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.

Every home should have two first aid kits. Please go buy one and support St John's Ambulance. They're £20 a pop and come with everything you need.

If you ever get a bad gash, use superglue to close the wound, it's what it was invented for. Or, if you're outdoors or in the shed, smash as many cobwebs in there as you can.

I had no idea about the cobwebs, that's fascinating.

I've ordered a couple, and a small one for my rucksack. On the subject of bleeding, those heavy duty sanitary towels are excellent too in a pinch.

Christ only knows where my kits have gone. I assume somewhere safe/ the Bermuda triangle.

Makes you wonder just how many they've "accidentally" let out over the years and how many are still officially counted as incarcerated.

Agreed - they know what they are doing, this is not all down to incompetency but rather more by design and planning... this wouldn't have happened with most normal lag's who are confined to cells for most of the day, this is a deliberate 'error' and if Lammy/the Government knew about it and did nothing to prevent it (or had orders from above them to not prevent it) then they are culpable.

How long now until another non white commits a serious act on par with Southport or Huntington?

The Not Very Hongorable Incoherent Oopsy Doodles Ooga Booga MP (Major Pillock) for Tottenham needs sacking urgently.

I've seen on YouTube s video saying under Labours watch it's over 260.

Not watched it, could be rank speculation but given the Court and Prison systems are infested with Mudslimes, I can absolutely believe it.

One of the best clotting compounds known to man. Volcanic ash works wonders as well, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I think tampons were invented as battlefield dressing, or sanitary pads, one or the other.

I'm glad to hear you've ordered first aid kits. Keep yourself safe and in immortal words of Jerry Springer: "Look after yourselves, and each other".

Christ only knows where my kits have gone. I assume somewhere safe/ the Bermuda triangle.

I have one in in the kitchen, for reasons you're probably understanding after the knife slip, one in the garage because screwdrivers don't play nice with hands and one in the car because you never know.

thats why they call it a gash

I'm all one for schizo tinfoil hat theories but I feel like this is just staff incompetence/bribery and not a nationwide conspiracy to release all foreign nonces because Lammy was informed about this before PMQs and refused to answer, its a huge fuck up and he knows it and he's too fucking stupid to work out how to claw back control of the prison system

 

[BongoMongo]

thats why they call it a gash

I laughed at that in an ugly, braying way. And then I remembered the naughty hedgehog song ("I've been thinking about your axe wound! I've been thinking about your flange!") and I think I bust something.

Pig of week. Thank you. I really needed that

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week

Anyone following the Axel Stabbybana inquiry? Currently the dad is blaming autism and the school and in denial about his son, completely failing to follow any behavioural recommendations the school made.
Even though he's admitted multiple times Axel was crashing out about his dead hamster, threatening pupils with hockey sticks, he's claiming his son was 'unfairly targeted' and says Dion (the brother) was only exaggerating when he told his friends that Axel had 'no mercy' and would likely 'kill his father'. The brother has admitted the parents would hide knives from Axel. It seems Dion was terrified of him and so were his fellow classmates. Every single agency and adult failed to lock this psycho up and lithium him into oblivion.

This one is my favourite so far.

Have they mentioned his islamification, radicalisation and name change?
Has his dad mentioned his links to rwandan genocides?

When are they bringing Aled Jones on as a character witness to discuss the pressures of being a Welsh Choir boy. Like who wouldn't want to grow ricin when pressured to hit top C

Why the fuck are the Crown Prosecution and Justice separate? Merge them. This is impossible for a small group to do and is purposefully made big to create a sense of grandiosity.

That's a terrible idea. At least, as it stands, you can get still a lawyer when the police go after you for saying "Nigger" on the Internet. Roll Justice into the same organisation, and you'll have the same people deciding you don't need one. Or access to your police interview.
I'm sure Starmer would love to do this.

Time was a Toblerone would have been a decent measurement but the way shrinkflation is going nothing is going to remain flattering anymore.

I’ll let you in on a secret, tea advent calendars.
Want to be thought of positively every day in December by that special someone? Tea advent calendar.

