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.

I'd argue longer than that. It's not just about industry, bombs and bullets and boots, it's about finding people to fill those boots and pull those triggers.

The most commonly used official mainstream reason for getting involved in the war is to defend liberal democracy, and we all know how much that has done for native men of fighting age!

We all know that Ukraine is not actually as liberal and democratic as it is portrayed, but that is the reasoning put forward in the mainstream.

No one will want to fight apart from the truly deluded believers in the current liberal system. A hot war with Russia would be a complete disaster in every possible way for us and our allies.

Bro being British is not a good quality. Simply being born and raised there doesn't make a good person. Would you not rather have a hard working friendly raghead who you can share drinks and bants with than a chav setting fires and smashing bus shelters?

It's quite possible to prefer people for character rather than creed while still recognizing that a great deal of people of a certain creed have no good character. There's a level of racism that's sensible, and you've blown past it. This isn't Greggs.

I understand that you wish to remain in the UK despite your Pakistani origin because of the free food, money, fresh girls and luxury condos that the women at the shelter give you but unfortunately I still want you to go back to your country.

I agree that being British does not inherently make you a good person and how there are British people here who have committed heinous crimes but like why do I have to argue for a country to only be inhabited by its natives? If there are natives causing problems then you fucking deal with it, you don't just import a whole load of new people and pray they act civilized (WHICH THEY NEVER FUCKING DO like bro you can't civilize the uncivilized, that shit is a fucking pipedream for the "empathy driven shitlibs" who want to suck the cocks of these fucking scum because they can't get over the fact their great grandpappy from ye olden days had a friend who said nigger).

Would you argue the same thing with the Japanese over Japan? Should they open themselves up to all sorts because some people from the third world try? I mean from what I've seen doesn't seem like it's going well for them either but I suppose since it's the third world it just DOESN'T COUNT and since based America can do it we can do it 2.

Go choke on a kebab Abdul.

White = bad, and therefore they are not allowed to have a country. That's all there is to it.

You'll never see a liberal saying "Hey wait a minute, Bhutan isn't taking in hundreds of thousands of immigrants a year! I think it's time we change the attitudes of these, quite frankly, racist Bhutanese nazis by importing infinite immigrants that have nothing in common with them and no respect for their culture!"

I am so ready to die for Queer Starmer and globohomo liberalism! Who's with me?

The whole situation is really odd at the moment...

It’s very simple. They think they are honestly right and think they can outlast 4 years of Trump.

I'd rather we have no nigs, coons or pakis here so we can invest our time and effort into native born white people. And I would certainly prefer all the pedo worshiping Muslims fuck off. Allah was a nonce, and Muslims worship a kid fucking Arab, guess this is why they are all so into fucking kids.

We waste so much money on migrants (fuck sake interpreters? For the DWP? WTF?) it's best we tow them out to sea and dispose of them there. We can then figure it out.

There are so many we simply cannot cope. Desperate times mean desperate measures.

Better get used to it. It’s absolutely true. And they are probably right.

 

[Kier Starmer]

Yeah I really have no idea what the EU liberal elites are thinking. They are in a complete state of denial.

Either they really are this stupid, or there's something else going on behind the scenes that we're not fully aware of.

So my absolute schitzo theory.

Blackrock has shored up so much there that if Russia conquers it then that is a shit ton of money lost. Russia wants to create a buffer and installing its own government would maintain that but that government would dictate what goes and this of course would affect its chances. It sounds Tom Clancy I know but I was sussy of covid.

COVID was a total lie. Did you know anyone in good health who was not old who died solely of COVID? Did you see people keeling over dead in the streets?

Personally, I didn't. I know people who got COVID, worked themselves into hysterics, went to hospital and were put onto ventilators and died because of how invasive that is. I know people who took their own lives because the loneliness forced on them became too much. I know people who lost everything and ended themselves because of that.

But normal healthy people with no underlying conditions dying of it? Nope.

COVID was a lie,and the British government as well as everyone in Westminster knows it was bullshit.

I bet his Mum is turning in her grave. Whether you were a monarchist or not, the real Queen at least demanded respect for her dedication and length of service.

As for her limp wristed, tree hugging, fop of a son.... He never ceases to disappoint.

Here we have the Head of the Church of England packing dates for Iftar to be given to Muslims observing fasting during Ramadan.

HERESY.

NOT MY KING.

and here's the follow up.

For the first time in its 1,000-year history, an open Iftar event has been hosted in Windsor Castle's State Apartments.

On Sunday, more than 350 people gathered in St George's Hall to break their Ramadan fast.

On Sunday the call to prayer echoed throughout the building to signal the time to break the fast. Dates were eaten and prayers said before the meal was served.

"It's very kind of the Royal Family to open their home to us," one woman told the BBC.

Another added: "We never thought we'd be here breaking Iftar. We've come a long way."

And Britain has truly fallen further. Will all the mosques be open and giving us Easter Eggs this year ?

I cannot articulate my feelings as they would get me arrested.

I'd like think that whatever homo organized this that they led Good King Charles into believing that the nights festivities would end like this

If it makes you feel better, it was already completely profaned several years ago.

As others have said sadly I cannot type my disgust fully else Yvette will hunt me.

Ironically, the people who organized this don’t respect Muslims enough to understand this from the Muslim POV. Muslims are obsessed with conquest and petty points scoring. Right now there are probably 100 dawah bros crowing “mashallah brothers!!!!! Soon Charles will revert to Islam!!!!!!”
They would respect the country a lot more if Charles became a fuck off militant Christian because that’s what they understand.

And people call me nutso for saying they'll be a muslim PM.

Irony of all ironies that the prophecy of Charles III having his head removed just like the other Charles', except this time it's Muslims doing it, not pissed off serfs.
