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.

Is this 2 pages of arguing over minute definitions which proves that nothing will ever happen?

Yes it is archer. Yes it is.

And that body guard just committed assault probably classed as with a weapon judging by his techniques.
He’s got no more rights than you or me especially on a public street

 

[Programmer Socks]

Follow? No he's a cunt, his whole business model is to going to shitholes nice places and antagonizing the wildlife local people like it's dole dosser safari, pure lowest common denominator trash, he deserves to get tossed into the canal.
That said; he did one on a nearby spawn point, and I recognized every single person he "interviewed", you know, "local character" types, funniest shit I've ever seen.

Agreed, but I'm a terrible person and find that kind of thing funny.

He used to be interesting when he went to towns and dedicated the decline or showed the architecture. Then he turned into a snitch for the coppers, now he's an establishment liar and controlled opposition. He picks on random people for content now, which is scummy.
He was outside of the courthouse calling Lucy Letby a child murdered while the trial was happening right there and then. Nothing happened to him. He's a snitch, a cunt and a nonce.

I've always had mixed feelings on Veitch, on the one hand he's always come across as a bit of an attention seeking faggot who often initiates confrontations with people only to then run and hide behind the nearest police officer when shit starts to get out of hand. And speaking of the police, he has an utterly shameless habit of arse licking the balls off of the local constabulary to the point that it gets genuinely pathetic. These are the same people that would stand with their cocks out staring at a Paki raping a child, only to then beat you half to death for calling them out for it, they deserve nothing but open contempt.

But having said that I'd be lying if I said he can't be a bit of a guilty pleasure at times. In particular his willingness to just straight up assault chavs and junkies that try to threaten him is something I can always appreciate.

Note the hand in his pocket to try make it look like he's armed with a knife or something. Should have punched the mong out for that alone.

Hey guys, how ya doing?

Oh, me? Not so great. See, I recently discovered this site locrating.com, anyone heard of it?

Well, if you've not been astonished and/or horrified today, check it out!

Basically, it's a site that let's you check some statistics on schools in your area, or maybe an area you're planning on moving to. Some of the stats include stuff like ofsted rating, truancy rate, and some more interesting stuff like demographic breakdown and "English not first language" percentage of pupils.

How this site exists and isn't a national fucking scandal is kind of bewildering to me. I don't think I've kept it a secret that I'm moving to London. Well here's a fun game: put in any postcode within the M25 and find a school with more than 50% white British students.

I've been fucking horrified with this site. The nearest school to my new house has over 50% Indian students. That's not a joke. Over 50%. Why even live in England at this point??

I've found nearby schools with over 75% English not first language.

I wasn't planning on sending my son to a private school, because I literally just bought a second house and I'm a little over stretched right now, but what choice do I have? I guess I'll be selling my kidney to loansharks to send my son to a school where they don't give the assemblies in Urdu.

Apparently a school that I live near has less than 4% white british pupils, another nearby one is at 8.8%, I didn't realise they actually collected data on this or that it was anywhere near this bad.

 

[Mound Dweller]

This datamining tool has been shown to me: https://scrandle.com/, and it is very important somebody else does it so my opinions can be validated;

Apparently a school that I live near has less than 4% white british pupils, another nearby one is at 8.8%, I didn't realise they actually collected data on this or that it was anywhere near this bad.

Do they though, or it like in Fr*nce where they get around it by pinpointing sickle cell?
Wouldn't surprise me if literally all the data ever is in some big box somewhere it's just nobody allowed to touch it because muh GDPR or some such similar bollocks.

Appears the data comes from the national schools census and it does seem to line up with the rough ethnic breakdown of the areas where these schools are, but less white.

For example you have this random school in Bradford which is even worse than the ones near me:


And you have this random one in rural Cheshire:


It looks to be pretty accurate, but I'm not going to stand outside a school noting down the pupils ethnicities to fact check it.

Edit;

According to the government website 60.4% of schoolchildren are white british and that is a number that is trending downwards

Sentencing guidelines are fucked and it's only a matter of time until we get an exceptionally ugly challenge to the law.

