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.

Remember, there are people in this very thread who acted like synthesising smokeless powder was too far.

There are people who think it's a bad idea to post vague threats talking about explosives on a public forum. Do it quietly or do it some where you won't get us all investigated.

The veil is gone. Overnight.

There are people who think it's a bad idea to post vague threats talking about explosives on a public forum. Do it quietly or do it some where you won't get us all investigated.

Investigated?

You're white. They're coming to fuck your mouth no matter what you do, or say. They're at war with you. You know, sooner or later, you have to face the facts and go over the top, hoping that you'll die quickly.

These are people who genuinely believe that you - specifically, you, Shiverpeaks, should face more scrutiny for owning a firearm than a boat full of foreign men. They're not good or wise people, and neither is anyone who told you that I, a man who has the appropriate skillset to build firearms is somehow less able to judge who can use them than a nigger in a hat.

A hat which says "Police"

That's literally it. They're worthless retards.

There's no investigation coming. They have a lot of threats and whinging, and if you're worried about that, you're a poof.

If I'm able to get more planned protests, I'll list them here. I have been able to confirm that these are happening. Most of these cities/towns are in some of the country's most improverished areas.

It's like the entire country just did this, and remembered "Oh yeah, we invented the tank, why am I getting lectured by this baboon"

 

[Ishtar]

They need organization and leadership, else the state will disperse any protests and the energy will fizzle out.

They also need arms, if not firearms, then at least baseball bats, knives, bludgeons, etc... for inevitable confrontations with the police and anti fascist(and migrant) counter demonstrators.

Also face masks, to make arrest work harder for the police.

Maybe it's a good idea to include protests in Ireland too? Because from what I can tell the Irish are pissed.

I'll look for any Irish protests. Thus far, I've only been made aware of ones based in Great Britain.

 

[Ishtar]

There were protests against bussing and integration in the US sixty years ago, they didn't achieve anything without leadership.

I am glad to see White britons not passively tolerating this, but they should be prepared, the Jew system will not treat them with velvet gloves.

Don't use youtube, google will be monitoring you.

I have been deliberately, and openly, searching for the most directly incriminating things possible just to taunt them. Many others have done the same.

It's like the song has been sung, and all the alarms in Westminster went off at once. I tracked down the Rwandan guy - only to find dozens of other people did the same fucking thing before me.

Seriously:

Do you think there are 22,000 task forces full of apex Call of Duty style special operators coming?

Maybe it's a good idea to include protests in Ireland too? Because from what I can tell the Irish are pissed.

There has been a complete shift over the past week, and I feel vindicated entirely. I got banned for derailment of threads again, but specifically, over the Americans and their lack of understanding of what "Bravery" means.

Then we see it all over the UK instantly. Suddenly, every Bong in the country went from "the police might come" to "my eyes have seen the glory of the trampling at the zoo" and started to reinforce onto one another.

So now, hundreds of thousands of Brits are willing to taunt the government and dare them to act. It's not like the USA, where everyone thinks as an individual and prays that the feds won't come for them next. Now, my first instinct is "Well my heart, and apparently kidneys, are fucked, so it's better if I go to prison than someone else who might be able to fight better" - and the same instinct has hit the entire fucking country.

 

[General Emílio Médici]

The fire rises brother.

The real fuck up by Starmer IMO is how he and Number 10 responded to the protest in London. There was a window of opportunity there to allow for de-escalation and some anger to be expunged via lawful protest. Do some mea culpa and provide some sort of platitude. Instead the cops showed up and acted like thugs, going harder on the people than the cops in Southport (since in Southport at least the police can claim to be fighting back, while in London they struck first and struck hard).

To quote from V from Vendetta (at least the movie, not sure if the quote is there in the Novel) “With so much chaos, someone will do something stupid. And when they do, things will turn nasty”

 

[Anti Lolicon Bomb]

So let me get this straight, After years of kneeling for BLM and then giving an escort to Pro Palestine shit they are now going to respond to the unrest relating to 3 British girls being stabbed to death by creating a new task force for kicking the white British harder?
At a time when they cant recruit enough Police.
At a time when the British Army has declared itself unfit for action because white men stopped joining up.
Whew lads, Im feeling more and more positive by the day! This might actually be the moment these fucking retards slit their own throats in political minecraft lmao.

 

[Whoopsie Daisy]

Most of these cities/towns are in some of the country's most improverished areas.

With the exception of High Wycombe and Portsmouth, they're all in the norf.

High Wycombe, home to RAF Halton, a basic training camp and Portsmouth - Navy bumder central camp. I wonder if they're trying to stir up the forces?
Obviously Catterick - The largest council estate in the country, I mean, army camp, isn't on there but the army are pongo zoo animals anyway, they're already up for a scrap.

