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.

That fucking film. I never watched it and thought optimistically that just maybe it was over-exaggerated and perhaps was criticising the subject matter a la Lolita or something. Then ShoeOnHead did a video of it and showed a clip with very large stars placed over parts of the screen and even that was enough to make me feel sick.

I brought that up with the recent Grok shit as everyone tried to act outraged over AI putting children into provocative "outfits", for a overly sanitised wording. Not a single person saw anything wrong with Netflix airing stuff like that because in one person's words, "if it was a real issue as many people would be talking about it as the Twitter stuff."

Yep, restrictions on high end graphics cards are definitely coming. It will be a sad day when I have to show the cex worker my gaming licence to buy a used 4060 ti.

Some states in the US are banning 3d printers that don't implement a magic (non-existent) algorithm to stop you printing guns. Wouldn't surprise me if we see that, lathe licensing, mill confiscations....

We already have telltale marks in printers. They’ll probably do something like that

Don't think I saw this posted yet, but Ben Habib threw a bit of a wobbly at the weekend:

https://xcancel.com/benhabib6/with_replies

Basically complaining that Rupert hasn't responded to him apart from the public post on X welcoming members of Advance to join Restore. Then he goes off about how Restore doesn't have a draft constitution, no details of how policy is drafted etc, and that it exists as a private limited company owned solely by Rupert, likens this to Farage, and reveals a private conversation that Rupert has previously told Ben that he (R) doesnt believe in a democratic political party. Ben leans heavily on democracy being the way out of this mess, and that the lack of democracy in the party is where Farage had gone wrong and will be Rupert's undoing. He then goes off about ethno-nationalist soundbites being made (although he does try to temper that by saying that he isn't suggested that either Rupert of the spokespeople are prejudiced based on skin colour), and how ethno-nationalism would tear the Union apart by separating English nationalists from Scots, Welsh etc nationalists. He ends by saying that if Rupert wants any sort of merger of membership, Rupert has to be clear as to what Restore's political position is, "don't be a clickbait merchant, adopt serious principled politics." He does recognise that Rupert probably doesn't want a merger, so is going to continue leading Advance.

He's then also gone on The Andrew Eborn show (no idea what this is) which resulted in this clip that Ben retweeted:

"At some point, the hand of friendship [to Rupert] has to be withdrawn"

Chocolate kept in anti-theft boxes as retailers warn it's being stolen to order

And who is doing the stealing and who is placing the orders and why don't the police care about the hordes of Romanians and pakis at the carboots with suspiciously new factory sealed products that are all just coincidentally being sold slightly below market value as if they want rid of them quick? Career crime like this sort of shit is another that is just inexcusable. The people who do this sort of shit do not belong in society and should be hung.

Even the Chinese can build roads, seemingly it's just the Perfidious Island Anglo where this is seemingly a technology lost to time.

No they fucking can't. All the chink roads are falling apart. Mostly intentionally. The ccp offers to build a road that they promise will generate a large amount of revenue, that project is purposefully underquoted in price, the ccp then tells the host country they need more money and that the ccp is investing half of the increased costs, host country can't pay that much, ccp says they will take payment in infrastructure. Now a load of specifically harbours in random countries are owned by the chinks in exchange for a road that no one needed and is falling apart. The b&rI is as much about investing in cars and trains as the osa is about protecting kids.

Man, I do feel for Habib, but he's clearly misunderstood Lowe's position.

Another genie out the bottle moment. Bear Grylls has learnt of the rape inquiry (the inquiry also recently released information regarding pakistani/brown police officers who were involved in the trafficking of these girls and even prosecutions of the girls).

Has he ever whined like this about Plaid or the SNP?

If not he can pound that sideways up his ass then bounce up and down in his chair.

Some of this stuff feels like it's made up, like the shit you'd find boomers mindlessly reblogging on facebook or twitter. I find myself hoping it is, because jesus christ otherwise.

I won’t say which city, not Rotherham, but I know a woman who was a social worker and who tried for a long time to get the police involved when gangs were taking the girls in her care from the home she worked in. I believe all of it.

That's the problem with modern day child crimes. You cannot tell people that 'groups of pakis kept white girls in dog cages to rape them' or 'there are entire paedophile rings on every major website promoting depraved fetishes and suicide' or anything like that. Every problem that involves children is so fucking outrageously evil that it is impossible to explain to anyone without sounding literally schizophrenic.

You try explain to anyone what 764 is. That thing that has a fucking fbi page dedicate to it which states it is a fucking terrorist organisation and is provably real and there is video proof of those crimes occurring exactly as described. You try telling someone that there are entire rings of paedophiles who try to groom roblox kids into having bnwo fetishes until they cut or kill themselves on livestream for the sexual pleasure of these faggots. You can't. You can't talk about this shit because it is simply just unbelievable. It's not even 'conspiracy theorist' 'strawman', it's even more unbelievable than that. If people refuse to accept the proven fact of pakis being more likely to be rapists just on it's own then how the fuck do you tell them any of this shit and get it to stick? The solution is you just fucking don't. You don't bother trying to tell them the details. We string every one of these rapists up in the street. These subhumans don't deserve a trial and an inquiry so we can inform the public. The public deserve to be informed at the gallows. People just do not want to accept that we live in a world with such evils, they want to believe that we are past such things, that any atrocities were left in the early 20th century and we've moved past such barbarism. The last atrocity committed by humanity was the holocaust and then we all said it was bad and wrong and shook hands and suddenly no one ever even thought of doing something bad on a large scale ever again. Even things that everyone agrees on, everyone says that yea the war in Ukraine is bad and a needless slaughter. And yet still I have spoken to people who just refuse to believe the realities of how horrific war in the 2020s is. The worst thing they can imagine is just a normal war or a normal rapist or a normal child groomer or that the worst the government can do is just stealing money, they cannot fathom that shit can and already does go beyond even the darkest shit they can imagine. They live such a fucking sheltered life and are just so retarded that the second anything questions how nice and cushy and safe their life is they refuse to confront or accept it and just brush it off as something that 'doesn't' happen. I've had conversations with people before who told me that I was just 'biased' or 'unlucky' when I told them that I have never met someone who didn't have a paedophile at school. They don't want to consider the reality that most schools employ at least one paedophile, they'd rather pretend that it doesn't happen. Stick your fucking head in the sand and just hope nothing bad happens to you. I do not see a way to force these people to accept reality short of them watching the heads of these rapists roll, even then I have doubts with some of these people but even if they don't accept it as reality the rapist is dead so hopefully that exact reality dies with them.

