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.

A 25-year-old woman in the UK just made legal history with the country's first-ever "cyber-farting" conviction.

Rhiannon Evans sent a string of video messages to her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend—starting before Christmas and running right through New Year's.

In each clip, she placed the camera right on her backside and let one rip, calling it a deliberate, ongoing prank.

Prosecutors described the videos as "inappropriate" and "grossly offensive," landing her a charge under malicious communications laws.

She pleaded guilty in court, admitting she did it to back up her boyfriend—she thought the ex was treating him unfairly.

Rhiannon smirked through the whole hearing, saying she found it hilarious, but the victim sure didn't.

The ex told the court the relentless videos left her feeling distressed and unsafe even in her own home.

Evans got hit with a 12-month community order, nearly £300 (~$400) in costs, 15 mandatory rehab sessions, and a 60-day alcohol abstinence period since she was drunk when she recorded them.

Britain's courts just dealt with a case no one saw coming—petty revenge taken to a whole new level.

Dr Donald Grant, a GP who practises in a Welsh NHS surgery, said reported cases had risen steadily in recent years, with figures "massively exceeding" pre-pandemic levels.

The British Association of Dermatologists said scabies was still incorrectly perceived as a "medieval disease" and that breaking down the stigma was important.

Weasel words making it somehow pandemic connected. Scabies is a disease of poverty and poor hygiene and close living conditions and the reason it’s rising in incidence is mass immigration and people living twenty to a house

Sparkhill is a fucking shithole. Like BEYOND shithole. Ive said before i have a rule where I judge if a place is truly shit if the local women don't walk around by themselves, but Sparkhill is on another level of shit because they don't even let their women out the house. You'll understand why Denmark breaks up their enclaves and ghettos after driving through. If this wannabe councillor isn't struck off for making terroristic threats against churches we are finished.
Tram stop Noticings, all the posters for the WMM metro and adverts have ambiguously coloured people figures or tans/browns if they depict people. The poster for the homeless shelter? White

I can confirm, had to do a research piece on Sparkhill for uni on "community" and coming from someone who has been to Jackson, Mississippi. It makes Jackson look nice. Sparkhill would be better off glassed, with its residents there.

Otterly is absolutely correct, when examining scabies cases, 10/10 they are from the poor or people who are dirty. It's also prevalent with jeets because they bathe in shit.

Why is this stupid story written by AI? It's not that fucking hard to type out the stupid details.

Also, if my boyfriend's ex kept sending me videos of her farting I'd laugh at her for being weird, possibly show them to friends and family so they could laugh too. If for some reason I started finding it upsetting, I'd block her.

If she wasn't threatening me or harassing me in person, I wouldn't go to the police. It's videos of farts, it's bemusing at most.

Rwanda has filed an international arbitration case, arguing the UK has breached the terms of the deal to send some asylum seekers to the east African nation.

Key Aspects of International Arbitration Cases:

• Procedural Phases: Initiated by a Notice/Request for Arbitration, followed by the constitution of the tribunal (often 3 members), exchange of memorials, hearings, and issuance of the final award.
• Case Examples (Recent/Significant):
  • Webuild S.p.A. v. Chile: A $147M construction award dispute involving enforcement battles in Canadian courts.
  • Yukos Universal Limited v. Russian Federation: Long-running investor-state disputes regarding the expropriation of assets.
  • Trafigura v. Zambian State Entity: A $82.8M commodity dispute over a guarantee, handled by the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA).
  • Chevron Overseas Finance GmbH v. Denmark: Investor-state dispute handled by the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA).
• Common Forums: The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the PCA-CPA (PCA), the ICSID - World Bank (ICSID), and the LCIA.
• Key Issues: Enforceability under the New York Convention, arbitrator impartiality, and the finality of awards.

Cases often focus on commercial disputes between private companies or treaty-based claims by investors against host states.

So in other words, traitor Starmer will respect the outcome, pay the inevitable claim ( with our money ) and then blame the Conservatives.

You can get the same from looking on the front page of the Reform rag - GB News. Bookmark it, and check daily...no difference. Now if he had anything of substance to add or say, I'd agree with you, but he's just doing this in word form (taken from the website named after the thing you crave).

How do you get convicted as a terrorist and still get to remain in the country let alone run for election? "Oops, he was a terrorist but he's a good boy now"?

