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.

This reminded me of Charles Veitch, the guy who wonders around Manchester and Piccadilly Gardens filming crackheads and wogs. Frequently gets himself assaulted, but he's a proper political sperg if anyone is familiar. You could start a UK Sektur with the amount of shit in that guy's history.

I went back earlier this year and it's 100% gone. walking through the streets you'll see 95% niggers and muzzies including full blown ragheads and postbox women. Funnily enough I thought it was worse than Birmingham in terms of demographics, even though Birmingham is worse for being a grey depressing shithole that looks like it's never been washed since 1970.

Manchester has a much higher population density than Birmingham, and probably a much higher total population than the official figure. Lots of students, lots of "international visitors". Lots of illegals crammed into HOMOs around the north and east.

That's nothing to do with the OSA. It's from geforce now, nvidia's cloud gaming portal, which restricted under-age users from accessing 18+ content years ago.

Deserved for using the Nvidia app instead of the Nvidia control panel. Nobody should have to create an account to manage your gpu settings

Wow, I see what side you're on. The side of Savile.

NVIDIA graphics cards are well-known attack vectors for paedophiles to attack children. A case in Mogadishu proves that you can hack the graphics card software to make the fans on the graphics card emit a hand-shaped sound wave that can assault children.

Get serious or let the government do their work, chud.

Do you not know that Russian hackers can hack your NVIDIA graphics card so that they can astral project themselves into your child's bedroom and rape them? We of course need to prevent this, when has big brother not had you and your child's intensions at heart?

Maybe Britain’s survival instinct is finally kicking in:

Sparked by a local uprising in the Essex town of Epping last month against a migrant hotel after a 38-year-0ld Ethiopian migrant allegedly sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl, the protest movement spread to major cities over the weekend, including London, Manchester, and Newcastle.

A flashpoint was the Thistle City Barbican hotel in the London borough of Islington, with hundreds of anti-mass migration protesters under the banner of “Thistle Barbican needs to go – locals say no”.

The Fifth Worlders who have been imported to displace the British population are unconcerned:
Some of the young male migrants were seen blowing kisses from their hotel window at the protesters.

They know they have the government on their side.

In Manchester,
The protest also saw an Irish Republican nationalist donning a Union Jack flag, a sight that would have been unthinkable two decades ago, but which he said was necessary, claiming that the “same people are trying to replace us”.

Thistle City Barbican is one of many hotels to be utilized in the invasion and erasure of Britain. Presenting the four-star Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf, London:

It isn’t only in hotels that the UK's neoliberal regime houses the welfare colonists. During WWII, the RAF defended Britain from invasion. This time, it is on the other side. A look from outside at RAF Wethersfield:

At this point, it is hard to see how Britain continues to exist without passing through a civil war.

No 16 year old is going to vote for Labour now...

The woke ones will back Corbyn, Greens, Libs, Nationalists or Independents and the rest will back Reform UK.

If anyone wants some good news, albeit vicariously, I have finally cracked how to make a decent ragout. I am currently sitting on the sofa clutching my stomach and regretting nothing at all.

Manchester is absolutely horrendous. We went there a few months back for a concert and it was horrible to visit there. Dirty, smelly, felt unsafe. Did have a spectacular burger though and the concert was excellent. Meant to be going back there for another show on December but I've sold my ticket and re-booked in another city because I don't want to go back to Manchester any time soon.

I lived there for just over 18 months, many moons ago and worked near Shit-a-Dilly Gardens and even then it was bad. It's gone far downhill since then. It was living there when that concert was bombed that made me GTFO, along with the incredibly cucked reaction of locals.

Know how they say hindsight is 20-20? A thing happened to me the day that terrorist attack happened and it's stuck with me ever since then. I was grocery shopping at a supermarket and this Mudslime woman in a headscarf was staring at me with real, deep hostility (I can't say it wasn't reciprocal, it absolutely was). I remember thinking, "what is going through her head? What does she know?". Since then I've wondered, given what we now know about the mosque the bomber went to, did she know something was going to happen? Most likely yes, they all despise us and want to harm us.

Think the worst of it is further north, we’ve just had it very windy, easing off now. Wouldn’t have wanted to be any further uphill though. Garden seems to have survived ok, some of the taller stuff is down.

Don't forget to batten down the wild haggis. Don't want them getting blown away. (When I lived Norf Of The Wall I had my nephew's believing for a solid 2 years that they were real wild animals, and that the Sherrifs Court is so called cos at start of session they bring out the Ceremonial Lassoo. Good times).

Bless ‘em. I think most parents do the same, hear the call of the wild ones when you’re out on the hill.
We have our trampoline strapped down with industrial strength straps drilled into the lawn and a pole after a storm a few years ago left us with three (3) partial trampolines/gazebos on the property that had blown in and ours wrecked. Spent about a week on the local FB group with people going ‘is this your ….? It blew into our garden….’
Apparently the power’s out further north but they’ll be fine, you don’t live on Shetland and get bothered by wind.
87 is my benchmark, that WAS bad

Omg the Great Storm? The one Michael Fish said wouldn't be a big deal but it was actually hurricane force winds? I remember that! Our neighbour had a beautiful Edwardian plate glass greenhouse. Had,being the operative word because it was fooked after that.

I know like yea innocent until proven guilty and all that shit but I can't help but feel the word 'allegedly' is doing some fucking heavy lifting considering there is literally video proof. Like yea ok he hasn't been convicted but at the same time is there really any difference? Also another 'hundreds' lie. I mean yea there were hundreds if you're american and say everything up to 99 hundred is in the hundreds I guess. If anyone looks at those videos and says yea that's in the hundreds then importing immigrants is probably a good idea, replace them and you'd double the iq of that company in one move.

Some of the best footage from last year was the shit out of ireland, loyalists and nationalists both marching together through Belfast. Genuinely surreal to see. One of the main reasons I went to Ireland a few months ago. Regardless, southerner or northerner we are still brothers. There's no point in wanting the emancipation of those six counties, no point in wanting to unite ireland if they're no longer fucking irish in any manner.

Just remember when the government says they're going to do x, use the "present your balls" argument. The government has run out its credit line, and whilst there is the commie piece saying "the UK can never go bankrupt." I assure you, it can.

None of this shit can be implemented for a long time. I will say a huge thank you to the Indian dentist who is seeing me on an emergency. My other half knows I am pretty racist, but most Indian dentists I have been to have been fantastic.
