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.

I need to find the video because it was on my burner, but on my feed, there was a video of Starmer and Lammy being escorted to their car;

Here you go.

ETA - don't think this is a new video., comments say 2022.

Or it's like when all your neighbours come to your house, gang-rape your kid, gang-murder your wife & gang-burn your house down. Factually, it's a larger issue which is affecting more people, more women and children patriots like you are desperate to protect.

Do you sincerely think that those British nationals receiving cautions and sentences are of white British heritage?


I don't think anyone will argue here that there aren't white British rapists, criminals, murderers, etc. - the issue is when their existence is used to justify adding to pile with ultra-aggressive third worldists or to hand-wave them away. The existence of bad eggs isn't justification to bring in more.

 

[Mister Fister]

Last night exposed how badly policing has been cut across the whole of the UK in just ten years. It should genuinely be a wake up call to at least throw a lifeline to anti-immigration protestors because it's abundantly clear that even four districts worth of police can't cope with an organised, pissed off bunch of rioters.

Last night saw people straight up going into migrant houses and setting them alight and the police couldn't do anything but watch because they knew it'd very likely result in serious harm. Last night saw the line completely fail in seconds, allowing rioters to torch the police cars with zero effort.

To really hammer home how much the police were outnumbered, remember the videos of the water cannons being transported up? Did you see any water cannons last night? No. The police were too fucking scared to use water cannons.

And this was a snap protest arranged in less than 24 hours on a Tuesday night.

This isn't even as bad as it could have gotten, I'm genuinely astounded MPs are just repeating the same talking points they've been saying for 10 years when there should be emergency meetings all over the place.

And this isn't even a solution that can be fixed quickly by hiring more police officers, there isn't a fucking process for starting a hiring campaign and having them on the streets in 3 months, let alone a week. It's just astounding to see politicians and the public living in two completely separate versions of the UK.

Do you want to be a police officer when the population you're trying to control just realized your badge means nothing? Who are capable of planned tactical violence and view the police as traitors?

Technically not British news (British Isles news, I guess) but the trial of the Algerian piece of shit who stabbed three children outside a Dublin preschool has started. This girl is now 5, she would have been around 2 or 3 at the time of the attack.

This was a government policy choice, this attack. .

EDIT: Correction, she was 5 at the time of the attack and is 8 now.

This isn't being overlooked - it's a disaster which absolutely needs to be confronted to protect citizens - not a subject matter for media grifter profit.

Even the fucking UK authority silently acknowledged migrants commit more crime than British natives. Fuck off to your disinformation department, you glowie.

Bit of a crosspost but protests have been occuring in Dublin all afternoon as well after it was revealed the beheader came from Dublin; views outside the GPO building. Protestors were prevented from reaching the Dail (X) A stream for the Dublin protests got turned off after an African man started speaking and the streamer said 'I'm not platforming him'.

'HMO targets' addresses and 'immigrant lawyers' offices are being shared on wattsapp and twitter. [ETA: students are coming out and saying their houses (which are HMOs) are on the list. This could get extremely nasty]
Videos are coming out of businesses being shuttered in Belfast.
Is this thread fucked up/being jannied or is every post out of order?

That, and how soul sucking must it be to know a repeat,known, prolific offender will repeatedly get a cursory slap on the wrist? There's no love lost on my end for the police but if that's not the epitome of a Sisyphean feat then I'm damned if I know what is

He's just pretending to not understand, so that discourse becomes impossible.

Oh so it's not just something on my end? Weird.

If I was a police officer I would have quit in disgust years ago, then again I'm not the kind of runt that gets off on abusing innocent people.

Absolutely shambolic policing. They’re lucky that those protestors were peaceful, all it would take is one lad with a pistol or a Shinzo special and I doubt there’s anything they could have done to stop them.
That look of terror in Lammy’s eyes at 0:03 is pretty funny though.

 

[SchizoDaemon]

Yup, I am glad we are talking to the same people, because this is one of the big issues there right now. Cybersecurity in general is awfully paid if you do the grunt work.

