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.

this is a bit optimistic tbh
the law does - in theory - apply as you said, but that same law also says that illegal entry into the country is in fact a crime - a crime which the entire justice system simply refuses to persecute since 2015.
my point is, the letter of the law is meaningless in this country. the only thing that matters is what the courts actually do, and they have already sent men to prison over cases like this.

case in point: https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/jus...ver-verurteilt-wegen-totschlag-a-1068411.html
man shoots burglar dead, conviceted of manslaughter, sentenced to three years in prison.

Dude shot a guy that was running away. Needless to say, that is not self-defense, since the guy was no longer a threat.
Similar case: Hunter shoots burglar in his home in the face with a gun, case is dropped by the court since it was self-defense.

Jäger tötet Einbrecher per Kopfschuss - Verfahren eingestellt

Einen tragischen Ausgang hat Ende April der Einbruch eines jungen albanischen Flüchtlings genommen. Der Albaner, der gerade seinen 18. Geburtstag gefeiert hatte, war mitten in der Nacht in ein Fachwerkhaus am Rande der Siedlung Neuenrade-Affeln rund 20 Kilometer südöstlich von Hagen in...

Court argued that the burglar had nowhere to go (ie: no way to deescalate the situation or flee), didn't matter to the judge.

The good thing about German self-defense laws is that as long as someone is a credibly threat (ie: you can credibly claim you felt threatened), you have absolutely no obligation to consider what amount of force is sufficient, look for an appropriate response or flee.
You feel threatened (and the situation makes that credible): Bash in some dipshits head and walk away a free man.

Funny how the more the government cracks down 'far right extremists', the more 'far right extremists' seem to exist.

It's almost like the crackdown is creating them or something.

Or rather, when the government wants money to fight ghosts, everything that makes a noise in the dark becomes a ghost.

Meanwhile London gets a nearly daily death by stabbing, some savages even stabbed a retired donkey which used to give kids rides - https://www.standard.co.uk/news/cri...able-attack-in-southeast-london-a4176606.html

It probably wouldn't put out.

Buddhism has always been violent. Tibetan Buddhism enabled a literal slave society and Mahayana Buddhism had warrior monks. The most feared warriors of the Sengoku Jidai were Monks and the most elite soldiers of South Vietnam's army were monks.

Oh I know all that, it's just that people are pretending the attacks against the Muslim community are completely unprovoked in places like Myanmar are totally unprovoked, but one such article I read even listed the first incident that kicked it all off, as follows.

The current crisis started in 2012. Here’s a brief timeline of events:

May 28, 2012

Twenty-six-year-old Rakhine woman Ma Thida Htwe was gang-raped and murdered by three men the state media identified as “Bengali Muslim” or “Islam Followers.” These men were promptly arrested.

Admittedly, the backlash from this attack ended up with Rakhines attacking the wrong people in the following bus incident, but at least they've taken the initiative to not tolerate that shit like the UK has, and they've mostly only risen to the occasion when news breaks about one of their own getting attacked.

June 2013

After the report of a rape of a Buddhist woman by Kaman Muslim men in Thandwe, violence erupted again, not just against Kaman but also against Rohingya far away from the incident.

I know it's faulty mob justice but it's honestly just a breath of fresh air to hear there's retaliation for once instead of complicit indifference and delusional apologia. It's really ironic that the people who have the reputation as being dedicated to causing no harm as part of their semi-religious practice are the ones getting up off their ass. I personally don't know how reliable this article is either since journalists are generally bleeding hearts for Muslims anyway, so there might be more to it that's not being spoken about.

There's also this amusing tidbit.

By March, more than 6,000 Rohingya had been killed and more than 655,000 had fled to Bangladesh. Over fifty-five villages had been completely bulldozed, removing traces of buildings, wells, and even vegetation. Here we can see the Myanmar army has learned from the Israeli Army, which many Myanmar officials admire; when asked how to respond to the Rohingya, Dr. Aye Maung, head of Rakhine Nationalities Development Party, said, “We need to be like Israel.”

Fuck you, I'm Millwall sounds so absolutely exceptional, I'm sorry to say. I'm guessing that's a soccer team.

Millwall FC and their F-Troop, those were the days and it's called football, ya know, because it's actually played with your fucking feet!
But still: FUCK MILLWALL

Oh for fuck's sake. Growing up I was happy and proud to belong to a British Commonwealth nation.

Now, I just cringe when I hear shit like this, and I hear it way too often. The only problem is the only neighbor to turn to is becoming just as exceptional in the other direction with all the Trumptards.

