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.

I'm in the camp that says in an ideal world, there'd be room for a few jews in the country. They don't generally do harm (I don't subscribe to the whole zog thing) and they keep to themselves. Unfortunately for that position, the reality we live in is not ideal and hasn't been for some time; and yes, some highly visible Jewish people do have to bear responsibility for the state we're in, alongside traitors from our own nation. The time for nuance and sentimentalism has passed. We have to completely reset. Anyone who isn't white British or more broadly north European (basically Scandinavia and the low countries) needs to leave

I'm in 100% agreement with all of this. I actually don't dislike Jews at all, and I would take Jews over Muslims as fellow citizens if I had to choose. That being said, I do understand where Steve Laws and his ilk are coming from when they just say "no, you can't stay, you have to go" to ALL non-English people because you're right, it's reached a point now where a total reset is needed. You can't argue the toss or split hairs at this point, that time has passed.

Pitch idea: A modern day Only Fools and Horses, but Rodney and Del try various different retarded NGO startups to get access to the literal billions that the government incinerates every year. Cassandra is murdered by a paki season 1, Grandad gets killed by the NHS, Rodney is arrested for being racist in a Greggs and Del eventually says he's a gay nigerian and wins millions.

Exactly right.

Unfortunately for us, the 2% control 98% of Commerce and Banking.

If we could control our own financial centres without Jews, then great, but whilst they still run things it's better to back them than to oppose them.

It's why I laugh at idiots who bank with 'Woke' banks - they are still controlled by the very people they claim to hate and despise.

It's probably both. I've never had the patience to sit down and listen him in full, but every time I've heard him, he's sounded arrogant and thick. Like prince harry.

Anyway, this is a news thread.

Man held after five people attacked in hospital

No need to play guess the race. They admit up front he's an Afghani.

Are afghans legit ever in the news for anything other than violent/sexual crime?

Did anyone watch/listen to Andrew Gold's interview with Steve Laws that came out this week? It was really weird (in a good way) for me to hear someone just say out loud, calmly, over and over again, "They all have to leave."

I don't think I've ever seen Gold come across as badly as he did in this interview, he was an absolute mess.

This was a truly jarring episode of Heretics. Andrew Gold definitely came off strangely, as he appears to become too emotionally involved to the point of being petty and standoffish. I think his plan was to bring Law on, completely dunk on him, and show others how stupid ethno-nationalists are, but this clearly backfired a little — despite the best efforts of Steve Laws — as he came off a condescending and annoying. However, Steve Laws definitely came off very badly, as he doesn't really have a sure ideological foundation for many of his beliefs, many of his arguments lack consistency, made far sweeping statements, and was caught blatantly lying at times. It would be interesting to hear a strong far right position from someone that doesn't come off as a football hooligan yob, but I imagine Andrew had him on precisely for that purpose.

I don't think I've ever seen Gold come across as badly as he did in this interview, he was an absolute mess. I've always thought he was just quite low IQ, because he uses very juvenile language a lot, but when I was listening to him talking to Laws it occurred to me that maybe he speaks like that because he thinks everyone else is stupid. Like he kept saying to Laws WRT mass immigration, "Look, I know it's scary" - he said it 5 or 6 times until Laws pulled him up on it and asked him what he meant and he said "Well it's scary when things change and if you feel scared then you look around for someone to blame." Absolutely retarded, embarrassing take and a failed attempt to be condescending. He also kept arguing that Jews are English because they've been in England since 1066; told Laws that he wasn't intelligent enough to make a good argument for remigration; and he eventually started gloating that the white race will be going extinct in the near future.
I think he was seething because Laws refused to back down and say "Oh yes of course you can stay Andrew, you're one of the good ones," he just kept politely telling him he'd be moving to Israel lmao.

Out of curiosity I just watched this and both of them came off as mouthbreathers imo. Neither one was able to articulate coherently, it was like both were low key begging the other to accept certain of each other's assumptions and argument gaps

Afghan man goes apeshit in a hospital waiting room and attacks five patients with a crowbar.

We've all done it!

I've spent 32 hours in A&E before. I get why he did it.

Case in point.

I promise you I have an actual impulsive irrational fear of the disabled and midges.

It's not irrational, mate. There's only one way to deal with them little buggers!

It’d help if they didn’t go to A&E for every cough and knee scrape, fucking yo the system for everyone else.

Likewise local GPs tbf.

Anyone who goes to A&E "just to get checked out" is a cunt of the highest order. If you're not bleeding out, showing signs of sepsis, running an abnormally high fever for multiple days, have an obvious fracture (and everyone should know how to check for one- do you have crepitus - that is, when you palpate the area, can you feel a crunchy crunchy thing going on? That's bone ends rubbing together? And is it impossible -not painful and sore, I mean literally impossible- to weight bear? You probably do and it needs an X-Ray, but you should go to a minor injuries clinic instead if possible), or a concussion? Yes you should go.