It just wasn't a good deal apart from the pension. They pay £10k less than I get now, the recruitment process takes ages, and as I said on another thread, they were raiding journalists the week before, which had pissed me off.
They really have to pay people more if they want them to be interested, like another 20-30k. Most of the talent is sucked up by finance in London and gambling companies.

I emailed the guy back and explained this. He phoned me back about 3 months later and obviously hadn't read my mail. He was quite taken aback when I told him why I wasn't interested.

A lot of defence contractors in the UK are interviewing and keep on getting requests to apply for job postings there, and everything requires SC clearance or higher.

If I was a police officer I would have quit in disgust years ago, then again I'm not the kind of runt that gets off on abusing innocent people.

The anarchists often say that "the police are the jackboot of the state". Unfortunately, too often that is true.

Is this thread fucked up/being jannied or is every post out of order?

Not sure what's going on but I had this thread cached from last night and there are 3 whole pages missing in the count, so maybe some people have been fedposting a bit too much. Who the fuck knows. Seems to be more of a technical issue though as I've gone back and read the last 5 pages about half a dozen times just to see what I missed. Each and every time each post was out of order and synch. I'm sure normal service will be resumed some time soon...

 

[Unregistered HyperCam]

Are any you even aware this happened a few weeks back, or is it so commonplace that it's no longer worth discussing?

 

[Heinrich Maneuver]

Oh so it's not just something on my end? Weird.

Yeah i assumed MiW had come back again and some mod was deleting his spergouts?

Large police presence reported at Belfast City Hall. 'More police' than last night but still quiet (X) Also seems to be more twitter journos turning up so we will see how that goes after Aris Roussinos was threatened and had his phone checked for photographs. Reports of Derry and Coleraine being shut down too. We shall see what the night brings

 

[Gregis]

7.5 billion of that is already promised to the new jet, The Tempest

Dude, I bet I could put on a production of The Tempest for only 7.5 million pounds.

Is this word from your top secret government source? Go out and read the data yourself instead of shoveling goyslop articles down your throat.

Do you sincerely think that those British nationals receiving cautions and sentences are of white British heritage?

The data for this is dog shit, make of it what you will:

Spoiler: 22/25 UK Arrests By Ethnicity

I don't think anyone will argue here that there aren't white British rapists, criminals, murderers, etc. - the issue is when their existence is used to justify adding to pile with ultra-aggressive third worldists or to hand-wave them away. The existence of bad eggs isn't justification to bring in more.

I completely agree; my argument is against the false outrage & selectivism from a lot of the mainstream right. Be angry about the entire shit show, and don't vote for a party which exploits & appeals to a single issue.

It seems to be fixed now, I’m guessing the mod tools have a bug where if a post is deleted then future posts don’t get numbered correctly. So if posts #50-57 get deleted but posts #58 and up don’t, the forum software makes new posts use numbers #50-57 before continuing onto #71 or whatever the last post number was. And since posts are ordered by their number and not by post date things get confused for a little bit. It’s happened a few times before in other threads but it doesn’t seem like Null is capable of or willing to fix it.

Here's the government's official figures adjusted per 1,000, which shows, ultimately, that white people are under-represented vs. the population at large:

Also, unlike you, I bother to cite my sources (link).

This also, as far as I'm concerned, is far of the mark of the arrest rates that South Asians should be hitting were the police force bothered in the slightest by the grooming gangs and all the scams they're running.

[GratsTheat783]

Would Britain have been better off not getting involved in WW2? I feel there's a lot more sentiment lately that the sacrifice wasn't worth it.

I have had to explain to Llyr and Nigel that yes I did use Kiwi Farms

The idea of explaining to Nigel Farage what Kiwi Farms is sounds really funny to me. How many UK politicians do you think know what Kiwi Farms is?

A while ago, I did consider whether I should send an email to Null suggesting he try and get onto Nigel's GB News show as he talked to people who'd been cancelled, but I never did so the Null x Farage collab will never come to fruition.
