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.
 
I recall (but cannot find any evidence of) a case of someone at least threatened with arrest for reading verses from the koran in public while being insufficiently brown. Sharing the god-written truth of islam to the masses is inherently islamophobic, because it makes them fear and despise islam.
I think Channel 4 journalists were threatened with that as they were going to broadcast and undercover investigation of Nick Griffin reading from the Koran or something bizarre link that.
 
Since Henry VIII, the King of England has also been head of the Church of England. Yet King Charles seems more supportive of Islam, which has been aggressively supplanting English civilization with the assistance of the treasonous government.

Charles has studied Arabic to better understand the Koran. Some even claim he converted to Islam.

Here he is recently at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies, where his services on behalf of Islam are so appreciated that they named a wing after him:

“The centre’s ongoing commitment to objective scholarship and international co-operation, underpinned by principles of dialogue, deep understanding and mutual respect, is more imperative than ever in today’s world.

“I need hardly say I am extremely heartened that the centre continues to play such a significant role in that globally critical endeavour.”

The expansion of numbers of Paki inbreds at the expense of normal people elsewhere is a global endeavor, all right.

The Islamic center’s 40th anniversary was a gala event:
Invited guests and supporters included … former attorney general Dominic Grieve, who is currently a trustee and leading a government commission on the definition of Islamophobia.

Snuffing out “Islamophobia” (i.e., resistance to Fifth World golems) is also a global endeavor.
 
A man has been found guilty of double murder after killing two men and dumping their remains in suitcases on Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge.

Yostin Mosquera, 35, murdered Paul Longworth, 71, and Albert Alfonso, 62, while staying at their flat in Shepherd's Bush, London, on 8 July 2024.

Mosquera "decapitated and dismembered" the pair, froze parts of their remains and brought the rest in suitcases to Bristol.

The judge, Mr Justice Bennathan, told the jurors at Woolwich Crown Court they had witnessed "terrible, brutal events" in footage shown to them during the trial. He ordered a psychiatric report for Mosquera and set a sentencing date of 24 October.

Yostin Mosquera brutally attacked Albert Alfonso (C) and Paul Longworth (R)
It took the jury just over five hours to return the two guilty verdicts.

Mr Alfonso enjoyed "extreme sex" and Mosquera, a Colombian national whom he had first spoken to online in 2012, was part of that world, jurors were told.

The Colombian met the two men when he travelled to London to visit them in 2023, in the same year Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth became civil partners.

Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth later split up but remained close friends.

When Mosquera was invited to London for a second time, he stabbed Mr Alfonso to death during a filmed sex session.
Footage shown in court showed Mosquera singing and dancing in the aftermath of the attack.

He had killed Mr Longworth with a hammer earlier the same day, shattering his skull, and hid the body in a divan bed in the apartment.

Mosquera made a plan to dispose of the remains after the "calculated" and "premeditated" killings by throwing the suitcases off Clifton Suspension Bridge, the prosecution said.

But he was said to have misjudged his own strength, instead dumping the suitcases on the bridge.

Mosquera admitted killing Mr Alfonso but had claimed it was manslaughter by reason of loss of control.

He had pleaded not guilty to murdering both men and claimed Mr Alfonso had killed Mr Longworth.

Mosquera said he feared for his life and thought he was going to be killed himself when he stabbed Mr Alfonso.

He also claimed threats had been made to his family in Colombia.

After the verdict was returned earlier, the judge told him: "I am not going to pass sentence on you today although the only one I can pass on you is one of life imprisonment.

"I am going to order a psychiatric report on you. It is in your interests to cooperate with the psychiatrist so that I can decide the minimum term you are going to serve."

Paul Longworth (L) and Albert Alfonso became civil partners in 2023 but later split up
Speaking to the jurors, Mr Justice Bennathan said: "We put serious demands on jurors, in this case more than most.