The above isn't exhaustive but so many people go to A&E and clog it up needlessly. Likewise, you will not get seen faster if you go in an ambulance. Don't send for one unless you need it. Can Granny get off the damn floor? Fucking well make her, then and get a sherry into her. That'll sort it.

We should start to bill people who visit A&E for minor issues, and we should start issuing fines for people so intoxicated they have to go to A&E. The legislation for that is already there, it's illegal to be intoxicated in public.

Honestly,I cannot advocate strongly enough for the benefits of knowing basic first aid and having a good first aid kit at home. I'd suggest supplementing it with alginate dressings too if you bleed a lot (you can get these from chemists). And another useful skill is being able to put on a digital dressing without an applicator because I swear to god mine is always bloody hiding on me when I need the wretched thing.

We're a nation of bloody infants and we're crippling the healthcare service. When it's privatised - not if, when- those reeing hardest will be those who abused it the most and I will laugh my arse off.

If you live in a home independent of your parents it is your responsibility to know how to care for yourself, and to be able to self advocate for yourself in a healthcare setting. And part of that means arguing where needs be with GP receptionists. The magic words are, "can I speak to the practice manager, please?" If they're not doing what you need then to do.

 

[Otterly]

People clog up A and E for stupid reasons but they also have nowhere else for things that need attention but aren’t emergency. We badly need more minor injuries type units. The sort of thing that can x ray a wrist after a fall, or test a sore throat for strep.
Charge 25 quid, and you’ll get rid of a lot of time wasters. Right now too much gets triaged through A and E.

 

[Filipenisfan420]

Having a pay at point of use system for the NHS will fail as long as we have jeet doctors. They'll mysteriously forget to charge their countrymen.
Oh and any white women drugged at a bar will be charged for being out in a skirt, therefore deserving it

No, I skipped it because I don’t like police informants.

A timely article from the Granuiad:
Huge rise in number of people in England’s A&Es for coughs or hiccups

[...]In the last five years, doctors saw almost 1.9m cases of people seeking help for a headache. Almost 1.4m A&E attendances in England from 2020-21 to 2024-25 were for a cough and 1.2m were for a sore throat.
One million A&E attendances were due to earache, according to the analysis. There were almost 69,000 A&E attendances for a blocked nose, 4,200 for hiccups and 290,000 cases of constipation[...]

I'm generally opposed to any sort of MAID, especially with the current retards in charge, but if you turn up to A&E for a headache they should absolutely be allowed to cure it with a shotgun.

 

[Cloaca Rimjob]

Was watching reruns of still game with the family over christmas instead of the shite on TV (there was some woke BBC comedy about a stinky muzzie whining about christmas) £1.90 a pint of lager on the pub board, felt like one of those fat americans that cry about the price of petrol in old films.

To be fair, they tell you to go there for anything. They have lines open with nurses who just seem to input whatever symptoms you tell them you have into ChatGPT only to conclude with the most obvious fucking answer "follow up with your doctor or go to A&E if you can't wait".

Watch live as New Zealand bring in the new year

Kiritimati (GMT+14), also known as Christmas Island, is known as the first place in the world to celebrate the new year.

GMT +14? GMT is +12 or -12.

It takes a full 26 hours for the whole globe to enter 2026, starting with Kiritimati - also known as Christmas Island - which is part of Kiribati at 10:00 GMT, and ending on neighbouring Baker Island at 12:00 GMT on Thursday.

Da fuq?

Reading through recent BBC articles and there's still a pattern of naming whites who have committed crimes and describing non-whites as "a man" or "a person of X age".
I suppose you can't notice the sludge committing crimes if you don't know they're doing it.

Speaking of:

Hospital attack suspect held under Mental Health Act

A man arrested after a crow-bar attack at a Merseyside hospital has since been detained under the Mental Health Act, police said.

Six people were injured after a man burst into Newton Community Hospital in Newton-le-Willows and assaulted six staff and patients.

The 20-year-old suspect, who police said lived locally and was originally from Afghanistan, was initially arrested at the scene on suspicion of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, affray and criminal damage.

For the noticers that have noticed that the BBC have upgraded the story from a crowbar kafuffle to a mental elf laughganistani:

The weapon used in the attack was being forensically examined and detectives were in the process of reviewing CCTV footage and speaking to witnesses.

Doesn't sound like a crowbar.

Merseyside Police said all the victims were treated in hospitals and walk-in centres for injuries including head lacerations, injuries to their hands and arms and bruising.
They were all reported to be in a stable condition.

"One woman was wrapped up and in a wheelchair being wheeled to an ambulance."

Victims were attacked in hospital but had to be taken to another hospital? How bad were the injuries?

INB4 he was on a watchlist or receiving treatment for being a deranged, stinking sandwog

Why? Police will do that with any weapon. The journalist is just making something normal sound weird.

I don't buy it, or believe journalists.
They make it sound like he went full Gordon Freeman because he was refused an appointment for his sadbrainophrenia at a walk-in A+E clinic.
