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.

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.

@Heinrich Maneuver I can't quote or reply to your post,

Posts over a certain length can't be replied to with the bottom right buttons. Highlight the specific section you want to reply to and it should pop up with the quote or reply options to that specific section. If a post is too long then it makes replying to it pointless because it's hard to tell what you are even replying to and it makes the thread too long with redundant text.

The take is that this is the father managing to communicate (despite the best efforts of the Family Liaison Officer) that controls on carrying knives need to apply to all knives

The real optimistic take is that I am buying a fucking suit of armour and a nice long sword and fucking deus vult and all. I don't fucking want more restrictions on pointless shit. I want the fucking murderers hung and I want the illegals deported. I should be able to walk around with a sword if I please. I should not have my freedoms infringed upon because some fucking retarded cunt killed someone. My (singular person) freedom is worth more than the lives of every fucking immigrant in this country and the entire population they came from.

Found a couple of clips of the vigil and the pieces of shit counter protestors:

If you are protesting a fucking vigil for a murder victim I am going to assume that you are both pro murder and also a necromancer and thus should be hung for crimes against God. This is demonic witchery. Yea brought out my signs hopefully if I wave them around enough the fucker will pop back to life?

large, decorative blades without much practical use.

None of the 'banned' blades have any logic or reason to them. The only thing they have in common is that some fucking retards used them to kill someone. The reason why zombie knives are banned is because some fucking nig teens tried to behead someone with one. That's it. They let the teens of with a lenient sentence and instead went after what they used. Zombie knives being mostly blunt aluminium. There's no law against large or decorative blades. The law is against shit facebook mums get pissy over and the government can use as a cheap quick win to appear to be doing something good. They ban knives in the same way they ban vpns and so on. Oh think of the children, you wouldn't ever want to be against the children would you? They say while actively allowing rapists and murderers off on incredibly light sentences and half the time they make up the fucking parties trying to pretend to give a shit.

5Pillars being Islamic as shit again. (X)

As a non straight guy there is nothing I want less than immigration. I am not retarded and I know for a fact if any muslim government came in to power they would instantly execute any of the 'lgbtqi+' community. Just like socialism you cannot have gay rights and islam. They are patently incompatible. If we lived in a country ran by the immigrants every single lgbtqi+ person would be killed within the year.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

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.

Put it this way, the footage dropped last night about 9pm. The officers may well have gone home to their families by then, if they weren't still on patrol.

The public response was to find one of them in mere minutes. Given that they probably didn't expect this they can't just call PC slayyyy or PC dontthinksomate and go "fuck, get in your car and drive to seven counties north to stay in a travelodge for a few weeks", given how sluggish public officials are with anything urgent it's possible they still haven't actually found a solution to keep them safe until it all blows over. How DO you even sort something like this out if you're their superiors? If this was a private company it's likely they'd have already been given golden handshakes to fuck off and stop tainting the business, but with public officials they can't just do that, especially considering they might actually be an accessory to manslaughter.

In fact I bet they're really fucking glad that a massive protest is going on right now because every single one of those officers has the perfect distraction to get the fuck out of town while the mob is elsewhere.

It's fear, and it's proof that we're winning. If they were actually going to charge the brother and the dad with anything they wouldn't have released the footage last night, but the response overnight spooked them so much they had to do SOMETHING to stop the public from kicking off.

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.

My money's on the Poles. The polacks near me growing up were fucking insane. I have never liked poles but I do respect them because they have a very tight sense of what is it to be Polish, having only gotten their country back in the 90s after decades of oppression and having their people carted off by Soviets, and do not shy away from accusations of 'nationalist'. Every single one I know loved Poland more than they loved breathing or alcohol or beating their wives.
That being said, how Polish is he? The dad doesn't have the accent, did he grow up here? Are Josef and Nikodem really going to show up with their tools? Maybe, because Poles do like a fight.

