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 am down in England this week, and I’m informed that on the m60 (? I think he said m60, I don’t know Manchester well, but coming down off the Pennines into the outer burbs) just before you get into Manchester, one of the bridges has been neatly painted with the words, ‘ABOLISH THE PARASITE CLASS.’
And it’s hot, and there’s a hosepipe ban. Apparently the reservoirs are literally empty and there’s grass growing on the exposed beds

Just heard on the news. There's 1 million foreign born people on universal credit.

I know where we cut the benefits from first. We can save at least 500 million a year in 1 easy rule change. No benefits for foreigners.

And it's currently pissing it down in Yorkshire. At least Bradistan will get a sorely needed wash, the place is a shithole.

Nothing but a bunch of right wing extremist propaganda, Mrs Otterly. We love the newcomers, we consider them British and we sure won't allow any form of HATRED in our beloved, peaceful non-American (which means we're sensible but also we still suck American cock), strong and independent diverse country.

Now, please move on and pay your tax + more tax for wrong-think + more tax for wrong-view and while we're at it + more tax for your previous tax.

Cheerio.

Only 1 million?!

That we know of. I wonder whether numbers regarding immigrants on benefits are fudged to make it seem far less worse than it actually is.

 

[Overly Serious]

I’m reading about this now. A super injunction in place to stop the public knowing about it because they fear riots. NONE of these people will contribute to the UK. Maybe a handful out of all of then will be useful. And the government, who are supposed to be elected by the people to work for the benefit of rhe people, keep it secret because they know they’re acting against the people.
Our rulers hate us. This is treasonous. How much more are people supposed to take?

Honestly, in some ways I'd prefer to take in the Afghanis who didn't sell out their own country to foreign invaders. Even if the foreign invaders were us.

(Yes, yes - I know, doesn't need to be either. Just making a point).

Don't get too excited. I think it's the usual Left Wing / Corbynite / anti-capitalist mob. This isn't the rising you're hoping for.



And yes, on the M60.

It's....filling at least. But you can tell most of their origins lie in desert people scraping together anything they can to survive.

You'd have thought when things were this tense and the economy was so fucked that it takes months to find one thread they can yank at that they'd abolish the fucking Summer recess so MPs would be able to do their fucking jobs.

That's the thing I hate about this Labour government, when they were elected in last year on the premise of "holy shit the country is so bad we need to get in ASAP and fix EVERYTHING" they immediately went on Summer recess instead of working overtime to ensure that the first year saw as much done as physically possible.

My hope is that every fucking Labour MP loses their seats in the next election, just like how the Tories were destroyed.

My real hope is that every single one of them gets raped by Pakis in front of their family

They don’t realize how dangerous the situation is.

They're either extremely stupid or supremely arrogant. Jo Cox was killed when people were far less awake to what is going on. Now, we all know,because it's being discussed in the mainstream media, how much money we're giving them in benefits, how few work or integrate, how many are coming here, how we are letting them roam in communities, raping women, to name a few of these issues.

I wouldn't cry if they got the Jo Cox, Sir David Amess or even Mexican Mafia type deaths.

I'd be up the local pronto though, mass piss up to celebrate.

@BongoMongo Don't forget that you have an angry 'Far Right' as well as an angry 'Far Left' who are rounding big time on the 'Progressives' within Labour.

Jo Stevens (useless clusterfuck Welsh Labour MP from Cardiff) has said that she will oppose Kneecap's October concert at a venue called The Depot in Cardiff, and is now facing flack from the Free Palestine mob who believe her to be an Israel shill because she won't side with them. Her office and her staff very nearly faced damage when Palestine Action protested there over the weekend.

I can see PA or similar going full Raoul Moat on Labour MP's. They ARE that demented, and whilst people say 'oh they're a psyop and are controlled' Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion are also psyops but have not (yet) been proscribed. PA now can't be controlled by the masters and, despite attempts at shutting them down, they will bite the lefty hands which fed them and go ape-shit.

Good. Now can bake off be next please? fucking hate cooking shows.

 

[prayforpills]

I'm genuinely conflicted as to whose side I'm on here. On the one hand, TMD. They should fall in line or fuck off (willingly or otherwise) to whatever desert shithole they originated from at their earliest inconvenience and should never deign to lay even their eyes, much less their hands, on another civilised person ever again.

On the other hand, fuck the police in this country. They willingly sided with them and took up arms against the natives years ago- the policewoman whose face was culturally enriched has probably gleefully arrested multiple native people for the 'crime' of posting Islamophobic tweets online.

This is how the barbarians reward your loyalty:

View attachment 7635065

Parenthetically, I've been banging the drum of "5'4" women have no business being police officers" for years now and every story I see like this just strengthens my resolve on that point. Female police officers are chocolate teapots and picking DEI over competence and suitability for the role only ever results in shit like this happening. How long before one of them is KIA (if that hasn't happened already)?

We should not be putting women on the frontlines against the psychotic rampaging neanderthals who have more respect for the shit on the soles of their shoes than they do for this country and its native inhabitants and laws.

That policewoman is probably just trying to pay her rent, how could you possibly know she supports wokeshit and arrests people for tweets that criticise Islam?

Female policewomen in the UK are not protected adequately. I know of some autistic freak who assaulted one brutally and got a slap on the wrist (months of community service). (On the plus side, he was forced to go to work for once...

I used to not mind bake off, but now every time I watch it, it's just one random MILF in training, a middle aged jeet, and an older immigrant nana type that get all the focus. Oh and the obligatory homo. I actually like cooking, and baking and Bake Off is farcical.
