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.

 

[Suspicious Activity]

Waking up today was enlightening. It seems many people were right and ‘British people are bad at riots’. It didn’t happen because we had far too many counter-protest peaceful protesters.

For various reasons, I guess. There were too few ‘far right’ thugs committing violence and too many peaceful people hemming them in.

Not sure what to buy, really. All the papers today say things like “Britain stands together to quash ‘far right” protests.”

For a start, the angry people aren’t far right. They’re angry about mass immigration and legit. Now I’m sure the elites and the papers are wanting to spread the message that “there’s no point in even thinking about riots….it won’t work,” So, we’ll see, I guess. If more illegals come flooding in, people are beginning to really object to this awful move. If they don’t curtail this, there will be more anger.

British anger is different from other types of anger. We’re not good at rioting and it’s not going well. I don’t know if that’s good in the long run. They’ll walk all over us given the chance, but mostly, violence doesn’t win…ever.

Two tier Keir should step down. He’s out of his depth and also his eyes are too close together. Don’t trust him.

What I hate is that everybody involved in this triple murder is treated differently, of course, but wrongly. The people who reported too quickly are being lambasted as the worst people. The triple murderer has to all intents and purposes been forgiven and forgotten. The public have been reprimanded for being too angry. The little girls have been put aside….”don’t look back in anger”.

So wrong on so many levels. “Civil war, Elon?” No. Probably not. We couldn’t organise a small riot when required. Despite the fact that the government are desperate to show that the public are either pure, good lefty accepting, upstanding citizens….or “FAR RIGHT”…..who hate everyone not British.
We really don’t think like that. Most reasonable people think that it’s unfair to bring in illegals, give them houses and money whilst ignoring our homegrown problems. Reasonable. Not far right.

I wonder how much longer we can keep the “upstanding, banding together Brits.” Banding together.

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."

I feel like I have to point this out every time she come up, but this isn't a sign of her trying to be good or anything, she literally can't come back any other way. The camp she's currently in is a prison camp run by the Kurdish, and they're not letting her, or anyone else, out unless they know she's being taken far away from them.

So funnily enough the English lolcow/horrorcow through which I first heard the term and led me to finding the farms was arrested last night.



The 40 year old man from Carlisle mentioned above is no other than..

Derek "Decca" Heggie

(Pictured singing karaoke with his Filipino girlfriend while living as an illegal immigrate in the Philippines)

For anyone unaware he's a washed up bare knuckle fighter, although he's arguably more well known for being a wrongun and literal retarded YouTube lolcow.

The last week or so he stumbled across the whole Tommy Robinson grift after struggling to get a couple thousand views on his other videos.




With his views exploding due to the grift he went harder and harder with it until inevitable implosion last night.
Just for any doubters this man has no morals or beliefs, if he thought banging sheep would get him more views he'd be across the border to Wales in an instant.

Only a year ago he was an illegal himself and set him a number of gofundme's to bring his Filipino bride back to the uk, that was until this happened..

Don't make me laugh, I had major abdominal surgery and it hurts like fuck.

You know who gets memoryholed a lot, Reynhard Sinaga. He popped into my mind today. The most prolific rapist in the UK's history, the most convicted rapist in the world. And of course that nowhere covers al, or even the likely majority, of his despicable crimes. 136 rape convictions.

I always thought he'd been memoryholed because his victims were all young men, as if their lives don't count.

I'm surprised she doesn't want to try her chances over in Bangladesh, now that the Muslims are apparently having a big jolly party over there. You'd think she'd love all that.

[Overly Serious]

If were you to attend a rally and stand up and say "rise up White britons, overthrow your oppressors, kill Pakis and Niggers"

or something to that effect-I would presume you would be deported after a month in detention or something?

It's really more a factor of the attention you garner than the actual crime. You could say the most heinous things in your local pub and probably nothing would come of it. You can make a mild statement online and if it gets enough attention you can be done for it. Lauren Southern was banned from the UK under the Terrorism Act. Is she a terrorist? No. Have people said far, far worse things than she has? Absolutely. But she was popular and listened to (and a bit of alright).

