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.

Oh, Birmingham Iman's are making demands now.

We're the country that literally invented Israel to keep the goddamn ayrabs busy for fucks sake, what makes the goatfuckers so confident Kosher Keith is gonna listen to them? I suppose you might argue perhaps it's meant to be intended for their own regular audience, just to keep up appearances and not actually achieve anything, but if that were case it'd be in bloody Urdu, they're getting too big for their sandals I think.

 

[Coolio55]

Very disappojnted if it's Attenborough. I know someone who's spoken to him (Job related) and he was apparently very nice.
Still. It's always the charmers, isn't it?
Well... Actually... In this country it's usually those that you can spot a mile off. "Stay away from the guy with the funny eye" and all that.

Ninja edit: Speaking of Mr. Tumble, there used to be some absolutely savage youtube poops of Something Special.

 

[NoIdeaWhatImDoing]

Britbros, talking about nonces I remember a news article about someone well know in the premier league that was being investigated for raping a couple of teen girls in the 80s it sounded like he was a manager or something like that. There wasn't any more info of the case after that. Do you know anything about the case? It didn't sound like bullshit because two different women came forward with similar allegations.

 

[Zoot]

I'm pretty sure Attenborough isn't a nonce, if he's anything it's a sex pest.

I reckon that might be a better fit. But I tell you who I would bet money on being a nonce - stephen fry.

Seen some clips of some weird jokes on QI. one of those where someone else is making the joke and you think - that will be the one people use to say "oh they all knew but it was covered up."

His comments on the rape gang stuff, his boyfriend, this beef with JK. even I read his early biography and some of his novels and there is a lot of weird shit in them (public school faggotry kind of stuff)

If I had to make a guess. Attenborough sex pest, Fry nonce. I had to only make one bet, Fry nonce would be my number 1 pick.

 

[Crunkle]

He may be daring Starmer to sack him, which would presumably trigger a putsch (successful or otherwise) in response.

I think this is a fantastic idea. Changing a leader a year into government has always gone well and hasn't caused any issues before. I really hope this bickering with Streeting explodes into a Corbynite v. Starmerite v. Blairite war within the party.

Cards against Humanity is funny for the average Clyde 23, from Burton

I dread having to play it, honestly. It goes for way too long, it gets boring after like 3 rounds.

My neighbour got really into it and bought ALL (and I mean all) of the expansions specifically for Christmas nights. The only great thing about it is that you get to see what these shockingly-normal people are capable of. We got a black card during Christmas 2022 that read: "What's that smell?". The nicest, sweetest lady at the Christmas dinner played the card: 'Queen Elizabeth II', and I was choking. Been a long time since I've laughed at something that hard, and I think it's because she was just sat there with the most satisfied grin on her face.

Also, why does this lizard get front-page headlining on the BBC website? He triggers my fight or flight response. There's just something unspeakably evil about him and his photo, I think it's the eyes. Anthony Zurcher. There's a surprising lack of information about him online, I was looking for an 'Early life' section so I could quantify his articles about the US/Iran situation properly.

 

[FedPostalService]

Back after a short ban. I think Null was on her period.

Streeting is a practicing faggot

I think he’s at the professional rather amateur level.

Please don't let Rupert be a warhawk too

Stop acting like a yank isolationist. You are a disgrace to the police service.

Anyone crying about bombing Persians or Slavs needs to be deported with boat monkeys.

David Walliams I can absolutely believe is as rapey cunt. Just look at him:

I seem to remember there was a story about him being creepy and trying to bang a 16 year old. But because he supports Labour and has the correct opinions whilst she was hot and became a model who sometimes modelled lingerie the lefty cancel model quickly decided she was a whore who was asking for it and the story was memory holed.

It's amazing to me it is somehow new news to anyone on here Russell T Davies is an absolute child fucker and groomer.

1. He's a faggot. Gay men target groom and rape kids. It's how new gays are made,with being gay wholly unnatural and abnormal. Gays don't exist naturally they're made when they're groomed and abused as kids.

