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.

Null at Weston-Super-Mare eating a flake 99 for £4, squinting because of the wind, checking the weather app in August and then going "This fucking sucks." as a mental image, cracked me up.

You forgot the ginormous seagull swooping in to steal it.

Where I live in Norf FC, I'm seeing more and more acts of outright hostility, from a range of different people. This ultimately means nothing but it's nice to see. An especial favourite was a wee girl asking her mum why two tongue clickers who were talking okka-booka-ese why they weren't speaking English. The mums response was,"because they're ignorant and rude".

Lots of stuff along the lines of, shit behaviour from niggers or pakis --> annoyed whites --> "we don't behave like that in this country, if you don't like it, fuck off".

Warms my heart to see them being treated like the shit they are.

it was a guy who usually busses doctors to hospitals

Doctors?

he very obviously wasn't happy about all the subcontinental retards with worthless third world university "degrees" that he needs to transport

Oh "doctors".

Did anyone see Yasmin Alibhai-Brown or whatever the fuck she's called mouthing off about the gall of White Britons talking about criminal browns? She literally said it wasn't fair that we talk about brown rapists and stabbers because White men do it too, so when we condemn browns doing it, it means we think it's okay when Whites do it???

So basically, she thinks that browns should be allowed to stab and rape Whites because Whites stab and rape each other. Per capita? I've never even heard of her! Thick bint. They just CANNOT keep their fucking heads down for FIVE MINUTES and allow the natives to lick their wounds, can they? Nope, got to keep on poking the bear.

My view is that browns can stab and rape to their hearts' content, in their own demonic godless shithole countries. We'll deal with our own criminals as we see fit and they can do the same.

Just tell Aladin Alibaba Hashbabilab whomever the magic phrase "Per-Capita" and watch her head explode.

I am of the opinion that foreigners don't get to have opinions here. I'm not listening to some shit skin jigaboo wog, try and tell me about my country. Fuck off. I should be able to shoot them with paintball guns when they try and yap at me in that grunting, grating, subhuman patois accent.

 

[femboy fart huffer]

Insane idea. My mother would breach my house at 3am like a SEAL team if I did that.

If I stopped talking to my mother she wouldn't raid my house or anything like that. She would just be sad mostly and that would be worse. This is because I have a normal relationship with my parents.

You forgot the ginormous seagull swooping in to steal it.

Josh would get the shit kicked out of him by the seagulls. You might be a big boy on the internet but in real life the seagull is the chad. The slow tardy reaction speeds would leave him exposed to a divebombing seagull.

That is not very British of you saaar. In Britain we British love immigrants. Immigrants make the world go round. Now pay for my benefits saaar.

Kid at my secondary got splattered with seagull shit right on his head once, I'd call them evil fuckers but I mean he was a prick so . You really can't be safe around them though, never know when they're gonna drop a bomb on you.

I agree.
I'm also in NorfFC, and at work I'm noticing more customers are saying they are coming into my shop "to support a proper business", usually followed up by "you know, not like those....." and they reel off lots of varieties of either naming ethnicities, types of people, or types of money laundering fronts such as vape shops or barbers which are multiplying on our little high street.

It's sad that they feel the need to follow it up with "I'm not being racist, but...", in order to feel more comfortable about what they are expressing, but at least they ARE expressing it.

There doesn't seem to be a particular age group speaking like this, it's pretty much evenly spread.

Have you been letting them know how you've been hearing that a lot more lately? They might like to know they aren't alone as they might think.

@Null

The consensus from the centre or right seems to feel that this is the beginning of the end. From the various groups of people I have talked to, they are saying, "about time." Another missing factor is that many people aren't saying it's bad.

I assume, with what I know of civil wars, that it will gradually escalate each time until the system buckles. It is clearly evident from the government that, unlike Southport (2024), the feeling of revolution has breached contagion. This, with the dwindling infrastructure, will get harder and harder to manage with each successive skirmish.

We need to organise a cheese dropbox for you. I highly recommend Red Leicester or Double Gloucester. You may be able to find Edam, which is a creamy cheese, whilst being solid.

have you niggers got Tor ready and a shortwave? If the curtain gets drawn I'll be broadcasting from WRMI.

Why is he being worried and careful? Go back to calling us niggers. You're giving me 'hospitalised man suddenly becomes happy and talkative' vibes.

76% of Pensioners own their house, sell that and downsize,

So buy up and move into the very houses that first time buyers need, whilst also pushing up the prices of these houses?

And who is buying the houses they downsize from? Not first time buyers.

He realised where some of the best cheese comes from. A good creamy lancashire almost makes up for vordrak.

Red leicester rules. I like bit of cheddar, red leicester, chives, onion and on a black pepper and salt cracker.
