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.

In other news, water is wet. I like how they specify that Brits may be even more inbred than they were able to test for since only the inbreeds capable of actually getting out and about and doing things like participating in genetic surveys would show up, the others being too inbred and tarded to be detected.

So Britain is basically Innsmouth? Something fishy about that take.

Bloody hell. Who redpilled the Guardian journo ? This is just the sort of news they usually ignore.

And how in the name of Allah do these scrotes get bail ? If that was me or you, I bet they'd have us on remand. We'll probably read next week that they've escaped to Paki land, as per usual.

I'd let them post bail just so I could identify whoever paid it and freeze their accounts for funding terrorism.

Bail doesn't cost money here in the UK my red-feathered friend.
It just normally comes with conditions like reporting to a police station every week, surrendering your passport, staying at an approved address etc.

Is it a process where bail/release awaiting trial is based on low/no risk to continue their crime, commit other crimes or start messing with the court case(destroying evidence, threatening witnesses and such) or get together and come up with a shared story/testimony?

To add on to what you said, the only thing close to US idea of bail (paying money) iirc is the court may ask for security/surety from you or someone close to you in order to compel you to return to court on the date they set. You or the person close to you enter into a bond where failure to turn up leads to you/person close losing money, though thats usually for repeat offenders. Usually isn't a huge amount like in the US, because in those serious cases they will likely remand them into custody.

BORIS HIRES "GENDER CRITICAL" MP LIZ TRUSS AS WOMEN AND EQUALITIES MINISTER

Boris Johnson gives new roles to Truss and Goldsmith in mini-reshuffle

Liz Truss made women and equalities minister and Zac Goldsmith handed cabinet seat

www.theguardian.com

Liz Truss has been made women and equalities minister and Zac Goldsmith promoted to attending cabinet as Boris Johnson conducted a mini-reshuffle on the first day of parliament’s shutdown.


Truss was given the portfolio on Tuesday following Amber Rudd’s resignation on Saturday from that role as well as from her seat in cabinet as work and pensions secretary along with the Conservative whip in protest at the direction of Johnson’s Brexit policy.


The new equalities minister is a rightwinger and free marketer who was an early backer of Johnson and entered his cabinet as international trade secretary, a role she will continue to hold.


Truss voted for same-sex marriage but abstained on a vote to extend those rights to Northern Ireland.


Her appointment is not likely to be welcomed by transgender rights campaigners as she backed Mumsnet in a bitter row about whether criticism of transgender activism on the platform should be allowed as part of free speech.


As equalities minister, Truss will be responsible for reforms to the Gender Recognition Act begun by Theresa May, which were aimed at allowing transgender people to self-certify their gender without the need for medical assessment.


Goldsmith, an environment and development minister, will attend cabinet as a replacement to the prime minister’s brother, Jo Johnson, who resigned citing the pressures of the Brexit situation on his family.


His promotion is controversial given his campaign to be Conservative mayor against Labour’s Sadiq Khan which was accused of being racist and Islamophobic by trying to paint him as having links with terrorists and extremists.


Other moves include Chris Skidmore becoming a science minister at the departments of education and business and Edward Argar becoming a minister of state at the Department of Health and Social Care.


Chris Philp, Rebecca Pow, and Helen Whately were all given junior ministerial roles.

GROUND FLOOR.

Prediction: Trannies whip and nae nae into a (male) prison cell for creeping in the womens' lavs.

Educate girls to get them into STEM, or score woke points by forcing them to wear pants?

These girls raise valid, logical points to throw this BS back at the school. I have faith in the upcoming generation of zoomers. They will reverse the last decade of millenial degeneracy.

Protest over gender neutral uniform

All students at the secondary school must wear trousers in a uniform shake-up.

From what I remember about highschool some girls would fight tooth and nail with teachers about wearing their skirts shorter so I can’t imagine that group would be happy wearing trousers/pants.

This story has mildly triggered me as we're about to lose a lovely historic building because of Islam. This property is being demolished so a new Islamic girls school can replace it & it's being built for girls only because the Al-Hijrah school was segregating boys & girls illegally, against government guidelines. This was a school that inspectors found had books detailing how it was fine to strike your wife & that a husband can insist on sex, which is obviously rape. Ofsted rated this place as inadequate after a child died there & it was generally a piss poor, radical Islamist school which stopped girls from eating their lunch until the boys had finished & refused to teach them anything about the use of tampons because the aspect of insertion was deemed inappropriate. I seem to remember that they were teaching kids that gays should be killed amongst several other extreme views. Well, extreme for most of us in the West but normal for Islamic extremists.

Historic building to be bulldozed for new Islamic girls academy

The eye-catching building dates back to the 1920s and now it is to make way for a new Islamic girls academy being built on the back of the Al-Hijrah School segregation controversy

And the council are footing the bill for this new school. £3 million pounds at the moment, which will probably mean a final bill of double that.

When will they learn? Multiculturism is simply impossible for an unbending culture like Islam. There is no assimilation into host cultures. There is only Islam.

The school, which has both female and male pupils but segregates the sexes for all lessons from the age of 5 to 16 had mounted a legal challenge to an earlier Ofsted report that said that its segregation policy was a breach of the Equality Act.

In the first case of its kind, the state-funded Islamic school challenged its own critical Ofsted report, which found separating the pupils left them ‘unprepared for life in modern Britain’.

In the first case of its kind, the state-funded Islamic school challenged its own critical Ofsted report, which found separating the pupils left them ‘unprepared for life in modern Britain’.

It was argued in court that segregating pupils for religious reasons harms girls’ life chances and creates ‘an apartheid’ within schools which makes girls feel they are ‘different’ and inferior.

Ofsted said that Muslim faith schools which separate boys and girls are guilty of sexual discrimination.

But the 750 pupil school has courted controversy in recent months after a child died there and it mounted a legal challenge to a critical Ofsted report.

Mohammad Imaeel Ashraf, 9, collapsed at the school in March and died later in hospital. His death was reportedly linked to an allergic reaction to fish and chips.
