Re: Britain outside the EU
Do they even grow peppercorns in 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.

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.

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

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.

Re: Britain outside the EU
Some good news:
Quote:
France backed down in fishing row after Jersey offer ‘to move things forward’
Exclusive: Paris shelved plans to ban UK boats from French ports following last-ditch talks
France backed down on its threats to clog up British trade and ban UK fishers from its ports after Jersey offered to speed up approval for “five or six” new fishing vessels in its waters.
Ian Gorst, Jersey’s minister for external affairs, said the offer from his administration, which was mirrored by the UK government over an undisclosed number of boats, had proven to be a “good way to move things forward”.

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

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.

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.

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

Re: Britain outside the EU
I'm curious as to which court would have been involved with the UK's threatened legal action - which may yet happen.
