I wonder if the UKIP MEPs will take their pensions despite their fierce opposition to all things European.

Now let me think about it........ yes!!!

Of course they will! And quite right too. Richly deserved for their part in liberating the country from the evil tyranny of the federalist, nay totalitarian EU.

Yes, they served their country, stood tall and showed their backs to the enemy:

No, they did not serve their country. They ruined it.
Bunch of hypocrites

Mr. Martin should be referred to the prime minister, who did issue a very clear statement to people like him. I believe it only consisted of two words: F*** B*******.

Rather ungrateful of Boris, considering it's the B******* that funds his Party.

Possible Brexit bonus noted on this morning's 'Today' interview with a veg grower. Lack of cheap labour for veg growers means they will concentrate on Class 1 quality with the limited picking teams.
The downside ? - Veg will become more expensive ... swings and roundabouts ? The equation somewhat complicated by the desperate lack of HGV delivery drivers .
Hey Ho! ... nobody said it woukld be easy - or did they ?.. :ugh:

The 9th July episode of RTÉ’s Brexit Republic podcast is worth a listen on this very issue.

From 36:30 there’s background and an interview with Ireland’s member of the European Court of Auditors detailing how the figure is arrived at.

New Zealand saying that they will trade with the UK as long as we honour the Withdrawal Agreement and the NI protocol. Looks like we have a Bolsonoro sized hiccup with the sovereignty issue.

Yay, "taking back control" 🙄

Thus defining "getting Brexit done ! "

In this context 'quality' = looks nice. So more expensive, better looking, uniform sized fruit and veg.

I buy the Morrisons wobbly variant. They seem to work ok.

E M - from what the grower chap was complaining about, if you want 'wobblies', you will have to pick your own ! :{

My tongue must be deficient. It can’t taste shapes. That said, it appreciates a square meal.

Supermarkets want uniform size and perfect appearance, anything else is 'wobbly' or goes for processing or the wholesale market.

Wobbly veges, as well as teaching you geometry can be of great help in educating your children... I remember, centuries ago, when my wife and I seized the opportunity to explain boys and girls to our son and how to "make" babies at the kitchen table where a few "oddly shaped" carots (you know the ones that are growing two or three roots by growing above a stone?) were being sacrificed for the dinner stew... We have always been Naturists so he already knew the differences and seen thousands of naked people but the wobblies were a funny way to explain the "facts" without being too direct. That probably explains why he is now a "fanatic" Vegan....

The majority of UK supermarkets now sell misshapen veg and fruit alongside their "standard" range.
Just finished a bowl of Aldi "wonky " strawberries with ice cream. No difference jn flavour, but half the price of the "perfect" ones.

What is "currenty" ?

Effluent Man; do you have a link for that statement about NZ?

The sheep farmers might be a tad unhappy if the NZ Government decide to block meat exports to the UK....

Overall NZ Exports to UK are £980million annually and lamb exports to the UK make up £96million of that...
