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.
 
Última edición por un moderador:
What a shit show, female coppers shouldn't be allowed outside of the station if we really have to employ some.
They should be limited to dealing with kids and battered or raped women, and breaking the news of deaths. There's absolutely a place for WPCs and it's with the things that require kindness and empathy,which quelle surprise, ain't fucking front line policing.
 
The suspect wasn't even handcuffed. The guy with a huge fucking knife is less of a threat than the guy bleeding out on the floor.

Everything about this is awful and gets worse the more that gets out, it would not surprise me in the slightest if there was a visible trail of blood next to him when the police were handcuffing him.

Every single girlboss involved (yes, all three officers were female) should find employment elsewhere, if you're not going to protect the public then what's the fucking point of a public protector like that?
 
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.

commentary on Mousley's remarks in sentencing (archive still down). It seems that the Judge can't quite grasp why Digwa killed Nowak, why he did not just 'get' that he was a fellow Britisher...
In his sentencing remarks, Judge William Mousley makes an implicit criticism of the murderer's actions as an utter failure of multiculturalism.

"As someone who was born and raised in the UK, [self-restraint] should have been your focus rather than any distorted view of your religious traditions."

But in callously murdering Henry Nowak, Vikrum Digwa demonstrated he cared more about a perceived slight to his religious identity than the life of a white fellow citizen.

Some of the remarks suggest that Henry was slashed in the face, and that blood was visible on the ground. EDIT: judge's remarks. He was stabbed in the upper leg and abdomen, as well as the face. Digwa had no visible injuries

Remarks from Lowe after the debate today
1780346668240.png
For those mainly Pakistani men who have inflicted the very worst pain imaginable on innocent British children, please know this.

There will come a day when the power of the British state that concealed your atrocious crimes for so very long is turned against you.

It will be swift. It will be brutal. It will be severe.

Because if Restore Britain gets a sniff of power, there will be a reckoning. I promise you that.

We will show you the same mercy you showed our girls.

Your race or religion will not protect you any longer.

A message will be sent that is heard right across the world.

If you rape our children, you will pay for it - and you will pay for it with everything.

That is what Restore Britain will do.
I have noticed copycat 'Restore' groups popping up in Restore Ireland, and Restore Australia, both are social media only and have no ties to any MPs or councillors from their respective countries yet.
 
@Heinrich Maneuver I can't quote or reply to your post, but I'm really glad that Lowe is speaking like this. I don't have any hope that Restore or a similar party will be elected in the near future, but I'm glad that he's directly addressing Muslims and basically saying "We fucking hate you and we would get rid of every single one of you in a heartbeat if we had the opportunity."

Whether he'd actually do it if he did miraculously get into power is another question, but I'm happy that he's telling Muslims to their face how people actually feel about them.

The way Restore performed in the local elections is evidence that a lot of White British people agree with every word, and I'm glad someone is finally saying it out loud: we've been forced to tolerate them but we fucking despise them. They need to hear it.
 
If there aren't St. Floyd level riots over this the Brits are terminally cucked
The resounding notion from pretty much every single working class mate I have is "Keep your head down, don't get arrested and vote those cunts out". It's actually wild how collectively everyone overnight came to that horrifying conclusion that the police, government and every government agency hates you and wants you to fucking die and it basically lead to Reform going from 10% in the polls to leading them in a month.

The protest is in silence, even 'bait' like releasing the hotel rapist from prison 'accidentally' didn't result in riots. The government should be very scared as there's pretty much nothing the commoners are going to riot about, they're just silently sharpening their knives.
 
If there aren't St. Floyd level riots over this the Brits are terminally cucked.
Hot as fuck weather, check.
A martyr for the right wing to rally around, check.
Political instability and dissatisfaction, check.

Rainbow me but I feel like the white man is about to do a funni like in 2024. And this time we have a reason to hate the polis themselves.
 
I don't think there will be riots, and I don't want there to be riots. Riots would be a distraction from the banal horror of what that bodycam footage shows. It would be drowned out by footage of skinheads smashing windows, sob stories of some kindly Muslim taxi driver being lynched and flags. It would be portrayed as nothing more than racist anger, and be used to perversely justify the police's focus on seeing racism as the most important crime that night.

No this needs to be a source of political anger to drive the change that we urgently, urgently need.

Graham Linehan getting arrested in an airport led to none crime hate incidents being dropped. The response to this murder should be this times 100 with a dramatic and immediate change in how policing operates and the way certain coloured people are protected compared to the rest.

And it needs to be fuel for the broader political changes we need over the next few years.

Leave the rioting to the baboons.
 
This is painful to watch, poor kid. And if anything is death by media, this is. You can tell that the reactions of the police are heavily predisposed by being constantly primed to expect the White person to have been racist, to assume racism and to not question that because it fits the worldview they've been given.

Poor, poor kid. And what an evil fucking bastard the killer is to just be standing there knowing full well the kid may be dying because of a stab wound and being complicit in letting the police think he hasn't.

The worst bit was when they called an ambulance, not for the guy who says he was stabbed and is borderline non responsive, but for the guys who was "assaulted". I genuinely want that bitch to rot in hell.

No, the worst bit is either when they dragged the guy over gravel despite obvious bloodstains around him or the fact that he literally slipped into unconsciousness as the officers told him he had the right to remain silent.

This is far worse than I ever imagined it'd be like, and the strangest part is how at no point during this do you see the "police gave medical attention within minutes" that they straight up lied about in court.

If it wasn't for this being released they might have gotten away with it.
 
All three of the Police Officers in this case should have their assets seized, be banished to Uttar Pradesh and have their British citizenship revoked.
It's the closest place I know to hell on earth.

I'm not even going to watch the video because I'm at my fucking limit and I don't want to start fedposting.
 
This is what his hand looked like ~60 seconds after the police arrived.

This is what they’re going to do to you if you don’t stop them. To your family. To your children. Internalize that.
