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.

Time is on Labours side. The footie kicks off in a fortnight, so as long as they can make it to there without real issues, the circus kicks in and the yobs go home to watch norf FC

 

[squirrely dan]

Have fun storming the castle, boys and girls.

 

[CaptainAutism69]

I guess a few posters of Mohammed on bus shelters around the UK or something will cause the 'peaceful' people to start kicking off too, and we can see how the National police force is used huh?

except the league has been shit and dying for years now, arab owned FC winning everything every year with billion dollar niggies has diminished its ability to calm the masses. I dont think this is going anywhere.

 

[SirCliveSinclairdabbing]

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. Where's the immediate response to the illegals chopping each other up in the streets DAILY, white kids becoming embroiled in this fucking savage culture and behaving like apes or the muslim and gyppo rioting from last week? Why is it only when "the white right" get pissed off that they must immediately be put down with actions like that? It's hard not to "conspiracy" sperg. Scary fucking times.

It is being pushed for us to go full blm. You never go full blm.
Back around then the Travyn(skittles kid) the juswee (not even gonna try spell that one) then eventually "I can't breath" (1st words before the police even touched him). That final one set the black side off. Now our side is being inflamed the same way.
Adjust tactics, avoid organised venting/protests/kettling. Be innovative

That's actually a fantastic plan.

I did but they banned me from the thread!

I'd heavily encourage any Britbong here to go full digital hermit. If you're retarded enough to have a public social media account you cannot be sharing ANYTHING regarding a political opinion. Be very careful with any device you use to access the internet, invest in a quality VPN that is based outside of the EU and US (don't fucking cheap out), we're in for a VERY tense few years of Labour and I don't want to see any of you faggots with some bullshit 2 year suspended sentence with the caveat of having access to no devices with the internet as part of your license.

It's going to get REALLY messy with surveillance, and I would not be surprised if ISPs are required to block KF for "encouraging terrorism".

Stay safe, but always assume you are being watched.

Leeds

• Town Hall: Saturday 3rd August 1pm

Stand up to racism are apparently meeting outside the central library to protest it and next to them in front of the art gallery is where the Palestine protesters gather every week at that time before blocking a load of roads in the city centre, there's a lot of building work outside the town hall right now so I don't know how much space there actually is outside. Could be interesting, could be nothing, maybe the palestine guys will get distracted and not make Leeds city centre on a Saturday worse.

Artist's impression:


Stand up to racism seem to be organising quite a lot of counter protests

I'd add to the OG post if I had the ability to edit it. Thanks for letting me know!

And I don't mean anything cartoonish or silly, I'm thinking more like a split poster, with paintings of assending to heaven...Jesus on one side, Mohammad on the other...and some kind of slogan like 'God saves us all'. Be totally lowkey rather than 'in your face'...they have a hair trigger so it will set them off.

Finally a fucking use for those "both teams" scarfs that are a cancer on any team sport.

The best image to use would be the Charlie Hebdo ones. It sends a message.

That's retarded and gets turned around to 'these people are racist and trying to provoke' and therefore won't have the intended effect.
Who on the other hand could say that about this 16th century picture of Mo heading to heaven? It was produced by muslims in the first place...



Edit: fuck that...posters too big and expensive.

Print out fucking stickers of various god/prophets...Jesus, Buddah, Mohammad etc...and slap them everywhere you can

Like this but with a pokemon/mtg style border and title.
For added bonus add 'peace in our time' on the bottom.

People are racist for remembering the dead who died to the same problem? Those images have support, they have a meaning. They're useful propaganda and if it's provoking people by showing a comic then it only outs the wider problem.

This shit is weird. I tried to find the source but the word "bissy" hit me in the autistic nerves.

A proper Scouse accent is one of the hardest things to pull off for a reason, it has so many obscure rules and traits that anyone familiar would spot a fake instantly.

So if this is a fake - it's definitely someone who pulls off a perfect imitation of a scouse copper.

That's the prem, a load of posers and plastic football fans, loads of women.
Champo league where the majority of the host cities of protests are, is still a football first division. Some of the clubs bring in bigger crowds than the prem.

RE: moohammed


Joseph Smith, Buddha, JC, Mohamhead, Lui Tsu, Semen...hehehe i mean Sea man.

I hope this gets confirmed in some way so i can share it.
