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.

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.

Yes, and if they call you 'Hitler' say 'yeah, that's my name.'

Done it a few times, it shocks them - it's a bit like the old Jasper Carrott joke of inviting Jehovah's Witnesses into your house to have a chat; they are so used to having the door slammed on them that being invited in is alien to them and they don't know what to do.

'You're Hitler!'

'I know I am!'

'Nooo, you're meant to say you aren't and I'm meant to scream at you for an hour...'

'Well I don't have an hour to waste, Heil Ho Silver Lining or whatever...'

Whilst I'm no fan of some of the more 'asinine' protests and the action of the protestors, the Government banning them is going to backfire. It's the same as thinking that your enemies won't attack you if you ban them - they are more likely to do so and use ever increasing violent means.



Saw this on the socials - a protest in Dewsbury yesterday.

Oh, the irony - who are more racist and rapey than the Left?

We have to be far more concerned about our children adopting dangerous hate opinions, such as "immigration is too high", than our children being groomed and raped by Pakistani peadophile gangs. As the glorious leader Starmer will tell you, children can survive being raped by muslim men, but they cannot survive being politically incorrect in modern Britain.

Trust the propaganda, obey the nonce regime, surrender your free will to the "multicultural societal good", OR ELSE!

 

[Goose the Redeemer]

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.

CSAM is "virtuous paedophile" type shit. They don't think that what they're doing is abuse (y'know, because they ask the toddler for "consent" first) and they don't think that there is anything inherently wrong with being sexually attracted to children, so they try to push this distinction in the same way that "hebephiles" do. It isn't new but the AI-gen issue provides a great opportunity to go full steam.

It is? I wasn't aware of that, thanks for letting me know. Mind you, both sorts are fucking disgusting and should be met with execution.

 

[SirCliveSinclairdabbing]

Yes, they need to be kicked out, but as many have asked before how we do it and achieve it is the question that everybody seems to know the answer to - except those answers need to be workable

Remove the benefits starmer put in place.
No nhs support for the cost of cousin fucking just like they don’t support alkys still drinking.
2 child benefit cap.
Massive increase in money laundering crackdown including rewards for information. Barbers/vape shops.

You don’t have to pay to change push/pull factors.

 

[Mound Dweller]

I feel that drumpf going full imperialist unironically is gonna have some real impact here, electorally.
Most people couldn't care less about amerimutt politics, and rightly so, but the special relationship openly becoming an abusive one where even the PM blatantly kowtowing isn't enough anymore will rub a lot of people the wrong way. Anti-americanism has always been a strong undercurrent (especially for leftoids) but it's almost always been in the context of sucking up to russia/chyna, nobody ever really liked the US having bases here and telling us what to do but we were allies, not anymore that pill has been thoroughly poisoned now.

Telling the yanks to fuck off might be the next Brexit style shock is what I'm thinking.

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.

There are quite a few transgenders at my university, they are mostly FtM however.

Oh, the irony

The irony is that dewsbury has a higher percentage of pakis than bradford. To get the racists and rapists off those streets would leave the town empty and I'm all for that.

Dewsbury is the only town I know of that doesn't have a Mcdonalds. It did, but couldn't make money and shut down.

Pooners annoy but dont frighten me.

There's two Troons who work in Spoons (kek) near me. They look like long haired men but thankfully wear pronoun badges so we know to call them mate/pal/boss everytime we order.

Teaching kids "don't go near men who dress like that" as mentioned upthread, chips away at their innocence. Pooners just look like sad dykes.

 

[Clem Fandango]

I feel that drumpf going full imperialist unironically is gonna have some real impact here, electorally.

The last few weeks has been nuts, feels like it's really ramping up. The Sunday Telegraph today had the headline "Trump declares economic war on UK over Greenland". It's getting to the point that I wouldn't be that surprised to see a real US declares war on Europe headline, which yeah, wasn't on my 2026 bingo card.

Are you referring to the term 'CSAM'? Child Sexual Abuse aterial is prefered terminology by law enforcement, campaigners, etc, because 'child porn' has been deemed to sound too close to porn (which is legal) and doesn't convey how horrific both it and the people who consume it are.

Anti-americanism has always been a strong undercurrent (especially for leftoids)

Anti-Americanism has always been a strong undercurrent in theory, not in practice. Our left wing (especially the youths) COMES from america, it's all from American dominated online spaces, american trends, american slang and terms- whether 'true socialists' or social media leftists, all of it, in some form, comes from Americans. It's an interesting hypocrisy and one I've never been able to fully verbalise or get my head around. Unironically, the left wing needs to have a nationalist (BRITISH) revival.
Get rid of the yank bases, justice for Harry Dunn.

 

[femboy fart huffer]

This is a thought ending statement and I'm very sick of seeing it. What percentage do you see? What's the actual acceptable immigration for you? Because right now, even if we stop them coming in, they breed like rats and they will need to be kicked out. Getting all of them in the literal sense may not be possible, but creating a hostile atmosphere which gets 99% of them, or 98% of them sure is. They need to go, all of them need to go; but sometimes you can't get what you need, so you do as much as you can. What do you think we can do.

