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.

You have to be really dense to look at Britain and conclude that Jews are the worst minority out there. Antisemites are such mongs.


Even Nick Griffin wasn't particularly antisemitic when he was initially in the limelight. He is now, but he's pretty much the only antisemitic Briton who's not either a) Muslim or b) posh.

You're jewish.

The only reason why "anti-semitism" isn't more common among native Brits is because jews heavily suppress and downplay the truth about their level of power and influence.

 

[draggs]

Disagree, that's not how it works. There wouldn't be another election unless Starmer lost the confidence of Parliament - plus Labour are a lot more reluctant to replace their leaders than the Tories are (see Gordon Brown). They'll limp along for five years getting increasingly unpopular.

There will be another general election once Labour loses enough by elections that they can't resist the pressure. Give it 18 months for an announcement for an election 6 to 12 months after that, depending on how many by elections they lose and how badly they lose them. The economy in most countries is about to get even rougher over the next year at least

the person who hid the rape statistics of migrants in sweden is jewish. alot of the figures advocating for and implementing the importation of arabs is jews. they did it in spain when they opened the gates for invaders. theyre utter bastards. they just do it more sneakily subverting out institutions and raping their own daughters for the most part. idk how you can see jews literally bragging that they control the us government and elections and passing laws specifically to benefit them and think "oh must be a crazy conspiracy that the jewish wealthy in the west are using their positions to benefit their race over us"

Do you think the point of the government provoking nation-wide riots is so they can declare martial law and stay in power indefinitely? Can't have Whitey getting uppity after all.

The British state is not likely to fully collapse in the next 72 hours, so if you're feeling invested in things, take care of yourself and don't metpost your life away based on the assumption that The Revolution will be swift and total.

No one is expecting a full collapse in the next 72 hours. We're hoping screws can be turned enough to gain some momentum. We've been losing ground for so long now any pressure on the government to stop the invasion is good pressure. No one is screaming race war now (although we want to). We're hoping it's the start of enough people waking up that the white majority will scare the elites and make them less hostile.

You have to be really dense to look at Britain and conclude that Jews are the worst minority out there. Antisemites are such mongs.

The Jewish lobby is almost as strong here as it is in the US. You're very naive if you think antisemites are simply pakis hating on their fellow sand niggers. Wikipedia has multiple pages on British "Friends of Israel" lobbies that have repeatedly met with and funded high ranking politicians and prime ministers. Just because you don't pay attention doesn't mean the rats aren't working away in the shadows. There are hundreds of Jewish interest groups working in bong politics, even groups like UKIP and Reform has personal friends of Israel sects and get pressured by them. Wouldn't want UKIP To be called antisemitic would you goyim?

Friends of Israel (party political)​

Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) is affiliated with the Conservative Party and states that it is "one of the fastest growing political lobby groups." It lists its objectives as supporting Israel, promoting conservatism, fighting terrorism, combating antisemitism and peaceful co-existence in the Middle East.[38] Iain Dale and Brian Brivati in The Daily Telegraph have described it as "a highly effective lobby group," writing that its Director, Stuart Polak, has "done more than most to promote Israel's case to the right of British politics."[39]

Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), founded in 1957, is a group within the Labour Party which in 2003 described itself as a "lobby group working within the Labour Party to promote the State of Israel".[40] It describes itself as seeking "to promote a strong bilateral relationship between Britain and Israel."[41] It organizes visits of British politicians to Israel to meet with Israeli politicians and advocates on Israel's behalf among Labour Party members.[1] Labour Party Prime Ministers Tony Blair (1997–2007) and Gordon Brown (2007-2010) have been members of Labour Friends of Israel,[26][42] and the subsequent leader of the Labour Party (Ed Miliband) described himself as a "friend of Israel".[43]

Liberal Democrat Friends of Israel (LDFI) first objective is "to maximise support for the State of Israel within the Liberal Democrats and Parliament."[44][non-primary source needed]

Senior police officer sacked after 'punching two women off-duty'

Edit so not double posting:

I'd agree but only to the point about them not being the worst.
I've never knowingly met a jew and that probably goes for a lot of the population so their not really on our minds.
Personally I'd want rid of the Muslims followed by the niggers and eastern Europeans closely behind. The problem is the kikes control the media and as much as they hate the Muslims they know if they allow the British people to see the truth they'd be next on the chopping list.

