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.

Just to add some clarity for people there have been two recent stabbings in Southport, since the incident today is getting confused with another one by some sources

Saturday, 18 year old transgender woman stabbed, still alive. 38 year old man who did the stabbing in court today. Address of stabbing was Albert Road

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn09n9eq0zpo

I strongly suspect, given the age gap between the individuals involved, that this was what I'll euphemistically call a 'transactional interaction between adults' that went south, rather than a hate-filled transphobic assault by an eeevil TERF as part of the ongoing trans genocide.

There's been at least 10% of inflation since 2022 when they started striking.

So that leaves 12%, over a 2 year period, 6% per year.

Doesn't sound like a lot to me. In fact I would be urging everyone to demand similar pay rises in the private sector. Public sector generally don't deserve anything because they're useless.

I agree on an individual level that people should be demanding more, with the public sector absolutely excluded.

But you understand that when the government unions demand contracts that have their raises exceed inflation, and 1/3 the country or whatever works for the government, that all that does is speed up the inflation ratchet, with them at the front of the line...

It's like those tarded plans in places like NY, CA, and Canada to solve high housing prices by giving people down payment money. Same number of houses, further increased demand, prices can only possibly go _____. (With a side "benefit" of putting dinduishas or trannnies or whatever first in line, so normie working families are further priced out).

Pretty much what I am suspecting. The lack of screaming MPs makes me almost certain about that though it being the weekend and being buried behind murdered children might help there.
I'm waiting for Pink News putting out an article whining about transphobic hate crimes being ignored in favour of those selfish stabbed children.

Apparently the Southport thing happened at a Yoga class for kids aged 2 to 6. What kind of sick, demented, micropenissed piece of goatshit would go and stab a bunch of toddlers?

Call me naive, but every time I read about stuff like this (some asshole trying to murder little children) I fail to understand why someone would do this. It makes no sense.

There's a lot of darkness in the world, people are capable of unbelievable evil. Of course we are capable of good too. I don't understand the mindset of someone who harms children either but to be honest I'm glad I don't.

Because the people being imported here absolutely fucking hate us and enjoy doing this shit, and they will be facilitated until they have the numbers to do this to us all. We have been betrayed at every turn.

He's worked with the idf.
I see him as a pied piper character.

To date had very likely done more than sitting in front of a pc pontificating and sperging about spurious accusations.

High Court rule the ban on puberty blockers bought in by Tory government was lawful.

One ruling for the Q+ communities to cry about.

Some butthurt over at /r/transgenderUK:

"Sucks real bad. Thinking about what would happen to the architects of these policies in a truly just society."

That's your daily reminder that these people would not hesitate to line you up against the wall or throw you in the gulag if they held the reins

A Met Police spokesperson said in a statement: ‘Huw Edwards, 62, of Southwark, London has been charged with three counts of making indecent images of children following a Met Police investigation.

‘The offences, which are alleged to have taken place between December 2020 and April 2022, relate to images shared on a WhatsApp chat.

‘Edwards was arrested on November 8, 2023. He was charged on Wednesday, June 26 following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service.’

We Yanks don't quite have that sickness as bad. What we see is that the lower-class poorly schooled builders are seemingly the only people in Blighty who have backbones to stand up to shit-skinned mongrels.

You’re not quite right, but history and British accents make it more obvious in the UK. I grew up in Massachusetts and I didn’t have a horrible Masshole accent because my parents are from Europe and I went to private school, so I was properly considered a stuck up prick. I’d say Tanks are more egalitarian regarding their predjudices.

Bunch of children stabbed? Great time to drop shit like this into the news where it can be buried.

Someone at the BBC is a nonce? Stop the presses!

This is the one that already made it to the news once and they covered up for him, big public nonsense claiming it was all fabricated. A lot of people did victory laps over it.

I thought it was odd we still hadn't heard from him after he was 'cleared' from those previous allegations months ago; I guess this is why. Innocent until proven guilty etc. but I'm not surprised he got done for being a nonce, the previous story about him was very suspicious and I felt a lot wasn't being told to the public. Where there's smoke there's fire.

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.

He should've fled that shithole after he screened the movie. I remember how miserable he was last time when he was imprisoned. He even talked about how horrible the Muslims were to him in prison. He's either extremely stupid or really believes in his message i.e. not a grifter.
