So nobody should campaign for anything or they might risk changing your mind? It's going to make elections interesting....

It is the way pressure is applied. It cannot be denied that in elections the Liberals and the Left attack anything and everyone that doesn't agree with them. You are not allowed to have certain opinions or even to highlight facts that go against their agendas. Pick any topic and it only the Liberal/Left viewpoint that is allowed to proceed.

His comments were in the context of the Treasury and any special treatment. It wasn't a case of objecting to the whole sector in every way.

Yes - but always at the back of his mind ....

The same could be said of the right. Look at the way the overwhelmingly right wing media in this country go full out to demonise anyone who is Labour leader.

So is it your view that we should just roll over and accept it? I certainly don't.

That is ridiculous. You need to justify what you mean by "right wing". Does it go as far as fascism? Is the right wing anti-democratic and if so how? And which media outlets are included in your broad brush?
Demonising Corbyn is perfectly justified because of his support for terrorist causes.
Miliband wasn't demonised; he was ridiculed for obvious reasons.
So what you've written is ill thought out garbage.

They cannot insist. We will not be in the EU from next year and we won't be accepting their nonsense in return for a trade deal.

Vegans are a militant bunch with extreme views, and both they and the vegetarians are in the minority. They have no right to tell the rest of us what to eat.

Generalising again OB? Some quietly just do their own thing. What's it to you, what others eat ? The numbers are increasing all the time for a variety of reasons.

Some are, who are the ones that get noticed - that’s like saying all right-wingers are like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (AKA "Tommy"); I am sure you would not like to be labelled as the same as ”Tommy Robinson"...

I don't care at all about what they eat. It's a free country. They are the ones protesting about meat eaters, even going to the lengths of barging into restaurants to complain.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Topic? I know it's hard not to digress but vegan/meat eating aren't really the issue we are discussing.

Re: [Updated] The UK’s future relationship with the EU
Well, the French won’t be going vegan for sure. This fishing stuff is deadly serious. One of their ministers was bleating about how much they have invesed in their boats, so we must let them continue fishing in our waters. Surely they could fosh on the redistribution that would occur - perhaps but for the infighting that would occur.
Fishing may be a tiny portion of our economy but the totem is to resist being pushed around by the EU.