His conviction is over 20 years old. He's also running to 'push-back against the far-right' which is incredibly suspicious. If he was only focusing on ''making the streets safer'' and ''keeping kids out of gangs'' he wouldn't even need to mention the supposed far right. just nuke this city already

stigma this stigma that, don't make people feel bad for contracting easily preventable diseases. You'd never hear these people saying 'Lets break down the stigma of getting COVID guys', or AIDS.

The Government has proposed reforms to the Vet industry due to high prices. Please note these guys top themselves at a fucking alarming rate already so expect whatever is introduced to Parliament to be U-turned on. (PL: knew a ton of farm vets. they were all fucking each other and spreading clap that they treated with sheep antibiotics. they were also very passionate about cheese. disturbing folk)

 

[evrae]

Fellow BritFarmers, I had a dream last night that I bred pet bumble bees. Massive ones that were kept on leads. What does it all mean?

I had one where Starmer suddenly decided to step down and do a Budd Dwyer on telly. The dream was damn realistic so I woke up and checked the news. Disappointed to see that hasn't happened.

Been playing too much Minecraft recently?

Bees (and butterflies) are very important and everyone should do their part to help. You don't need to go all in on turning your garden into a bee paradise, but you should prefer plants and flowers that are actually native instead of going for whatever looks the prettiest. And, as much as people hate them, dandelions are an important early food source and a lot of the other common garden "weeds" are also quite beneficial. I've got at least four different bee species that visit my garden every year and plenty of butterflies, but everyone thinks that I'm mad for not genociding the dandelions...

I dun play Minecraft. Didn’t know that about the dandelions though, that’s good to know. Between my back yard and the neighbour’s, we have buddleia and some sort of wild purple flower that grows on spikes that the bees seem to really love, so that stuff stays no matter how wild it grows. Helps with our fruit trees, too.

I have a bumblebee that nests in the airbrick at the front of our house. Wakes me up at sunrise each spring and summer morning with his/her farting around, it’s the cutest sound. I hope for many more baby bumbles this coming year.

Sparkhill is a fucking shithole. Like BEYOND shithole. Ive said before i have a rule where I judge if a place is truly shit if the local women don't walk around by themselves, but Sparkhill is on another level of shit because they don't even let their women out the house. You'll understand why Denmark breaks up their enclaves and ghettos after driving through. If this wannabe councillor isn't struck off for making terroristic threats against churches we are finished.

This sounds like most of Brum tbh. Wasn’t the city forecast to be majority non-white by 2020? I’m sure the native pushovers will explain it away as the locals just voting for the people that represent them. How people can be so short sighted is beyond me.

Jesus christ.

I don’t think he can help much. In fact, I think he’s probably down whatever pub is left still functioning, with a well-earnt pint, washing his hands of the whole thing. Can’t say I blame him.

stigma this stigma that, don't make people feel bad for contracting easily preventable diseases. You'd never hear these people saying 'Lets break down the stigma of getting COVID guys', or AIDS.

That’s where you’d be wrong. There are absolutely groups pushing to cancel the stigma of being HIV+/AIDS. There was a story linked on here not so long back with some cross-dressing idiot saying exactly that. “It’s just HIV, sweetie”. They can take a tablet for it now, therefor they can carry on fucking whoever whenever with no care in the world, and cancel anyone who dares to say otherwise for being trans and queerphobic.

Some may say it’s a self-solving problem.

I had one where Starmer suddenly decided to step down and do a Budd Dwyer on telly. The dream was damn realistic so I woke up and checked the news. Disappointed to see that hasn't happened.

Goddamn it, I hate it when dreams like that happen.

 

[Made In Wales]

Sparkhill, Duddeston, Alum Rock are literal shit/hell holes where infestation is rife.

The biggest rats there are the politicians (mostly Asians weirdly enough).

With 99 days to go until the Senedd Election, whilst Wales Online have asked 'why haven't Reform UK got a Welsh leader' (there's an announcement due next month about who that person will be - no, it's sadly not going to be me) they have today mentioned a story which will bury Eluned Morgan a lot sooner than May 7th:

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/four-words-uk-government-dismissed-33316233

Rhun, to give him credit, is right - she is totally powerless and when Shabbaranks Moomoo (or whatever she's called) dismisses Wales and its leader in that manner then there is no going back.

There's now calls to prorogue the Welsh Parliament earlier as a protest against Starmer - no business will be done in the Senedd, but hey that's nothing new.

I'm surprised by her admitting this

Certainly I think it's true to say both anti-Semitism in particular and also anti-Muslim hatred

Who's doing the Jew bashing Shabana, who?
