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.

What are those purple uniforms?

What are those purple uniforms?

Seem like they're for the Public Protection Team in Harrow, London.

Looking more into the subject they may be from the Kingdom Local Authority company, if this old video from the Harrow Council is anything to go by.

Not sure if this has been provided in the thread. Someone please save me from my retardation and archive it if not.

This speech was made as woke satire in 2001. Where they pretended a nativist UK terrorist group existed out of irrational racist extremism. What would become the woke progressives as we know them produced it. It sounds better everyday.

It's from a show called NCS: Manhunt from around 2001-2002 by the BBC, had 1 series that I archived on archive.org if you're interested, episode 4 is where that line is said by the true pqtriot character called Laurence Bright. Not a particularly great series IMO but I suppose disappointment is what you get with a show written by a bunch of snobbish homosexuals who go to London.

 

[Carpe Jugulum]

what is the mood in the uk? are normies talking about NI or is it not in public consciousness?

My normie friend has gone from a bit of a lefty to a raging racist. Other people who have never been known to say a bad thing about our imports are starting to casually mention it.

There’s not been as much media coverage of the protests as there was at the start (I don’t watch tv so no idea there). Kinda thinking they’re deliberately underreporting on it.

I have TOR ready but they’re going to use this an excuse to clamp down even further. Bunch of utter cunts that they are.

It really is going to be a completely different world once those goddamned fucking boomers gracelessly expire, clawing every penny of wealth, personal or institutional or otherwise they can get their claws on in order to extend their lives and hedonism just one more fucking day. Everyone will be broke but we'll be too busy in the race war and expelling the Islamists, Marxists, and others to care about being poor.

Banning black clothing, meeting in groups of more than two, and being outside after 7pm very soon.

Won't somebody think about the Goths??

 

[Vesperus]

Something tells me the second the right starts using the tactic it will become one of the most evil things ever done by man , and they'll become very interested in denormalizing the wearing of all black and masks really, really quickly.

I think the Irish were doing it long before faggots in Portland, and will not be overly bothered.

Boomers are one of the winners of unlimited immigration as they already have their workplace and hones so they get the benefit of higher estate worth and lower costs of employing others. At least they sometimes get their just desserts when the brown nurses caring for them decide to choke them with a pillow.

Throw boomers in gas chambers to save the west groyper

Saw a video of police in Brighton wrestling scaffolding poles off the pro-pally/pro-migration lot. Another video from the left wing protest of a (Middle eastern looking) man telling police "remember, if anyone says theyve been stabbed, don't handcuff them, mate!"; the policemen moved towards him but stopped once they realised they were being filmed and laughed.
Nearly all glasgow protestors all turned up in black.

Cheese sperg; you need to get Alan Gray's Yarg cheese. Wrapped in nettle leaves or wild garlic. Accidentally got an autistic guy with some kind of eating problem (only eats the same meal every day) hooked on it and now I have to phone my cheese contact for kilos like im charlie sheen

Antifa and BAMN and the rest of the lefty domestic terror cells in the west thought black bloc was oh so cool. They tried to normalize it in the media, in the zeitgeist. "Protest is the language of the unheard! Trump is a fascist and would punish them for their free speech of destroying property and firebombing stuff! They have to do that so they can unarrest their coworkers and prevent targeted harassment by chuds!"

There's been an issue for quite some time now with gangs of youths wearing all black and balaclavas, unrelated to any form of protest. To the point that the police seem to be seeing a group of young men in balaclavas as "people wearing a fashion trend" instead of "automatically suspicious".
I do think the existence of niqabs has probably stopped governments making face coverings illegal, because a blanket ban would piss off the Muslim community, and "no face coverings besides niqabs" would instantly result in Two Tier Keir headlines.

I have TOR ready but they’re going to use this an excuse to clamp down even further. Bunch of utter cunts that they are.

Tor Browser is portable, which is really handy because you can keep copies on USB sticks and use on any device. You can also get Tor on android phones - for now - from the app store, but there's also an apk download available from their website. There's no official Tor Browser on iPhones because Apple requires browsers to use "WebKit" (Safari) but there is something called Onion Browser which Tor seems to endorse.
Mullvad VPN also works across platforms and you can have up to 5 devices on one account, it's only like a fiver a month. You can link your card, but you can also buy vouchers on Amazon, or if you're particularly privacy minded they will accept cash payments via post.

It'll only be when the job market has collapsed leading up to the "Great Reset" that people will take to the streets, since they have nothing to lose. The average member of the public is sedated by constant bread and circus distractions to truly care.

Instead, the people will glady give their rights to free speech and anonymity online, their right to not be injected with a experimental vaccine and trade dangerous sovereignty for "safety".

Football is coming home and voting will totally work this time tho right guys!!!!

 

[TJT]

Doesn't seem like that's all that far off. Y'all are excluded from the housing market just as much as the young generation in the US. All because of Line Go Up and Home Equity politics just like the US suffers from.

Rent a shit flat from deluded Boomers. Work in an environment where migrants get every advantage and get taxed obscenely if you ever make more than $100k anyway.

What a great future to look forward to!

 

[Tony Martin's Force Ghost]

Yeah, I am starting to use TOR more and more. Funnily enough, one of the last lines of defence regarding VPNs was Healey and all of his group are gone. Healey understood that the military and cybersecurity live on VPNs, but also County Council staff. The number of times the NHS is attacked is mind-blowing, and Starmer is giving bad actors the keys. We are about to be fucking crippled.

As someone who has worked in the industry, he has set UK standards back decades. Our country has the same security as a country in the early 2000s on the internet because it has stripped everything away. My boss is a "liberal," but the stuff they have been saying the past couple of weeks has really shown me how much the businesses hate Starmer. I heard someone call Reeves a "dozey bitch." In front of the boss and management, the company is on a government tender.

How the fuck can companies come to the UK and operate a business with no internet security?

 

[Foley]

The seething online from russians, pajeets and niggers regarding the British takeover of a Russian tanker amuses me

"SAAAR, DON'T BOARD THE TANKER SAAR"

Something good done by the UK government for a change

Yes I used this during #dropkiwifarms. I’m also a VPN user, I use Linux on desktop but enjoy filthy phone posting in bed.

I’m just a bit doomery about the whole thing and am probably going to go back to a dumb phone. Actively trying to learn how people in other countries circumvent stuff too. The more you know…

no? is that a joke? they're about to guillotine your internet connections bro

Thousands attended. I'm hearing reports that at least 5 of them were actually local to Belfast instead of being shipped in. Truly ground breaking scenes.

Won't somebody think about the Goths??

I don't want to think about any goths right now. I don't want to think about being let down and having my hopes crushed while Belfast is burning.

 

[Tom Nook's Gloryhole]

I don't understand why anyone would phonepost at all given the circumstances, both Google AND Apple (basically the entire market) have implemented ID checking based on government requirements and the government has already mentioned that phone companies have the ability to monitor real time activity, they just need to turn it on. Tor on your phone isn't going to help you if the entire fucking PHONE is going to give you away.

Post from behind a PC or fuck off.
