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.

Phoebe Plummer arrested yet again, this time for spray painting inside Terminal 5 at Heathrow on behalf of her indoctrinators, Just Stop Oil.

She was convicted earlier this month of throwing soup over a painting. She was also jailed last year for protesting on the M25.

Seems that she has no respect for the law, and no doubt will bear the brunt of a judges displeasure of her non compliance sooner or later.

Poster Girl of JSO, or just heavily manipulated? They will find another dozy bint to carry the torch though.

I wouldn't, even with a bargepole.

I can fix her.

No modern economy can exist without slave labor / cheap labor

You support slave labour?

Take a look a the crime stats of your own country and do it by demographics and you'll find the crime is committed by the lower percentage of your own population. So while you glowingly say "X immigrant is 4 times more likely to...." I'll wager the same statement "Your lower 20% of your indigenous population is 4 times more likely to...".

This is why you're a fucking retard and nobody likes you. You think your takes and views are super intellectual, when in fact they are retarded as fuck. The stats and figures are hidden, changed and manipulated to hide how bad immigrant crime really is, something our government has been shy about hiding.

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

Many of us have worked with the IDF. It doesn't mean we still do or are in support of them. In fact, many of us who have worked with them hate the joos even more now.

You never truly know your enemy until you break bread with them.

I can understand why people don't like jews. But really I think they just hate wealthy, hypocritical cosmopolitan assholes. Don't get wrong, a lot of that group are jews; but I'd argue that a majority of jews aren't like that; and instead just vote lefty because they're middle class assholes. We have far, far, far more middle class retards that aren't jews that do the same.

I don’t believe in the death penalty but people who cheer on the importation of cheap labour to keep wages suppressed should be hanged.

I do believe in the death penalty but I agree with everything else you're saying.

 

[Str8Bustah]

The only answer people want on this thread is "shut the border, no immigration" and I wish you all the best with that, but it isn't going to work. There is a jolly good reason why no modern economy does this, and if you have to figure it out, then you aren't much of an economist.

Now, if you think all legal immigration is totally fine and this is a sure fire way of preventing (whatever problem it is you think having no one coming into the country to live will solve) then you will still end up with the same problem, merely on a lesser scale.

No modern economy can exist without slave labor / cheap labor. It is either the illegals that will do it, or the semi-legals who are brought in under servitude that will provide your economies with this cheap, slavish labor. And with them comes the problems of the poor - the same source as the majority of your native population.

Take a look a the crime stats of your own country and do it by demographics and you'll find the crime is committed by the lower percentage of your own population. So while you glowingly say "X immigrant is 4 times more likely to...." I'll wager the same statement "Your lower 20% of your indigenous population is 4 times more likely to...".

If you shut your borders, go ahead and slaughter the lower 20% of your population and you'll feel much safer.

It's funny that in your mind Kevin from the local pub and Ahmed the serial rapist from Syria are the same person.

Treating countries like the ship of Theseus where every plank of wood can be discarded without thought and the only thing being that matters is whether the few people desperately clinging onto the mast get to stay above the water line while everyone else is chucked at the holes in the hull is exactly what got us into this mess. Embracing it wholesale is only going to make the problem worse.

The current situation is not sustainable and will only end up with England turning into the next Latin American state. Rejoining the EU isn't going to fix much either, seeing as that doesn't have much time left on the clock either.

I don't want to make any personal accusations but your opinion is awfully in alignment with your average neolib... how much money do you make each year?

Correct answer! While you could reasonably argue the kikes like to keep their wealth within the own community it's no different to all the old money upper class, neither of them are gonna do fuck all to help your average Joe from the council estate.
But compare that to the thousands of sand niggers and their 50 descendants invading the county, wanting to implement sharia law, large scale grooming and rape of the native women, murdering our soldiers, setting off bombs on our underground and the countless other vile disgusting behaviour they have inflicted on this country.
I'd rather 100 kikes than 1 paki!

Kikes are just as bad. Just because muslims want to stab me in the face doesn't mean kikes are great, they're just sneakier about it and will quietly lockpick my door at night while I'm trying to sleep just so the above can come in and kill me in my sleep. You don't have to pick the lesser evil when both evils you can do without. Kikes are responsible for the horrors we are facing.

