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.

Fury as British rapper slowthai holds up effigy of Boris Johnson's severed head and shouts 'f***' the PM' in 'dumb, embarrassing and dangerous' stunt during Mercury Music Prize performance

• Rapper slowthai held up the effigy at the Eventim Apollo in London last night
• After stripping to the waist he shouted: 'F*** Boris Johnson, F*** everything'
• He was nominated for the award for his album Nothing Great About Britain

What's even worse is a talentless nigger went on to win the prize in the face of actually pretty good leftie scum guitar bands.

Although an actually talented act did win last year, I guess the Mercury Prize can't be right most of the time...

Jared Leto lookin' nigga

Tyron Kaymone Frampton (born 18 December 1994[1]), better known by his stage name slowthai (stylised in lowercase), is an English rapper from Northampton, Northamptonshire
His stage name originates from his childhood nickname; Frampton used to speak slowly and with a drawl.[8] Originally known as Slow Ty[9], he changed it to slowthai when he released his first single in 2016.
Frampton was born on 18 December 1994 in Northampton to a teenage mother. Of mixed Bajan and Irish descent, Frampton was raised by his single mother along with his four siblings after his father left when he was three. Frampton grew up in Lings, a predominantly white council estate in Billing, Northamptonshire known colloquially as "The Bush".[2]

Lol. Half Irish, half Bajan. A proper potato nigger sped.

Billing is a pikey neighbourhood too, it's near the Aquadrome which is a notorious gyppo parking spot.

Homeless migrants set up camp in Mayfair despite police clearing

A homeless camp in Mayfair London has avoided displacement by police by moving over the road. The camps presence has coincided with a stark rise in muggings and robberies in the area.

And there was me thinking that they all came here to do the jobs that us lazy bastard Brits refuse to do. Ain't freedom of movement great ?

Homeless camp in the heart of Mayfair: Migrants set up tents in Park Lane despite police attempts to clear the settlement amid 'daily muggings and robberies'

• Rough sleepers were cleared from Marble Arch, Mayfair, London on Thursday
• TFL said court order issued as last resort after other accommodation was offered
• The campers have avoided being displaced, now setting up nearby in Park Lane
• Robberies and muggings have increased in the area worrying local residents

The streets of London are paved with gold thieving Roma pikeys thanks to the EU, High Court & The Home Office.

However those living in the 'tent city' have resisted deportation thanks to a High Court ruling made in 2017.
The Home Office policy states that the deportation of rough sleepers who are EU citizens is unlawful and broke freedom of movement rules.

Shocking figures published by the Metropolitan Police state that 872 crimes of a violent or sexual nature were reported in the 12 months to July - a rate of more than two a day.
Thefts including shoplifiting were at a rate equivalent of more than 80 cases a week and a robbery was committed in the area every day.
This is in contrast to Hackney Central, east London, an area once associated with crime, which reported 493 violent and sexual offences.

Rough sleepers on cardboard mattresses and tents, accused of begging and pick pocketing, have been cleared by police from the affluent district of Mayfair.
Men, women and children in makeshift camps in the shadow of Marble Arch, Mayfair, were ordered to move by officers from private Transport for London land last week.
However the campers, thought to be Romanians and Bulgarians, moved their cardboard homes across to nearby Park Lane avoiding the displacement.

This comes as crime in the area has recently seen a boost, particularly in regards to instances of anti-social behavior, muggings and robberies.
Shopping trolleys were piled with pots and pans, a broomstick, an accordion and a 32-inch plasma television, which a Romanian named Dan planned to sell 'for a few hundred pounds', according to The Telegraph.
Dan said he did not want to return to Romania and was living with no money, no job and no food.
Transport for London said the court order was a last resort after attempts to offer alternative accommodation proved unsuccessful.

During the early morning of Thursday, raid police officers overlooked the site to ensure there were no cases of modern slavery, which included people held against their will.

However Westminster council say comparison of the two is unfair given the central location of Mayfair.
Westminster Conservative councillor Ian Adams has warned against blaming the Romanian and Bulgarian rough sleepers for the rise in crime.
Mr Adams said: 'The council very much recognises and shares the concerns of residents and businesses ... around current levels of crime whether that is theft, robbery or other crimes.
'Mayfair is increasingly becoming a magnet for the nighttime economy. It attracts a lot of wealthy people who are being targeted because of the expensive jewellery they are wearing.'

If only the British police went all French on them, maybe they won't hang around. I have never seen a capital city with as many homeless as London (and that's probably because I have never been to the States- New York and LA). They are everywhere. If the police were not so impotent, or worried about what some guy says online, they might actually be able to get a grip. It's a fucking embarrassment.

It's been a decade since I've been to NYC, but I've kinda recently been to DC and neither had homeless issues beyond what I'd expect. The occasional one or two on a block where they thought they'd make some money. None of this was tourist shit, I was visiting friends or family where they lived and eating in their neighborhoods, going to shows or museums nearby, etc. My friends in DC got mugged coming home a month after my visit. None of this is richfag area.

I fucking hate cities and will be the first to shit all over them. I haven't been to LA or SF in a long ass time and that was only on vacation in tourist areas. From what I'm reading now even that is infested and disgusting. The fact that tranny yuppie autists will pay $1-2M for some 1k sq. ft row home with homeless shitting all over the sidewalk on their walk to work will make me laugh forever. Politician like Giuliani, who is a big faggot, got crucified, and still does, for how he went after homeless people and black crime. Guess what decreased under his administration and has yet to come back to historical levels?