I guess wait to see if the U.S. recovers its sanity in 2020, other then that I think Canada needs to withdraw from not just NAFTA and the Commonwealth, but from the world. Seal the borders and hope to survive the outcome of a world spinning off it's axis and about to crash down hard.

>lives in Canada
>lives under Justin Trudeau
>thinks he has any right to talk shit about "Trumptards"

lmao stfu

Time for America to start airdropping rifles into Europe again. Find the counties that will fight for their lives and give them so many unloicenced firearms that the bobbies are outgunned and surrounded.
There won’t always be an England if you niggers don’t fight for it.

Kind of puts Batman's origin story to shame, frankly. Hopefully this kid grows up to be a Muslim-stomping vigilante.

 

[Gustav Schuchardt]

Or is it that the farther left those desperately clinging to power go the more everyone looks like a far right extremist?

It's almost like we're living in a re run of 1989 where the commies called everyone who opposed their far left policies 'far right'.

That won't happen for the exact same reason we did it the first time lol.

White civilization is fucked and has maybe 500 more years at max.

So every civilization of note that isn’t east Asian is going to roll over and let themselves be murdered by barbarians because the media calls them racist? Bullshit. We already have hysterical faggot aristocrats threatening to drop nukes on their own people to keep them in line and stop undoing their power base. The rollback we’re living through now is not even a decade old and it’s already undoing almost a century of globalist death spiral bullshit. The Eloi are going to win a fight against the Morlocks. Especially when all their effective troops (not antifags) are Morlocks themselves.

There are not liberal solutions to these problems. People who have been trained to think that any right wing illiberal sentiment is tantamount to satanism (see hitler) will realistically adopt these solutions. Also please don't exclude Persia from civilizations of note, they aren't taking things rolling over. But they weren't afraid of being 'satan' by liberal standards and still aren't.

This is more than a century too, finance capitals deathgrip on the anglosphere dates back to the British Empire. I just hope the Iranians get a good swing in at the zionists.

So, your idea of "regaining sanity" is to become more like the nations and governments doing precisely what is making you ashamed, and implement policies that result in the conditions you deplore.

Sure, I guess you're an expert on loss of sanity.

What would they do in America with someone who spits on random niggers and possesses illegal drugs?

Hire them to work on CNN.

The situation is Sweden far more depressing. Some years ago, there was a very publicised court ruling that sent a guy to prison because he fired his gun when his assailants were about to break into his house, instead of waiting to pull the trigger until they had already entered it.



You may defend yourself against an armed attacker, but you may very well risk being charged if your self-defense is considered "excessive".

That sounds rather similar to our gun laws in Argentina. Say someone broke into your house with a .38 pistol, but you defend yourself with brass knuckles, you manage to land a punch, creep hits the back of his neck against the kitchen counter and bam, dies on the spot. Even if he was clearly overpowering you with a pistol, you would still be charged with assault with deadly weapon and not for self-defense... and could get you in jail.

Or, say that the same creep threatened you with a .38 but you bust a cap in his ass with a .45 - it's considered large caliber unauthorized for civilians. Again, you'd be tried for "excessive force" instead of self-defense. It's absolutely fucked up.

@Pepito can correct me where I'm wrong here, but the gist is that self-defense laws in this country are quite messed up.

Yet every time they act on these impulses, they get stomped on because the general population doesn’t buy their shit and isn’t a fan as soon as they hear about it.
Every media corporation is dying. Every tech giant is being dragged in front of congress to answer for real election meddling and not the fake Russia shit. Within hours of Vox’s pet faggot trying to get Crowder to fuck him, every youtube channel was digging into him and Vox. Now you have one guy who got 100k because within minutes of his being attacked with mace and milkshakes the Internet was finding his attackers. All of that shit is petty compared to things like jobs, wars, trade deals etc. and these fags still get kicked for their idiot policy of “everyone who’s not a Maoist tranny blacklatinx Muslim in a wheelchair is a fascist” is taking root like it’s scattered on concrete.
I’ll tell you what this shit will actually look like if some left wing radicals declare war on America; the red counties around them will barricade their shitty urban hovel for a week and then they’ll cry and beg for food to be brought back in. The world does not run on the backs of media personalities and bloggers.

I will be back on board when I see realistic change. I can cite examples in the opposite. We've gotten jack shit from our president on immigration, despite over delivery on the boomer zionist stuff. These massive corporations shrug off state authority and control information flow anyway. Nobody gave a shit about censorship until it was in their backyard.
