Do they even grow peppercorns in the EU?

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

You can bet if it had said 'non-UK' instead of 'non-EU', that some on social media would have assumed that and still 'cancelled' Morrisons.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Quite possibly.


I respect their right to a view, but gawd some of the FBPE types are sore losers and actually pretty pig ignorant of what others wanted and what more others took a lot of time and effort to achieve - both in the EU and UK camps.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

The labelling was prepared in accordance with EU law, ironically enough. That law, which remains our law until next year, specifies the precise form of words Morrison’s used.

Funny how easily some Remainers are triggered though isn’t it. Almost as if they go round looking for things to get offended by.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Indeed. Tbh, I get offended by them a lot of the time...

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

It will be updated to non-UK next year when the new laws come into effect. It does seem strangely prominent but I'm no label designer and I'm sure Morrison's know what they're doing on that front.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Probably just Morrisons taking the piss out of at least one of the ridiculous rules/laws that exist.

Shame we have to get stroppy to bring common sense into the situation where the EU and it’s countries are concerned.

It would have been obvious from the start that the French fishing vessels were excluded by the UK for a justified reason.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Is it coincidence that the UK and Jersey granted more fishing licences to the French before they changed their tune? Looks like there's been give and take on both sides which is positive.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

My reading of it is that the European Commission is unwilling to back France’s gung-ho strategy, which is based on electioneering rather than treaty provisions. France therefore needed an ‘out’ having gone out on a limb with its threats, and Jersey has given it one by agreeing to expedite about half a dozen cases that have a chunk of admin attached to them but aren’t necessarily controversial in themselves.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

It would be unlawful to issue licences without proof of prior fishing in uk/jersey waters
