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.

I am genuinely wondering what is left for the Chinese to even spy on? In fact, I'm convinced the British government is stealing secrets from China to create a better authoritarian surveillance state.

China has a lot to gain from spying on us, as Teri mentioned above, they also will have a larger scope of kidnapping, threatening Chinese dissidents and Hong Kongers, it will allow them to spread more influence on the Taiwanese issue (China is moving towards a more diplomatic approach to taking over Taiwan imo).

Whenever I listen to Labour, Kemi (Tories) or the lib dems, or any establishment MP/party, they all pretty much sound the same. Kemi will go on about Chinese mega embassy, freeing Jimmy Lai but it's always been talk from both sides. We had the chance to put our foot down with China when Keir went, but he went there and came out with his dick tucked into his balls like a fucking faggot.

Say what you want, I'd rather be living in a country that is influenced more by America than fucking China any day. But it seems with our current governments they want closer ties with Europe (somewhat fine) and China.

It's beautiful to see how much the Palestinians have contributed to the British mining community.

Complete cringe fest, white libtards doing that stupid dance, just needs a giant bowling ball to knock them all down. They're all complete larpers.

@SirCliveSinclairdabbing Or we could just drill the oil ourselves, since It's in our waters, why give over land when the entire population voted to be with us? You scream Tory.

universally hated outside of it shows there is something afoot.

The Chagossians also oppose it, which is the only thing that should matter, (because Mauritius will likely oppress the fuck outta them and not give them money, the shit the Mauritians do to young women is appalling). They formed government in exile and live illegally on the island. They do not want to be traded like a Pokemon card at break to some shithole African country. White guilt is so strong that people cannot fathom a small atoll would want to stay British, because they have been part of the British empire for years, and they acknowledge the only country that will give them cash to keep their culture alive is the British. The Chinese have clearly used their experience with self hatred and student revolutions to poison white nations into turning over assets (see all the Chinese spies they find in California).
It's so, so, deeply wrong. It's modern day colonialism to just be handing off nations of people to other countries.

The only thing I will give China, or more the people, is that they are racist as fuck

We get protestors from Falun Gong (cult) in town here every so often and they give out leaflets about how the Chinese government turns dissidents into pet food. I can't wait for when Winnie attempts to invade Taiwan (or at least the Kitmen islands) and all the retard leftists support an obvious invasion of another country.

An African man has reportedly hit a disabled guy with his car. Happened in Bradford, not Birmingham.

A protest in Gorbals, Glasgow, over migrant sex offenders, was met with riot vans and a police helicopter. A migrant man was seen filming children in the area at the same time as the protests, police escorted him away. There was also a protest in Bicester over migrants being housed nearby.
Archive is down, working on it.

Guido and others are reporting that counter-terrorism police have taken over the investigation into Widdecombe's murder.

You scream Tory

I’m actually suggesting try libertarianism. We have something to offer the one country that’s successfully applied it.

 

[Oxyjen]

This is the 28 y/o who was arrested, before leaving home on the day of the murder. The Sun got video from a neighbour’s security camera.
He visibly has a hammer or axe or something sticking out of his pocket.




Twitter is having an autistic meltdown because based on the timestamp, there isn’t really enough time for him to have driven to Devon, stopped for petrol, done a violent murder and got back home.

The timestamps are probably wrong though.

The cops are really inviting a lot of speculation with the handling of this.

'new evidence' has come to light (X). Parliament must be shitting themselves right now.

Counter Terrorism Policing South East have said that “new information and evidence has come to light” and they have taken over the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe.

Head of National Counter Terrorism Policing, Laurence Taylor, said:

“Building on the progress made by our colleagues in Devon and Cornwall Police, we now have new information and evidence that means Counter Terrorism Policing is now leading the investigation.

We are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack.

Our priority is progressing this investigation quickly, with all the capabilities we have available to us. If anyone has any information, please share it with the police.

We would like to thank local communities, the wider public and the media for their ongoing support and patience, and would ask them to continue to support us in the next stage of the investigation.”

