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.

@Product Placement You sound like a fucking glowie.

As for the X thing, from looking online, there has been no evidence of it so far, and any test runs I have seen people do with Grok with a minor, Grok denies. Also, this is not CP; it is generative, and no one has suffered for it.

You are saying generative CP isn't CP and no one suffers from it? You fucking pedo.

Saw a tranny in the bus station today. Tight mini skirt. Moved into the line of sight between him and my kids, Paddington Hard Stared the cunt. Dirty bastards displaying their buffalo bills while I'm trying to take my kids to rugby.

At least the Darlington Nurses don't have to get changed in front of these freaks anymore. Next step, banning them from being perverts in public.

I saw an obese nigger woman punch a cop and the cops arrested her and she shouted (with her mouth full of KFC) she would sue them all for racism. Stupid niggers.

In 14 years labour are going to become the literal Nazi party? Well that's a prediction and a half.

The Nazi party were obsessed with wealth redistribution, to the point that surviving letters from industrialists of the day are in despair about it. The Nazis instituted price controls to deal with runaway inflation, they ran the state on corporatism where different industries all were made part of the government and they interfered with the running of businesses constantly, they had government funded job creation programs, welfare and socialised healthcare were big platforms of theirs. And they wanted to attack Russia. Which part of this doesn't sound like the dreams of the current Labour Party?

Mind you, they respected Islam and weren't fond of Jews much, oh wait...!

I saw a tranny in one of my locals last night. Skin tight dress, massive hands and over a foot taller than me (i'm 5ft10 for reference). Watching the barmaid slowly die inside as it kept trying to flirt with her was something to behold. Never seen someone go from genuine smile to forced smile without changing their facial expression.

I will give my "I saw a tranny" story. So now and then when popping to the co op I will bump into the same tranny on the same route. White, fried blonde hair in the style of Shirley Temple. Old man pedo style glasses, always a leather mini skirt and a fur collared coat, now to top it off.

A red beret with a hammer and sickle pin.

I am not joking either.

Sounds suspiciously like the one I've encountered a few times when needing to go into Barnsley Town Centre (a very rare occurrence but needs must) Although this one carries a Pink "Stitch " soft toy under his arm.

To poke my nose into this topic, I think that's why CSAM is a term nowadays as wronguns now draw or generate via AI noncey content. Both that and the real trash is CP, but only the real trash contains abuse.
While I haven't heard a peep about Grok doing that shit until governments started screaming about it, it won't surprise me at all as AIs are really easy to twist into ignoring their rules, but also there are LoRAs (basically just fine tuning to get an AI to do very specific things, such as specific characters or content) that people use for that purpose.

Tranny encounter tax: Last encounter I had was your stereotypical hon type (joys of having to visit a university). Crimson Chin jawline, linebacker shoulders, 6 ft+ height, ill fitting dress, facial hair, crappy dyed hair. The last one is especially funny, the hairdressers I've talked to have said that men can have really good quality long hair (something about natural oil composition if I remember right) if they take care of it and actually wash it properly.

And of course it was a tight mini skirt. Not dressed like an actual woman. He turned you and your children into a prop for his fetish. These people dont want to "just live their lives" they want to live their fetish.

It's fucking digusting and they should not be tolerated in public.

There’s one in our local supermarket who I only ever see hanging out in the dairy section for some random reason. Short (wayyyy too short for the public square) plastic miniskirt, high heels and I’ve had to give the kids the Paddington hard stare and distract becasue I could see them gearing up to say something. One of them happily pointed out THATS A BOYGIRL LOOK! HAHA THATS CURSED! A while back and while it was hilarious that’s the kind of thing that gets you in serious trouble.
At some point I’m going to have to have the ‘anyone dressed like that is a danger. Stay well away, say nothing’ talk, and that really pisses me off because it’s another little bit of innocence chipped away.

Gotta admit, your kids already knowing that they're wronguns, while horrifying (they shouldn't have to deal with this shit at their age, their biggest concern should be homework), is also funny. It's good to see that everyone of all ages understands that troons are freaks.

Out of the mouths of babes …
You can’t fool kids. They’re honest operators, and they have a sense of right and wrong that would put the inquisition to shame. I wonder where most of us lose that?
They also seem to instinctively know that this isn’t the same thing as Elliot’s little brother liking to wear princess dresses as a toddler. They can see it’s wrong.

The child view is that the world is just divided between goodies and baddies, and it's easy to figure out who is who. On TV they play the scary music when the baddies come on screen, and when you see a tranny at the supermarket they look like literal ghouls.

I think most of us get a bit older and say, no the world is a bit more complicated than that.

And then we get a bit even older and go back to actually the world is just divided into goodies and baddies and it's real easy to figure out who is who.

Someone with more time on their hands could knock up one of the "IQ curve" style memes on this if they want.

Yeah I think you’re right. It reminds me of that article ages back about some progressives screeching that Thomas the tank engine was facist. kids just like seeing wrongdoers get their comeuppance.

At the request of a fellow 'Farmer, I have started a standalone thread for Reform UK related stuff at:

Thread 'The Official Reform UK Thread'

At the request of a fellow Farmer, I am setting this thread up in order to keep the Reform UK 'mass debate' in one area rather than have it clog up the British Forum and to allow topics other than Nigel to be posted and commented on there.

All news about Reform UK by me is going to be posted here, from now on.

Tranny Story: Not seen one but did see a 'cross dresser' once - looked at him like he had just landed here from another planet. He said 'I'm a cross dresser, okay?' so I replied with 'can't you be a happy one instead?'

Well, yeah. I'm thinking maybe they're onto something. The whole "my opponents are ontologically evil and so any actions against them are morally justified" thing. It really frees you up to do things without having to stop every five minutes to scrutinise each action and make sure it doesn't compromise your own ethics and values. Also, you can save a lot of time by not wasting it trying to understand the perspective of the baddies. If these are the rules now, sure I'm on board.

One of the metro staff is a tranny and I always make sure to thank you sir him.
Big protests in London over Iran, from the embassy to the BBC. The Telegraph reports that Labours anti-Islamaphobia definition will lead to these protests being banned, interesting. Unarchived video of protestors singing the British national anthem.
