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.

The St Rollox Tesco is one of my very favourite Tescos in all the world although I am ashamed to admit as an FF fan that I have not shoplifted there.

I'm stoked for their new album and tour. They are one of my favorite bands.

This was on the Grauniad, this morning, talking about the migrants, and I dunno, man, maybe I'm being cynical, but doesn't this image look a bit 'staged', for want of a better word?



The inclusion of the baby bottle is just a little too perfect. Take that away and all I see is a pair of shoes, clearly belonging to an able-bodied man of fighting age, who should've stayed in his own fucking country to try and make it better, rather than crawling into ours and actively making it worse.

I know it's meant to evoke something in me, but I literally just don't care. Fuck off, we're full.

Its a beach. Most likely there are tons of stuff stranded and forgotten from families and beachgoers. The photographer could make any narrative he wanted with his little stilleben.

these two are not unconnected.

the more these faggots try to curate people's emotions, the less normal people should want to respond.

 

[The Crack Spiders Bitch]

Reading about Rotherham and the Asian gang rapes - your country is seriously fucked up.
We had a race riot because of Lebs getting uppity at the beach and our foreign gang rapist is dead the second he leaves prison. Even if Australians can't get to him, his own community is going to kill him - he's already been marked for murder.

Meanwhile, your government arrested fathers for trying to prevent their daughters from being raped and no one did anything?

Pretty strong collective retardation.

 

[teriyakiburns]

We're aware. Our institutions conspire against us all the time and the whole thing seems riddled with paedophiles and islam dicksuckers.

The fact that the media made such a successful effort to hide it all is the worst part of it. They not only went out of their way to hide the scale of the problem, but also cast anyone who protested as a crazy loner and aracist, and completely erased multiple incidents of people fighting back, in order to craft three narrative threads: it wasn't really a problem, nobody cared if it was, and they're all just working class sluts anyway. They've spent the last decade, pretty much, drip-feeding the story out in the hope that no particular element is enough to provoke a violent response. It has seemed to work for a while, but people are definitely angry.

So, I've just finished watching Tommy's documentary.

It was very, very illuminating.

Didn't you just vote Starmer in though?
Not saying the Tories are any better (because absolutely not) but our political system is not that different.
You basically just resigned yourself to eating more shit but smooth instead of crunchy.
You're angry and so what?
I don't see that anything has changed between when Rotherham happened and now. It seems like the strategy for the slimiest of your countrymen is just to flee to Australia.
And I don't want any of you here.

It's nothing personal - I want immigration to drop to basically nothing.

 

[Miriam Margoyles]

I think it was interesting that the whole 'chavs/benefit scroungers' narrative was very much on the up around the same time as all the grooming gang stuff was going on, effectively creating this sort of stock character strawman of the white working class that it was OK to scorn and look down on.

"Oh, they were probably going to grow up and just be dole scum anyway,"
Oh yeah, as opposed to what? A rapey taxi driver or kebab shop owner? Yeah, real fucking pillars of the community in the Muslim demographic (who, as it turns out, are disproportionately way more likely to be claiming benefits than white British people anyway, but who were never negatively portrayed in any media dealing with 'Benefits Britain').

I think the real thing I struggle to grasp is the fact that your family can have lived on this island and paid into the system for generations, but if you get made homeless, you're fucked and that's entirely your fault. But they'll put these straight off the boat dune coons who shouldn't be here in the first place up in hotels on the taxpayer's expense and everyone's just supposed to be OK with this.

It's so surreal to me. I'm amazed that that idea even got past the talking stage, let alone become official government policy.

 

[ParasiteSteve]

And your nation is in the shitter as well, why havent you gone out with your kangaroo guns and sorted it all out, stone the crows mate.

Yeah, its hard to make a real change when the entire globalist network is trying to crush anything down, and legions of fuckwits who get their life philosophy from gary liniker and faggots on GB news to make a change in this country. Its going to take time, and stuff has changed, we just had a riot, and more people are waking up to racial reality.

This and all the veterans and other ex-military personnel who served to protect the country in war yet get pushed onto the streets yet house immigrants in hotels. I really just don’t understand it, is there some specific law that requires us to? I am unfamiliar with specifics in that regard.

It all boils down to a single question: cui bono?

Who benefits?

Think about this question deeply.

If you’re on the streets there’s usually a very good reason for it. If you can’t abide by the “no heroin” rules of a hostel then I really don’t care if you’re on the streets, I don’t care if you’re a veteran or not.

I’d vote for any party that promised death squads for tramps.

 

[The Crack Spiders Bitch]

False equivalency.
I linked our race riot which did actually make some dunecoons flee to the USA (lol) and we never had grooming gangs enabled by the police.
If we did, there wouldn't be people with pursed lips sipping tea.
I showed what happened to our gang rapist who targeted whites.
He's in prison and a dead man.

Yeah, its hard to make a real change when the entire globalist network is trying to crush anything down, and legions of fuckwits who get their life philosophy from gary liniker and faggots on GB news to make a change in this country. Its going to take time, and stuff has changed, we just had a riot, and more people are waking up to racial reality.

Well that's why I am asking.
And it's odd because you'll nearly burn a village to the ground over the soccer.
So I am just wondering why, especially now that it's resurfacing again, that people still aren't taking to the streets.

There were too many brown people seen at our favourite hotspots on New Years Eve and social media is already thinking it's time to bring back the white Australia policy.



We also chanted racist shit at the cricket the other day to show our dissatisfaction with immigration.
And again, this is just us noticing things getting shitter.

You had years of children being raped enabled by your justice system and....nothing?

I'm not trying to make you feel bad/provoke.
I am genuinely confused as to why absolutely nothing got done.
I don't want your country to become more of a shithole, for obvious selfish reasons, but also because you cunts are alright.

That's all very well, until the state decides that Muhammad and his inbred horde of brown mutant offspring need your house, at which point they make you a tramp.

It will have to drop into the negative for a period, to correct for the immense damage done. And it will. We will win, in both hemispheres.

I was going to say that this was a non sequitur but then I realised a Redditor would do that and I’d have to kill myself for doing it.

 

[teriyakiburns]

Not saying the Tories are any better (because absolutely not) but our political system is not that different.

No, we voted the tories out. Labour's vote share went down in the last election by a significant amount, with a significantly greater number of labour voters just not bother. It's just that people voted for a bunch of other parties, which let Labour take a bunch of seats and get a majority. The anti-tory vote is why Reform even has any seats at all.

We had country-wide riots just a couple of months ago over immigration, which were triggered by something that has already happened several times in the past with relatively little response. That's what I mean when I say people are angry. The extreme reaction by Starmer knocked things back a bit and people are waiting to see what happens next, but I'd be surprised if we we make it through the summer without more riots.

The authorities prioritized maintaining good race relations over protecting people. They feared that if this came to light the public would be so outraged that they would begin lynching random brown people. So they covered it up because in their mind it's better to sacrifice a minority of innocent people to protect the majority.

It was never supposed to be known to the world that this happened it was supposed to be covered up from now until the end of time, they forgot one thing though and that is the authorities are grossly incompetent at everything so of course it became known this was happening and race relations have suffered far worse now as a result than if they just told us it was happening in the first place.

As to why there was no mass disobedience over it you'd have to go into British culture to understand. We are a cynical and pessimistic people. We aren't the French or Americans who will erupt over minor things, we build up our frustration and anger until it hits a boiling point, and then we go mental. You have to remember that while the powers of Europe were having revolution after revolution our revolution was halted because of rain.
