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.

 

[LeChampion1992]

Meanwhile London is only 40% white and there are imams literally plotting the next caliphate.
The UK is fucked.

Most British people would rather be fake and gay than ever do anything that is perceived as far right.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

Indeed, as after all this is a British thread for British people and there's nothing for Yanks here.

He said on an American website.

 

[Local FloRida-man]

Brits truly deserve themselves.

 

[Sooty Soot]

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.

we mutts are white or however the McCholestorol is eaten yeah

 

[Fred Jones -Traplord]

This was a great advertisement to get me to watch his documentary,

Cant believe how many bongs knew the muslim kid was a nigger and the police never deported his whole family. To be fair the british deserve to get fucked

 

[TonySopranoFan57]

The people in charge really want to make an example of Tommy Robinson. You have to remember all of the people in charge can't have Tommy let people think it's okay to criticize Islam or immigration. The powers that be will pull back on the trans shit, they will let the woke lose a few battles. But the demographic replacement of mostly white western nations into brown third world slave masses is still the main goal. Tommy Robinson can say Islam is a disease and that's allowed.
But Tommy can't be allowed to speak up against the sacred cow that is mass migration.

It's an absolute shame as well for all the shit I will talk on the Anglo I can because they are of my race when I see some gross shit colored skin subhuman in my sight my mood is instantly lowered because I have to look at some monstrosity like a nigger or dune coon like God hated them so much he made them as ugly and retarded as possible while the brits just have fugly teeth. anyway 4 dollars a pound TND hopefully soon

He founded the English Defence League which unlike the British Nationalist Party managed to draw in both Working Class and Middle Class support. "Suits and boots" as a Met officer once described it. And that is anathema to the British establishment. Large political change happens when the Middle Class and the Working Class start working together. That's how the French Revolution happened.

Ah, yes, the strong middle class base of the EDL.

Unlike the yobbish BNP

Most of us don't tend to go into the US thread posting "imagine being American" and making school shooting jokes whereas Americans only ever come to this thread to make loisecnse jokes.

It's the only joke us Americans have a loicense for.

If only they had America's first amendment.

All of the first Ten Amendments were written specifically because Britain had violated them in the lead up to the Declaration of Independence.

Yeah I don't quite know wether to bless him for having the balls to do this or say he's a well intentioned dumbshit. This is only slightly less stupid than refusing to bow to trannyism on Twitter, with your real name as your username, without J K Rowling levels of wealth to defend you.

I give the dude credit because he's staying to stand up for his homeland in his own way instead of fleeing.

 

[Battlefield2142EU]

UK the gayest police state in the world.

 

[Chaos Theorist]

Maybe Tommy can be forced into exile and go live in Slavistan and spend his days obsessing over cheese and the juden

 

[lamppost]

britain moment

you guys can’t help cuck out at every single opportunity

This thread is gay as fuck and I have no interest in joing in with this faggotry.

@AnOminous

So he says something true, gets sued for libel for it, gets evidence it's true, it's thrown out over an NDA that someone else, not him, had signed, and then they get to vilify him publicly forever and he isn't allowed to produce the evidence that he isn't a liar.

Yeah I don't necessarily agree with it, just trying to understand it. I haven't read the court transcripts but my assumption is that Tommy Robinson was forced to go to court with one hand tied behind his back due to the efforts of the local council, muslim leaders, and the MSM, leaving him open to being picked about by a good solicitor.

That may be wrong, and the trial may have also been completely fucked, I dunno.

The important point is still that the MSM won't touch this.

 

[MugolEx]

Bit out of the loop with this. What is this documentary about that they label it as terroristic? Does it show middle eastern brown people acting like middle eastern brown people?

 

[Shadow Man Dingo]

A limey cunt who loves Isreal getting fucked by a government in a country overrun by illegal muslim immigrants. Who cares? The UK gets shittier and funnier every minute of every day. The first sentence would have been a good idea for a fiction book 10 years ago and now it's just sad. I went to Scotland ages ago and the Scottish friend told me "don't offend anyone or you will get arrested and deported for hate crimes." What a fucking joke country full of spineless cunts.

 

[Divine right to rule]

Ah yes, british nationalism.
A hotly contested scene between Mi6 and Mossad.

 

[F40PH]

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.

Tommy has been around a long time, and although he is without a doubt an opportunistic grifter, he is a huge threat to the British establishment, which is why they are clammering to label him as a terrorist at any given opportunity. They have tried about a gorrillion times to put him away on absolute bullshit charges, and whenever they do so, it causes a small media shit storm in the UK and in the end absolutely fuck-all ever happens. Judging from the replies on the Xeet, though, it looks like Elon Musk might get involved, so this could get retarded really quick if we're lucky.

As a personal note, given how shit the EDL's optics are, I'm honestly starting to wonder if they're a British glowie gayop to reduce support for their message among the general public in the UK. The American Kiwi's probably aren't aware, but the EDL are comprised of unemployed mongoloids who wear football hooligan sportswear brands like Stone Island, and act like absolute pieces of shit at rallys and protests, which the goyslop media really loves to serve up to Deano and the Mrs on a silver platter to gawk at from the astro-turfed postage stamp of a back garden. A bunch of working class yobs wearing balaclavas waving Union Jacks, flipping off the camera, and screaming about how much they hate paki's in the most uneducated tone possible just doesn't seem authentic or representitive of the British working class to me, and it actively belittles and reduces support for British patriotism.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

Free publicity.

 

[passionpoop]

This Tommy fellow seems kind of based honestly. Why are there bongs in thread who seem to dislike him over being a little bit of a grifter when he's got other qualities, like his fucking balls, that outshine the greed?

Hope he doesn't get disappeared.

 

[why42]

I don't get why he stays in Britain. This guy has gone to prison so many times.

 

[Minerva Mink]

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

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

I think Washington should just finish the American Revolution and brings some freedom to cuck island, they may have Oil in the North Sea as well. At this point you guys would be treated as liberators.

The downside is that you will need to add a few more stars to the flag, also annex Canada while you are at it.