2. His output of media is fucking obvious. If you want to see what kind of nigger loving, migrant cock swallowing,tranny worshipping faggot that man is, watch his show "Years and Years". He's blatant, upfront and clear about where his loyalties lie and this was half a decade ago and then some.

You should be at the stage where you don’t need to look it up.
For further training there is a book on phrenology or something that covers personality types by features.

I have it with events. I can just tell. Yesterday I thought to myself, I bet Jews owned the Windrush. Checked. Yup.

Not only owned it but they funded a marketing campaign in the West Indies advertising a wonderful new life if the black pay the fee to come to Britain. I bloody knew it.

This was normal until the 2000s. Celebrities of all professions would fuck young teenagers. Girls would throw themselves at them and with everyone doing it no one had a reason to call it rape or report it. The girls knew what they were doing and so did the celebrities. Girls gloated who they had bagged to their friends and it never went further than that. Social media and access to camera phones changed the game and now celebrities keep it to a single teenager or avoid it to not get #metooed. Everyone involved knows what they're doing. It wasn't a secret and their problem with Saville was that he went too young compared to the others and went to vulnerable kids. Most pop stars would pick a girl from the crowd who was fully developed and not be creeping on sick children in a hospital or kids who hadn't hit puberty. If Saville had been outed sooner then the entertainment industry would have had to admit they were all fucking kids. He was made the example and they all tutted while knowing fucking teenie bopper groupies was standard practice and as long as you didn't go too low (at least in how low they looked if not age number) no one was going to object. Many of the people arranging these girls to visit the star's dressing rooms have stuck around into upper management in the BBC now. They would get girls or boys from the crowd and ask if they wanted to meet the Top of the Pops singers knowing if they took them into the dressing room they would be getting fucked.

I reckon that might be a better fit. But I tell you who I would bet money on being a nonce - stephen fry.

Can't lose that bet.

From the Queer as folk (1999) wikipedia page.

The main characters are Stuart Allen Jones (Aidan Gillen), who is highly sexually active, and successfully so. His long-time friend Vince Tyler (Craig Kelly), who has a crush on Stuart, has less luck with men. 15-year-old Nathan Maloney (Charlie Hunnam) is new to the gay scene but is not lacking in self-confidence.

@Zoot Can someone tell Farage to stop sucking brown cock? This type of thing will sink Reform. It's a confusing name that looks like a digital ID and it says they're doing to sell more of the country to brown foreigners. It's what people are picking reform to oppose.

Well, yeah. Of course it is.

If a party has non white people in positions of influence then they are not, no matter what you're told, in any way "for" the native population.

Everyone is racist to one degree or another and that's actually okay. But you cannot expect anyone who is a paki or a Muslim to give a shit about white native Brits.

I don't know what the solution is but Reform ain't it any more than the two Davos run parties are

 

[teriyakiburns]

Fucking hell. Reforms just a paki party isn't it.

It's Farage's ejector seat. If (when) the party properly boots yusuf, Farage will abandon it, call it racist, and claim another pension.

Do Arabs or the Chinese own more of this country now? Has there been any records of how the country has been sold?

It's being debated so much in committee stages and people are pushing out lists like that but it's nowhere near that stage. I'll be honest I've been looking at it for a while now as a highly emotive news capturing bill that can soak up public attention and occupy headlines while the government do whatever they want in the background.

For those that don't know it's almost done the house of commons and the needs to go to the house of lords who go over it a number of times and then the final stage the king/queen rubber stamps it for royal assent to become law.

They tend to want to own different stuff. The Chinese want to mostly own utility's and key infrastructure so that your country becomes solely dependent on the Chinese (and place more bought of execs and politicians). Arabs tend to want to own stuff like big hotels, media outlets and football teams as a way to show off. The exceptions to the rule being housing and property which the royal family alone owns over £1 billion in property.

A billion doesn't seem very much. A few country estates and you hit that easily. I want to know building ownership demographics.