 

[Doctor Love]

Im feeling more and more positive by the day!

Yep, they botched it.

They threatened us, and the UK collectively said "fucking try me, cunt" - and now we're in the Troubles (mainland Britain)

 

[Coelacanth]

It's been vindicating for me too... but in a different way. I tried so damn hard to encourage those in my area to finally wake up. They'd talk about it in private but would shy away from expressing it openly and I was starting to get dragged down myself. Maybe it was better that I just shut up, you know?

I'm gutted that it took the lives of three little girls to get to this point, but watching the people one by one start to talk has re-kindled some hope.

I won't be online much longer because I need to crash into slumber but I will be keeping tabs on things. Maybe when we have enough info it would be a good idea to have some sort of megathread for Kiwis wanting to protest and/or resources people can use to help themselves if things get really nasty. We have the prepping subforum now after all!

EDIT: Stay away from Youtube for sure if possible! The censorship has begun.

Starmer had one chance to prevent all of this, and he absolutely fucked it up

 

[Nigger Cobson]

As an Amerimutt, I’m pleasantly surprised that the British of all people seem to be the first people to “rise up” against globohomo, at least through means of major coordinated protests and riots, if not outright boogaloo. I expected that we would be the first country where the Right decides to erupt the country in flames since we are the belly of the Jewish beast, so to speak. If not us, then I expected the Irish to be the first as the Irish Right recently decided to start doing riots, albeit sporadically. Britain was the last country where I expected major resistance to the kikes, and today (if it doesn’t turn out to be a nothingburger that is) disproved that notion.

I'm not sure if the protests I've listed are all centrally coordinated. From what I've been able to gather, they're all being organised by local communities, with many being advertised on Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat.

Plus Bristol and Birmingham.

Bristol will probably be a little lack luster as it's rammed full of fucking lefties and the usual assortment of niggers and pakis etc. Fingers crossed it gets plenty of out of towners to bolster its numbers.

Birmingham is a whole different story, theirs parts of brum that are exclusive paki ghettos so it causes a lot of resentment from the white communities spread around.
Going back about 10 years when edl had a rallie there, their was hundreds of us, almost as many as London rallies id seen.

Good luck to the filth stopping this many rallies, fingers crossed plenty more as it finally looks like enough people have had enough, glad to of been wrong on that one.

Not yet. And I hope and pray we don't get there and cooler heads recognise how bad this shit can get and start course correcting before it gets that bad.

Maybe when we have enough info it would be a good idea to have some sort of megathread for Kiwis wanting to protest and/or resources people can use to help themselves if things get really nasty. We have the prepping subforum now after all!

I know you're coming at this from a well intentioned perspective but Null does not need more shit. This is a gossip forum, not the last bastion of freedom, and what we need are more Kiwi Farms not to collect things in one place. Co-ordinating protest support on here will make things even easier when Labour ban the site in the UK, I'd rather they be pushed to hit a less easy target like Mumsnet where a lot of wrong think also occur but it's less easy to frame it as a dangerous far-right site.

We need more Nulls and more Kiwi Farms sites, not to take advantage of the place many people already are working hard to take down. Helpful stuff in the prepping thread is good, guidelines on anti-government protests in your area is pushing it.

 

[Doctor Love]

Nah there's so many on X that the flares have gone up and we'll be alright.

The staff here are a bit retarded, so you won't get far with anything KF related. It's a gossip forum, nothing more. You will want something closer to a paramilitary forum. I only came back to see if Fedboy will yield and start brewing up potassium nitrate.

None of the people here have any real experience. Most are just political edgelords - there's three or four posters on the Prepping subforum with unique, very useful takes. Like the guy who mentioned which parts of a vehicle has high-grade steel alloys. The rest is just unhelpful.

There is going to be new forums set up, and I doubt Null is going to do that. He doesn't have that dog in him,

Even Farage has avoided condemning the riots.

if not outright boogaloo

I told you all this, many times.

America is free because you're not likely to go charging into New York City to liberate some "Blue Democrats" from rule. Meanwhile, there's some guys up in Carlisle hoping that they'll get to march into Tower Hamlets with a flamethrower.

Go back and read literally every British poster you know, whenever it comes to political violence. The British response is "Well, I'd love to brutally murder them but we can't, because they took all the guns." while the American response is "Hah, cuck! What? Do something? What are you - a Fed?"

"Freedom" is inversely related with "Risk" - Americans aren't imprisoned because you're not a danger to anyone.

Good luck to the filth stopping this many rallies, fingers crossed plenty more as it finally looks like enough people have had enough, glad to of been wrong on that one.

I really want to see one in Stoke. Stoke is the only city I know where they showed up for a race riot in another city.
