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.

Prepare for beetroot.....
Mine was £175. For the year. For a pretty reasonable car too, not an old banger. This is the first year in a decade I didn't haggle for a better deal.

one of the few good points of being old. sports car £250 quid per year , Aston £450. get in.

There's your battlefield. That's what Ukraine looks like right now aside from normally the buildings are a lot closer to rubble than this. Every single one of those wires is a fiber optic cable used for a drone to prevent radio jamming.

I was talking to someone at Ford years ago and he mentioned that it's going to be worth mining the soil at the side of major roads. Since every car has x grams of platinum in the cat and they all lose a little bit as the engine runs , the first 30ft of every motorway/major road embankment is just sucking up all of these precious minerals.

Well the Ukrainians are getting blanketed in thousands of tonnes of high grade glass.

Wasn't Jenrick meant to end Rachel Reeve's career at 8:30 this morning? I take it this was a complete nothing burger?

At least you’ve got guns …we have only sarcasm

I am an Eternal Anglo who moved to NZ. I only have guns when I'm the US, which is also the only place where my accent is sexy.
In NZ all I have is a cricket bat, but it's a proper willow one capable of removing a jawbone at 3 feet.
I used to be able to spinbowl a jawbone at much more that that, but age catches up to us all. These days I enjoy the option of shooting kids on my lawn.

Rumours circling that Kier is looking to oust Streeting as Health Minister next week, and that Reeves will be exposed at 8:30am tomorrow morning by none other than Jenrick.
take both of these with a pinch of salt

Turns out it's just a video showing that Rachel Reeves occassionally hangs out with some Muslim fella who does a bit of the old anti-semitism. I'm guessing he's one of those "community leaders" that seemingly only the Pakistanis have

I’m not sure why but I saw this on the news this morning, and laughed out loud. It’s just such a weird, hilarious juxtaposition with the horror.

Well it's properly fucked up my plans I can tell you that much. I've got some take it or lose it time off work and was planning a get away, visit a few places I had on my wish list. I have a gut feeling we're going to see at minimum a bunch of stabbings and van attacks in response to this. I don't fancy being on a train with a knife wielding wog running at me. Thanks to mass disarmament the best thing you can do is hide in a loo and hope he doesn't have a bomb on him.

The UK is still a world leader in terms of influence and soft power. If we didn't elect utter twats everyone hates (isn't 2 decades of that enough?) we could be up there with America in influence. The British name still holds respect and there's always ways to use it. We're quality, and people know it and will respond when we stops ending wankers to them and fix ourselves.

I don't understand why anyone thinks a party who thinks "HE DID A RACISM!" is the worst charge a person can face will sort out immigration.

The entire of the Labour party was openly antisemitic under Corbyn. They're being propped up by Islamists. They covered for rape gangs.

How is any of this a revelation?

I bet the Tories are glad he fled their sinking ship.

While it's not groundbreaking like 'she fucks puppies, we have it on video', and sadly it's to be expected, it's pretty horrific that she's confirmed buddy buddy with a radical extremist. Just furthers how lost we are as a country ig. Jenrick is a fucking idiot though, regardless.

RAF confirms it was a drone strike last night on Cyprus (archive is down). The Iranian chain of command is apparently broken and commanders/soldiers are acting on their own accords, so this was likely just some retard goatfucker launching shit he otherwise wouldn't have (ditto to all the Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan etc strikes). It's still an appallingly weak response from Kier, especially in regards to the defence of Cyprus, Qatar, etc. The Saudis are dropping edits of how their planes will bring Allah's wrath onto the Iranians for God's sake.

Probably the least bad thing any MP might have done. cf David Cameron and the pig.

The default frame makes him look so retarded but this is amateurish. The sort of thing you see on youtube. And it's typical uniparty bullshit. "Don't vote for THEM, they're BAD PEOPLE. Vote for us. We're for YOU" and there's never any actual You they're for. One of the reasons Restore is looking so good is they're not making stupid videos of twats hopping on 1 leg saying "look, she's friends with a Muslim!" They're laying out plans and objectives they want to achieve. Putting resources into things the public can see and understand instead of playing these stupid games. No one gives a fuck if she's friends with a Muslim because the entire thread and every politician seems to be. They're all fucking terrorists and the only good thing about them is they hate Jews. It's the pot calling the kettle black yet again. When they're all big black fucking niggers we need rid of.