This already happens. Prosecutors and defending barristers on any given case often come from the same chambers. They can and will collude to lock up someone they've decided is a wrong-un, no matter the facts of the case.

I like the bit where his Dad was fuckarsing about playing The Karate Kid instead of being a fucking parent.

Is he really trying to claim,with his alleged extensive martial arts knowledge,he couldn't defend himself? Fucking seriously?

Whatever you do, do not ever say something worse than 'Nigger' or 'Coon' on the clearnet:

'D*ath to Trump' or (even worse) 'D*ath to Kavanaugh.'

Doing so will land you in a US Prison for 15 years - five for threatening the POTUS and ten (surprisingly enough) for threatening a DOJ.

Even if you do it in the UK, you won't be safe from a one-way Con Air flight to the Land of the Free from your local airport.

I asked in chat earlier why the discrepancies in the sentences given - I mean, surely it should be more time for threatening the leader of the free world than a DOJ... but I guess I'm a bear of little brain when it comes to understanding 'murican things like that.

The released migrants name is 'Brahim Kaddour-Cherif'
there is ANOTHER guy who was released by mistake - White guy, done for fraud, but why do I feel like this was only posted about to try deflect some heat away from migrant releases?

There are reports coming out that Lammy had statement prepared in case the second accidental release was raised at PMQs but he didn't use it. Also some whistleblower just told the Telegraph that the HO is letting in guys with sex offences

...as long as the offence for which they are being prosecuted does not merit a prison sentence of 12 months or more.
She cited a case where she said she was disciplined after refusing to approve an Afghan man’s application because he had been arrested several times for indecently exposing himself in a children’s play area.

She alleged caseworkers were under pressure to hit targets that incentivised them to approve more claims, and that applications from some countries, such as Eritrea and Sudan, were fast-tracked with less scrutiny than those from other nations.
She said even when asylum seekers’ applications were rejected by immigration tribunals, migrants could still make “further submissions”, often introducing new evidence such as psychiatric, sexual or religious claims, which delayed or prevented their deportation.

The whistleblower said caseworkers’ hands were tied by the rules, citing the Afghan arrested for indecent exposure. She said: “I said, ‘I’m refusing. He’s a wrong ’un’. And my senior manager said we can’t refuse an Afghan, we’ve got to grant. And I said I wouldn’t do it because a man who exposes himself in front of kids – well, where’s that going to end?
“And they said you’ve got to make the decision on the basis of the claim – he can’t be returned because he says he was politically active in Afghanistan against the Taliban.
“I was refusing that man because... I believed he posed a threat to children, but he was never going to receive a jail sentence for indecent exposure, he was just getting repeated warnings. So they gave his case to someone else who was prepared to say ‘yes’.”

SIGH. It's the fucking targets its always targets that make everything shit

I am just waiting for when Phillips leaks that she cares more about not being a racist fuckpig than protecting women.

Perhaps if she thought that not protecting women was more risky than defending Mohammed Al Rapealot-Khan she'd actually be doing her fucking job for once.

Good to know that some in the HO and elsewhere are now starting to spill the beans, more this happens the more people will openly revolt against the Government.

Never known a time where both Left and Right have despised a Government as much - not even Blair with the Iraq War and the dodgy dossier.

SEE!!! White people commit crime too. So why do you have a problem when brown people do it?

Fraud is bad as is most crime but raping children and sexually assaulting children is infinitely worse.

Sorry i missed this bit in the article.

She said rejected asylum seekers are able to make further submissions, often based on new information, even after their appeals have been rejected by an upper tribunal. They could change the basis of their asylum claim from risk of persecution due to their political beliefs to their sexuality or Christian faith, she claimed.
She said: “So for example, an Iranian will say, I’m claiming asylum because I was politically active against the regime. There’s no evidence to prove that, and we feel like it’s safe for them to return.
“Then they’ll lodge further submissions and say well I’m a Christian convert now. If there’s a live claim lodged, it’s a barrier to removal, and we still have to house them and fund them. Now, they’ll go through the whole process again till they get to appeal rights exhausted and they’ll lodge another claim to say: ‘Well, I’m homosexual now.’”
