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.

Traitors don't get a say in where they're banished to. Traditionally I thought they got moved to the morgue.

I agree with all your other points, but let’s not get into fed-posting, not least because it’s ultimately pointless.

Whether you think elections in the UK are legitimate or not, you must know that: ‘Hang the Muslim sympathisers’ is never going to be on the ballot. Increasing talk of treason/sedition, beefing up the strength of feeling around it, talk of revoking citizenship for those involved in it, however… is a lot more palatable I’d say.

treason/sedition

I'll be very interested to see the plans Restore UK have for criminalising helping migrants, and other potential crimes they could label "treason". I bet you could get half of the population voting to see Axel hanged in the Tower of London, or Mandelson for being a paedo cunt. You could probably charge for the privilege to see it. Make it like one of those medieval joust evenings. Fancy dress and all.

I think you're projecting. Traitors don't normally get to decide where they are banished to. They are normally escorted outside of the country's borders, they don't normally dictate a destination - I guess what I meant is the government doesn't act as a travel agent. If you look throughout history traitors were normally killed. This was usually during a period of war.

Whether we are currently at war is down to individual interpretation. I'd argue war is probably less transparent than it used to be as it is fought on a seemingly more micro level. How many acts of terrorism need to be consecutively committed by one group before it is accepted that they are at least at war through smaller associated cells by proxy ? Are those that support these cells then considered traitors ?
To be considered to be supporting a cell is it sufficient to be chanting a slogan in a protest or do you have to be actively part of the preparation of the incident ?

I would have thought you have to be part of the preparation. The shame is that I'm not convinced a lot of the useful idiots walking through London that are British born really understand the meaning behind what they are chanting for, they are by the definition, dullards manipulated by those with a far more insidious agenda.

I refer you back a few days when the Guardian admitted we're at that stage.

Even the Guardian is now admitting Iran is arranging for attacks across the Western world.

"Suspicious Bag' found at a Peter Kay gig in Birmingham, everyone has been evacuated. A 19 year old man is in custody and the show is NOT continuing. Yikes, hoping its a false alarm. Original article as archive isn't loading yet.

Police said a 19-year-man is in custody and the area is currently being searched as a precaution.

The Utilita Arena Birmingham, where the comedian was performing, has been evacuated.

Birmingham Police wrote on X: "We are carrying out an evacuation at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham after a potential suspicious bag was found.

"A 19-year-old man is in custody and as a precaution the site is currently subject of a search. We will provide further updates when we can."

The comedian left the stage 45 minutes into his show, according to reports.

A user on X wrote: "At Peter Kay at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham. He's just been dragged off stage abruptly and we've all been hurried out."

Another wrote: "That's weird 45 mins into the show, Peter Kay got rushed off stage and we've been told to leave the arena."

A third said: "Just been to see Peter Kay in Birmingham, after 45 minutes we were told to leave and show has been cancelled."

Kay was due to perform at the Birmingham venue tonight and Saturday night.

That faggot Banksy erected another big ass statue in London, totally slipping past the authorities and avoiding CCV all around the extremely open public space. Very rebellious.

The revolutionary, counter-cultural and definately not-establishment-approved message behind this latest daring artpiece?

"Patriotism... le bad"


and get this, the police have erected barricades around the statue to prevent... vandalism.

I’ve always been pretty ambivalent about the death penalty, but there is no reason whatsoever for him to still be alive. Other than that faggot grandfather of one of the victims desiring it perhaps.

I’m not projecting, you seemed to insinuate that traitors (as we see them) should end up in the morgue. My mistake.

I’d say that the West is absolutely at war and has been for some time. The aggressors are both internal and external, they aim for subversion, destabilisation and demographic wipeout, and it’s working.

The number of white vs non-white people under the age of forty is grim reading, and they’re only the ‘official’ figures. Given that the latter have and are having more children than the former, it’s only heading one way.

Anyone who has worked for NGO’s like the Open Society Foundation, Hope Not Hate, BLM UK, the ‘Catholic’/‘Christian charities that fund migrant causes and do ‘outreach’ work in all these shithole countries, bringing them to the UK, getting them on the benefits pipeline, teaching them how to game the system, how to lie, how to appeal. The Muslim groups that do the same. The lawyers that help them. All the civil servants, former politicians, councilors, that have aided and abetted this or knowingly turned a blind eye to the insanity that’s happening and has been happening for decades. They’re all traitors. There’s a lot of them, a hell of a lot, and many are powerful and will fight tooth and nail to evade accountability or justice, but it can be done. There’ll be plenty lower down the ladder who may try to plead ignorance or who hold ‘true believer’ status, but let’s start with the many at the top that can’t and don’t eh.

Boomer white women that hold a Palestine flag in town… they don’t qualify. As you rightly say, they’re just useful idiots.

He’s a fat, old, wigger champagne socialist called Robin Gunningham, who changed his name to David Jones.

Absolutely establishment approved, absolutely a traitor as defined above. The fact that no border control or anyone else has stopped that gay little migrant boat he funds is shameful.

Wow really impressive how Banksy managed to get a huge bronze statue that must weight literal tons somehow installed without anyone noticing! And of course this act of rebelious thumbing his nose at the powers that be resulted in... police showing up to protect the rebelious art from the public and local politicians all applauding and approving it.

This is the most cringe false grassroots thing imaginable. Does anyone really still believe Banksy is a rebel in ANY sense of the word? Like, anyone at all?

Absolutely they do. I haven’t looked myself but have a gander at wherever this has been posted on Reddit or referenced on Bluesky or written about with a tone of reverence in any mainstream media source.

Most people are fucking idiots. They see things on absolute surface level through eyes that corporations and advertising have given them. They’re told Banksy is a rebel™ and just react with ‘yay, rebel™ do rebel™ thing, flag people bad’ and sleepwalk on.

You vastly underestimate how retarded people are.

I mean I just saw a post of someone calling null a mass murderer and doubling down on the idea that yea if you run a website and someone on the website is mean to someone and that person kills themselves then you are literally a murderer.

We're incredibly icky about the concept of hanging severely mentally ill people, despite the knowledge that while not all significantly mentally ill people are mass murderers... the bulk of mass murderers tend to be significantly mentally ill.

Even in the US they go full spacker about "B-b-b-but this guy has a mental age of 6, we can't kill him" despite him raping and killing at least three people.

Realistically every single person deserving of a whole life hospital order should be in a box 20 minutes after the closure of their trial. Otherwise we're spending an unfathomable amount of money keeping a seriously fucked in the head person alive who would kill again if given access to even a butter knife.

There's a picture going around twitter rn comparing ABGs (American Asian women) with Asian women. The different jawlines come because English requires more muscles in the face, thus the jawline and overall face changes; the same is likely true for Africans vs African-Americans.

Goddamn double posting, sorry.

Can we give the sanctimonious shit the Premier League and the FA ram down our throats the red card instead? Football fan humour is some of the funniest out there, it often picks specifically on differences or perceived weaknesses, and it’s almost never meant seriously. Given that 80% of the top flight teams are full of foreigners, can we show them the red card instead and bring back the three foreigner rule? Good footballers are welcome to be good in their home countries. There have to be some foreign leagues that’d kill to be able to keep home-grown players.

There’s probably two football fans in that entire class, too.
