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.

Soo on March 26th it'll be 5 years to day they stripped us all of basic and fundamental rights and freedoms under pretence of "flattening the curve" and "stopping the spread".

I'm not sure how, in keeping with the rules, two tier, kneeler Kier quares the mental circle of having had his "voice coach" drive to see him on Christmas Eve. While you were having the everloving shit scared out of you about "killing" your relatives, he had his "voice coach" travel over 50 miles to go see him. He was also pictutred sharing drinkypoos with Rayner, when people were forbidden from socialising outside of their "bubbles".

The cunt is just as guilty of flouting the law as Johnson was, and while I emphatically believe the laws were 100% BS and covid was grossly exaggerrated to hide the fact it escaped from a US funded gain of function lab in China (my pet theory is they needed an excuse to conduct mass testing of mRNA based vaccines) the fact they rammed it down our throats, scared the everloving shit out of people, and lied and lied and lied and lied pure boils my piss.

They took so much from so many, did so much harm on such a vast scale, the flat out murdered people, whipped into histrionics over all this by putting them into needless comas and shoving them onto ventilators.They effectively privatised by stealth the NHS dentistry system and took a ton of necessary health care from the HS from people. And all the while these smug, grinning cunts knew it was all a lie and carried on as normal, because they knew it was a lie.

I met my better half in early part of May 2022. When this whole fuckshow booted off, he was living with his ex. From March 2020 until she left him in early 2022, the poor bastard was not higged by her at all.Not once. No physical affection whatsover. She worked for the NHS and was so sompletely indoctrinated by the bullshit, she refused to even touch him. Jokes on her because he is a thoroughly decent chap, but the fact the lies, the endless fucking lies and the propaganda could do that to a person, to make them not even touch the person they apparently love, is beyond sick


Anyone else remember the video of Rayner and Starmer getting on their knees for the "black lives matter" movement? A man who gets on his knees for nothing isn't worth fecking anything.

Mussolini the whole lot of them from lampposts outside Westminster (in Minecraft/Roblox/Camp Penguin).

Don’t forget Labour had a booze fuelled knees up around the same time as Partygate but this was memory holed by the media and dropped quickly by the police as they were actively trying to sabotage the Tory government there was no wrong doing.

In other good news it looks like our lizard overlords have realised what a disaster Reeves is and have set the press on her. When even the clowns at the BBC turn on you it’s over for a Labour minister.

I still can’t believe the four great offices of state are held by three retards and a closet homosexual.

I'm reasonably certain one of the fellows at the party was upper echelons of the police force involved in investigating. Can't find any confirmation though.

Simple, he declared her a key worker, and key workers were allowed to travel for work, ergo everything is fine, stop asking questions. Of course most normal people recognize that if you made a list of jobs and ranked them how key they were during the pandemic, voice coach probably wouldn't even be on it since it's such a fucking unnecessary thing most people wouldn't even think of it.

Now who do you think will get in more trouble? The man burning the Quran or knife wielding Turk?

My money is on that disgusting Kafar who burnt the word of Allah and the prophet Mohamed! (PBUH)

Though special mention goes to the deliveroo jeet who kicks him in the back of the head.

not only the worst chippy in the city, but the worst chippy in the city for literally decades, it was the worst chippy in the city when my parents' generation were youngsters. The only decent bit of advice my father ever gave me as a kid was that when you were steaming not to get the idea to go to the Blue Lagoon because not even drink made it tolerable.

Maybe if you wanted to lose 3lb via a torrent of liquid shit?

Is The Vale pub still open in Glasgow? The one near the train station that's not Glasgow central? I had a good night in there once enjoying Sahara Nuts and a Guinness or three. I've not seen that particular bar snack sold anywhere else since.

Greetings Citizen

It is my pleasure to inform you, on behalf of the Prime Minister, that your bank account has been awarded a demerit for:

Far right thuggery

Your assets will now be redistributed among what Labour identifies as the working class, specifically Blackrock employees, to support building a better Britain for the peoples of MENA and the Balkans.

We thank you for your participation.
