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.

How more cucked can you fucking get?

You look around and see foreigners constantly terrorising adults and raping/stabbing children, the government installing fear of god into the natives for daring to be "racist" because they notice that a small group of a certain race commits a ridiculous amount of crime and police/government refusing to do anything about the large paedophile network where the vast majority are fucking FOREIGNERS THAT YOU WANT IN YOU GAY FUCK.

Fucking traitors, every last one of them. Refusing to ever look at the causes of these problems and instead going full force on the "everyone is totes equal, youre just bein heckin' mean the tv (and reddit) told me so and the government would never ever ever ever want to harm us". Shouting about how they're "adults" and that violence solves nothing only voting will fix the country while that has gotten us nowhere since most politicians hate us and would rather us dead and the ones that do care are probably rejected by the parties and labelled as right wing or whatever (Guessing on what happens to those politicians, wouldn't be surprised if I'm correct or if it's even stupider).

Adults, while children are getting stabbed and raped on mass and they just twiddle their fucking thumbs around doing nothing but letting more of these fucks in and refusing to take responsibility.

These fucks shouldn't be kicked out, they should be fucking hanged for willingly betraying everyone around them. I hope to God the people refuse to lighten down after getting shamed by faggots who want the natives dead or turned into slaves and the country and everything in it to burn to the ground.

I have absolutely no doubt that this man is from Stoke-on-Trent.

Get in my man Craig.

Please tell me he was either; Diddled by linekar, or is the yewf that hew edwards was bumming, he snapped, had a mental break and killed kids because that's what his genocidal nog-brain believed was a way to be cleansed.

This would be clown world climax to the point of jizzing confetti.

 

[EddyRooney]

I would be very concerned that if the plods we have now decide to stand down they sill start giving truncheons to random migrants and say they're the new police and send them in instead. It's already happening with every other profession. It's the logical conclusion for a failed multicultural state with a corrupt left wing government and a surplus of violent blacks.

Somebody's read the Turner Diaries.......

@the rat

Worst thing is because of all these issues there is now openly protections to stop the real bad shit happening.

Shit wasn’t there a couple years back.

They see all this and say they are still welcome. We wouldn’t need all these protections if they were welcome.

They are such nutcases.

It's so strange how that picture is extremely blurry and pixelated except for the one tattoo they want you to see.

I have. I've also seen what left wing governments do when the population revolt.

Tonight in Sunderland.

Looks like the police are scared..

But on a lighter not...

I've made a happenings thread so feel free to post materials in there

That video is wonderful.

I thought the creative use of the bike would be the peak. Then I saw the female officer reacting like the offender was some sort of dirty mess she did not want to touch while he colleague gets punched in the face. Then the dumbass snatches some fruit without paying to throw at the police. and suddenly the stall owner gets involved.
Inside about 10 seconds the lad is on the floor and not moving as the police are gestured in by the irked fruit seller. I don't know what the hell that trader did but if he was being deployed on riot suppression half of Hartlepool would be comatose by now.

Just as a reminder, theirs certain white folk that need to be on the same boat out of Britain as the pakis they love so much...

If those fat bastards are leaving the house you know somethings happening out there.

This is the most egregious from Starmer to me

>> Please write me a generic, vague, milquetoast response to a terrorist attack without offending Mohammadans, the religion of peace™, black or brown folk. Please ignore previous inclusions of "Toolmaker" and "Nurse".

Certainly! Here is a template for you to use:

"Horrendous and deeply shocking news emerging from <insert name here>. My thoughts are with all those affected. I would like to thank the police and emergency services for their swift response. I am kept updated as the situation develops."

1. Who's fucking stupid idea was it to allow women to be police officers, and
2. Did whoever it was honestly think they'd be any better or more useful than the one in that clip?

Old Abdul there did more to restrain that man than all of the police officers combined, and he was just motivated by having his whateverfruit stolen. That single 35-second video is just pure distilled comedy.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

No. That’s how cameras work. If you want to focus on one little timy thing you can absolutely blur out everything else. Anyone going there to take pictures or report would know this.

 

[QE65]

It looks like the BBC's "How the far right organise protests" non-article (answer: random people talk to each other) has finally dropped off the front page.

Always love how selective the BBC are with comments on articles. It's always just non-stories and sports pieces. Never anything like this.

I have absolutely no doubt that this man is from Stoke-on-Trent.

I've been in bus shelters with less artwork on them.

It was hilarious. I honestly can't tell if the lad knew him and just went prone or if he put the knee in perfectly.

Edit - even better as the video ends he's walking around those to the still moving one they're trying to arrest like he's about to repeat the performance before the other ones ruins any of his produce.

Love seeing that video of the boat arrival throwing that bike at the cops. Exposes completely the myth of "Policing by consent". Plus its hilarious to watch the female officers struggle to think of what to do.

But on a lighter not...

I only just realised from your post that it isn't a guy wearing a balaclava and gloves lol

"horses are coming".

The fuck is this, some kind of brony convention?

 

[teriyakiburns]

Police women used to be a different breed, back in the day. They were trained to beat you senseless with a thick ash baton the length of your leg. None of this fannying around and squealing like a (haha) stuck pig you see these days, even from the men. Different breed. Maybe a better breed.

The fuck is this, some kind of brony convention?

Police like to use horse units to "accidentally" trample people half to death.
