UK British News Megathread - aka CWCissey's news thread

https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

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.

Mostly just watching sensors where it's really, really, really fucking cold. But I did get a mug that proves I've been to the arctic, so that's cool
If your name is Sophie and you tag polar bears, all I can say is you have amazing tits and we should have got together after that gig but I kissed that other girl :(
 
The only mixed-race nigger on this thread is FedPostalService, half/half still counts. No white man goes to boxing regularly unless they're an Irish Gypsy or a nigger.
I only occasionally go to boxing, but I do train. If it was good enough for Sherlock Holmes then any white person and spend a few hours a week doing it.

I wish - that I tagged polar bears not that I was a certified titty queen called Sophie - because it was largely very dull. I did play the War of the Ring boardgame with a fellow scientist though. That was a intense three days. Sat there in a sealed cabin, lantern next to us, wind absolutely howling outside. This board where I - Sauron the Great - was ever so close to winning between us. Good shit. We watched The Thing three twice.

I go boxing regularly, but I am 100% potatonigger with a 10% margin of error. Fedpostalservice is actually 100% pure African. I've seen him in real life, he's the most vantablack nigger in existence, light literally cannot reflect off of his skin. He acts as a perfect blackbody object in terms of radiative energy. Plans are in motion to use him as a 100% efficient power transfer system for laser weapons. He's also gay and muslim, and a police officer.
 
If Reeves goes, does Starmer? Is that why he's protecting her?
Birds of a feather (and that's nothing to do with Linda Robson and Pauline Quirke either).

She must have serious dirt on him.

Will post le news when I'm a bit calmer - nothing to do with Thieves, but is to do with Wales being tanked by the South Africans. 73-0 loss.

There's serious talk that the Wales players will boycott the 2026 Six Nations as a result of not just being 'under prepared' for these matches but the WRU's decision to cut a region along with the under investment in grass roots (this was promised by former WRU Director Harry Engelhardt but not delivered where it was needed).

The WRU's board are arguably more pathetic than the Labour Government.

Yeah, things change, but I can't see it happening. When the next GE rolls around, 50%
of 19 year olds and under are muslim. That's a lot of vote harvesting for the imams to ensure their guy wins. labour will court them with whatever they need to secure those votes.
Based on the 2021 census for students 15 and under, the muslim percentage is only 11%. I know things are bad, but it's too early to doom post this hard. We still have around twenty or so years of White-British being a big enough majority to win democratically.
 
the UK nuke factory is laying off like...500 people?
how are we going to get rid of London now : (

genuine question is Zarah Sultana still a member of Your Party or is she just having a category six woman moment by causing even more fucking division? its like your mum being pissed off on a family holiday trying to ruin it for everyone else jesus christ bitch chill out
Edit to add the conference is a disaster. points of order are banned in speeches, people are being removed, and some random white tranny is accusing Hussain and Mohamed of transphobia.

Yep, she's still a member. Just being a retard and avoiding today in solidarity with YP members who are actually already members of the SWP, despite it being in the membership terms that you can't be a member of any other party registered with the electoral commission. Sultana seems to support the party being run by a committee, but interesting to note that it seems like it would be a lay committee i.e. not any of the current MPs. I really hope that happens, and that the most insane Queers For Palestine types will get into that position, not knowing anything about how to actually run a party. Or alternatively, if there is to be only one leader I hope its Sultana so that the male Muslim MPs constantly shit talk her leadership.

Where did you get the footage of the conference? I'd like to watch some of the goings on!

Holy fucking shit, is there something worse than crushingly embarrassing? Because that score’s it. Nightmare times for Wales rugby right now. I can’t believe it’s this bad (:_(

As for the Your Our Their He She Its Everyone’s No-One’s party, start as you mean to go on, eh? Can’t even agree on a name for their new gang, never mind decide on points for a manifesto. How the hell do they ever think they’ll be able to run the country? Of course you need a figurehead for the party - who else is going to be PM? A whole rugby team plus subs and coaches, all in bunk beds around Number 10? Quit arguing about pointless procedural bollocks and just get shit done. That’s all people want from a political party, and it seems like none of them can actually do so. Especially the popular part of the people’s theythembies everyone’s.

Where did the cold weather go? Can it come back, please? My back yard resembles the Somme, and the road out front is rapidly giving the Trent a run for its money. Someone turn the fucking shower off.
 
On twitter, I don't think there is an official livestream but here's some highlights
The tranny accusing the party of transphobia. A woman being kicked out by the chair. Sitting councillors being banned from even entering. This guys fucking scarf.

:story:
Found the livestream on YP's youtube page. Initially just searching for Your Party and nothing was coming up beyond mostly just Novara MEDIA clips.

A couple of fine comrades that will lead us into a bright future:

Had a quick skim through while trying to shortlist for the best dressed award. Happened upon a white girl who proclaimed not just Free Palestine, but also Free Kashmir. They're branching out!
