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.

No one is trying to dox you here. We're pointing out how bad your opsec is and saying it's not true makes it look even more true.

You confirmed you're a woman. Women are bad at opsec because they like talking about themselves way too much. You told us to be looking for a selfie now. So we have more to go on.

Only Londoners would be stealing salmon unless it's a drug addict looking to steal meat to sell on. Salmon is not the kind of food normal people steal, but it's what bored women in London or poorer middle class women starting to struggle to have the Nigella Lawson life style do when the purse strings get tighter. London and lecturer makes too much sense with the way you post. Gloating about a house in London isn't something you would do for opsec. It's something you would do to gloat about owning an expensive house which fits your posts. Opsec would be saying you got a house in Manchester or Liverpool, London stands out too much as the place everyone hates if they're not from it, so only a Londoner would say they bought a house there.

Your real name doesn't need to be attached to your Instagram. If you made an account with an e-mail in a data leak it can be linked back to you through other accounts. Look at some of the community feature dox posts and see how these happen. It's not googling your name and hoping for a hit. It's finding a username, password or e-mail and following them through leaks and public avenues.

Instead of digging yourself deeper and tempting someone to dox you, drop the account and make a new one in a few days. Don't stand up for the police and don't tell people you go along with woke shit.

Once I cross reference the coffee-drinker list, wrestler register and the sex offender database and find your name on all three, I'll turn up at your doorstep.

 

[Mound Dweller]

Having a career and owning a home are mundane and ordinary life achievements and wouldn't normally be considered 'powerleveling' to most people, those details were offered because they were pertinent to the point I was making.

He has a point in that're filtration points which narrow it down massively, gender + child status + location + other stuff makes BIG NUMBER into a VERY SMALL NUMBER fast, and makes other little mundane details key clues. One lovable based retard ITT literally doxxed himself to within >100 people by mentioning twater blocklists for instance, you're not the worst, just be mindful and accept that TMI is TMI and don't be so needlessly specific.

Instead of digging yourself deeper and tempting someone to dox you, drop the account and make a new one in a few days.

There's no need to go that far; they're only breadcrumbs.

Like I've said before I'm a county doxxxing idiot myself, but nothing I say here (or anywhere else really) can't be held off by the good old "it wasn't me" defence, plausible deniability are the magic words here. Look all the poor fools who get jailed for racism posting on social media and the like; they always do it in their own names on accounts with their literal faces plastered on, and thanks to our bullshit laws the piggus jobs are already done for them, they'll never actually put any work into it for anything less than Actual Terrorism IMO, we have little to worry about .
The glowies can and will get you by better means than your own TMIposting anyway.

Don't stand up for the police and don't tell people you go along with woke shit.

N'wah stop trying to scare people off just because you disagree with them it's cringe and gay.

 

[Sir Baz the Intolerant]

Let me know when you've found me. (And the court selfie, whose bathroom it was taken in is indistinguishable from the bathroom of any other establishment).

I say this as someone who genuinely has your best interests at heart, but it's very apparent from this statement alone that you may not fully understand where you are or in whose company you're in. Some lolcows have had their locations leaked from things as minute as cross referencing damaged furniture in the background of a kitchen, or in the orientation of windows in a motel room, some people here really are that autistic.

And while this thread is relatively chill in comparison to most, and the poster's here probably won't dox you, there are absolutely people on this site that will. You're probably a mumsnet terf judging by your post history so you should know that a lot of trannies keep tabs on this site with secret accounts, and being a woman with a lot to lose (house, career etc.) you would be a significant target for them should they spot you. There is also a culture here of users doxing each other, either for the fun of it or as a way to teach people hard lessons about opsec, so much so there's even an entire thread for it and trust me when I say that trying to gamify your own dox is a great way to get yourself featured there.

At the end of the day you're an adult and can make your own decisions, so please don't take what I say here as hostility towards you. But that notice you got when you registered your account about this being the point of no return wasn't put up there by Null for shits and giggles. The amount of info you've posted already might not be enough to find you, but you're very much a newfag and if you keep dropping identifiable info at the rate you're going, then within a year or two all those breadcrumbs will eventually lead somewhere.

Just remember you live in a country with a busy body government that actively hates you, and that's also infested with unemployed psychotic tranny freaks with all the time in the world to find people like you and punish you for not acquiescing to their sexual degeneracy. Be mindful is all I'm saying.

 

[Kier Starmer]

As for Wetherspoons, their steak is their best part, and due to their restrictive staffing, at least they will be Banter Police-free.

I was going to say something sassy about the "wife's son," but that is incredibly gauche.

 

[prayforpills]

I can accept that you're telling me this in good faith, but the details I've shared about myself here are 100% substituted. I really don't live in London and I'm not a lecturer. I know what I'm doing. All that would happen is some troon would find and ruin the life of an innocent man or woman.

Kier Starmer has only one way to get back into everyone's good graces

And that's doing a tiktok dance

"I don't understand why there's so much hype. We're normal people, who do what we want, in an absolutely legal way.