Shabana Mahmood said:

“This morning I have spoken to the head of Counter Terrorism Policing, Following new information and evidence, they are now leading on the investigation into the horrific murder of Ann Widdecombe. The police are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack. I will be updating the House further this afternoon. My thoughts today remain with Ann’s family and friends, and all those who loved her.”

This enables the police to hold a suspect for longer without charge. The white male arrested over the suspected murder of Ann Widdecombe has been re-arrested on suspicion of preparing or instigating acts of terrorism. After a shambolic and embarrassing weekend for many involved…

BBC confirms

So this is going to turn out to be a targeted assassination, isn't it.

Why would we give away the Falklands for oil already in our waters that we can drill? Argentina may have decreased their inflation, but they're still in shits creek and every time the country is doing poorly (when is it not) they bring up the falklands again and again.

My mum said it can't be a professional hitman because he's wearing shorts. I told her it was very hot last week. Almost seems like she's bemoaning an erstwhile era where hitmen would at least have the decency to dress formally for a political murder

Anyway, I can't believe that guy would drive 260 odd miles with whatever that is sticking out of his pocket. Must have been uncomfortable. Or did he just pop it on the passenger seat next to him?

Let’s fucking go.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

Imagine being the police, complaining about being underfunded and underpaid for years only to spectacularly fuck up an investigation into the killing of a politician.

This is the same police btw that will be responsible for investigating people who are using VPNs or dealing with petty crime.

It's incredible. So not only are the police lacking numbers but they're lacking anyone with a fucking brain.

Funnily enough, mine said the same thing too.

I wonder exactly what type of terrorism they're referring to? They're keeping very quiet about it, so I wonder if it's a muslim, or some variant of it

 

[Heinrich Maneuver]

well you see, murder suspects are scary and dangerous and likely armed... you can't expect the police to do their job now can you

edit if we're talking about mothers. mine's asking what a 'White British National' is. the terms they use are fucking retarded. at least she understands that 'Britsh national' usually means a syrian or sudanese guy

 

[Clem Fandango]

Wow, the future really did turn out like that film "Demolition Man". We even have Taco Bell in the UK now. Uncanny.

 

[KeeKeeCooch]

Do you guys think we'd have gotten that CCTV footage if it was a nigger or another brown variant? Me thinks not.

I'm hoping it's some type of fat pooner that's a paying member for the green party.

 

[Heinrich Maneuver]

Idk, i've always said the tide will turn once brownoids start targeting the upper/middle class. Look at the protests in Bicester from Stand up to Racism and locals, or even in Crowborough and that one Lib Dem council. If this is another muzzie or muz-adjacent crashout targeting a well known MP after a string of brownoid attacks, things could get very different very quickly. If this is Palestine related, the social media/freedom of speech crackdown is going to be intense. I'll put money on it being some Green member or Green related issue, if anyone wants to take bets.

 

[Fireman Sam]

The police are handling this so blatantly retarded that on one hand speculation is the only thing people have to go on *and* the initial suspicions are possibly true. This is starting to smell like a politically motivated killing. I guess their hope is by the time the evidence comes to light people will have forgotten about it.

Do you guys think we'd have gotten that CCTV footage if it was a nigger or another brown variant?

Possibly not. Or at least they wouldn't be so quick to call out the race of the suspect that's for certain. They were VERY quick to say "white male. Not politically motivated or terroristic at this time. DON'T SPECULATE!"

 

[Oxyjen]

I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re right, now that the “learning difficulties” explanation is evaporating.

Went for a walk with an old friend recently, a mild mannered lefty. I made some off-hand comment about the state of the town, vape shops everywhere, you know, hinting at it. He did a half hour rant about the persecution of the Gazan people and Israel’s war crimes. Even sent me videos since that I haven’t dared watch.
People are being fucking radicalised. Look at Dale Vince.

His response to "it's a bit shit around here" was a half hour rant about gaza? If ever there was a need to touch grass...

Stop hanging out with retards, the era of being able to politely disagree and associate with these people is well and truly behind us. Your faggot friend will backstab you the second you say something that they consider out of line. These people are assholes who betray people on their own side of the spectrum if it will score them brownie points among their peers. Run before you get your life destroyed by this freak.

I know a few leftists IRL too, but I only associate with them when I absolutely have to for work. They're a massive liability.
