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.

Kashmir is free though:

Our nukes are one of the very few strategic industries every government since the 60s has understood the necessity to maintain, regardless of the cost. Christ.

I thought the Hair Bear Bunch wasn’t on air anymore! Joy!

Edit: are they just all trannies, gender weirdos and free the browns/whales/abbos/nipples/insert your choice here? Poor Corbyn must be right frustrated. No politics getting done with all that superfluous bullshit around.

Pool's closed due to Jezza.

Also, even if change happens, @Chunky Salsa doesn't have to write the Warwick Davis thread as the agreement was that I thought there would be a GE this year.

Apparently, Starmer did threaten his own MP's with 'a trip to the Palace' on more than one occasion in 2025, which shows that he doesn't trust them (can't fault him for that) and he isn't really in control whilst Morgan McSweeney runs 'the project' and Burnham, Rayner, Streeting and maybe even Sargon's favourite are considering their own run for power.

I still believe that we will be going to the polls long before 2029, this Government is going to gut itself like the proverbial Christmas Turkey and there's already signs that the Reeves budget is going to have to be drastically changed before it can pass.

Reeves won't go unless Starmer does, just how long they've got left is anybody's guess.

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.

Doubt it mate. Half the brits are self hating left wing faggots like owen jones who think we deserve to be wiped out. The other half are lazy, apathetic cowards who dont care how bad things get as long as they can still sit on the sofa, chug carling and wank off to overpaid niggers F.C

A good amount of under 35s are now mass quitting the UK, therefore whilst a good amount of them may be insufferable even they can see the writing on the wall.

The lazy tossers and the apathetic will have to go under Nigel - they can have the choice of pissing off elsewhere or actually making something of their existences.

The Free Palestine numpties are all suddenly deeply concerned about Congo and Sudan. In fact they couldn't give a toss about either, or locate them on a map. It's just deniability because when the only world conflict you care about is the one that concerns the world's only Jewish state, you can't scream anti-Semitism-isn't-the-same-as-anti-Zionism forever and be believed.

Personally I would like any party that manages to beat the two main parties to make history and change the voting system to something that works better to give the finger to Labour and the Tories but I don't see Reform actually sticking with their manifesto pledge to actually change it properly once they replace one of the parties as the new standard.

They'll probably need a referendum to do away with FPTP. The LibDems sold out to the Tories to get one but it was torn apart by all other major parties.
I wish the UK would adopt the Australian system, stable, but allows new parties to emerge without vote wasting.

"Free Kashmir" pisses off Indians, which isn't necessarily bad.

Britain should adopt the NZ system, where some parliamentary seats are reserved for the natives....

...Before it's too late.

I wish I could rate your post "Winner", "Agree", "Lol" and "Horrifying" all at once.

As an aside, I seem to remember the British Parliament officially declared Great Britain has no indigenous/native people, but I can't seem to find it. The closest I got was this Guardian idiocy.
