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.

"Claims of two-tier policing against white people are a complete inversion of reality. Like other forces, the Hampshire police have a clear racist bias against Black people. Police accused of 'anti-white bias' are 5 times more likely to stop Black people"

God bless the Lady of the House. That old school mentality of it's only my race that can be sinned against. Imagine being that bigoted and getting arse pats for it your whole life from portions of the race you accuse. And then putting odd shoes on the wrong feet.

Police are 5 times more likely to stop black people because they are 10 times more likely to be the culprit.

Having looked on X over the past few days I'm more convinced than ever that there is a war coming. Two sides heavily entrenched in their positions and I can't see how it is resolved. I genuinely think now it's not going to be English versus just the foreign invaders, I think it's going to be the English versus the Quislings ( starting with all those who booed the suggestion of two tier policing in parliament ) AND the invaders.

Is this bitch insane? The wording on the policies the police have to follow are unmistakable. They are not fooling anyone. People have had enough.

Ah Diane, always stupid.

Given this massive rate of prejudice against black people she'll no doubt be able to find 5 cases of black people, who a white person stabbed, bleeding to death in police custody because the white person said they were racist towards them.

No? In fact she can find 0? Remarkable.

In less retarded news the obvious second best candidate in the Makerfield election has made their pledges.

I figured his policy needed clarification.
Personally I go with one egg and cheese instead. It adds stability.

I actually support this. If you want to go fight for a foreign country go ahead but you should be denaturalised and have to live there. This goes for Israel, Ukraine and the retards who went to go fight for isis. One of the least cucked things the tories did was denaturalise shamima begum. Besides the fact they put the a foreign country's interests over that of Britain's, It's a bureaucratic headache. Let's say Russia wins the war in Ukraine, the British government will obviously want to improve relations with the winning side and Putin will use that to demand all the British mercenaries/volunteers stand trial in Russia. It just isn't worth the hassle.

How can you, in one motion, be so inept at misunderstanding the demographics in your own by-election? Makersfield is 98% white and mostly older people. Whoever does research for Reform needs to be shot at the sun; they did the same shit in Denton, too. Spent 1000s of fucking hours and £000's targeting fucking Sikhs, they made up fucking 0.01% of the constituency. There were 50 registered to vote Sikhs, and it was the smaller area too.

Do Jamaicans make up a significant portion of the Makerfield voting electorate?

No, Makersfield is I think, the whitest area in all of Manchester.

 

[Anomalous Coward]

We know that Reform is ran by Indians, we can now assume that the Indians have made it to the marketing department.

"Claims of two-tier policing against white people are a complete inversion of reality. Like other forces, the Hampshire police have a clear racist bias against Black people. Police accused of 'anti-white bias' are 5 times more likely to stop Black people"

Dianne Abbott fucking fumbles the best chance she had for police reform in years.
She did a racial tantrum, instead of targeting "first responder bias", that is letting the first to dial 999 set the frame as them as victims and the other party the perp, or the biases shown towards nervous or agitated people compared to their calm "victims". All factors in Henry's mistreatment which happen to Black boys too.

Police are 5 times more likely to stop black people because they are 10 times more likely to be the culprit.

It's more like 15% of stops on YT end in an arrest, as opposed to 19% for Darkies.
Young Black men are far more likely to be killed by other young Black men, stop'n'search saves their lives.

What the fuck is it with these narcissistic social media browns who try to show they are 'one of us'?

Don't purity spiral, Black or mixed race people don't wanna live in Calcutta either, I think Calvin is of English descent iirc too, I am not.

"I don't want them to go to a school where they are going to be a minority in their own classroom and where natural tribalism will kick in and there will be ethnic factionalism and even if not in their school in other schools ethnic gangs that will target them on on the most superficial of characteristics. And because they've been taught by the school curriculum that they have been marginalized and oppressed by my ethnic group for decades and now it's time to get revenge. And this is the fate awaiting our kids."
Hit's the nail on the head when it comes to the false narrative of "white oppressors", it's always the most vulnerable and underprivileged European kids who get hit hardest.

off topic but is that a crossed pfp? I've never met an unironic fan of that comic

Why is he four foot tall to the interviewer's (presumable) six foot? I can tell from some of the pixels...

There's the three panels everyone knows and I wish I'd stopped with that.

 

[Overly Serious]

Because Frank Wright is short. But in the words of Mr. Gormsby, "there's nothing wrong with that."



FWIW: here is his own site: https://www.frankwrighter.com/

The reason he comes across so well is because he's an intelligent person who already writes about this and knows his stuff. And frankly it is a nice change to have someone other than a Middle Class person trying to sound uneducated because they think that makes them sound Working Class.

 

[Mussolini’s Merkin]

To give him his dues he did get a scalp on Question Time, when he made the Green party lady malfunction on supply and demand as it relates to the housing crisis and immigration.

The levels of smug coming off this bint are amazing, the greens really are delusional.

He wants to bring back Ceefax? That gets my vote.

 

[Karognis]

I just looked up to see if Jean-Paul Sartre was a pedophile and the first thing I saw was someone making accusations of transphobia in reply to somebody else who'd asked that.

General Hopkins must be scratching at the coffin lid.

I thought we didn't like midgets here?

Just joshing. I think he speaks very well. He's clear and to the point. I'd been wondering where socialism had gone. Or the thing I grew up thinking it was. The names have changed but the spirit endures.

He's a manlet, not a midget. There's a difference.

Like dwarfs and dwarves? A difference that makes no difference is no difference. If it rides in Alton Towers it's got the hobbit habit.

Found a video that provides more evidence that Sikh's are cowards who only use their ceremonial stabbing knifes for sneak attacking unarmed people.

This is a video of a pajeet chimping out on his ex-gf and stabbing her to death at work. Later in the video you'll notice a diaper-headed Sikh runs up, sees whats happening, runs off to grab his sacred-stabber then runs back and freezes up in the face of a knife fight with a fellow jeet.

0:30

The Sikh was presented with the exact scenario that Sikh's claim they carry their stabbers for; to defend against insane pajeets. He had every right to attack the pajeet stabbing his ex. He'd have been celebrated as a hero even if he was unable to save the woman, who by that point had fatal injuries.

But like all Sikh's this is a lie; they are really just cowards who use their ceremonial stabbing knifes to attack unarmed people. Faced with a real opponent they freeze up like a coward.

Obviously their main argument for why they should be allowed to carry their stabbers is a lie.

 

[Karognis]

Oh piss off. Sikhs are normal people, as are Pakis, as are darkies. Most of them are harmless, some (few) of them are actual humans, some (many) of them are murdering/raping criminal scum who should be put out for the crows and seagulls. They're not a conspiracy, they're not bright enough for that. The only conspiracy is our retarded Government and our rapemobile Police Force letting the worst elements of them do all of it.
