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.

Collett's a literal FAGGOT, more like. He's been fucked by Nick Griffin and Russell Brand (back in his junkie days), takes it hard up the arse, likes getting slapped around. He's a fucking larper, only reason he's in it is to get his dick hard. Nobody takes him seriously.

No idea about that, but he's not exactly an inspiring speaker. He sounds like a 1980s text-to-speech program.

 

[MarvinTheParanoidAndroid]

It's the troubles but with face recognition and a pissy PM and police. Isn't it just going to get worse? Kicking out the criminals from prison and replacing them with the people saying no? I'll be pleased to be wrong. Let's see.

What is Good Friday?

Every move the government is making is the exact wrong one. What happens when you put more and more pressure on fissile material? You get an explosion, and the UK has become a pressure cooker. The UK government is making all white people out to be criminals and white supremacists, specifically the Irish. The Muslims have come out with deadly weapons and stabbed some people to death, yet they're not being arrested, the Muzzies are being treated with kids gloves while the Irish are being called Nazis, they are openly releasing convicted pedophiles out of prison to swap them out with nationalists. They're being as iron fisted and unfair as possible, yet simultaneously their police are defanged and disarmed, they only have strength in numbers when they roll on single individuals but would get stampeded in a street war and would likely retreat before taking any serious risks.

You have a hornets nest of a population that you wont stop poking with a stick, flaccid law enforcement and a rabid enclave of humanoid pit bulls that maul said citizens with impunity and a news media that runs PR for them. At no point did the UK government admit to any wrongdoing on their part whatsoever, nor have they for the passed 30 years, nor will they ever, they'll keep pushing this until it explodes.

He can be, when he's prepared. The first time I came across him online was when he was defending the 18 year old drunk British girl in Ibiza who was persudaded by a bunch of club reps to give blowjobs to a line of guys in a club. The paper came out with the line that she was some drunken British tourist, Collett was the rare voice who pointed out that she was most likely travelling on her own for the first time in her life, drunk, seperated from her friends and essentially set up to be raped for the amusement of the club reps.

Also he genuinely had organisational ability, his idea to try and set up a group centred around events in remote areas, campsites etc, with occassional pop up street stalls that were set up and gone by the time Antifa got out of bed, worked pretty well. His problem was that he's an angry cunt, his hatred of Jews is literally pathological and he couldn't keep smart people around him.

Every right wing leader is going to have the same problem, frustrated loud mouths with little actual ability gravitate towards an organisation and drive away anyone that actually wants to do something.

Here's a bit of good news for a change..

Shamima Begum loses final UK court bid over citizenship

Shamima Begum will not be allowed to challenge the removal of her British citizenship at the Supreme Court, judges have ruled.
The 24-year-old hoped to overturn the government's decision to revoke her citizenship on national security grounds after she travelled to Syria as a teenager to join the Islamic State group.
Justices at the UK's highest court said Ms Begum could not appeal against an earlier Court of Appeal ruling as the grounds of her case "do not raise an arguable point of law".
It was Ms Begum's last chance to challenge the revocation of her citizenship within the UK legal system. But her lawyers told the BBC they would take the case to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).

First and last time the UK government doesn't bend then knee to a muslim! Obviously she's not happy joining one of the worst terrorist organisations in recent times (isis) and flying to Syria to marry her one true jihad has got in the way of her human rights but all I can say is... enjoy Syria bitch!

It's not the whole reason, but this is definitely part of the reason I've begun learning a second language でも、難しいと長い間ですね...

That said, if things ever got that bad. I'd probably be best learning a bit of Polish or, idk, Finnish?

I hate the “Collett is far right and he manages to skirt the line and not get arrested” people. Yes, that’s because he’s working for the police.

TBH is there a nationalist today in the anglosphere that doesn't at least have some sort of deal with the Feds (or whatever the equivalent is?).

It could be as simple as being an informant. "We let you do shunned political activism in return-we expect you to inform us about terrorist plots and not advocate for nor do anything truly destabilizing to the political order".

It would be very easy to make such threats-the incentive being you're not "really" selling out-so long as you're not explicitly fedposting you can work under the system.

Mate he's stayed out of jail because he understands the law and stays within it. He assumes the security servces have agents at every meeting, and have access to every email, and message he sends, and acts appropriately. He doesn't try and organise any violent activity, plans events to avoid confrontation, and doesn't insight people to commit violence.People end up in jail because they say dumb shit on fucking whatsapp or get drunk in a pub and start 'planning'.

I really can't believe I'm defending the guy, like I said he can be a nasty prick, and he's driven away large chunks of the member he spend years building simply because he doesn't listen to people, even when he doesn't have any ideas of his own to progress. His anti semitism is fucking crazy, and causes him to have a skewed understanding of how the country works. Most Jews in the UK are fucking terrified of what's going to happen when Labour eventually lose control of the Muslim community.

The gatherings on7 August 2024 were telling. The boneheads shouting “Oh, Tommy, Tommy! Tommy, Tommy, Tommy Robinson” were outnumbered by a motley collection of the usual suspects on the left: SWP, Hope Not Hate, and large numbers of muzzies.

The boneheads are just pissed up idiots and have shit themselves after seeing the arrests and harsh sentences given to the inked oiks jailed.

The Patriotic Alternative are a joke. Their idea of resistance is parading with flags then descending on a pub and photographing their lunch.

This is just a silly summer of madness and it’s given the Labour government plenty of opportunities to demonise the “far right” and give a free pass to their client voters on the left.

The “far right” are a bunch of muppets, while they are having their (bone) heads caved in by plod, and being sent away for serious jail time, their manlet hero - millionaire criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (Tommy Robinson) is on a luxury break with the fam in Cyprus.

It’s a joke and will blow over in a week.

Without wishing to rain on your parade Judegdubey, it will be interesting to see what the ECHR do with this. My understanding is that the Americans have already stuck their noses in regarding repatriation. I didn't think the ECHR could be any less popular in my eyes, but it's just possible it might happen here. I would love to see us leave the ECHR, but it will never happen during the current government's terrifying reign of power, one only has to look at Two Tier's CV to see that.
The really pessimistic side of me thinks what is one more ? We already have millions of traitors living in this country, actively subverting the meaning of what it once meant to be British, what difference does one more make ? I suppose if the ECHR was to rule against the UK, it would create another precedent where it will be all the harder to get rid of traitors, but it might open more eyes as to who the ECHR really serves.

Some ECHR judgments are advisory and only require the government to acknowledge and state reasons for their decisions. See Hirst v United Kingdom (No 2) a case around prisoners being given the vote.
The UK usually obeys international law and judgements but has occasionally ignored them.

The Begum case is sufficiently toxic that the Labour government is unlikely to intervene, despite it being stuffed with human right zealots , but given the size of their majority you can never tell.

I applaud her determination to get back into the UK legally. I almost want to let her back in as a poster child for "see, do it legally and it's all good".

She's lost a lot of weight, unsurprisingly with where she's living/being held captive, which has changed her appearance and could have easily snuck back in under a different name, which is what I would have done.
"You won't let me in legally? Then bollocks to you, I'm hopping on a dingy with a different name."

Something has definitely turned. In the comments on a BBC article about house prices (what is this, the daily mail?) there's a lot of discussion about why prices are so high. Normally the consensus would be "le rich tories boomers give me a free house!" and whatnot, but there's a lot of posts like this:











They're getting a lot of positive reception. Usually, posts like this on BBC's comments section are downvoted to hell and jannied out of existence. They might still be swept up, but they must be sweating mightily at the number of people who are openly contradicting the immigration narrative on the BBC's own website.