"It went on much longer than the two weeks you were expecting. In this case you have had to look at a very tough video.

"They were terrible, brutal events and to read about it is a dreadful thing, but to see it is really shocking.

"If you do want to seek help then speak to the court staff – above all, thank you."

Det Ch Insp Ollie Stride, from the Metropolitan Police, said Mr Alfonso and Mr Longworth "were best friends".

"This has been one of the most harrowing murders my team have ever investigated, a case that will stay with many of us for a long time," he said.

"Paul and Albert were murdered in the most brutal and callous of ways in their own home.

"The investigation has been complex and intense and we worked tirelessly to build a catalogue of evidence which would ensure we brought Mosquera to justice.

"Our thoughts and prayers remain with Paul and Albert's family and loved ones and all who knew them, as they continue to process the trauma of what happened."
Charming.

In other news enjoy a shrieking Guardian US writer admitting our freedom of speech is worse than theirs, a point she almost gives herself a seizure admitting.
Hello from the US where, if you’re a fan of things such as civil liberties and not getting shot in the leg by masked thugs sporting law enforcement badges, the situation is somewhat suboptimal. Over in Los Angeles, national guard troops have been brought in to rough up protesters who are demonstrating against immigration raids. There were at least 27 attacks on journalists by law enforcement recorded at the protests between 6 and 8 June, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
One of the most alarming things about the crackdown against protesters in LA is the memo greenlighting it. It acts pre-emptively, a first in the US, authorising the military to be deployed in locations where protests are “likely to occur”. Scarier still, Donald Trump has said he won’t rule out invoking the Insurrection Act: an 1807 law that empowers the president to deploy the military inside the US and use it against Americans. All this, of course, comes amid a wider crackdown on campus protests and free speech (particularly pro-Palestine speech).


As a British-Palestinian in the US – one with a green card that I’m in the process of trying to renew – I’ve been spending a lot of time lately wondering whether I ought to self-deport before the thought police come for me. I have, after all, engaged in naughty behaviour such as publicly stating that genocide is bad, actually.
But fleeing to the UK from the US because I value free speech and the right to protest doesn’t make much sense. The US may be turning into a police state, but its constitution (for now) provides far more freedom of speech than there is in the UK. I hate to say this – like, I really, really hate to say this – but JD Vance had a point when he told Keir Starmer that Britain has a free speech problem during an Oval Office meeting in February. Vance made a similar accusation during the Munich Security Conference, accusing Europe’s leaders of (among other things) censorship.
Vance is obviously a raging hypocrite who mainly seems obsessed with the right of religious extremists to harass women having abortions, but he is not wrong about Britain’s free speech problem. Vague and outdated laws mean the police in Britain have far too much power to arrest people for offensive internet speech. Per the Economist, “British police arrest more than 30 people a day for online posts, double the rate in 2017.”
The right to protest is also under attack in Britain. Look at the crime and policing bill, which looks likely to come into law later this year and is one of a number of sweeping anti-protest laws recently passed. “Thanks to this authoritarian legislation, police can define almost any demonstration as ‘seriously disruptive’ and impose restrictions on it,” Amnesty International UK warned in March. “Peaceful tactics … have been criminalised. New powers have been created to issue orders banning people from even attending protests.”
And look at the case of William Plastow, who is accused of taking part in a Palestine Action protest against an Elbit Systems (an Israeli arms manufacturer) factory near Bristol last year. Plastow faces 21 months in jail before his case goes to trial. His mother recently told the Guardian she believes it is the longest anyone will have been held in jail awaiting trial on protest-related charges. There’s also the case of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who was charged with a terrorism offence for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in London. Kneecap have described this as “political policing” that is intended to stifle criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza.
While the Economist has acknowledged that Vance is right about the precarity of free speech in Britain and Europe, many liberal voices seem reluctant to acknowledge it. The alarmed takes I’ve seen about the US this week from European writers have been valid, but there also needs to be urgent consideration of threats to civil liberties closer to home.
Anyway, having to acknowledge that I agree with Vance on anything has been a major shock to my system. Time to self-deport to the sofa to recover.
Typical Albanian in the UK who human rights courts will say is entitled to live his best life.
An Albanian convicted burglar who cannot be deported taunted the Home Office with a personalised number plate on his £80,000 Mercedes.
Dorian Puka, 28, who has been jailed and deported twice from the UK for burglaries, filmed himself peeling the cover off his new registration plate: DO24 AMG, reflecting his name and high-end marque of the Mercedes.
He then posted a video of himself on Tik Tok driving through London onto the M25 towards the intersection with the M40 to Oxford.
It is his latest defiant mockery of Home Office officials who are powerless to deport him because he has claimed asylum. He cannot be removed until his case is fully considered – a process that could take months or years, given the backlog of immigration tribunal appeals.