The sheer fact that a man and a woman convicted of the same crime can receive different punishments is astonishing, the fact that a man with a kid will stand a higher chance of going to prison than a woman with a kid is also particularly grating. These are facts that can be easily obtained via sentencing statistics, and I don't understand why nobody has started the legal challenge to it.

So if we're broadly aware that one group of people is automatically getting a different sentence to another, it checks out that trannies, minorities etc. are each getting different sentences for the same crime.

It isn’t only at Baseball games that the Pride Progress flag representing politicized sexual perversion, transsexual psychosis, and anti-white race hate replaces those representing the nation. From neoliberal-central Britain:

Christian Concern has accused Westminster City Council of ‘indoctrinating’ Londoners and ‘breaching planning control’ after repeatedly rubber-stamping mass LGBTQI+ Pride flag displays without proper consultation on one of the most famous streets in the world.

Westminster Council’s chief executive, Stuart Love, refers to his cabal of fellow shitlibs as “Wokeminster Council.”

In recent years, the display has included over 300 LGBTQI+ Progress Pride flags which will take over Regent Street for weeks on end and beyond the time allotted.

On 22 June, the flags are set to replace the Union Jacks currently flying on Regent Street to remember VE Day and the sacrifices made in World War Two.

As usual with libshits, the symbolism is as subtle as a stick poked in your eye.

This sickness has prevailed for years now:

[anklyscr]

and when the next Paki is caught it's going to fucking explode.

I'm optimistic but I don't think anything will happen. on the other hand we have endless stories of sexual emergencies by these retards so it won't take long to find out.

locrating.com

fucking depressing. my alter mata is 20% non English first language and 11% paki. supposed to be a good christian school.

I’d happily pick a cabinet from on here, people seem more honest and effective than the shower we have in power now. I want my country back .

Dibs on energy secretary. we can drill baby drill and spend on nuclear reactors. lets get the people cheap power.

The German economy is weakening — and yet many sectors desperately need skilled workers, including the medical professions, especially nursing, as well as IT, and construction. Germany also has a shortage of educators, cooks, and people who can drive trucks and buses. At the end of 2024, there were around 1.4 million unfilled positions in German companies nationwide.

why can't or won't those industries employ germans? Apparently there's 3 million of them going spare

I've noticed that during summer months and other times of peak travel, incidents like this are getting more and more prevalent.

In addition, there's virtually no trains out of Cardiff today due to track issues (and Chris Brown is at the Principality Stadium tonight).

Almost as if somebody doesn't want us to travel.

 

[FedPostalService]

Which of these people is the most racist?

Late in replying to this interesting post, but if a black guy was randomly attacked in a pub with Owen Jones and friends in one corner an in the other corner my dad’s “send ‘em all back” drinking buddies in the other, I know which group of men would step in to stop it and which would be sending out angry tweets.

These people hate us, they hate themselves, and they don’t care about the “oppressed” groups they pretend to cry about.

This neo-liberal progressivism is a fig leaf used to cover a destructive nihilism that consumes these people.

As a wise man once said, they want you broke and dead, your kids raped and brainwashed, and they think it’s funny.

Nothing was travelling North of Preston yesterday on the west coast mainline from early afternoon to late evening and not a peep about it on the news.

Instead they’re playing Iranian propaganda nonstop for some reason.

 

[Zoot]

Because immigration is about destroying the host nation's culture and then genociding its people. They tell you what they are up to sometimes.

Also I haven't been on bitchute for ages and not without a vpn for even longer. Only found out today that you can't watch videos there from the UK now either.

We really are a deaying stalinist shithole

If an MP from one of the wokest parts of London has had enough, then this is not good news for 'Keef'.

That's strange but not surprising.

A contact of mine works for Network Rail in Canton, Cardiff, and is also fairly active on the Rail UK Forum, so I'll ask him about this on the weekend.

If there's shenanigans, he'll let me know.

They've been collectively looking for a good excuse since Reform passed them in the polls, not exactly a secret how this stuff works.

Not really sure what they are expecting to gain from it if they do boot Starmer out of no 10, if they do what the tories just did of having a new prime minister every few months/weeks in response to opinion polls then by the next election they will be 5+ leaders deep and everyone will be just as fed up of them.
