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.

She's probably trying to infer that rape is a violent non consensual act in which no is said multiple times.

I think you’re right, and this is really slimy and dishonest of her - ANY sexual activity with a minor is rape. They smear these girls as being little slags and that they think diminishes the horror of it.

You're not brave.

I think if you’re willing to stand up and face these bloody politicians you’re pretty brave. They don’t have to do that.

 

[the rat]

They smear these girls as being little slags

Now now, the proper phrase is "white trash". Please do be mindful and have some respect for all victims by using the correct terms.

Why are they even discussing this? They should be talking about muslim men who rape white girls and how this was allowed to happen.

We live surrounded by true evil. Why discuss the obvious when you can skirt around it and protect your pension?

 

[tack så mycket]

12 police officers have had to show up in court due to an altercation in court between the Digwa and Nowak families, with a 'man in a turban' shouting 'racist' at the judge according to those present.

"You're racist if you punish us for stabbing White people to death." Great look guys, very sympathetic. Based Sikhbros etc.




Interesting that Starmer basically says the reason it's sad that Henry Nowak was knifed to death is because he wasn't actually a racist. I suppose if he had been a racist, his family's grief would matter less. They never stop telling on themselves.

"This an awful, shocking case. Henry's loved ones have gone through the trauma of a long trial and endured Henry's killer making up appalling claims about their son who was thoughtful, kind and deeply loved.

 

[Swerf'n'Terf]

Archiving Mark Novak's speech outside court - Henry told police he had been stabbed four times and that he couldn't breathe 9 times. Fucking hell.

Edit: switched the video for a longer one.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

This is why we need more immigration, had a good immigrant intervened to stop the bad immigrant killing the other good immigrant then nothing would have happened.

 

[BongoMongo]

I don't know or especially care if Nowak was Polish. He died at the hands of stupid, retarded WPCs who let him die because a brown piece of shit stabbed him and then lied.

Said piece of shit was allowed to carry a knife because his alien faith apparently decrees it. Said piece of shits mum helped him try to get away with this. Piece of shits experiences taught him that lying about racism allows him to do what he wants and the cunts who were first on scene enabled this.

Let this be a lesson, when a white guy tells a police officer that he can't breathe, he's fucking telling the truth. These police officers all deserve the same treatment Chauvin got across the pond, but they're actually guilty of extreme criminal incompetence rather than guilty of following standard procedure. (Though at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a clause for 'kill whitey' in the standard UK Police handbook.)

 

[Oxyjen]

Family Liaison Officers strike again.

 

[Symbol of the Chud]

Somebody HAS to stop these knives from just running through the streets and stabbing people!

 

[BongoMongo]

Family Liaison Officers strike again.

Honestly, of all the people who work for the police for, they're the worst. Obsessed with following the agenda and the party lin and insanely dangerous. Horrible individuals.

 

[Muppetstudios]

Bring back the crawling order!

 

[Anomalous Coward]

The fact he disposed of the supposedly sacred knife that must be carried at all times proves the religion is completely phoney.

How would the UK respond to White people larping as towel head jeets?

I feel like someone needs to try this. For science, innit?

I only read a summary so far but it seemed that his parents took the knife and concealed it, knowing at the time he’d stabbed someone and then let him die on the floor while lying about it?
They should all be deported.

They should be deported to the middle of the fucking Atlantic ocean.

The Mormons are missing a trick for increasing conversions in the UK, they just need to make carrying a 1911 part of their religious garb along with the magic underwear.

My view is pretty simple: It is not burdensome to collect this information. This information will provide a much clearer picture of child molestation in this country. More information means greater ability to deal with the problem.

The treadmill they're running on is "We don't have a good enough reason to collect information on this particular protected characteristic, so it's not allowed for us to do it on this metric" -> "People say there's an issue with this protected characteristic in relationship to this metric, but there is no data to suggest that (because we don't collect it)" -> "We don't have a good enough reason to collect information on this particular protected characteristic, so it's not allowed for us to do it on this metric".

The basic, basic logic is there (you don't ask someone's religion when they claim pension credits for example, because it isn't necessary to issue pension credit and there's no reason to suspect it'd be relevant), but that logic is deliberately being maliciously applied to cover things up.

 

[BongoMongo]

If a white person assaults a black person,it's defacto racism. If a none white person kills a white person then it's just dey culcha.

Someone remind me again how non whites have it so bad? Or why racism against non whites is bad. Or how whites are inherently privelidged?Because sure there's obviously ones who don't kill or rape but the net cost to us as a people is far, far higher than any potential benefits.

In the UK if you're bleeding out an a jeet accuses you of racism the police will handcuff you and deny you medical treatment.