He was originally jailed for nine months in 2016 and then deported the following year for attempting to break into a property when the owner spotted him on a webcam while on holiday in France.

Yet, within a year, he managed to evade border controls and return to the UK where he carried out a string of burglaries in London.
Puka was eventually caught wearing an expensive watch he had stolen when he was spotted by plain clothes officers patrolling Surbiton in south west London. He was jailed for three-and-a-half years and then deported in March 2020.

During his time in prison in the UK, he earned notoriety for using an illegal mobile phone smuggled into the jail to post Instagram pictures of himself standing alongside the leader of an organised crime group who was serving a 12-year sentence for conspiracy to supply cocaine and money laundering.
After returning to his native Albania for several months, he travelled through Germany, Belgium and Netherlands before beating border checks to enter Britain again in December 2020, according to his Instagram account.
It is understood he has lodged an asylum application and has been on immigration bail and subject to an electronic tag since last year, awaiting an immigration tribunal to decide on his claim.

In December, he posted happy new year messages from a London nightclub alongside a picture of himself celebrating while smoking a shisha pipe next to a belly dancer.
Three months earlier, he posted a series of videos of himself driving a £300,000 Ferrari in London on his TikTok and Instagram accounts, as well as images of himself with dozens of Rolex watches and other expensive cars.

Puka also taunted Nigel Farage by posting a picture of himself eating and drinking with a Photoshopped image of the Reform party leader giving a thumbs-up.
Mr Farage had described him as a “proper wrong ’un” who was “walking all over” the UK authorities.
The Albanian’s sources of funding remain unknown, but reports suggest he has been staying in a £250,000 two-bed terraced flat in Hounslow, west London.
A Home Office spokesman said: “Foreign nationals who commit crimes should be in no doubt that the law will be enforced. Mr Puka has been deported by the UK before. It is UK law that we cannot deport individuals where there are claims or representations still awaiting decision.

“We have already begun delivering a major surge in immigration enforcement and returns activity to remove people with no right to be in the UK, with 30,000 returned since the new government came into power.”
The average person screaming "eat the rich."
A “queer dance artist” who attended a £48,000-a-year school was behind a pro-Palestine protest at the Royal Opera House, The Telegraph can reveal.
The audience for Verdi’s opera Il trovatore was stunned on Saturday evening when a member of the cast unfurled a Palestinian flag during the curtain call.
Footage from the incident showed a stage manager trying – and failing – to snatch the flag from the performer, who was still in costume as a demon.
The Telegraph understands that the cast member behind the protest is Daniel Perry, a self-described “queer dance artist”, choreographer, and DJ.
The dancer studied at the Tring Park School for the Performing Arts in Hertfordshire, which charges up to £16,000 per term for boarding.
Alumni include Dame Julie Andrews and Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley.

Perry’s pronouns are “they/them”, according to booking agencies representing the dancer.
The performer recently wore a tank top with the slogan “Free Palestine” to a London performance of Cabaret, a musical set during the Weimar Republic that heavily foreshadows the persecution of the Jews under the Nazi regime.