Cities are trash. If you move to a small town, don't bring your city shit with you.



Camden is for richfags. You'll be living in the surrounding towns. Still nice though.

Labour can’t seem to help themselves, it’s their big conference before one of the most significant general elections in recent history and they focus on party in fighting and anti-Israeli policies.

They are so inept they were holding a conference about anti-semitism on Shabbat, the day when none of the Jews can come. Of course, I don't suppose thats a coincidence. Apparently Jeremy Corbyn has beaten Foot as worst Labour leader in some polls recently. Pretty sure Labour and Lib Dems are expecting to take a big fat "L" when the election does kick off for their shenanigans.

Edit: Momentum also tried to purge Watson as Deputy Leader this weekend by getting rid of that position. That went down the toilet.

Children as young as SIX are to be given self-touching lessons

Lessons are part of the controversial All About Me teaching programme which is being rolled out across 241 primaries by Warwickshire County Council as part of a Government overhaul.

www.dailymail.co.uk

--------------
Even politicians who had supported the RSE legislation expressed concern. Tory MP David Davies said: ‘I and many other parents would be furious at completely inappropriate sexual matters being taught to children as young as six. These classes go way beyond the guidance the Government is producing and are effectively sexualising very young children.’

Documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday detail how All About Me classes involve pupils aged between six and ten being told by teachers that there are ‘rules about touching yourself’. An explanation of ‘rules about self-stimulation’ appears in the scheme’s Year Two lesson plan for six and seven-year-olds.

Under a section called Touching Myself, teachers are advised to tell children that ‘lots of people like to tickle or stroke themselves as it might feel nice’. They are also instructed to inform youngsters that this may include touching their ‘private parts’ and, that while some people may say this behaviour is ‘dirty’, it is in fact ‘very normal’.

However, the youngsters are warned it is ‘not polite’ to touch themselves in public – it is an activity they should do when alone in the bath, shower or in bed.

In the same lesson, children are given scenarios which they must judge to be ‘OK’ or ‘not OK’.

In one, pupils are told that when a girl called Autumn ‘has a bath and is alone she likes to touch herself between her legs. It feels nice’.

At this point, teachers are advised to remind the students of the ‘rules about self-stimulation’.

Time for home schooling. This is fucking vile.

UK: No Charges for Muslim Who Threatened to Rape Christian Converts

Police will not pursue charges against a Muslim taxi driver who threatened to anally rape anyone who "convert[s] to f**king Christianity".

UK: No Charges for Muslim Taxi Driver Who Threatened to Sodomise Christian Converts in Viral Video

British police have announced they take no action against a Muslim taxi driver who threatened “any mother f**ker wants to convert to f**king Christianity, we’re both gonna f**k you up the a**e” in a viral video.
41-year-old Zaheer Hussain shot the video, which went viral in December 2018, alongside a laughing companion in a car in Preston, Lancashire.
Press reports on the video are short on details, with one downplaying the rant as merely “criticising ‘anyone who converts’ to Christianity”, but copies can still be found on social media.

The footage shows Hussain telling the camera, “Bruv, listen… any motherf**ker wants to convert to f**king Christianity, we’re both gonna f**k you up the a**e, you under-f**king-stand? … We’re gonna f**ck you up the a**e; we’re gonna come to f**cking [place name], and we’re gonna f**ck you, f**ck you up the [unintelligible],” as he simulates an act of sexual assault.

Over the course of his rant, extended sections of which are in a foreign language, he also demands “Why you f**king converting for [sic], you motherf**kers? Huh? Why you f**cking — why would you want to become a Christian? You f**king [unintelligible] s**t motherf**kers.”

Hussain was reported to Lancashire Constabulary by a Christian woman from Preston, who said “it frightens me now to identify myself as a Christian to someone that I don’t know” and that it was “sad that I have to hide my religion.”
“This man’s dangerous views on something so normal like people changing religions is unacceptable, she added.
“His threats to sexually assault those who convert to Christianity is the heart of hate speech.
“To me, he is displaying extremist tendencies and is encouraging violence.
“I’m genuinely concerned for the welfare of the public who may not be aware of his extreme views.”Under Islamic law, enforced by the state in many Muslim-majority countries, the penalty for leaving Islam is death.

The police, however, ultimately opted to take no action against Hussain or four other men interviewed in connection with the video, apparently accepting his claims that he only intended for the video to be seen by a few friends, and that there was therefore no evidence to prove that the arrested man had any intention to incite or stir up religious hatred amongst the general public”, to quote a local report.
“A separate offence of sending a grossly offensive/indecent or menacing message by a public communication network” was also considered, according to the same report, but prosecutors decided “that it did not meet the evidential test for a criminal offence.”

Hussain’s generous treatment by the authorities contrasts sharply with that meted out to Scottish comedian Markus Meechan, better known as Count Dankula, who was arrested, charged, and convictedin a trial without a jury for causing gross offence with a viral video in which he trained his girlfriend’s pug dog to imitate the “least cute thing that I could think of, which is a Nazi” — despite his having also told the authorities it was only intended for a small circle of friends.

Lol, calm down

Whenever someone ranting like this asks a question along the lines of "Why do you want to leave?" or "Why won't you share your opinion?", the immediate comeback should always be: "Because of people like you."