Why does Robert Jenrick look like a lizard poorly wearing a skin suit? He'll start blowing raspberries the second you say "I don't care about this, I don't care about Israel, can you fix the fucking pot hole please?"

2 men and a woman have been stabbed near Sighthill school in Edinburgh. Alleged picture of knifeman. Video.

You might be the only person I’ve heard say they lived in Dubai who I think is normal and decent.

Most people who live there are already, or turn into cunts. They get more cash then they ever had at home and think that makes them someone, then they get loans or creditcards to keep up the rich person lifestyle, lose their job and then cry to the Daily Mail when they are put in jail for defaulting on their loans.
Women (solid 3's back home), act like they have a golden pussy because Arabs will fuck anything, and treat them to expensive shiney things in exchange for some slotting.

Looks like some kinda kerfuffle in a shop.

Scottish sun have this photo in their article about it (archive)

Looking like a jolly skeletor.

idk lets ask Made in Wales.... oh wait.

Two more drones have been intercepted at RAF Akrotiri. I won't post every single UK related Iranian fuckup but Kier could be in for a shitton of questions as the base doesn't have reliable bomb shelters (despite being in the Eastern med) and the orange man is very disappointed with Kier. He will likely use this as a distraction to reshuffle or do some more U-turns while no one is looking.
EDIT: Greece is sending two warships and says they will defend Cyprus 'at any cost'. Sort of embarrassing if the Greeks are taking it more seriously than us. This tweet made me wonder, is this how he really thinks?


That fag at GBPolitics says Andy Burnham has been trying to persuade a Labour MP to stand down, he allegedly offered Marie Rimmer a peerage if she gave up her St Helens South seat and he became PM. I think it's extremely weird this guy is like 15 years old and keeps getting rumours leaked to ''his team'' however some of his stuff proves true so keep an eye out.

Did Kier know these strikes were coming though? His response looks like that of someone with no forewarning of what was happening (having a good old COBRA meeting and then doing a press conference saying "British jets are in the skies"). Maybe The Donald didn't bother to phone him up the night before, since he wasn't letting him use the Chagos base for Iranian strikes anyway (since u-turned, of course)?

 

[Heinrich Maneuver]

Did Kier know these strikes were coming though?

I can't find the release right now but the MoD said that it appears the drone strike was launched about an hour before Keir's speech that the UK was not getting involved (paraphrased), so no he couldn't really have known it was coming, but he shouldn't look like he's been caught stealing from tescos bakery.
Dhekelia is being evacuated at the minute.

Edinburgh stabbing is now an armed standoff with police.

News reports he tried to get into a nursery and a school before he went to the shop. So literally another southport that was only prevented through luck or turning our children's places of learning into a prison.

Wonderful country we live in. Send your kid to nursery and get them butchered by foreign men who shouldn't be here.

I hope Restore goes in with both barrels.

 

[Duane Dibbley]

so this was likely just some retard goatfucker launching shit he otherwise wouldn't have (ditto to all the Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Jordan etc strikes).

This is going to be "russians are fighting with shovels and the biggest threat to world safety" levels of retarded.

If the attacks are coming from commandless units and are sporadic, there's no reason to get involved and escalate.
There's a lot of cope of "oh sunni and sheeeeit muslims hate one another", yeah, they do, but like any group in-fighting or any religious sects, they will fight the invaders together before going after one another.

We need to stay out of it, as they are no danger to us in their shit hole, but pose a massive threat here at home if riled up. That's no reason to be afraid of them, but it's risk mitigation.
We gain nothing but +20p on the price of petrol, more inflation and higher prices on goods, because reasons.

Kier could be in for a shitton of questions as the base doesn't have reliable bomb shelters

When was the last time it was attacked? Akritiri is a decompression and relaxation camp and refuelling depot for long-haul middle-east flights.
Troops are sent there post-tour to 'decompress', IE, get leathered, lay on a beach and deal with the shit they've just been through. They even fly celebs there to entertain the troops.

Kier has done a lot wrong, but not knowing a once-in-lifetime drone attack from Iran was coming to Cyprus is not one of them.
Not that I fully believe that Iran is responsible for half of these attacks.