Perry previously appeared alongside Eddie Redmayne and Jessie Buckley in an earlier run of the same production.
In a social post about the visit, Perry wrote: “In this particular version, we are reminded of how regimental political systems, such as extreme nationalism, and fascism, oppress and eradicate individualism, whilst also segregating people, leaving them voiceless, expressionless and helplessly in control by their oppressors.
“I believe we are currently living in similar times.”
The post added that “Western media” spends more time “debating whether artists should be allowed to express themselves freely at music festivals, than reporting on actual war crimes”.
Perry’s message on Instagram ended with a call for theatres to boycott Coca Cola – a brand that has been targeted by some over supposed links to Israel – and urged his fellow performers to “attend marches” on Saturdays, even if they have to do a show in the evening.
The dancer has been contacted for comment about his stunt.

Perry is understood to have been a freelancer hired by the Royal Opera House, and not an employee of the venue, which boasts King Charles as its patron.

The flag stunt appears to have been timed for the Saturday evening performance, which was the last show in the run of Il trovatore.
The Royal Opera House is supported by the taxpayer through the Arts Council and is strictly politically neutral.
A spokeswoman for the venue in Covent Garden said: “The display of the flag was a spontaneous and unauthorised action by the artist. It was not approved by the Royal Ballet and Opera and is not in line with our commitment to political impartiality.”
Perry recently took part in an event at the V&A East for the arts group Playbody, a group founded by “European migrants and queer creatives” that “centres its practice on the lived experience of non-normative identities”.
Perry expressed his gratitude to the organisers of the event, writing on his DJ Instagram account: “Thank you to my trans siblings for bringing your authentic self into a large institutional space and for showing the public that we are strong, powerful, beautiful creatures that demand respect, love and admiration.”

There have been a number of recent controversies about on-stage support for Palestine, including the Glastonbury set of Bob Vylan, whose lead singer led chants of “death to the IDF” on stage.

And since I didn't have a better place to put this and Judge Dredd was one of the better British creations
Oscar-winner Taika Waititi is set to take on a new Judge Dredd movie.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the writer-director will take the reins of the latest attempt to bring the comic book character to the screen with Drew Pearce set to take on the script.

Pearce’s credits include Iron Man 3, Hobbs & Shaw and The Fall Guy. He has also written the script for a new take on The Thomas Crown Affair led by Michael B Jordan.
Sources tell the Hollywood Reporter that both Waititi and Pearce were childhood fans of the character. In a 2022 interview, Waititi name-checked Judge Dredd as an influence on his Marvel films.
Judge Dredd is a law enforcement officer working in a dystopian society who first appeared in the British publication 2000 AD in the late 70s. In 1995, Sylvester Stallone played him in a film that underperformed at the box office and received negative reviews. The character was brought back in 2012 and played by Karl Urban in the Alex Garland-scripted Dredd which received stronger notices, but was also a commercial disappointment.
The new version is reportedly more faithful to the original comics and will lean into dark humour. The aim is to kick off a new universe that could expand to both the big and small screen.
New Zealand-born Waititi won the Oscar for best original screenplay for his second world war comedy Jojo Rabbit and has also directed two Thor sequels.
His last film, the fact-based football comedy Next Goal Wins, was a critical and financial failure. His next is an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun starring Amy Adams and Jenna Ortega. Last year saw reports that he was looking to team up with Steven Spielberg for an adaptation of Percival Everett’s Pulitzer prize-winning novel James.

Protestants are always up to no good. Starting to think white people are only good when living as a minority (south africa, colonial ventures), perhaps a new islamic caliphate centred on the UK is what we really need after all. I for one will be converting.

Charlie doesn't imagine himself as King of the English or King of the Britons at all. He fancies himself as the "King of the Commonwealth," and in a total break from any kind of historical English/British tradition (with the exception, to be honest, of his own mother who was just as bad) has this idea of himself as being the sort of "King of all Men." It's just an unfortunate side effect of a historical accident that the "center" of his kingdom is in a White country.

