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.

a Christian Church knowing the highest congregation of child molesters in any group globally is within the safety of the church

The highest congregation of child molesters in any group globally was, and is, amongst gay men. The straight priests by and large were banging the housekeeper, not little girls.

Besides, even disregarding that, you'd have more luck finding active child abusing pedophiles in the school's and sports clubs these days. They were always hotbeds anyway.

I'll try and find it, but Dallaire wrote an article in the aftermath about realising that the detection of the use of child/teen soldiers should serve as part of an early warning system on impending genocide.

Worth a read.

I'm more of a fan of death by prisoner. The UK Prison populace has no tolerance for child murderers.

He’s a child killer. He’s going to be kept in segregation and any lifer who gets close to him is going to try to kill him.

I wonder about this. You do hear about the occasional nonce getting a boiling sugar water face mask, but not nearly enough. I think they're more protected than not by the screws, or we'd hear more of it happening

It's just so fucking sad, makes me close to tears and I'm not exaggerating when I say that. I want to weep for my country and our children when I can see shit like this unfolding.

Perfer et obdura; dolor hic tibi proderit olim.

It’s an opportune moment to remind bong Kiwis not to trust people that they didn’t know before April 2020.

77th brigade must be pulling some massive shifts the past couple weeks

the Jew system will not treat them with velvet gloves.

Yeah and with TR involved, there'll be more than a couple of scapegoats sent off in to the desert.

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.

I wouldn't shed a tear if Muslims did a 1,000,000 man march through Birmingham and instantaneously deconstructed via way of bangvest. It would do the place a favour.

(This is a joke, satire, not a call to arms or a wish for violence. Birmingham is a shit hole though)

 

[FedPostalService]

The thing about Birmingham is there’s plenty of blacks and Hindus who can’t stand Mohammeds either. That one could get interesting

Birmingham is such a shithole that it just becoming a hole would vastly improve the place.

To be honest, some northern protests could get interesting, especially around East Lancashire and East Manchester. Those areas are very improverished and have previously been subject to race riots.

It’s so point out before, but the police will not be able to cope with so many in one region.

It this point it would be funny if they started a bunch of fake ones for a laugh to thin the coverage even further.

 

[3deadniggers]

I'm not advocating this but if there aren't multiple hotels and 'refugee camps' on fire by the end of the week it's not the kick off point for anything. Protests don't change course, they make a lot of noise and then burn out. Unless a hard message is sent then things will cool off in a few days. The whites rioting then the browns rioting and having small gang fights won't be any different from the 2016 Trump clashes. Idiots will get arrested and those on the wrong side will get long sustained prison sentences while the others will be let off. We saw how hopeful Americans were over the political spergs clashing and the streamers hyping it up for super chats but it never went any where. We'll end up with our own Charlottesville and everything will defuse into nothing like it did in the US. Unless there is real damage due to the actual structures the government use and their pets feel in danger they will hide away for a few months and be right back at it all over again.

The straight priests by and large were banging the housekeeper

Poor housekeeper, she must be really sore after all the straight priests were done with her.
There was a push for homosexuals to subvert the church. It held a lot of power and was a constant thorn in the side of the degenerate push. Having to subvert it was essential to getting us where we are now.

I've been seeing rumours of planned protests in Burnley and Oldham, two towns that were made notorious for their 2001 race riots. I'll add these to the list if I'm able to confirm them. Things could get bad there.

Totally fair. I get where you're coming from. And in hindsight having Drop Kiwifarms 2: Electric Bongaloo would absolutely suck.

For the first time in my life, white people act like everyone else.

So now, whenever someone makes an anti-white comment, whites group up against them and automatically stick up for eachother against none-whites.

The Pakis have noticed and look scared. They've picked up on the fact that whites talk past them. They do it all the time to whites, and now it's happening to them.

Mi5 and 77th online, special demonstration squad on the streets and CHIS popping up and saying they’re your best friends. I’m going to be sensible for the next few months.

Null has too much stress in his life. He needs less of that.
As do you, got to bed.

I’m surprised there’s white people actually left in Burnley.

 

[Morethanabitfoolish]

As someone currently using a Kier Stamer profile I feel an obligation to look after the wellbeing of British citizens.

Unlike the festering toe rag himself.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

It isn’t just white people this has pissed off. And are rioting because of this. It’s what makes the medua framing so bad.

A lot of people are pissed off.

 

[3deadniggers]

If the country is about to go nuclear you should probably worry less about Null and worry more about essential survival. Good time to get a stock pile of food and have a plan for what you do if things get very bad.

 

[Wax Baron]

Yep, bullet to the back of the head and put the little rat out of his misery.

But instead he'll run up the legal aid on some long ass trial and then all the money to keep him in prison for decades.
All in it'll be millions spent on some savage who should never even been allowed to be born in this country.




We can only wish , bet he don't even get 12 months that's if he even gets custodial.

Uk justice in action, drugs = 7 years, noncing kids = 7 months!!

They named and shamed him, a desperate act in a rightfully angry and tense societial climate

He'll either get a whole life order or 'life' with potential for parol in 20 or 30 years