They all need to go. It will never be all, but statistically all. There's always going to be some but as long as the number is lower than the margin of error that's fine. Like that one retarded reddit meme about Finland not existing because it's population is lower than the global margin of error. But just, real.

Back in the 50s the world came together and fucking nuked mosquito populations to the point of near extinction. Not fully extinct but basically eliminated malaria from the majority of the world. And then after doing 99% of the job they simply just gave up and stopped. And then the mosquitos made a massive comeback and obviously are no longer anywhere near extinction.

Weird fact to go with the rant: In 2024 nearly 4'000 of those crossing illegally by boat were Vietnamese.

A massive amount of chinks and people coping that they aren't chinks are doing the same in America too. There's hordes of them that get a plane to brazil or something like that and then walk up through Central America and into the usa. Problem is that it requires walking through the Darien Gap, something naturally more dangerous than trying to swim the channel and now the added threat that the entire region is full of cartel activity that extort all the people or just murder them for sport.

And if you asked your average 19 year old private or seaman if he wanted to patrol the southern beaches with a big ass machine gun, he would start salivating at the chance to LARP as Captain Price. We can stop the boats.

Can we not be ageist you faggot. What you think the desire to go fully semi automatic vanishes when you're 20? You think that just because I'm older I don't want to go well cartel in the Darien Gap mode but for the Channel?

I wonder where most of us lose that?

School. Somewhat obviously. How many times did you get things like 'several times on purpose' drilled into you. The entire start of school isn't about teaching you things it's just about trying to get everyone to neatly fit into the same old wall that old Floyd sang about. Don't be mean to people and don't say nasty things and don't this and don't that. I remember getting in trouble several times as a kid because someone punched me and I punched them back and that isn't telling a responsible adult. One time I was walking home from school and there used to be these two kids that would try start shit with me, one time I told a teacher about them and they got in detention and nothing happened. Then another time one of them tried to start shit without his mate and I just kicked the shit out of him and that was the end of it entirely. There were certainly just sadistic bullies who liked to fuck with people but they never really changed. They stayed the same and now all of them are locked up. But all the times anyone in my childhood got told off for bullying it was mostly just someone reacting to someone else starting shit. There was one cunt who would constantly try start fights with us and all that lot but if we ever said anything to him he'd run off crying to a teacher to try get us in trouble. Don't be a bully is just the kid's version of the police calling you a racist for a facebook post. School and kid's tv shows. Every show looks like if the person in charge of dei hires took acid before going to work.

'child porn' has been deemed to sound too close to porn (which is legal) and doesn't convey how horrific both it and the people who consume it are.

Nah csam is the opposite, it's legal speak to stop outrage. He didn't rape a child and later distributed child porn, he abused a minor and distributed csam. It's just trying to get people to stop using terms they are inherently familiar with so that when the csam owner gets off with a suspended sentance then the public is less likely to instantly react. They're not minors they're children. It's not csa it's rape. It's not csam it's child porn. Same way as it's paedophile not map. It's just trying to use other terms to make it more palatable for the general public.

As for tranny stories this one will always be my favourite I have.

About as interesting as this place ever gets really.

can you even walk on sand with those knees old man?

Another defection to Reform in the works - MP Andrew Rosindell, Conservative for Romford.

Despite everyone calling GBPolitics a faggot (he is), who was making shit up (he does), Andrew Rosindell has, in fact, defected to Reform.

 

[femboy fart huffer]

Smh the south of England is just the cliffs of Dover and those are made out of that like solid sand rock type shit.

CSAM sounds like a sanitised government buzzword term for it so it makes it slightly harder for people to get angry about. I swear if the uniparty drive keeps on going it'll be eventually changed to something even more sterile like Alternative Sexual Material, so when Terry Todger gets found with 14 bazillion terrabytes of it and gets a 3 month suspended sentence for it, people won't burn his house (which is taxpayer funded, but that's another story) down.

Whenever I hear someone say "It's REALLY strange how SOME people get SO angry over CP, I wonder what's on THEIR hard drive" I want to take a belt sander to their face and genitals until they grasp that the only humane punishment for a nonce is a length of rope.

 

[Cho Chang's Granddad]

About the Darlington nurses I haven't read too much into it (there's a case like this ever 3 months and it gets old quickly) but after seeing specifically what parts they won and lost on the "win" seems similar to the "win" Sandie Peggie received and the "win" that fat nigger woman got over Stonewall.

Basically the court ruled it was the hospital and only the hospital who harassed them, NOT the trans women (same with Sandie Peggie, Dr Upton was completely cleared and it was ruled only the NHS harassed her). And the fat nigger woman won on 1 tiny point against her employer which was nothing at all to do with Stonewall who were completely cleared.

This is how most of these cases go lol. After spending millions and millions worth of donations and funding from JKR and multiple appeals they win on a small point somewhere but it's nothing to do with trannies or tranny allies lol

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

It's so over. I cannot believe Reform went from a position where they'd win a complete majority if the election was called a month ago to a party that accepts any fucking brown person that doesn't have the UK in any of their own self interests.

They should. Massive doses of testosterone will turn a woman into a terminally violent mental case who shouldn't be allowed to hold anything sharper than a tory politician.
