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.

Somebody already mentioned it months before but if you're old enough to willingly commit treason by running away to be with a terrorist then you're old enough to accept the consequences of being a traitor.

Eat shit Begum.

 

[Unyielding Stupidity]

We should just let the Syrians deal with Begum themselves. I'm sure they'd be glad to get their hands on one of the people that ravaged half their country for several years...

We should just kill her. Send out a fifteen man team; tie her and others like her to a post and shoot her.

No.

The state should sign a piece of paper that says she should be put against a post and shot. I believe in the death penalty, and I believe firmly this daft bitch is Britains problem because we sheltered her. We should clean up our mess and make sure she's in the ground.

The 'In minecraft thing' also is a joke, like I keep seeing it around being said seriously and it's weird; the point of 'In minecraft' is to joke that if you said 'I want to blow up the federal reserve...in minecraft' it wouldn't protect you from being prosecuted.

Why do you think I said it then dude?

I dunno if you were being serious or not. But I keep seeing people post is seriously and it'd been irking me a for while.

Stopping her coming back into the country certainly helps the radicalisation problem, IMO. If she came back she'd be in prison for life and she'd likely attempt to spread her rhetoric to impressionable people. She's too dangerous to let back into the country, but in a different way to Islamist suicide-bombers. Preventing her from coming back to the UK doesn't stop us intervening with potential grooming and/or radicalisation.

Yes, radicalisation is mostly Pakistani migrants following the prevalent (for them) Debandi school of Islam. Reduce migration massively.

Choose deanoboxes. Choose terraced houses. Choose Pakistani rape gangs. Choose the male suicide epidemic. Choose Amazon fulfilment wageslavery. Choose traveling to work on an overcrowded bus. Choose Just Eat, ASOS hauls, betting shopps and Greggs. Choose roundabouts. Choose industrial estates. Choose anal sex. Choose corner shops, spice addicts and humanities graduates working in bars. Choose the home ownership crisis, choose historical revisionism and ethnomasochism. Choose modern feminism, social media and Tinder. Choose trannies, masks and social distancing. Choose ITV daytime competitions. Choose post-industrial wastelands. Choose zero contract shift workers. Choose obsessive NEET loners stuck in their Mum's spare room. Choose standing about in the job centre. Choose the clash of working class pleb culture and the privately educated upper class. Choose rainy walks with the dog. Choose the exodus to London. Choose identity politics. Choose Primark. Choose retail work. Choose high rents. Choose boomer resentment. Choose ethnic replacement. Choose isolation. Choose hookup culture. Choose brand identity. Choose leased Fiat 500 Abarths. Choose Gogglebox, Love Island, and evening footie.

Choose life in Britain.

Sounds like shit, that's why I'm out.

I've got a lot of sympathy for the vandals. Why the fuck would you want a massive picture of that big-lipped nigger looming over you every time you walked down a street in your neighbourhood. Nothing to do with Manchester at all. Just a drug addict with no redeeming qualities who arguably (and I feel I'm being extremely generous here) met his end too soon.

Fuck the "anti-racists".

That substation has always been painted with something synonymous with Manchester, or a pop culture icon that reflects the Northern Quarter (the trendy district that has a load of independent shops and music venues) so you've had the likes of Heisenberg when Breaking Bad was wrapping up, Bowie when he died, the Manchester bees after the Arena was bombed, Ian Brown at one point, that kind of thing.

If it was up to me, I'd have treated it like the Bank of England does the currency. No divisive figures, then had the artist paint something more appropriate. Mary Seacole or Rowetta would probably be the best shout if he really had to do a Black Lives Matter thing.

Media that.

Most Mancunians are laughing about it and telling the council to take the hint.

As someone currently stuck in Manchester can confirm. The only people I've actually seen whining about it are the typical middle class SJWs and their token blacks. Hell even most of the black people I've seen don;t give a shit since they don;t care about some fucking random american cunt.

Diane Abbot has been quiet for a while. Seems she's feeling confident speaking up again about Covid's effect on minority groups;

Shame she did it when Kemi Badenoch was around to point out it's nice to hear Labour talk about how Jewish communities are affected by this too rather than the groups that normally receive headlines.

It'd be nice if we did not have to rely on Kemi or Pritti to turn up every time a minority Labour MP has a point about to make that relies upon race but given we know they'd scream like any slack jawed American who has nothing in their hand but the race card if a white person dared to contradict them guess that's where we're at these days.
