brexit democratic bananas....

The British government will ditch an “absurd” EU rule on the sale of abnormally curved bananas, Environment Secretary Therese Coffey announced during a Conservative Party conference on Monday. 

Speaking at the Tories’ annual get-together in Manchester, Coffey declared that “bent or straight, it’s not for the government to decide the shape of bananas you want to eat.” 

EU Regulation 1333/2011 dictates that bananas sold in the union must be free from “abnormal curvature of the fingers,” unless they come from designated areas of Cyprus, Greece, or Portugal. Prior to the 2016 Brexit referendum, the rule was cited by pro-Brexit politicians and pundits as an example of overreach by “bonkers Brussels bureaucrats.”

Other such examples include an 1,800-word directive on marketing standards for headed cabbages, and a ruling forbidding manufacturers of bottled water from claiming that their product relieves dehydration.

 

Despite widespread mockery of the ‘bendy bananas’ rule, it remains on the UK’s law books almost four years after Britain formally left the EU. It was set to be dropped along with all remaining EU law by the end of the year, until the government reversed course in May and said that it would instead evaluate residual EU laws one by one.

More than 4,000 such laws remained on the books as of May, and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was criticized by Brexiteers for opting to scrap only 800 at the time. The majority of the 4,000 laws related to the environment, meaning that Coffey is now responsible for which ones are scrapped and which are kept.

She did not state whether every EU law under her purview would be dropped but said on Monday that she would also take aim at “green zealots who think our farmers should stop rearing livestock and instead we should eat fake meat,” and would remove restrictions on genetically modified crops.

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE NOW....

said morons....

MEANWHILE THE SAID MORONS WHO WANT THE BANANAS TO BE FREE TO BEND AS THEY PLEASE, ARE PESTERING  AN ACTIVIST FOR WANTING TO STOP EMISSION CAMERAS FROM RECORDING THE BELCH IN THE LONDON ULEZ AREA... THESE ARE FROM THE SAME GOVERNMENT MORONIC CLUB WHO SEND BILLIONS OF POUNDS OF GLOBAL WARMING EXPLOSIVES TO UKRAINE...

 

Actor turned right-wing political activist Laurence Fox was arrested in London on Wednesday on “suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras,” and has been fired from GB News over his comments about journalist Ava Evans. 

On Wednesday morning, Fox’s Reclaim Party posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, claiming that the police were searching the “Lewis” star’s house. Though Fox was not named, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement to Variety: “On Wednesday 4 October, officers arrested a 45-year-old man on suspicion of conspiring to commit criminal damage to ULEZ cameras and encouraging or assisting offences to be committed. He was arrested in Stockwell and has been taken to a South London police station where he remains in custody.” The Reclaim Party also posted on X that Fox had been arrested.

London charges a daily fee for driving in what is known as the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) if a car does not meet the emission standards set out by the city. Fox, who ran for mayor of London in 2021, seemed to encourage vandalism of the cameras in an interview on the video platform Rumble on Tuesday. “I encourage them to tear down every single camera there is and I will be joining them,” Fox said during the broadcast. 

Later on Wednesday, GB News announced that Fox had also been fired from his position as a presenter over misogynistic comments he made about Evans. “Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson were both suspended last week pending internal investigations that have now concluded,” GB News said in a post on X. “As of today, GB News has ended its employment relationship with Laurence Fox and Calvin Robinson.”

While appearing on Dan Wootton’s show, Fox asked what “self-respecting man” would “climb into bed” with Evans, according to the BBC. This led to more than 8,000 complaints and an investigation from communications regulator Ofcom, the BBC reported. Robinson voiced his support for Fox, who said in an apology video last week that “GB News had one opportunity and that opportunity was to stand up and defend free speech, which they haven’t done. So I think now as they brand themselves the home of free speech, they’re actually the home of cancel culture.” An investigation into Wootton, who was also suspended, is still ongoing.
