You do know that the request for classification and gratings of things such as Banana's was made to the EU from member states and specifically from the retail industry within each of those member states. It's done so that retailers know what they're ordering.

If the EU have banned all this kind of thing, why can you buy 'wonky' fruit and veg from retailers such as Morrisons/Aldi & Lidl. Unless of course you're suggesting that these three are breaking the law of course ?


How would you feel if you went to a petrol station to purchase premium petrol or diesel to find out that instead of getting 98 or 99 RON you instead got 95 or E85+10 ?

That's different, because that would affect performance. Frankly, I don't care what shape my banana is, as long as it tastes good.

Yes, Grieve wasn't one of the Conservatives' best performers. About time they replaced him as he does seem to have lost the plot.

Obviously quite an intelligent electorate, then.

Brexit is a divisive issue for all parties, frankly.

If you really think that Labour are in a better position than the Conservatives on the Brexit question, you are not paying attention.

Dominic Grieve, I'm afraid, is one of those MPs who has disrupted the process to the extent that it has caused the degree of public dissatisfaction with the way in which our road to Brexit has been blocked.

I have absolutely no sympathy with him. Call himself a democrat? Pull the other one. The nation voted to LEAVE.

Let's jolly well leave, then. And if they won't agree to leaving with a deal, then let's leave with a no deal. It's not really rocket science.

Tbh I've got respect for a politician that doesn't care about their re-election chances, and just does what they think to be right. Not many of them about.

He’s not right though- destroying democracy is nothing to be proud of. And We will be far better out of a corrupt and failing union. Anti-EU sentiment is on rise because people are finally realising just how much of a dictatorship it has become. Still see that Guy Verhofstadt, standing in the EU parliament, insisting Member States surrender their sovereignty and hand it all over to the EU.

Voters have just told the two main Brexit-supporting parties where to sling their hooks! Instead, they wisely gave a solidly pro-EU party a staggering extra 700 seats!
Poll after poll shows public support increasing to remain in the world's largest and most successful trading bloc. Fortunately, we're still in it.

Guido Fawkes is finding that the LDs are doing well where they have historically been strong, have a well organised local operation and, in many cases, have totally avoided talking about Brexit or Vince Cable on the doorstep.
