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.

'SICK ATTACK' Girl, 17, ‘raped by four Afghan nationals including 16-year-old boy over several hours after being lured to home’ (X)
A TEEN girl was raped by four Afghan nationals including a 16-year-old boy after being lured to a home and plied with vodka, a court heard.

Mehrab Safi, 21, Awal Ahmadzai and Salman Habibkheil, both 19, and the schoolboy allegedly attacked the girl in Bristol.

Jurors heard she had been out with a friend Christmas shopping when they got talking to Safi, who they had not met before.

He later asked her to add him on social media platform Snapchat before requesting nude photographs of her on November 28.

Two days later, Safi allegedly arranged for a taxi to take her from her home in Somerset to Bristol in the early hours.

She was initially dropped off in an industrial area of the city, where Safi was waiting with Habibkheil, before they got into another taxi which took them to a house in the St Werburghs area.

Once there, she was provided with cigarettes and vodka before being allegedly raped by Safi and his co-defendants, Bristol Crown Court heard.

Ed Hetherington, prosecuting, said: “The prosecution say that they sexually abused a young girl who Mr Safi had met and began grooming only days before the rapes took place.

“On November 30 last year, Mr Safi and Mr Habibkheil arranged for her to be brought by taxi to meet them in Bristol in the early hours of a Sunday morning.

“Once she arrived, she was taken to a home in St Werburghs and she was very quickly expected to have sex with Mr Safi.

“She didn’t want to, not yet, but it happened anyway.”

The court was told after she was allegedly raped by Safi, the other three defendants “took it in turns to get her alone in a bedroom or in a bed and to have sex with her against her wishes”.

Mr Hetherington said she was “plied with alcohol and cigarettes to secure her compliance”.

He added: “She was alone.

“She was isolated in an unfamiliar city miles from home, in the dead of night, with a house full of men she didn’t know.

“We say she was raped and she was abused repeatedly over a period of several hours.”

Jurors were told the alleged sex attack ended when the girl’s mother contacted police.

Safi denies one count of human trafficking and two charges of rape.

Habibkheil has pleaded not guilty to one count of human trafficking and one charge of rape.

Ahmadzai denies one charge of rape and one of assault by penetration, while the 16-year-old boy denies one charge of rape.


Their trial is expected to last up to three weeks.
 
Returning briefly as a Mod here reached out to me and asked if I had come back as a new account.

To clarify, no - I only have one account which is registered to a DNMX account and I do not feel the need to have multiple or sock accounts. @Champion of Khorne is not me, I have no idea who he/she is but I see that this newcomer is now getting the same treatment on here that I did for not kowtowing and ditching my support for Nigel Farage and Reform UK despite working for the party and supporting Nigel from when he was leader of UKIP and then The Brexit Party which morphed into Reform UK.

@Champion of Khorne welcome to Kiwi Farms, enjoy the future backstabbing from people who claim to be your friends but then round on you. I see that you're not a fan of Nigel, which is fine, but can any of the Nigel-knockers seriously give a reason as to why they don't like him? Is it because they actually fear that when he becomes PM they'll literally have nothing to moan about and why the adoration for Rupert Lowe when all he is doing is helping Labour stay in power... not really as if there's some Labour and OFCOM shills here is it? Speaking of shills, where's Duane Dibbley? Oh... of course! @Otterly at least is a good and decent person and she has my respect.

As I've recently been promoted within Reform UK (and make of that what you will) I am no longer going to be active here so @Null can nuke my account if he sees fit. It's been a great time recently for us with the roaring success of the Council Elections last month and we are now the second largest party in the Senedd which also means that whilst Plaid are the largest party they haven't got the majority required to get laws passed etc. without the support of other parties - essentially a coalition of chaos could be heading Wales' way if all parties cannot be adult and work together. I'll give Rhun a chance and TBF he's an improvement on Drakeford, Gething and Morgan (aka Wales' version of the Three Stooges) though that's quite a low mark.