 

[Midwit]

Maybe if you cared more about the traitors in your own people we wouldn't have to call you a fucking retard for tunnel visioning on the Jews as the sole cause of all the world's problems when it was actually Continental philosophers.

 

[Snekposter]

Who's gonna tell him?

Yeah, three guys in a shed could never throw together anything military-grade.

Oh wait...

It would unironically be like the Rwandan genocide, but with a more medieval aesthetic. It would be machetes, clubs, knives, shovels.. pretty much any melee weapon mobs can get their hands on. You also have to keep in mind that in rural areas quite a lot of people own firearms. Mainly shotguns and rifles, but still... i live in the countryside and quite a few people around here have firearms liscenses, and pretty much every farmer is armed to the teeth.

I can understand why people don't like jews. But really I think they just hate wealthy, hypocritical cosmopolitan assholes. Don't get wrong, a lot of that group are jews; but I'd argue that a majority of jews aren't like that; and instead just vote lefty because they're middle class assholes. We have far, far, far more middle class retards that aren't jews that do the same.

We live in astoundingly diverse times these days where you no longer need to be Jewish to be a rootless cosmopolitan. Anyone who thinks Bill Gates wouldn't be on the first private jet out in case of breakdown is lying to themselves.

Gaston Glock built his first pistol prototype in his garage workshop so no, I don't doubt individual ingenuity. I do, however, doubt a resistance group could feasibly manufacture and distribute anything battle-worthy at scale, and scale is what you need to win. Such a hypothetical group could make bombs, I suppose, but there's a big downside to bomb-making. Google Weather Underground & Greenwich Village townhouse explosion.

This idea that "oh the british public have been silent" is fucking gaslighting. We've been screaming for decades that this was coming. I've told the story before of how a Sikh family (and the rest of the town) reported explosions and terrorist meetings at a mosque in [Redacted]. They were called racists, told to stop and ignored. Then a bus went boom in London on july 7th. This year, it was ignored and not even mentioned in the media. Those people were murdered by the media and British police and their names forgotten.
DM me if you want to know what's coming to your town, from a guy who lived through it.

Rotherham rape gangs were reported for nearly ten fucking years and all that happened were the parents and the kids, yes, the ones who were raped, were fined and arrested for racism.

The British people effected by the immigrants have been screaming for decades. We have been ignored, NOT silent.

Apologies for the rant but it really fucks me off on an autistic level to hear this bullshit of "oh why didn't someone say something?". Why didn't those pricks in London listen? Because it was happening in the grim, thicko norff, not on their doorstep. NIMBY cunts.

 

[Anti Lolicon Bomb]

Controversial take: I don't mind the jews.

Jews dont stab people on the streets, Jews work, The people who accused Jews of being a global pedo cabal are all rallying around some Romanian mystery meat sex trafficker and his merry band of brown eyed age of consent haters.
Goy posting is a fun meme but only the muttest of nigger mutts would actually believe that stupid shit.

It's on his twitter

I would upload it but its 1h45minutes

I never would have paid Tommy Robinson any attention.
He seems like a thug and I assumed he pretty much deserved the treatment and reputation he got/gets.

The moment I heard his documentary had been banned, I downloaded it and watched it - a while ago now. This of course, should be standard policy for anyone interested in the world. If they don't want you to watch it, watch it.

I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It's hard to argue with people speaking freely in their own words. We weren't told the truth about the incident in the documentary or about Tommy.

From that I decided to listen to his interview with Jordan Peterson. I wouldn't say I'm a supporter, but sure, he seems trustworthy and I don't think his links to Israel mean he's not working in the favour of every decent person in the UK.

The fact that no one even attempted to stop him from laying a wreath angers me. The people who let this happen do not get to lay a wreath for children they let die.

Everytime I start to pull away from fedposting shit like this happens and I'm right back in. I don't want to be like this, I don't want to be radicalised but it seems like the powers that be are laser focused on making regular people go crazy so they can then arrest us for being crazy.

FUCKING STOP.
