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.

Anyone who doesn't realise that socialmedia killswitches during "times of crisis/civil unrest" are next on the agenda is going to get a very scary wake-up call sometime soon. This is just testing the waters to see how the public broadly respond to restrictive policies regarding the Internet and free access to socialmedia. Dressing unpopular, authoritarian, bullshit up as "child safety" or "public welfare" policy is the oldest trick in the book. This isn't the end-goal of this legislation.

They're scared, and they think that this is going to stop it. They think this will stop "youth radicalisation" - They're wrong. The only thing that will stop any of this is actual change that has the best interests of the British people at heart.

They don't realise that it isn't us lot radicalising kids, it's them and their ethnocidal policymaking. "How could young people hate us? All we've done is enrich boomers who hate them, take away their spaces to hang out in, treat them like criminals by default, make them unemployable, ethnically replace them with Muslims and niggers, make them poor, punish entrepreneurship, and tell them it's all their fault" - This is what these retards sound like, and they cannot possibly grasp that it's their fault. They genuinely believe that Hitlerloverniggerbeheaded1488 on Twitter is the one responsible for why kids are angry at the government.

Mark my words, this is going to have the complete opposite effect. If you won't let people talk on the big mainstream networks, watch how quickly they go underground and form literal terrorist cells and we end up with something akin to the IRA on the mainland. If you force people onto privacy-focused networks and chat services, they will see zero reason to hold back anymore. You've already effectively criminalised them at that point.

When it happens, the government will scream and cry about how "the far right" made it so, and how it's all Lowe and Musk's fault, all the while ignoring that they have created a climate in which people lose faith in the democratic process. People like me who are entrenched in Restore believe in and want a democratic solution to our problem. The system treats us like far right extremists, but it hasnt seen what far right extremism is yet. It absolutely will if it keeps pushing it's luck, though.

dinner lady

You're not actually allowed to use the term "dinner lady" anymore... you gotta use "dinner person/people" thank Jew very much.

I know It's the summer but holy fuck why do jeets/pakis smell so bad, It's not even 9am and I'm getting a wiff of some fat paki lady, covered in bedsheets, where the fuck is the febreeze.

Argentina angered by prospect of oil boom in Falklands

I'm shocked they didn't just lead with this - if they said the Falklands are Argentinan and they're willing to work with Britain to split oil profits Keir would be on the phone faster than a fly on shit to work out a deal that transfers the Falklands and a thousand tonnes of sterling silver to Buenos Aires.

Andy Burnham has decided against appointing Ed Miliband as ChancellorSenior Allies say Shabana Mahmood is now the frontrunner to replace Rachel Reeves.

Good news! The next chancellor won't be working overtime to ensure energy bill increases of 200% year-on-year, instead they'll be working overtime to ensure the population of Mirpur coming to Britain increases 200% year-on-year!

British Transport Police have released images of a man wanted for an attempted rape on the Bakerloo line on the train

Every single time, without fail, these people look like absolute empty headed demons.

Surely it's sufficient to just say "nah" and put them on the plane the instant you see someone like this? If someone looks like they operate on sheer inertia and base urges and cannot even keep their gaping mouth shut they are clearly not a value to the country and need to be deported before they actually act on those urges and rape someone.

There are actually people in Somalia and Nigeria and Pakistan and Syria who are not sub-80 IQ with the limited thinking of an actual medically-diagnosed retard, and yet the Home Office wants nothing but the absolute dregs of these societies to come en masse.

Dubai opened their doors to the world, and yet everyone they let in is a monied up retard who actually can contribute in some way. They didn't just go to every housing project and dilapidated sea-side town to ship in boatloads of crackhead and skank Westerners.

Keir's trying to get the wheels turning on the Equality (Race and Disability) Bill. This would expand the Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value claims into considering roles that are predominately staffed by ethnic minorities or disabled people.

Beyond @Overly Serious 's good points. What people overlook is that if a metric is rewarded by bureaucrats, people will optimise towards that instead of the market. Systems can be gamed. Doubly so by certain immigrant groups.

Care home workers are disproportionately Black African boriswavers.

You're not actually allowed to use the term "dinner lady" anymore... you gotta use "dinner person/people" thank Jew very much.

I knew a bloke in his 20s who worked in a primary school kitchen, he liked to introduce himself as a dinner lady.
Then he trooned out and blocked me for referring to him using his birth name, but he hadn't told me his new name, or that he was now pretending to be a woman. My transphobia extends to not being a mind-reader.
Bit of a shame really, would've preferred to at least call him a sick pervert first.

I'd like to think he's not still working anywhere near children.

Don’t worry lads, the VPN ban has been called off, because Islamic State In Britain has told the government it’s really important for them.

SNP members have reportedly come out in support of Argentina

Bare in mind, the Argies make no distinction between 'English, Scottish or Welsh' and have been burning Union Jacks since they ran from Goose Green. I am fascinated by SNP's brand of nationalism, Scotland for the Scottish but God forbid they actually tell you what a Scot is. I have a feeling if I, Black Country through and through, moved to Scotland, they'd be able to correctly identify me as English, but an Indian man and a Sudanese sow are somehow just as Scottish as Andy Robertson or ol Rabbie.

It's okay to be nationalist and proud of your identity if you're Scottish, Welsh, or Irish, but god forbid English people be proud or nationalistic in any sense.

This woman is a giant fucking cunt, holy shit. I've never seen a women with a "punchable" face but her smugness just tops it of, she remembered to use her Scottish accent this time!

They'll never admit it, but the SNP's entire brand is simply 'fuck the English'. You may debate among yourselves whether this is based or not, but remember that English-hating comes with a side salad of feminine penis and arresting (white) people for jokes.

Don’t worry lads, the VPN ban has been called off, because Islamic State In Britain has told the government it’s really important for them.

Mashallah how can we run our rape gangs without VPNs, habibi. Please desist with this Islamophobic policy before you find yourself crushed beneath the wheels of a transit van of peace.

It's okay to be nationalist and proud of your identity if you're Scottish, Welsh, or Irish

Not if you're white, unless part of that identity includes worshipping refugees.

What an absolute spastic, lots of people on the Falklands have ancestry from Scotland and lots of Scots died during the war. The SNP really know how to choose 'em.

Scottish nationalism is less pride in Scotland and more doing anything to spite the English, no matter how much you have to cut your nose to spite your face.

If the British government is this discriminatory now, wait until white people are less than 50% of the population

Genuinely the only solution for the white British is violence against their government

Argentines are well aware of the Welsh as there's a massive colony of them in Patagonia.

Also the SNP are actively working to destroy the Union Jack by making Scotland independent thus repealing the act of union that created the Union Jack

I meant rather they don't distinguish between english welsh and scottish when hating on us, the scots don't get 'a pass' when facing Argie wrath. The Argentines used to forbid the Welsh language and Welsh surnames to the Welshies down there, it was only through Britain that the language came back

"We're dailing back our vpn ban because the minorities we've been catering to for the past decade and beyond kept saying they used it to cry for help "

Imagine how much the brits would walk back if thier policies if thier native people did something like that.

That's not even against the law. Fucking pigs making it up as they go again.

It isn't the first time. They make shit up all the time. IIRC They also have a load of bullshit powers for "disturbing the peace".