Speaking of elections, I've also been up to Granada-land (showing my age here) recently to support Robert Kenyon in Makerfield and spent time in the area and nearby in Wigan where the atmosphere is definitely very pro-Reform UK and although Andy Burnham is favourite to win the seat (at least according to the polls) it's really a by-election which we won't 'lose' either way... let me explain... if Burnham wins then it puts significant pressure on Starmer over the weeks before the summer recess and then during mind July-September the plotting will ramp up just in time for their sojourn in Liverpool (the Conference). Could we see Starmer forced out by then if the Unions follow through on threats to withdraw funding as well as support? Odds are that the motion to oust Starmer will go ahead then - unless he calls a (redacted because it will trigger people). However, should Reform UK win, this will see the demise of Starmer hasten and the letters will be going in to Jessica Morden MP demanding Starmer out or a slew of Backbenchers will quit - there's even talk from 'on high' that some Labour MP's are even thinking of reviving 'Change UK' or resigning the Whip and forming a new party so as to take down Starmer's majority. This would mean that by the time of the recess his position would be untenable (as opposed to Tenable which I am sure @Chunky Salsa is a fan of... maybe) and the pressure to go would be insurmountable.

Either way, Starmer is probably safe until the Conference, and the leadership contest will take two months at least to produce a winner with the recess being a time to garner support in the background rather than any hardcore campaigning. Whilst Burnham is in the running, you will also have Rayner, Streeting and Miliband jostling for the top job as well as outsiders Shabana Mahmood, Al Carns with possibly Lucy Powell and Jess 'I don't like Sargon' Phillips as well possibly throwing their hats into the ring. There are currently 98 Labour MP's who oppose Starmer continuing in office, which would be enough to force Starmer into a minority government should they resign the Whip, but 159 Labour MP's whilst maybe not wholly supportive of Starmer want him to continue 'for the sake of party unity'.

Now, a message from the REAL Llyr Powell (sorry to break it to you but I am not him, have never been him but have recently met him) - he was recently sent death threats by somebody (or somebodies) who is a member of this site. I have had to explain to Llyr and Nigel that yes I did use Kiwi Farms and they have advised me not to use the site going forward, though both have appreciated my reasons for using it and both advocate for freedom of speech and have no issue with Kiwi Farms' purpose save for the couple of idiots who, thinking I was Llyr Powell, have taken their hate campaign against me into the real world. At a time when this site is facing a kicking from Starmer and OFCOM, the last thing it needs is members actively working against what @Null has tried to create and making itself look bad instead of the victim (which I believe it is, given the relentless attacks from both the MSM and DDOS obsessed trolls who have been cyberattacking the website recently). All because I won't end my support for Reform UK - a party which, needless to remind you of, has lead the polling since April 2025 and only on two occassions has it tied with other parties and once dipped below Labour (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election)

NO - OTHER - RIGHT - WING - PARTY - HAS - ACHIEVED - THIS - IN - THE - SAME - TIMEFRAME

Yet, somehow, Rupert Lowe is going to be our next PM... because people here say he is?

Just be careful that he isn't a HNH shill... after all, he was quite pally with Labour peoples when he was Chairman of Southampton FC.

Reform UK may not be everybody's cup of tea, but we are the only option on the Right of politics that has a credible and sensible chance of winning power - definitely before 2029 and the way things are going with the tranches of the Mandleson affair (not to mention the inability of Whitehall to do its job and spot rogue cameras and the likelihood of Starmer being a literal 'Chink' in Britain's defence... yes I am labelling him as the Chinese Spy a la Harold Wilson working for the KGB in the 1970s) then who knows.

Anyway nice (or mostly nice) knowing of the ones here who were decent (mass) debators.

@Null Reform UK will make it official that they will axe OFCOM when their next manifesto is launched, feel free to reach out to the party at any time.
 
Imagine telling Null to reach out to fucking Reform UK when Farage collaborated with the state to try put Lowe in prison over bullshit gun charges </3 never go full retard

Could it be the fact that Nigel constantly flip-flops on his position, inviting all the rats from the Conservative party in that did the opposite of what they were promised to do into his party, and there was serious fuckery with UKIP after Nigel left?

Suspiciously, his image was then rehabilitated by appearing on reality TV shows.

He will say anything for cash:


That couldn't be anything to do with why people don't trust Farage.
Reform UK may not be everybody's cup of tea, but we are the only option on the Right of politics that has a credible and sensible chance of winning power - definitely before 2029.
"Vote for us because we are the lesser of the evils." That was essentially the argument for voting Conservative over Labour.

Heard all this shit before.