According to the nanny-tranny government you are not allowed to work or do other things normal people do. You are only allowed to do what the nanny-tranny government tells you. Know your place, little ones.

You're playing with fire. You're tempting someone to dox you to prove you're lying. Back away from the keyboard and let things rest.

What do they expect dwarves to do when pantos aren't running? There's only so many Snow white productions and they need to make money all year round. A channel 4 reality show and a crappy BBC drama diversity hire is only going to go so far. Leave the dwarves to entertain people however they see fit.

N'wah stop trying to scare people off just because you disagree with them it's cringe and gay.

I am not trying to scare people off. I'm trying to help an idiot getting themselves in hot water.

Whilst most people on here are fine and, for the most part, friendly and supportive you HAVE to be careful here.

A couple of people have politely pulled me aside and said 'don't overshare things - remember, we want you to be here but Starmer and others don't.'

Starmer and the UK state see anybody who oppose them (regardless of them being Left or Right) as credible threats to THEIR safety and just as much as they want to remove Palestine Action and Kneecap (both are tossers IMO, but both also have the right to freedom of speech) they'll remove us lot for being on a 'Far Right' website... even when some on here are not in any way 'Far Right' at all.

At a time when Labour are at their most despised and political weakest (with rumours now starting that Labour MP's could be set to vote against the November Budget) the powers-that-be will do anything to get a sacrificial lamb or two. None of us want this lamb to be you.

Myself, I don't care where you are in the world, as long as you're a decent person and can chime in with comments and we can have a decent 'back and fore'. I do care if you are putting a target on your head which people would aim at.

I use a VPN, is that generally not considered enough to hide from 2 tier Kier?

Not really, he's posting in the thread. @Kier Starmer, you can even tag him.

Ross Ulbricht used a VPN and other software to try and stay safe from the cops, didn't work out for him.

The Police have technology way above VPN's and if they deem you to be a 'person of interest' then they'll find you and having Proton, Nord or whatever won't stop your street being filled up with cop cars and the shout of 'ARMED POLICE!' coming out.

I'm not sure if you are old enough to remember the 80s game show called 'Interceptor' but think as yourself as one of the contestants trying to prevent the Interceptor from finding you and 'zapping' you.

If you get 'zapped' then you win nothing and, unlike the game, not winning the cash prize will be the least of your problems especially with Starmer keen to jail any dissenters.

If you'd like proof, then I have heard that the owner of The Depot in Cardiff (a performance arts venue) has today received a letter from HM Government 'strongly advising' that Kneecap's performance there in the Autumn is cancelled immediately. Kneecap, love them or loathe them, made a statement that 'Starmer can't stop us' and now it's looking as if Starmer is going to try by any means to do just this.

Do you think he'd care if Mo Charra or whatever he's called is imprisoned?

Oh, how about paying the bent cops to put illegal porn on the band's digital devices or plant drugs in places where they live or visit? How about getting a 14 year old girl to try and chat them up etc?

Remember that the BBC will be given the story first as an exclusive and will then willfully obey the narrative - 'how many more victims' etc. even when the band are totally innocent.

Anything to win - even if it means cheating - that is the Government's resolve with us plebs.

I can't make you make decisions on what you do, nor would I, but a bit of safety first never hurt.

The government is honestly the least of your worries; during the Vordrak saga there was an (utterly unenforceable lol) 10k civil judgement for "hurt feelings" obtained against an anon forum user by a (terrorist) lolcow, if you piss off the right wrong person they will try to fuck with you. Another case in point is Fat Tony, who to this day fucks with Caroline Farrow because he's a fat tranny nonce and doesn't like her, going so far as to false flag data leaks and call in bullshit police reports.

 

[Otterly]

The glowies can and will get you by better means than your own TMIposting anyway.

If gchq really really want to find you they will find you regardless of vpns and I think rhey can get through tor as well. They are also fairly busy, so unless you really get on their nerves for some reason you’re probably not getting the higher ups to sign off on finding you.

Tor is better.

 

[Kofi Drinka]

The government will get you if they want you no matter what. You're always guilty of something and they're always ready to bend the rules.

The reason for Opsec here is the forum members dox people for sport. Your dox being on here means bad actors can take it and try to ruin your life independent of the government. They will try to get you fired, target your family members and make it so when you're searched for online you look unemployable. They will target your social media accounts with mass police reports until the police go after you just to shut them up.

Big brother needs every able bodied man, woman and child to act as spies and informants. Don't assume because the authorities aren't looking for you that the spies aren't. If they can find you and your hard drive full of Hitler memes you're an ideal 24 hour cover story for when Labour fucks something up again and needs to a distraction.

Self preservation for the thread matters. If the troons looking for farmers get a win over one of us it encourages them to look for more. By making it difficult for them to go after any of us, it makes them less likely to go after the rest of the group. Welsh lad does a good job of posting the news here and we don't want him banging up.

Right, so you're a mentally ill, tinfoil conspiracy theorist. Wish I knew that before I wasted my time humoring you.

Since there seem to, for some reason, be other people here just as schizophrenically paranoid as you and for some reason corroborate your extreme beliefs, I'll follow the advice and start a new account.
