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.

77thBrigadePosting? Half the cunts ITT work for them anyhow.

I think this is the final nail in the coffin for the British Government. They are clearly our enemies and we need to take action to stop them and protect ourselves.

Twat your local copper, knife your MP and bomb the mosque until they surrender!

Down with the government! don't let Henry's sacarafice be in vain

Let's all meet at Trafalgar square at 13:00 hours saturday to start the revolution!

Looks like a couple hundred and more down each side of the road; grifters are saying thousands. Christ. Couple signs with the colours of the Polish flag. No sikhs from what I can see.

Turning Point UK video claiming police at top of steps already shoving protesters. Jack Hadders of GBNews is also there as is Lawrence Fox.

I'm wondering if the UK police have Sikh rent-a-rioters on dial. We know they ship in Muslims and Antifa every time an anti-rape protest occurs to cause a "both sides were violent tee hee" narrative and shut shit down. But maybe they don't have some pet Sikhs to ship in right away.

Nigga, you don't give a shit about families. You fucking represented the 9/11 conspirators. You're actually fucking scum, mate, lower than shit.

Yeah, posting.

Dude is literally going "you are not supposed to notice these things stop getting angry"

OSINTfag 'WarMonitor' has allegedly received a tip off about Southampton police (X). Take with grain of salt, but he usually gets good tip offs from airplane spergs about Uki stuff.

A lot of the OSINT crowd tends to have glownigger ties and alliances. If NAFO types are turning on the British Government that is a sign that things must be absolutely horrendous behind the scenes.

Police are already scuffling with the protesters.

[General Emílio Médici]

OI that's problematic innit? Why are the police so white and male? Where are the diverse officers of the modern police force of this multiracial multicultural New Britain?

Knowing the UK government if things escalate they might go full retard and pull another Southport to mass arrest protesters and only escalate the shitshow.

Hampshire police are upset everyone was spreading the wrong PC Parsons, who is now getting death threats apparently (X). This could be easily rectified by posting the names of the officers involved through appropriate channels, such as the courts. One officer has resigned.

Rent-a-hope-not-hate on dial, which given how they're being maneuvered around I'd imagine won't be long until they turn up.

Stephen Yaxley Lennon (Tommeh Ruhbinsuhn) has such incredble Goyimancy skills. I fucking hate the subversive cunt.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

I'm about 90% sure that this Parsons fellow was actually the guy and Hampshire police are fucking bricking it because they're not actually equipped to support anyone from this much public anger, so they're trying to deflect so people won't actually stalk his family.

Goddamn newspeak, "harmful speculation"?!

I thought I grew out of my ACAB phase, but it is coming back to me fast.

I've seen both his alleged address and the house where Henry was murdered posted multiple times across social media today so you may be right.

You should always hate the police. They are the arm of the state and an occupying force.

>A police officer unrelated to this case has been misidentified online and subject to death threats.
I don't think he has, mate.

“Listen, we tried to cover this up and failed, now our dirty laundry is being aired. We are going to investigate ourselves and clear ourselves of any wrongdoing. Please stop bothering us because you know nothing will change. Now back to sleep plebs or we’ll throw you in jail.”

So, will anything actually happen when the sun goes down, do you think?

Shit’s going to get real if the Poles start tooling up, nothing like a bit of Eastern European gangster shootouts.

TBH I'd take a Polak v. Sikh race war about now.
My money's on the Poles. I once watched a Brazilian go at a Pole with a kitchen knife (hospitality in the UK in the mid-2000s) and the Brazilian lost.