 

[MeltyTW]

I can only conclude that the people denying the obvious like this are in fact jews.

it might be because the rape nigger's goals are more in your face. "savage rapist wants to rape and beats someone up or kills them in order to rape". boom plain simple easy to understand easy to make complete sense of everything. and thats true. the jews on the other hand are more fractured and have more complex reasons. some people think all jews are united and are just lying but i think it makes more sense if you just consider conservative jews want rape niggers out of their lands and into other peoples homes far away, and liberal jews want to be able to walk freely in a multicultural landscape of free travel economic zones formerly known as nations to have access to white people and probably want to make the west be the ones to try and civilize them either by importing them and caring for them for generations or getting fed up and again killing them.

then it all makes sense. the conservative jews want us also to be angry enough at muslims to help them genocide them to their benefit and a few rape mongrels born in the west help destabilize white identity with the white man having the difficult and pr unfriendly task of rallying against them while they keep their hands clean, and liberal jews are shown to turn against muslims the moment white people like the tiktok generation make it popular and safe enough for muslims to target them specifically.

at least thats my working theory on their motives what we know for sure is that they definitely advocate for migration en masse and even ones that do have been shown to care way more about muslim violence when it turned to targeting them specifically because of palestine and tiktok zoomers. so we know they dont have our best interests at heart and enjoy making us take on migrants for sure for whatever actual reason it turns out to be.

Senior police officer sacked after 'punching two women off-duty'

Duplicating article text because some posters like to read and mock here. Also because it's important to note he assaulted two women in "self defence" and the CPS refused to pursue the case.

A police inspector for Avon and Somerset Police who formerly chaired the National Black Police Association has been dismissed without notice after he assaulted two women while off-duty during a conversation about Meghan Markle.

Bristol-based Tola Munro 'completely lost control' when he dragged a woman to the ground before punching her in the face and then hitting a second female, a misconduct panel was told.

The incident began when the father-of-four was off-duty and was the result of a discussion about the Duke of Sussex and race.

Munro denied the allegations against him and claimed he was acting in self-defence.

Legally Qualified Chair Jane Jones, who is independent of policing, ruled Inspector Tola Munro's actions amounted to gross misconduct and labelled it a 'terrible irony' and said he had previously helped tackle violence against women and girls.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...mbia-visit-dangerous.html?ico=related-replace
As well as being dismissed, Munro will be added to the barred list to preventing him serving again.

​

The panel heard that as the conversation became 'heated and personal' Munro should have 'risen above provocation' and that he caused 'distress' to both women, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

Ms Jones said the violence was 'deliberate' and had caused 'significant reputational harm to the force.'

Gwent Police carried out a criminal investigation into the incident, which happened in May 2023, culminating in the case being referred to the Crown Prosecution Service, which deemed there was insufficient evidence for there to be a realistic prospect of a successful prosecution.

Munro, who was serving as a neighbourhood officer in south Bristol at the time, was suspended while the criminal and misconduct investigations were carried out.

The panel ruled Inspector Munro had breached two standards of professional behaviour, specifically in relation to discreditable conduct, as well as authority, respect and courtesy.

Ms Jones said Munro's violence was 'deliberate' and had caused 'significant reputational harm to the force'
Superintendent Mark Edgington: 'The burden of proof required for a criminal prosecution and misconduct to be proven is different.

'The panel reached its decision that Inspector Munro assaulted the two women on the balance of probabilities having heard the evidence presented to them. A criminal conviction requires allegations to be proved beyond all reasonable doubt, and the difference between those levels is significant.

'Ultimately, there is no place in policing for an officer who is found to have assaulted any member of the public. Whether on or off-duty, officers and staff must adhere to the standards expected of anyone serving in policing and Inspector Munro failed to do this.

