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.

It's going to be impossible to discuss this in this thread thanks to the feature, but the BBC are reporting "Mr Edwards is accused of having six category A images, 12 category B pictures and 19 category C photographs on WhatsApp."

There's multiple posts about it on prior pages. More helpfully the old thread got bumped.

Yeah, thought his narrative would be dodgy at best.

It always is.

I know very little about Tommy Robinson and he could be an opportunist grifter for all I know

He's a Zionist shill... however, with that in mind he has accomplished some things as a result of his "activism" such as shining a light on the grooming gangs in the UK which the police and social services were trying to sweep under the carpet. He wasn't the first person to shine a light on the grooming problem, but he was arguably the one who brought it into the public eye. He is very questionable though, some theorise he was propped up to take the more moderate leaning peoples support away from the BNP.

“Originally from Cardiff” say the police, in two separate press conferences.

But Ali is not originally from Cardiff. He’s originally from Syria, he came to the UK illegally by boat last year, and was on a terrorist watch list.

We can all guess that is the case but do you have a source for that other than Twitter bot farm posts?

I was just editing my post to point out that that is likely to be BS, but is being repeated in a lot of places.

BBC article now also says born in Cardiff, so it’s sounding less likely.

Cardiff has been pretty colonised. They’re not Welsh like Shirley Bassey anymore the brown ones.

I'm not sure how civil war would work in the UK. Its citizens are unarmed. Even knives are regulated. Riots and street brawls would play directly into the hands of the State, which would portray the protesters as far-Right extremist thugs (see J6), giving the State the excuse to crack down even harder. Non-violent resistance, which would mean essentially surrendering yourself to the State for incarceration, would only save the State the trouble of hunting you down. Workers at all class levels could try a nationwide strike, but any sustained period of depressed economic activity would hurt the people more than the government.

There is a way, of course, but I won't go into that here.

Knives are not "regulated" for fuck sake. You don't need a licence to buy a knife.
You go to a fish tackle shop and you can buy some nice big dangerous knives.
(Same place sell canister powered metal pellet guns and all that if you're over 16. Won't kill you but decent weapon and you don't want to get shot with one.
The only thing you need a licence for is a gun. To get around this people use bolt guns for things like putting down larger animals.
I dunno how far bolt guns shoot, but that's what they use to put down greyhounds and stuff. Idk if that only works at extreme close range or whatever though.)

What will happen is you will get arrested if you are waving a knife around on the street.

I'd say that's a fuckload better than antifa retards walking around with rifles in little bully gangs.
I'm trying to remember where it was in America, I remeber seeing some footage of them going and pointing guns at some pole protesting a drag queen kids event, one of them maced the small group while the others stood all tacticooled up with their guns so there was no chance of any defence.
It was grim to see.
I don't know why every person in America doesn't carry a gun everywhere tbh.
Why woudlnt you if you possibly could?
It doesn't work unless everyone has one and if idiot cunts have got one I want one too.

The loicense jokes are well-deserved. You have to be 18 to buy fucking cutlery in this country. I'm almost 25 and the other day I had to show ID to buy a pizza cutter. When I was 16 I was refused a sale for a shaving razor and ended up having to get my dad to buy it for me... who was then also refused the sale because it would have been a "proxy purchase".

If you're under 18 (or over 18 but don't have a passport or driving license) you literally can't buy basic household supplies and grooming products in this country, things have absolutely gotten out of hand.

Of course they are well-deserved. As are the school shooting jokes but make one of them in response to a license joke and the yanks throw a hissy fit.

 

[Huge Fuckin Nerd]

Should’ve applied for a loicence for that screening.

I’m 20 pages late, I’m sure someone else already made the joke. I’ll accept your s

Married prison guard, 30, admits having sex with inmate in X-rated video recorded inside jail cell at HMP Wandsworth​

A married prison guard has admitted having sex with an inmate in an X-rated video recorded inside a cell at HMP Wandsworth.
Linda De Sousa Abreu, 30, of Fulham, West London, was on duty when she entered the prisoner's cell on June 27 and had sex with him.
The encounter was filmed by another inmate and lasted for almost five minutes.
The mother was arrested at Heathrow Airport and was due to catch a flight to Madrid having notified the prison of her travel plans.
De Sousa Abreu, who has appeared on TV swinging programs and has an OnlyFans account, pleaded guilty to one count of misconduct in a public office at a hearing at Isleworth Crown Court today.
The prosecution's case was that De Sousa Abreu had wilfully committed misconduct in a public office by abusing her position as a prison officer to have sex with an inmate.