Suspended Labour councillor arrested over video ‘urging people to cut throats’​

A suspended Labour councillor has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder after a video emerged in which he appeared to call for far-right protesters’ throats to be cut.

Ricky Jones, who was a councillor in Dartford, Kent, was filmed making the call at a counter-demonstration in Walthamstow on Wednesday evening. He has also been arrested for an offence under the Public Order Act following the incident on Wednesday evening, the Metropolitan police said.


In a statement on X, in which a link to the original video was given, the force said: “Officers have arrested a man aged in his 50s at an address in south-east London.

“He was held on suspicion of encouraging murder and for an offence under the Public Order Act. He is in custody at a south London police station.”

Jones was among thousands of protesters in east London who took to the streets campaigning against racism and violence.

A few protesters held placards that read: “Smash fascism and racism by any means necessary.”

In a video apparently filmed on Hoe Street in Walthamstow, Jones said: “They are disgusting Nazi fascists and we need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.”

Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, posted the footage to his X account and asked: “Why has #TwoTierKeir not taken action?”

A Labour spokesperson said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable and it will not be tolerated. The councillor has been suspended from the party.” Jones will no longer be able to sit on the Labour benches during Dartford borough council meetings.

His suspension came as the newly elected Labour MP for Rochester and Strood, Lauren Edwards, said she “deeply regrets” posting a series of “racist” tweets between 2009 and 2011.

In one post, Edwards wrote: “I want these fucking Estonian retards out of my flat now!” Another post, which appeared to be responding to an account called Baroness Wrenthorpe, said: “Baroness Wrenthorpe text me from Walthamstow to say he’s seen a halal Pakistani Chinese Grill place. Hope he’s not suggesting we go there.”

The tweets were posted between 2009 and 2011, and Edwards has said she made a “significant error of judgment”. In a statement, Edwards said: “I have recently been made aware of a small number of tweets that I posted on Twitter from over a decade ago, which I now deeply regret.

“They were a significant error of judgment on my part, and I apologise wholeheartedly. Since becoming a local councillor and more recently an MP, I have seen first-hand the importance of bringing communities together and working with tolerance and respect for all in our society.”

Mish Rahman, a member of Labour’s national executive committee, said on X: “We missed these tweets on due diligence – I recall ‘retard’ as a key search word. I propose an away day at the ‘halal Pakistani Chinese Grill place’ to investigate what the craic is as on face value it seems a bit racist.”

Labour has been approached for comment on Edwards’ tweets.

What’s frightening is anyone who opposes the government now is called “far-right” by the entire of the media, even my the handful of papers on the right.

The establishment has gone full mask off. They fucking hate us all.

 

[pot of sneed]

The establishment has gone full mask off. They fucking hate us all.

With the full support of the establishment and sheep they've brainwashed into clapping for all their horrible, authoratarian measures. Wouldn't be so depressing if those same idiots didn't think they were heroes who'd always stand against le evil nazis/fascists/insert evil flavour of the week when they're the exact same type who would have gladly enabled the horrors of the past like witch burning or snitching to the gestapo.

I feel like I have to point this out every time she come up, but this isn't a sign of her trying to be good or anything, she literally can't come back any other way. The camp she's currently in is a prison camp run by the Kurdish, and they're not letting her, or anyone else, out unless they know she's being taken far away from them.

Something tells me once her appeals are exhausted and she isn't a citizen the Kurds will give her a very, very short and final trip out of that camp.

Further to my post above, Carlisle wrongun Decca Heggie has now been officially named so just wanted to post reciepts. If any jannies can merge this with post 19043328 that'd be cool with me.

Is it an educated guess that the false communication was saying he wasn't Welsh, or has something said this somewhere?

Rumours are if you say he's not Welsh you get done. Even though KF has found multiple trips and years living in his real homeland.

Have any MPs tried to stand up to labour? We know they're all in bed together but surely someone has publicly said Starmer is a petty twat and he's breaking the law left right and center while making things worse.

What a strange fellow.

I'm still hoping 4chan trolls selective take footage from these fake protests and start reporting them to the police. Also reporting every single muslim with a knife. It would be funny to see the police sharing this around and saying he was one of the leaders in a protest in Plymouth. Would the police even notice if someone added chanting from another video over the top of these?
