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.

Another case of the police being pushed around and ran out, every time this happens it takes a toll on their ability to enforce us.
They really can't afford to keep having this happen.

Statement from Amnesty UK. No outrage over how he was murdered or how the police left him to bleed out in handcuffs. They want to control the narrative around the case.

A man was raped in a park in Cornwall (X). If this is what I think it is, this follows a trend of (gay) men being lured off of dating apps and attacked by refugees, as happened in Dublin and Melbourne recently.

Police have cordoned off a park in a Cornwall town after a man was sexually assaulted late last night.

The serious incident was reported to have happened in Linear Park in St Austell at around 11pm on Monday (June 1).

Devon and Cornwall Police said a cordon has been set up at the scene on Longpark Way while enquiries are ongoing.

Witnesses or anyone with information or dashcam footage that could help the investigation is urged to contact police via the force website or by calling 101 quoting reference 50260139836.

We will keep you updated with our live blog below. Send us information or pictures if it is safe to do so here.

commentary as police have not released any information.

A man was raped in a park in St Austell last night and they havent put out a description.

If a man is able to over power and rape another man, he will be strong, violent and aggressive. This would have been a long and sustained attack, and I do not believe the victim wasn't able to provide basics like weight, height, skin colour and accent.

A man of this level of aggression and strength is now free in St Austell. Its a dereliction of duty to not out out any sort of description to make every effort to arrest this man as early as possibly before he harms someone else.

Edit moustache tweed suit man from the protests last night was Luke Jahn, 'nationalist. socialist' of the National Rebirth Party in Portsmouth.

Charity Groups will really post shit like this and then wonder why they are going to get dismantled. It's like a combination of being unable to read the room while desperately trying to pull you out of that very room. We don't care. Nobody cares. Let people be angry. At this point the whole "STOP BEING RAYCIS AND DIVISIVE!" is only going to make people more fucking mad when it's the MSM response to a horrible crime against a white.

"Irresponsible narratives of two tier policing."
"Don't believe your lying eyes."

Look, don’t be all doompilled, at least the UK has some promising infrastructure upgrades happen.. oh. Oh no.

Mahmood has said "Violence bad!!"

Great, we agree, so that dunecoon is gonna have the bronoid hanged for murder right?

 

[Racial Slurs the Movie]

It's quite remarkable how often Reform snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Could have had an easy win by playing this smartly but nope.

Farage doesn't want to win, the last time he did with Brexit he fled to the US for half a decade, he just wants to make a lot of noise and get money for it.

No, no, see violence bad when normal white people do it. Violence okay when anyone else does it. Because that's expected of them.

 

[Really makes you thunk]

It's so fucking blatant, it destroys any credibility the BBC had left.

Can you really destroy that which does not exist?

Amnesty did not put out a statement this forceful when Ricky Jones was screaming for throats to be slit and one of their staff was seen applauding it.

Their comments on anything these days incite me to support whatever they oppose.

The same Amnesty that full-throatedly support prostitution in the U.K. being a big business, as pushed for by one of the biggest pimps here who joined their ranks specifically to get the empty-headed ‘everything is choice’ idiots at Amnesty onside.

What’s Amnesty’s view on the grooming gangs? Just ‘youth sex workers exercising their agency’?

Sick of being told what to think by posh Tarquins who never have to live with the results of Amnesty’s stupid policies.

It would be nice if it worked like that wouldn't it. The lefties pretend like they understand this but then say how Britain still needs to take them in because they're fleeing war or something, if that fails they move on to falling birth rates etc.

Yeah, then I say it's destruction and dilution of their culture if they don't go back, and on the latter I then accuse them of being a capitalist and falling for "line must go up forever". Any argument they have you can slam back in their face with their own talking points, funnily enough, I just poison said points to suit my own ends. It's like making them argue with a funhouse mirror I guess.

Maybe the retarded lefties I've argued with were easier to mentally break. Normally I just get met with silence and then "Oh God, you're right."

 

[Eekum Bokum]

The protest should have stayed at the police station. Are Tommeh pied-pipered them away into a pointless confrontation.

Doing what he's paid to do. Nothing will change until he's told to fuck off, he ruins everything.

Merlin MK4 crash at 4am this morning (X). Road closures in the Sourton Downs area in Devon

Is it a fantasy to just hope that one day, even if that day is a hundred years from now, that this self-destructive period of the mass importation and normalization of millions of peoples whose cultures and religions are at complete odds with the Western worldview, will become just an embarassing footnote in Western history?, like the many other embarrassing and retarded fads that Western culture adopted as a norm, but they eventually vanished?

Helicopter crashes always seems to be either ‘we scuffed the paint’ or ‘absolute disintegration’ with little in between. From the wreckage I don’t think anyone survived that.

Notice that it coincides with the Boomers and as the Boomers start aging out, it's becoming unpopular?
