris was funding him?

If that is true then lol. I don't care what happens to collaborators.
