UK British News Megathread - aka CWCissey's news thread

https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679

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.

"Haha stupid Americans and their guns always shooting each other. Can't even leave the house without being scared for your life!”

Meanwhile in the UK you show a documentary and go to jail lol.

Never visiting Britain. Never. A literal documentary can get you arrested for terrorism. That's not even counting the butter knife loicences.

It's baffling that he would even stay in the UK and do this given free speech doesn't even exist in the UK. Not saying he's asking for it, but if your doing and saying anti-regime things in a totalitarian police state hellhole...well, you shouldn't be surprised when the bobbies come knocking. Good luck Tommy, and fuck the UK and britbongs in general.

 

[Ravier Xavenblood]

This is why we declared independence from london all those years ago.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

INB4 we get flooded with yanks telling us how our country works.

Tommy Robinson is made up to be the devil by the left and a hero by the right. He's neither, he's just 'The White Van Man' (hopefully people will understand that reference from The Sun). He's just an aggregate of white, working-class, middle-aged men. You go to a building site up north and 99% of the workers will have those views.

Change your name to Nostradamus because your fucking prediction came true almost instantly.

 

[teriyakiburns]

Can someone tl;dr what made the film ban-worthy in the first place?

It supposedly breached the conditions of an earlier charge of contempt of court

 

[Sir Baz the Intolerant]

I've always had mixed opinions on Tommy Robinson, or Stephen Yaxley-Lennon for those that don't know his real name. He's always had a few really shit takes such as being extremely pro-Israel to such a shameless extent that he just about fell short of publicly offering to suck off Natanyahu in front of the Wailing Wall, and the crux of his political position is that Bongland is still wonderful as a multicultural country, as loads of Africans and Indians are great, it's just the Muslims that are the problem.

However having said that, I can't help but respect the man as he has, for years now, found himself as an outright enemy of the state and has been targetted by British police and government agencies to an extent few others have, and all because he took issue with children being gang raped by Pakistanis. And that is to say nothing of the problems he has to deal with from the Muslims in Britain, many of whom wouldn't think twice about slipping a blade into his ribs if given the chance. So despite what I think of his politics, I can't fault the man's spirit in the face of adversity.

He also dropped a migrant nigger in Rome in less than a second with a clean right hook to the jaw, and that's something I can always get behind.

 

[ERROR_ENTRY]

And I suppose you're on the pro gang-rape side of the equation.

So because I think Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (yes, that's his real name) is a piece of shit I'm 'pro gang rape'? No... I just think that criminals like him who have a history of grifting deserve to have the book thrown at them when they knowingly and repeatedly break the law. He's no friend of the working class or any other group, he only cares about himself (and getting paid to suck off the Israeli government).

 

[zionlion1488]

He's a faggot who changed his name to sound more working class and wacks off Jews.

This. All Jews who change their names to sound less Jewish are subversive.

 

[Queesechake]

Change your name to Nostradamus because your fucking prediction came true almost instantly.

Please explain how people making fun of your gay country for being gay is "yanks telling us how our country works." I'll wait.

And today Tommy Robinson has been arrested* under the Terrorism Act [ X ], reportedly for screening his own banned documentary at yesterday's event.

I know very little about Tommy Robinson and he could be an opportunist grifter for all I know, but it sure is starting to look like he's a persecuted unfavorable. Which is to say: regardless the truth of the matter, the silly fuckers are building the man his own legend.

ETA: There is a protest on Downing Street, currently being livestreamed here.

The fool should've released his documentary on Rumble & Odyssey, that way the United Cuckdom wouldn't have a say as to who can watch it.

 

[Coelacanth]

All right listen up tourists. Before I crash into slumber for the night I'm going to highlight just how important this whole thing has been for normies.

We get it. Our country sucks. We know. We hear it every day from dear feeder and the rest of the forums. We're no different from any other trashfire going on in Europe (and California) right now.

The problem with us Bongers is that we follow by example. We can complain all we like to each other about how we let the government turn our home into a literal shithole, but most of the generations beyond WWII have literally had the balls to give those we vote into power a reason to fear us has been stomped out. So I can not state how important the protest that happened yesterday actually was. You can call Tommy everything under the sun but yesterday everyone finally remembered what it was like to actually give the assholes in parliament a reason to be afraid.

Where this will go? I'm not entirely sure. But if it takes a grifter/Jew/whatever to finally do something then so be it.

 

[Sniperwoof]

Oi you cheeky cunt you have a loisence for that documentary?

Off to to clink with ye.

I just think that criminals like him who have a history of grifting deserve to have the book thrown at them. He's no friend of the working class or any other group, he only cares about himself.

This is a dumb take.
Fuentes might be a retarded femboy lover grifter, but i don't wish he'd be arrested on fake 1st ammendment breaking hate crimes or some other bullshit the feds might pull (he was put on a no-flight list for no fucking legitimate reason) it's a fucking retarded move.

just think that criminals like him who have a history of grifting deserve to have the book thrown at them.

You're a fucking retard if you think a grifter deserves the "book" that allows gang-rapists to go free or not be reported due to racism for decades because he's a grifter.

Arresting him makes him look like a legitimate threat and a martyr, mock him all you want on kiwifarms or in public, or go groyper style into his conferences and start shit by asking about how the israelis killed hundreds of british soldiers in 1948 for instance, not wishing for the legal establishment to use fucked up laws to legitimize him.

 

[Fake News Anchor]

Just remember that Tommy Robinson
- A) is literally a Jew is metaphorically a Jew and literally a Zionist who advocates for prosecuting Britons if they criticize Israel or Jewish power

- B) secretly recorded conversations with British nationalists and released the recordings publicly without court order so he could get them in trouble with British law enforcement for 'hatespeech'

- C) crowdfunded from the rightwing to make a documentary which was marketed to donators as about antiwhite violence and government discrimination in Britain, but then once he met his funding goal he instead made the documentary about how most of the rightwing in Britain is racist and problematic unlike him, who likes Jews and nonmuslim POCs

Fuck him, send him to Israel.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Now I want to see this documentary. Anyone got a copy?

 

[SaintChristopher69]

Tommy Robinson's always been fucking idiot. The UK also has some pretty retarded laws.
