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.

If immigrants were being properly integrated into our culture like pro-immigration supporters claim will happen naturally, then these women would've learned that the best way to deal with rapists is to out them and report them to the polic

That or using the rocks to bash in the heads of the child rapists but you know, potato potato

At least our cops arrest or kill people.

Brits are fucking pussies.

Feminists: Words are misogynistic! Ban manspreading for invading women's personal space! Let transwomen into women's bathrooms!
Someone: What about breast ironing? That actually harms women and destroys their developing bodies.

Some niggers are dumber and more cruel than fucking chimps. What a shitty culture.

I feel like ironing a young girls breast with a hot stone to prevent them from going should already fall under an existing statute. Brexit is a good thing I guess.

 

[CervixHammer]

“The British people are so polite in the sense that when they see something like that, they think of cultural sensitivities,”

the British people have a very strange definition of "polite".

Yeah, in civilized nations it falls under "assault" or "child abuse."

Didn’t they have a Somalian child bite pieces off another kid with the mother saying “that’s what kids do” recently too?

Funnily enough, no media article specified the ethnicity of the attacker, instead focusing on the fact that the victim’s parent was “a single mother” (gosh, most unorthodox).

God, I’m so glad I moved out of that shithole.

Shit like this among other problems Africa has just makes me wonder how it is the entire continent is even habitable at this point. Aren't tribes still killing each other over there when they're not inbreeding themselves to death? Should we just let them wipe each other out?

WE could have let that happen centuries ago, but Christian missionaries were keen on letting these people live because God and the bear said so.

 

[Sigma]

Just make your kids carry something for self defense and advise them about safety or something. Not damage their bodies. Besides, I'm sure there are plenty of other ways to make your kids look unappealing without harming them if somebody really wanted to go down that route.

Foreign aid, billions In foreign aid that comes from taxpayers, heartstringy boomers and altruistic sjws, if it wasn't for all the foreign aid Africans wouldn't make up 35% of the world population but rather 5

Ugh. Needless to say, nobody is taking any action about this because they don't want to be culturally insensitive.

Sorry, but the rights of children not to be mutilated by their relatives outweighs any cultural value in any practice. A thousand dicks in cultural sensitivity.

Britain won't arrest em because they know flat is justice.

Another reason why the sensible course is to depopulate the British Isles.