I know it's probably counterintuitive to say after mentioning 764 and those sorts of things but I think growing up back in the days where you would just see horrific gore randomly on the internet for no reason is at least partly responsible for why I'm not some sheltered faggot who refuses to accept these things as reality. I've seen how evil people can be so it's no surprise that this shit is real.

Yes and No.

There will be women who lie about it happening to them, when it didn't. They will make outlandish claims because it brings them more attention. Any rape movement will have a host of fakes and schizos joining in. You have to be very careful with any sexual abuse claims because it's so easy to weaponize it.

The powers that be will insert as much bullshit and urban legend as they can. Look at any of these events like Epstein happening right now. All of them involve really weird details no one would believe without hard evidence. There are stories from young abused boys saying the UK political class used to take rent boys, kill them and eat them. If I remember right, there was evidence to back up the rest of their story that made sense for everything except cannibalism and satanism. Does any one remember the case?

Girls are being drugged up and transported by vehicles. Maybe some in cages. But I don't know of any vans you could fit 20 dog cages in. Even if you had multiple girls to a cage you would seriously struggle for space. So it's likely a true story but the numbers are inflated. It's that exact kind of minor change that makes the narrative easy to hand wave away.

You try explain to anyone what 764 is.

Maybe if you're severely autistic. I've told plenty of people about 764. "There are groups online that groom children into self harm, suicide and sexual abuse. Often recruiting other children to abuse further victims and getting videos of it. They use Discord, Roblox, Minecraft and other games, so you need to monitor who your children are talking to". They don't need the full details. Trying to get too deep only puts them off.

What pisses me off is when Boku Haram or whatever the fuck the nigger group was called kidnapped a bunch of girls there were national protests and demands to get them back. Kelly from the close is raped, tortured then turned into a kebab and everyone knows it and nothing is done. We're a country that's primary justice form is opening an inquiry that never publishes any actual results. And then an inquiry into the inquiry happens because it turns out Muhhamad Epstein was a bent copper running the first inquiry to begin with.

Regardless of what he says, never, ever listen to a word out of Grills' mouth. He's a shyster, a liar and a fraud who would send people to their deaths for his fifteen minutes of fame. He's lucky that the one man who make his career evaporate, has no love for, or want to be on TV.

Redpill me on Bear Grylls

Redpill me on Bear Grylls

He drinks his own piss, sleeps in hotels instead of in trees like he claims and.. Well basically that. He's a reality TV star who pretends he's a wilderness hunter. It's all reality TV and he's in it for the cash.

 

[Duane Dibbley]

Redpill me on Bear Grylls

None of his shows are real, and worst of all, the advice he gives is exactly what not to do in a survival situation.
His tv show was flashy and the normies fell for it, thinking it was real and how to handle yourself if you get in trouble. It is not.
Living in a camel, running down a sheer cliff, eating dead spiders, all of this is fucking retarded advice.

He used camera angles and camera trickery to make it look like he was making huge leaps across chasms, yet the cracks were inches wide. His popularity pushed Ray Mears into the background and then, for some reason, people started to believe that Mears' was the phony (I have autistically corrected people IRL).

Grills rise to fame was made on the back of Mears telling the BBC and media to go fuck themselves, catalysed by the events of Raul Moat. Grills stepped in to take up the 'survivalist wild adventure' slot on TV.

There aren't many celebrities I'll go to bat for, but Ray Mears is a national treasure and one of the greatest humans alive. He takes ancient, millennia old techniques and reintroduces them to tribes who have long lost their way.
I'm a cold hearted, bitter, miserable cunt, but watching Ray choke up on camera after saying Good-Bye to the tribe he had been welcomed into, watching the kids of the rainforest learn how to make fire for the first time in 3 generations, or teaching his techniques to the son of a Polish war veteran to show him how his parents survived in exile evading Nazi's, well that shit brings warmth into my blackened heart.

Fuck Bear Grills. He hasn't the skills, desire or ability to do what Mears' has and he's a mouth-piece, pro-vaccine, tranny cock sucking faggot who only practices whittling to shove larger and larger logs up his fucking arse hole. Cunt.

MATI?

I got hecking choked up when the white man helped the little brown people who looked just like me. And then he even fought off the hecking nazis and helped a (((polish))) man reclaim his grandma's lamp shade skin!

He was on TV hosting a series 5 years ago. He didn't get kicked off TV at all and that's long after the survivor fad ended.. Did you cry over the little yellow boys he fed rice?