 

[Gregis]

Probably shouldn’t say stuff like this when Ofcom is monitoring this site like a hawk.

not disagreeing though

Don't worry about good old Betonhaus, ofcom cannot touch him! He is actually a Canadian man, he looks like this

and he posts like this
He also likes fedposting about American politics.

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.

Compare and contrast the signs held by the people at the vigil - handmade, all unique - with the slick, high-budget, mass-produced, identical* signs we see carried by every single drone at every single "organic" Hope Not Hate etc protest. It's night and day: there is an extremely well-funded machine behind the forceful destruction of the West, and the resistance to it is real people with their own thoughts and no external funding or organisation.
I am getting angrier by the minute kiwibros. I want these people to be held to account.

*also fucking ugly, plastered in logos, and usually featuring the telltale Leftist shithead wall of text

 

[Eekum Bokum]

One of those 'nativist' types posted on twitter a while ago that he 'had a friend' in Southampton who was racially abused by Sikhs asking if he was Polish and suggested there was Polack vs Sikh hatred in Southampton for a while.

Why Polish Specifically?

 

[femboy fart huffer]

My money's on the Poles.

There are lots of skills that Poles have that are applicable to murder. Working in a farm field with a scythe? Easily applicable to a neck. Stealing copper? Guess what those big shears can also be used on.

 

[Oxyjen]

Maybe the Polacks are the only group who stand up to the brownoids invading their turf.

Here's my question: were the officer correctly identified, what would be the response? Is it possible that it would just be this? They do lie.

Tommy calling to 'get that fucking family [Digwa] out of Southampton'. Huge cheers from the crowd.

Why Polish Specifically?

Polacks are mostly Catholic, could be a religious thing, or a 'competition' thing if cheap Sikh migration drove the Polacks out of the cheap/ghetto housing and jobs in Southampton. Or it's just more fucking mindless tribal violence imported over here.

 

[Wigger Rights Advocate]

I'm proud to say that I've always been a chud. I'm of the prophetic schizo variety where the people around me go "oh no, you were right all along." because I can fucking read books.

To be fair I was a chud first, and then had a little leftist phase for a couple years. 12 year old me was right all along

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.

Never seen so many white people gathered around in one spot. Funny how all the amazing diversity of the UK just couldn't make it to this protest, it's almost like they're the enemy

Is there a good livestream?

That being said, how Polish is he? The dad doesn't have the accent, did he grow up here? Are Josef and Nikodem really going to show up with their tools? Maybe, because Poles do like a fight.

First gen Poles in London are pretty riled up. Based on language estimates from the 2021 Census there's about 12k Poles in Southampton (about 5% of the population) compared to about 4k Sikhs (about 2% of ths population).

I've not tried doing a deep dive on Polish language media. Odds are if he was 19 (so born in 2007 ish) he'll be second generation Polish and his parents will be Poles. Think about when the wall came down, Poles only really started moving here in the 90s, it's unlikely he's third gen unless his parents were very young when they had him.

And look at this young man

That's basically what you get if you ask ChatGPT to generate "a nice young Polish boy". If the Poles rally round, this will get very ugly very fast. And in a way that can't easily be managed by the usual "English people are being racist" methods.

 

[Heinrich Maneuver]

Is there a good livestream?

Not of the courts, but on UKSploosh people are now marching down the roads. It seems too many people showed up and have now left the courts and are going... somewhere. I think Tommy broke it up and directed people away. There are shouts of 'We're not here for Tommy Robinson'.

 

[Canoodler]

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

Never forget that the cops are not your friends.

I heard him say earlier they're marching to the home of the killer's family. They're clearly not going to be there, but it sends a message. Hopefully things get spicey.

Edit: Cops have the road blocked. Riot gear coming out.

 

[Tall Man in a Small Car]

I don't know if anyone else is still watching the livestream. Everyone is just walking the streets now, not sure where they're aiming to get to. It's eerie how quiet they all are. The odd person keeps shouting a slogan but no one chants back. Can't be arsed to shout meaningless slogans any more? Quiet before the storm?
