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.

 

[Overly Serious]

There’s a good correlation between owning a semi auto rifle and hating the British government.

Mathematically, unless there's a significant contingent of people who don't hate the British government, this doesn't mean that much.

Stabbing at a Co-op Academy school in Blackley (Manchester)

Female attacker, three people injured, none life-threatening, apparently.

Female attacker,

Lancs Live report the attacker is a 12 year old girl (source).

As a bonus,the place is such a shithole you wouldn't notice difference if it gets destroyed. Hell,a good razing might even improve it.

Winner gets the neutron bomb of their choice detonated over then. Bradford’s charred remains gradually repopulated y humanity and turned into a garden city.
Repeat for Birmingham, page hall, bits of Leeds and most of Manchester.

Road closures and businesses told to close early 'no excuses'. (X) 'Loyalists' (or 'paramilitaries') advise;

Loyalists have planned a massive riot 7PM this evening in Belfast.

All businesses have been instructed to close by 5:30PM.

This message was shared on WhatsApp groups across Belfast.

“please forward all men of the age of 18 and over

Wear dark clothing… and be prepared to fight or be arrested

More coming in…. All business to close at 5.30 pm tonight no excuses”

Irish nationalist pages are also reposting the video, and NI Loyalists and Unionists are calling for protests. There are also pictures coming out of the alleged attacker in hospital with police. This could get seriously ugly

White House tells Starmer to not go ahead with social media ban as it will place burdens on US companies they should not have to deal with.

The bulbhead is apparently Sudanese and not Somalian, for whatever it matters (nothing).

Of more interest is that local MP Gavin Robinson has said that the specimen came here legally on a 5 year visa - quite probably a Boriswaver.

"my heads coming off"
"don't think it is mate"

Wild that this happened just after the Henry stuff went public. Couldn't be a worse possible timing for it. I guess now we just wait and see what happens tonight.

Just imagine the scene in the Stahrmer-bunker, it's a confluence of all the exact things they didn't want to happen. A random foreigner going mental, brutally gory attack, caught on film, unable to contain the footage, narrative not working, in Belfast. Even Reddit hasn't contained this, they're praising Trump for not making an exception for the Somali football ref and demanding the same in Yookay.

Last time something like this happened the Irish burned them out of Ballymena and they didn't come back. This will not be pretty.

 

[Heinrich Maneuver]

The man who was attacked is understood to be in a critical condition but still alive. A LOT of rumours about him being 15? More photos (X) coming out of the attacker in hospital on a drip- are people literally staking out the hospital? More importantly, is this what life in Somalia is like everyday? Just random senseless beheadings and rape? Why haven't we turned it into a sea of glowing cobalt?

Jenrick statement

and Kemi was stocking shelves in MS yesterday and this got a laugh outta me


EDIT: yes they are literally tracking this guy in the hospital

 

[man bun rapist]

It's so fucking funny to me, I have family in England that have literally been replaced by temporary foreigners on work visa's, the previous management made the place so unbearable and hostile to the native whites, that they essentially quit and moved else where. The thing being so funny, is that my family can't put 2 + 2 together, or just flat out refuse to accept it. One is also a police officer, and he can't say anything, he even worries about private phone calls to me about the state of everything.
He works desk duty now, he used to be a beat cop, but the idea of being assaulted or stabbed by a brown who'll most likely be let off wasn't worth the risk. He got in really early mid 2000's thinking "i'm gonna make my country safe, and help the others around me" to just fuck it, let it burn.

I was too young to remember my home country, before its rapid decline, but that's a positive for not having painful childhood memories to look back on as an adult. Also this isn't me giving up on England at all, it's still my true home and for the life of me I hope it can come back, my current country is on the same trajectory as well...

How has the country you moved to managed to avoid having any immigrants? Maybe the UK could copy its methods.

Australia, so nope in the same boat, as to why I said "my current country is on the same trajectory" of course when I look around, it's like 90% white, but for how long I have no idea.

Google tells me Australia is 70% white, the UK 85%.

I don't fully intend to be an arsehole about this but it really annoys me that whenever there is a moment of extreme cultural enrichment anywhere in the world, people from other supposedly white countries jump all over it. This is a problem for the west. For the Anglosphere. Like you said we're in the same boat and we need a unified response.

 

[A-Logato]

Google tells me Australia is 70% white, the UK 85%.

I feel those numbers are fairly outdated at this point.

 

[Decapitated Nigger Baby]

Honestly if I lived in that shit-heap of a country I'd just aim to form all white communities, avoid the government at all costs, stay fit and train hard. Sectarianism is always a way to go. Develop your own lingo, your own non-verbal signs that allow you to tell a member from an outsider. This system is bound to collapse within a couple short years at this point. I'd expect a balkan scenario. You can hide your head in the sand at your own peril.

 

[Treasure Champs]

More importantly, is this what life in Somalia is like everyday? Just random senseless beheadings and rape? Why haven't we turned it into a sea of glowing cobalt?

Sudan, but yeah, pretty much the same sort of shithole that desperately needs turned into glass. Although now I think about it, it might actually be the worst one. Last year it hit the headlines because you could see the blood from space. Exactly the sort of place from which we should all import more military-aged male niggers to enrich the West. Blind boy got real enriched.

Google tells me Australia is 70% white, the UK 85%.

There are rumblings on non-mainstream Britbong sources that these numbers are massaged bullshit. All done several years ago (nigger numbers always go up and white people flee at a rate of knots) and not accounting for boat people, illegals and anyone else the countries have totally lost track of. UK grocery stores estimate there are millions more people in the country than the official toll, and they will all be shitskins.

 

[BongoMongo]

How the fuck do you recover from being blinded,having your face mauled and having some dysgenic, bulb headed tongue clicker nearly decapitate you? I mean really, how do you pick your life up after that?

 

[i440BX]

I wouldn't make blind even my worst enemy. Torture at least is less permanent and doesn't require depriving someone of his abilities.

These shitskin criminals and traitorous elites deserve a painful execution.

 

[Unregistered HyperCam]

The key takeaway here is that he doesn't look back in anger.

 

[diroama]

I have a little pet theory that the rising immigration in the UK and Ireland will ultimately result in either a unified sense of identify among the remaining white population and/or a population entirely of different shades of brown that sees no particular distinction between the two peoples.

In short, multiculturalalism will heal centuries of division. A man's eyesight is a small price to pay.
