A Brussels ban on bendy bananas is one of the EU’s most persistent myths.

Bananas have always been classified by quality and size for international trade. Because the standards, set by individual governments and the industry, were confusing, the European Commission was asked to draw up new rules.

Commission regulation 2257/94 decreed that bananas in general should be “free from malformation or abnormal curvature”. Those sold as “extra class” must be perfect, “class 1” can have “slight defects of shape” and “class 2” can have full-scale “defects of shape”.

Nothing is banned under the regulation, which sets grading rules requested by industry to make sure importers – including UK wholesalers and supermarkets – know exactly what they will be getting when they order a box of bananas.

Just out of curiosity, can you buy class II fruit 'n' veg in the UK?

I can't recall seeing them in the supermarkets on my visits. Not enough profit on them?

I have to admit that I'm less than fussy when it comes to the shape and colour of veg. I used to buy the stuff from the farms and nurseries that they couldn't sell in the market. I was happy if it smelled good and felt good.

Sure can, Morrisons have their own 'wonky fruit' range. Fuck all wrong with it and plenty of it ends up in my trolley every week.

^^
Yeah, so that was more Daily Mail lies...
"Only Extra class bananas have to comply fully with the shape specifications."

Foobar yet again showing he has the reading ability of a 5 year old.

Note how the Brexiteers don't want to play any more when confronted with the facts.

you mean like the Maginaud line? yeah those national tactics are really all bullet proof

^ The Maginot line was a strategic defence system. Don't confuse strategic with tactics.

Yes it was very strategic, forced the invaders to go all the way round.

You end up having your arse handed to you and humiliated in an open debate where verifiable facts actually matter and will always trump empty slogans and outright lies.

You are a lightweight and you cannot be expected to understand the points that I have made. Much too subtle and nuanced for your small brain.
The point is proven by you claiming a win on an obscure forum. lol

Generally a good way to pick women too.

you really think none of your neighbors don't know already about your tactics

above all in a conflict where everything goes pearshape, and none of the carefully thoughtout plans will work out

you win wars and conflicts with men and a mission, not toys and tactics (ask the silly Americans how their great tactics are working in Iraq)

we need a united EU army where national interests will disappear to make sure conflicts and wars are no longer a reality, and for that to happen we need to come clean on every front

the EU army is the first step for a full EU political integration with one government, one budget, and one nation

The yellow vests still upsetting the granny grabber I see, Macron goes and the next leader of France won't be as pro EU. France really needs Le Penn to save itself.

Lepen can't even save herself, Macron is the only option

granted he and his PM fucked up badly with the gas tax, hopefully they learn their lesson, and now the yellow vests will be there to make sure they do

Vive les Gilets Jaunes !!!

You know things are bad when the seppos start taking the pi$$ ...

my point exactly, they thought they did, and look how it ended

secret tactics don't work, it's just masturbation for military ops

the EU Army to build one nation will not need national secret tactics

Not just his gas tax though is it, it's all his labour reforms which are deeply unpopular with the unions and frogs in general. What's the granny grabber polling at now? 25% or something.

Or Blitzkrieg2 (although Macron does seem to be somewhat complicit; a bit like before...).

go ahead and post a few, along with credible sources.
Not hard for someone smart.

Foobar another of those posters who likes to post pretty pics and gifs to try and hide his lack of intellect.

The electorate have voted, can't let them vote again...can we.?

Britons would now vote to stay in EU, want second referendum - poll
LONDON (Reuters) - More Britons want to remain a member of the European Union than leave, according to a survey published on Sunday which also showed voters want to make the final decision themselves.
Britain is due leave the EU on March 29, but Prime Minister Theresa May is struggling to get her exit deal approved by parliament, opening up huge uncertainty over whether a deal is possible, or even whether the country will leave at all. The survey by polling firm YouGov showed that if a referendum were held immediately, 46 percent would vote to remain, 39 percent would vote to leave, and the rest either did not know, would not vote, or refused to answer the question.


When the undecided and those who refused to answer were removed from the sample, the split was 54-46 in favour of remaining.


That is broadly in line with other polls in recent months which show a deeply divided electorate, in which opinion has swung slightly towards remaining in the EU. The 2016 referendum voted 52 to 48 percent in favour of leaving. The poll of more than 25,000 voters was commissioned by the People’s Vote campaign, which is spearheading an increasingly vocal push for a second referendum on Brexit.


May has strongly opposed holding a second referendum.


But, the survey showed 41 percent thought the final decision should about Brexit be made by a new public vote versus 36 percent who believe it should be up to parliament. Removing those who are undecided, the split was 53 percent in favour of another referendum and 47 percent against.


Lawmakers are due to vote on whether to accept May’s exit deal in the week beginning Jan. 14.

Not a big enough margin for me...I'd prefer a 2/3 majority, but you can't have everything.

So much for PM May's worry about democracy, as she said in the past...it's not over 'itl it's over.

Meanwhile she has reportedly said that the Meaningful vote will go ahead , and some warning of entering uncharted territory if her agreement fails. Not quite true since staying in the EU is well charted.