After the video went viral on social media, De Sousa Abreu was identified by HMP Wandsworth staff and was arrested by the Metropolitan Police at Heathrow Airport



The friend who is smoking while recording says: 'Guys we've made history, this is what I'm telling you.'
The prison officer's radio, left on a side table, crackles constantly with her colleagues heard on the other channels above the din of the other prisoners on the landing unaware of what is going on in the cell.
At one point, someone appears to try to come into the cell, at which the man filming, can be heard saying to the person on the other side of the door 'give me a minute, one second.'
The prisoner filming tells his friend to carry on and then pans the camera round momentarily and, grinning, says: 'This is how we roll in Wandsworth.'

De Sousa Abreu is subject to 'stringent' bail conditions. Her Portuguese passport must remain in police possession and she is not apply for any international travel documents.
She is barred from entering any UK travel ports and made her subject to an electronically monitored curfew between 7pm and 9am each day.
Her lawyer Gayathri Yogarajah earlier described her a 'young mother' and 'a person of good character'.

You are either the dumbest motherfucker on this website or the greatest troll on the internet.
How are boat people coming in illegally, vetted?

Think, you fucking retard.

Vetted? They’re not vetted at all. They come in on boats, destroy their documents and we have absolutely no idea who they are. They say they’re under 18 when they’re in their thirties. Vetted? You are kidding.

First time seeing MadStan AKA Menotaur before? He's always been a disingenuous bellend.

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.

Easiest way to kill your enemies is get them before they can fight back. I don't understand how western society has forgotten that the muzzies want to impose sharia law in western societies to destroy them.

There is a way, of course, but I won't go into that here.

Knives are not regulated per say. The "Oi mate, got a loisence for that butter knife" is a meme. Originating from the activities of stop and search regional police forces and their cringe Twitter posts—confiscating trade persons tools to "keep the streets safe", many such examples.



There are restrictions on the type of knife you can carry on your person. Although there is a weird exception for blades that are over 100 years old. So a WW1 bayonet would be fair game, I guess. But if you are over 18 you can walk into any army surplus, hardware, or department store, and come out with a blade of some kind with zero paperwork. It's an everyday tool for many people. More recently, crossbows have made a resurgence in violent crimes, but it looks like regulation might come swooping in for those in the near future; especially after a high profile case where a BBC sport reporter's wife and two daughters were killed by one recently.

Nahh, he's a fucking retard in every thread with his word salad, holier-than-thou fart-sniffing. My autism got the best of me and forced me to call him a retard.

Some of these skinheads would start getting friendly with the black lads because they were fighting next to each other and it did more to unite races than anything a lefty could do.

This small idea right here is why the UK is so against him. Unity against the people destroying the UK puts their asses in the firing line.

“Originally from Cardiff” say the police, in two separate press conferences.

But according to rumours on Twitter, Ali is not originally from Cardiff. He’s originally from Syria, he came to the UK illegally by boat last year, and was on a terrorist watch list.

Let’s wait and see what the truth is.

Extremely grim event the more you read about it.

It's even more fun when you realize that the punishment will be deporting him which means he can come right back to do it again.

Easiest way to kill your enemies is get them before they can fight back. I don't understand how western society has forgotten that the muzzies want to impose sharia law in western societies to destroy them.

The elites are sick and tired of the West getting so uppity about wanting human rights.

 

[Adrenochrome Dreams]

I’ve wandered around Rome and never felt unsafe. I’ve been in the weird Casa Pound areas and wandered back to the hotel blind drunk from Termini were the boat monkeys dwell and have never felt unsafe.

London I won’t even get my phone out of my pocket on a high street.

Fuck London.

London can change from literally one postcode to the next. There are some areas I've been in that feel perfectly safe, normal, and even upmarket, but two streets away it's a ghetto.

It's our governments that spread Sharia. In order to destabilize countries with sizable Muslim populations so they can be couped. The side effect is that they eventually come here as the governments also need people for the UN migratory agenda. Not that the Governments care about you though.

Wahhabism​

The key programmes of these revival movements included:

• Islam is the only solution;
• A direct return to the Quran and the Sunnah;
• Implementation of Sharia (Islamic law) is the objective;
• Those who opposed the reform efforts were enemies of God.
• Members of the movement, like the early Muslims during the era of the Salaf, were trained in piety and military skills. These movements waged their reformist efforts through preaching and Jihad.[72]

Remember how the US said the Chinese were abusing the rights of their Muslims? It turns out the US was trying to get them to convert to Wahhabism. To cause internal instability in China.

This is fucking wild. How is a female guard allowed in a men's prison ?
I'd ask how she could go about handling violent inmates and tough situations but she seems to be doing just fine. •_•

I'd feel sorry for the husband if it were not for the OF he probably knew about. The kid on the other hand.. Big L for him/her, playground going to be rough buddy.
