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’ve seen chats full of normies scoffing at the very concept of family voting. It just doesn’t compute.
How do you say “yeah, it’s because they’re all Pakistani Muslims” without sounding racist?

We just have to say racist stuff now.

 

[CaptainAutism69]

What's the difference though between a 'comminuty leader' telling people who to vote for, and the many 'tactical voting ' collusion sites?
Seems like a non-issue that was easy to avoid before letting unchecked immigration

 

[Smyrna]

How's that not-politically-alienating-the-whole-of-Islam strategy working out for you, Farage?

How do you say “yeah, it’s because they’re all Pakistani Muslims” without sounding racist?

You don't. If anyone considers it racist to point out what are now simple and self-evident truths, then they are at best not worth trying to convince and at worst an enemy.

All the normies I meet are racist. Might say more about me than the state of normies though.

Did regular Labour voters vote Green or did they not vote at all, similar to what happened to Conservatives?

Based on the final tally, it looks like it was mostly labour voters turning to the greens. The labour loss is almost identical to the green gain.

One thing that I think everyone agrees on is that this was a poll on Starmer's leadership (alongside the open acknowledgement of islamic sectarianism ohmygodimracist as a powerful political block), and he completely fucked it. It's a certainty that they'll lose the next election if he's in charge, so it's only a question of when the leadership challenges start. I'm going to guess rayner, streetiing, and powell all toss their hat in the ring. They've all been sounding out supporters in the unions and elsewhere.

A smart but risky move for him might be to force a by-election surreptitiously somehow and pander to the Islam vote heavily to show that they still have momentum, mandate, etc. Even if he loses it's just one seat, as long as nobody can prove he intended to try on this challenge. Of course I'm just being a backseat politician.

But it seems to me all the Greens have got going for them is a lack of shame, necessary to completely ignore native people and advertise in Urdu or Hindi. That's not something very special and it's something that Labour can do if they're pushed to the edge. Seriously, what Muslim would vote for a white woman who loves gays and Jews over one of their own in the Labour party?

This is why I think the Green party will always be a fringe party.

 

[Hitman One]

I can't be arsed with her really, but Rayner is the closest thing left to an actual Labour member at the top of the Labour Party. Streeting is another Oxbridge educated gaylord - attending either university should see you banned from high office.

 

[The Ghost of Sergei Witte]

Wouldn't have happened if they didn't let the Tory grifters in the tent

I found DAMNING video evidence that even the first member of Reform was a Tory Grifter...

Just a reminder to any remaining Tory Boys or Reform Sissies, these people WILL betray you.

 

[Ly Erg]

The SNP were ran by a person who is not Scottish and actively did not fight for Scottish independence. They were ran by a fucking jeet who openly talked about how much he fucking hated white people and the Scots specifically. The SNP are for Scottish independence as much as Labour is for the labourers.

Paki muzzie but I digress it doesn't matter in the end anyways.

New update: "Sectarianism" is a racist term now.

Nobody tell the Irish.

Rangers and Celtic most affected.

I will think we will see starmer have to be dragged out screaming. I do not see him leave willingly.

"I've seen normies you wouldn't believe.
Greens who want to destroy the green belt for cheap housing.
Tories who 'hate Pakis' but won't vote for 'that racist, Farage.'
Lib Dems who believe their party is the true nationalist party.
Reformists who decided on their vote before the end of 2024 and haven't paid attention to politics ever since.
OAP Labourites who namedrop Clement Attlee for why they still vote Labour."

"All those voters will be lost in time, like Greggs pastry in my hands."

"Time to die dine."

 

[Overly Serious]

So, is there going to be a pattern of the Greens winning, or is this like that George Galloway guy, where they win once, make a few headlines and then fade into irrelevancy? Did regular Labour voters vote Green or did they not vote at all, similar to what happened to Conservatives?

The site Electoral Calculus is saying that they are polling a big rise in Green Party support and that it is all coming from a drop in Labour support and a dab of Liberal Democrats.

So the Greens are cannibalising the Left but not changing the total amount of the Left leaning voters. Reform are still polling high nationally. However, I still think that is significant because it represents a polarisation and Islamisation of the Left. Whilst Reform are barely different to the Tories and honestly, I prefer the Tories as more under pressure to actually change things. Farage plays to lose.

I think it's neither of the things you list. The Greens aren't going away - they're going to over-state the significance of this for all its worth but not without some cause. Greens have always been held back by the idea that they could never outright win and you were wasting your vote. That limiter has just taken a knock. Labour have handed them this, frankly. But also, it's not going to mean the Greens sweeping the nation. I think they're going to displace the Lib Dems. Labour... I just don't know.

It's massively naive to me that anyone should think this doesn't happen. Many years ago a volunteer poll worker told me it was a full time job stopping the Pakistani men going into the booths with their wives to tell them how to vote. As far as these men were concerned having a wife just meant they got two votes and they were often not happy at being blocked from going into the booth with their wife. Not that I imagine many of the wives took the opportunity to vote differently than their husband told them but

Seriously, what Muslim would vote for a white woman who loves gays and Jews over one of their own in the Labour party?

They will in many cases vote for whoever their community leaders push. And if that's the Greens with a view to later take control of the Green party. Or use it as a stalking horse before standing some wider Islam party later, they'll do that.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

Honestly this is the best outcome.

The entire UK sees how uncomfortable a Green Party looks, Labour get pasted and Reform are told they need to cut out their MAGA lite style over substance people and actually run people who aren't Farage puppets. Bonus points are we get to see what happens when the first direct "trannies vs islamists" debate happens.

As far as accelerationism goes, this is genuinely the best result.

 

[Kofi Drinka]

Muslims do not vote. They don't fill out postal votes and they don't post them. They get them and go to their "community leaders" who fill them out and post it for them. They don't do politics the way white people do politics and people need to be aware of this.

Greens winning is just more radicalization. If you're into accelerationism you should be happy Restore VS greens is the future. It will be the start of a cold civil war if it happens. A power vacuum must be filled and no one wants to be in the (obviously not) center any more.

 

[fakemon]

Tories got properly fucked. They need to understand that a gap-toothed nigger, a sheboon that would be more at home in a zoo, is never going to appeal to whatever support they had left.

Greens winning is just more radicalization. If you're into accelerationism you should be happy Restore VS greens is the future. It will be the start of a cold civil war if it happens. A power vacuum must be filled and no one wants to be in the (obviously not) center any more.

Restore are a joke, they're trolling at best. If anything, they're there to legitimize Reform and undermine Britain First, who are the only credible party who have clear and consistent policies. Restore are just yet more state actors.

A new petition is pending to force UK Parliament to debate the influence of Jews in UK politics. It is missing about 7 thousand signatures until UK parliament is forced to address it (lol, no, is considered an addressing of the issue)

They should just shut this shit down. Has there ever been a petition, EVER, that did shit? Either shut it down or make it more like Switzerland referendums.

If we're going to be concerned about the influence a particular religion has in British politics and public life, judasim is the wrong one to start with.

Fell for the Jewish scam again. Religion is a smoke screen for Jewish culture and ethnicity. When you live in the lands of religious freedom you can mark up your hostile culture as a religion and get lots of legal protection. Too cheap to stun animals before you kill them? Well don't you worry son, it's just our religion to not stun animals before we cut their throats. Don't question is you nazi.