'As an organisation we have carried out a huge amount of work in recent years around the topic of violence against women and girls. Inspector Munro's actions have undermined those efforts and will likely damage public confidence in policing.

'We hope the public can see from the actions we have taken that these allegations have been taken seriously from the moment we learned of them.

'The public's trust in policing is dependent on rooting out any officer, no matter their rank or experience, who should not be serving the public. We hope the robust action taken in this case highlights that commitment.'

You're jewish.

As Tolkien said, "if I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people."

The only reason why "anti-semitism" isn't more common among native Brits is because jews heavily suppress and downplay the truth about their level of power and influence.

Oh no, the people who are disproportionately intelligent are also disproportionately influential!

the person who hid the rape statistics of migrants in sweden is jewish. alot of the figures advocating for and implementing the importation of arabs is jews. they did it in spain when they opened the gates for invaders. theyre utter bastards. they just do it more sneakily subverting out institutions and raping their own daughters for the most part. idk how you can see jews literally bragging that they control the us government and elections and passing laws specifically to benefit them and think "oh must be a crazy conspiracy that the jewish wealthy in the west are using their positions to benefit their race over us"

That's Abroad, I was talking about Britain. Maybe add "c) Internet autist" to the list

The Jewish lobby is almost as strong here as it is in the US. You're very naive if you think antisemites are simply pakis hating on their fellow sand niggers. Wikipedia has multiple pages on British "Friends of Israel" lobbies that have repeatedly met with and funded high ranking politicians and prime ministers.

So? I fail to see how supporting the one non-shithole country in the Middle East is a bad thing

I am pretty sure the Daily Mail is being satirical here

New Labour was a united party. Starmer's Labour is already fracturing and had a schism right after the election. Starmer has Rayner at his back with a knife and a large contingent of back benchers who oppose the Blairite progressive wing, but also oppose the Corbynist momentum wing. It wouldn't take much for one of the hostile factions to force a no-confidence vote.

@draggs, I just cant see how on Earth they last 5 years at this point, I simply can not see it. How do you declare war on your native populace a month in lmao

It’s like Nelson Mandela ran an apartheid government

 

[Baldos Revenge]

imagine siding with kikes thinking they actually care about you lmfao hope he never gets out to be honest.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

and the government will bring in as many hyper-draconian surveillance measures as they possibly can.

They already have those. They are just inept at using them.

 

[Overdrive]

The urge to metpost just about any time I post online or attend things irl is so high right now. Unfortunately I need to be "clean" in the govt eyes for at least a few more months or a lot of well laid plans of mine go up in smoke. For any that are going all the way, good luck and stay safe.

"Not everyone attending these protests or posting about the Southport attacks holds fringe views, supports rioting or has links to far-right groups", concedes the article begrudgingly in its third paragraph.

You don't hate Journos enough, and that goes quadruple for BBC journalists.

I'd hazard a guess that the majority of people outraged by this to the point of rioting aren't "far-right" (whatever the fuck that means this week) at all, and are instead just normal concerned people who have a grasp on basic pattern recognition and remember (and want to return to) a time when they could walk down the streets without having to worry about feral animals carving up their children in broad daylight for no rational reason. If that's the bar for being far-right nowadays, then I wear the label proudly.

Normies don't have the first clue about the jewish mindset and how they regard the rest of us.

Goyim, aka cattle, should be the first hint....

Truth is, kikes are at war with the "Amalek", aka White Europeans, Palestinians and basically anyone who they don't like and if they could get away with it, they would launch Gaza genocide 2.0 in Europe and the US, while arguing that they aren't doing anything wrong.

Well it's fairly obvious but this is less so a far right issue and really a working class issue in their eyes. Far right is just a convenient label because "Le Nazi's".

In reality this is the working class who famously for years have had no say in how this country has been ran have finally had enough of all of the 3r world being put on their door and told to deal with it. Journalists are overwhelmingly upper middle class and this is just their way of trying to shame their opposition which really is them shaming a class of people they see is beneath them.

The UK and it's class system is no different to India.
