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.

Why is everyone so FAT?

I got my bike out of the shed to make sure it still worked and injured myself. Now I'm eating biscuits for comfort. Don't fucking bully me!

FAT FUCK

Why is everyone so FAT?

Because most of us live fairly inactive lifestyles while also following the "2100 calories a day to be healthy" thing.

If you're simply driving to work in an office, sitting down for 8 hours and driving back you realistically don't need more than 1400-1600 calories per day. Yet the average office worker can casually consume half of that in their morning frappe.

Meanwhile all my chef mates eat the most disgusting horrible calorific meals and are stick thin, because they're burning a shitload off per day just working.

 

[the rat]

Fill out the form in triplicate.
But you’re right - the idea of taking consent forms is a bit odd. If you’re in a healthy relationship sex is something that just happens. If one of you is avoiding it, they’re not enjoying it.

You've just given me the thought of a health and safety form for sexual consent that has a tiny box you fill out at the bottom of the page.

@labour this is a the rat copyrighted idea donut steal

Spoiler: Seriously off-topic sperging (we really need our own OT bolthole)

I've just had the revenue breathing down my neck for a slightly delayed corpo tax payment, which accrued daily interest for about a week before I paid it, which for some reason wasn't include when I paid the principal. Alright, fine. I paid the interest, but apparently their system applied another day of interest while I was making the payment. I had no notice of this for two days until today, when I got a text from a debt collection agency.

For 69 pence.

Now, if this was months or even weeks after, I'd understand, but we're talking days, possibly even hours after the debt was registered on my tax account. I couldn't work out why they'd do that, until I paid attention to the debt collectors: Past Due Credit Solutions, part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group.

Suddenly it makes sense. His Majesty's Revenue and Customs has been hollowed out and taken over by jeets, who are ignoring the established guidelines and immediately passing debt collection work to their jeet allies, presumably because it earns them a kick-back of some sort. Past Due Credit Solutions has a reputation for chasing debts that were paid off months or years ago, or debts that don't even exist, and have done for years, but it used to be that HMRC would wait a few months before sending in the bailiffs. If I end up with a CCJ over sixty nine fucking pence I'm going to go mental.

Never trust a skinny chef. They're not eating what they prepare.

This has been going round universities for decades. No one uses them because Karens a slut and Dave thought it was a joke.

I had a similar situation ages back when I got a job and stopped my bennies. I paid back the accidental payment back that they sent me after the date I stopped my bennies (tbh I could have argued that that was a mistake on their end and not my problem) and then they wrote back a month later to say that I have an outstanding balance of £1.20 and I can go to prison if I don't pay it back. Naturally I used the tool to pay it back across 12 months so it probably cost them more in admin fees to get their 10p per month.

Yeah that's my experience easy to imagine how just not moving ruins what the idea of "healthy" is, to the extent that exercise (really, natural activity which we're evolved to do) makes them miserable, sad! There's really no excuse for it though, but the thing is I don't think they know/care to even have one, being FAT is the ultimate sign of not being human.

I've only ever had pleasant experiences in the gooncaves, just saying.

Thread 'Official Kiwifarms Mass DM Chain Consent Thread'

Posting in this thread grants explicit permission for any user to invite you to shitposting and/or lolcow thread writing DMs that do not violate site TOS. This includes posts that are "I don't consent". Don't post in this thread. If I search your username in this thread and you're in it, I don't care if they invite you.

Due to an influx of complete fucking retards inviting people who do not want or need to be in these DMs being made, multiple DM chains have been getting deleted left and right. Null is fed up with people inviting users without their permission, so this thread is for...

But yeah, our gov apparatus being supplanted by the asiatic menace has been going on for a while now, not so apparent as in other countries due to how ridiculously localized some of our agencies are (you only really get poojeet councillors if you're living in little crapistan), but now they're breaching containment.
The inevitable scandals when the wrong foot gets stamped on will be horrific/hilarious.

I'm not going to lie as we're on the topic - I got myself all fit, looking all fresh and trim with the idea of pulling in Germany whilst I was here, and I'll be honest, as much as there are some pretty women here, I feel like such an autist as I basically know enough German to be around an A1 level in understanding and reading, but my speaking is dire enough to where when it comes to flirting I'd rather not say a word at all, even if elsewhere it's passable enough. Honestly wish I had the American style of aloofness and confidence to say in plain English.

I DON'T SPEAK GERMAN BUT YOU ARE FIT WAHEY

I think I enjoy the verbal side of a relationship too much, the idea of degrading it, simplifying it, not having the words and not being understood is like a shot through the heart for me. I love to be charming and make someone really blush, press their buttons, make them absolutely flush and wrap them around my finger... Simply saying D...Du bist schön isn't enough for me.

As an aside there's a lot of grey skins here, I don't know how to describe them besides being really racially ambiguous, they're weird to look at, if these people were around back in Benjamin Franklin's day no wonder he sperged out about Scandinavians and the Anglo-Saxons being the only true Whites.

They aren't even "Swarthy" either, they're just grey, it's so weird to even put into words, it's like if a racial blank slate existed, it would be them. There are plenty of Germanic people that just look similar enough to the average Anglo/Brit, women being of a similar enough calibre. Maybe I am a Celtic woman enjoyer at heart, need me a ginger gf again I think.

Because it's TOPICAL
And it's not full of anything like that, it's a funny joke to pretend that just because it's semi-private everyone must be wanking off, but it's just not true, all it is a veneer of exclusivity, ask @Otterly if you don't believe me: she was in one a while ago, and far as I know there's no human-otter mutant giga AIDS going around yet.

He's still lurking. I bet he has a new account he's using. The village account was probably him but I can't be bothered to go and check out when his alts last logged in.

[Goose the Redeemer]

I'm confused now, sex work is real work and sex workers are modern day secular saints, figures for young women to look up to, but men who actually throw them £50 for a blowie are worse than Hitler?

It'll be damned lean times for sex workers (I prefer 'filthy whores', personally) if men stop actually having sex with them.

Feminists have been pushing this shit forever, it's "empowering" for women to "take back control of their sexuality from the patriarchy", and part of this is the demonisation of men, masculinity, and male sexuality. For prostitution specifically, I believe they called this the "nordic model"; making it illegal to purchase, but not to sell.

 

[Kofi Drinka]

Does Null just send a picture of a Kiwi or does he send them a Unibomber tier essay on his hate boner for us Brits?

It would be fucking amazing if every time Null got a message like this he sent a hundred page essay of bullshit. Ask them to give an accurate account of every single problem they find. Specific posts and threads unsuitable for children and why. Completely waste their time being retarded and chasing ghosts.

Null talks a big game but the way to is heart is through cheese. When he tried and enjoyed Stilton I counted it as a cultural victory.