Interesting response.
I dont think Charles cares much about past or current UK. I think he wants or foresees something else.
 
Or they’re allowing these protests to happen so they can close down the hotels, say that people demanded it, and go full steam ahead with moving them into every available house in the country at the expense of the actual citizens.

Remember how hard they went after Joey Barton for saying women’s football is shit. They tried to send his to prison for arguing with his wife.

I don’t know why our elites are trying to ram this down our throats.
Joey Barton is a fucking psycho, there are lots of rumours about him having hurt the players in the junior leagues as a trainer. His cousins killed a jamaican boy with an ice pick in the 2000s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Anthony_Walker

I'm in London and the view of the protests before this weekend was that this protest was or had more mothers from the local school and the police were not getting involved to avoid another photo like the sarah everard one. The man getting run over and the other male protesters were talked about like they were basically intruding on a women's peaceful protest. I've seen some photos with of older women with placards to support this. However now that's gone with the arrests yesterday, I still think Tommy Robinson getting involved is the worst thing for optics to the point that it feels like deliberate protest or whatever that's called. It's a really stupid idea but again it's already turned violent so maybe it doesn't matter atp.

Tommy Robinson
Tommeh is a tactical nuke used by the establishment to discredit and enshitify; much like how you might put out an oil fire by setting off an explosion tommeh is what gets dropped on anything vaguely right wing to the purpose of ruining it.
The fact him and his lot are being deployed this hard and this early speaks to the organic nature of the unrest and how badly worried they are about it.
A bunch of mums were out to protest the boatwogs :story: , that's how utterly 🌈 normalized 🌈 "just don't like 'em" is now.
 
King of England
He has pretty much lived in a bubble since birth waiting for his chance to be king and where he gets sent is often decided for him.

So long as his endless supply of free stuff keeps coming and he isn't killed in a revolution he will just potter around doing dumb shit until he dies.

Which I don't think is far off - we're talking a year or two at most.

My hope is that King William V is not King William the Woke.

The royal family have a lot more soft power than you think, remember when Donald Trump and Vance were hating on Starmer and the UK and then changed their tunes when Starmer brought them a personal invitation from the king. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yxxpxe5qko

Plus, Donald Trump is meeting HM King Charles III in September.

He's also apparently hosting Nigel Farage in Scotland this week.

It's a useful fiction alright, foreigners especially really love to buy into the pomp of it all and even some native types too, which is why it works so well.
I'm of the opinion they do exactly what they're told when they're told, they're useful tools, but so far as independent action? Maybe the Queen (the dead one, not the currently alive fake consort one) could have had it in her to wrangle the elected representatives, but Charles? Nah, he does what he's told.

I don't think he's as strong as his mother but I think he can't be a total pushover or he would have been steered away from the interest in Islam before now; he's been into it for at least thirty five years, before the oil wars in the Middle East. He's also been consistent about environmentalism and Camilla.

People give dead lizzie too much credit I think, yeah there's all those anecdotes about what a strong-willed old matriarch she was, but in her many decades of rule what did she actually do? I don't mean "had a strong word with so and so" or "gave a stern look at whatshisface which totally made him change his position", I mean stuff that actually matters that wasn't just in people's heads because it sounds better that way.
Probably going on TV after her ex daughter in law died? That's just basic PR, massively overrated.

As for her son; they're are all little eccentricities in the grand scheme of things, it's nothing especially challenging to the way of doing things which is why it's tolerated or even encouraged. And if anything, it's an advantage for globohomo to have a pro muzzie kang knocking around, fits right in with the general agenda afterall.
Maybe William will rock the boat a bit- nah who am I kidding, he gets bossed badly enough in public around by his wife, he's got no chance in the back against the private secretaries.
