In her annual state of the union Ursula Von Der Leyen has called for an EU military force Macron will host a conference next year to plan the details. Glad we have left. Edited by Badger11 (15 Sep 2021 4.10pm)

Then you just get your keys and start rolling!Not sure they have the food shortages in europe like we have, although they are better connected you could say. They certainly got enough willing people to pick fruit and veg when it needs picking, our farmers are between 15-30 down , according to someone on the radio yesterday, and chucking good food out, thats brexit , bad planning, nothing to do with drivers.

Going back 30 years food has always been dumped. Don't you remember the wheat mountains that were chucked. Its not really that unusual; trying to blame brexit without research on historical events is a bit of a cop out!

Surely that’s obvious Whether food has or hasn’t always been dumped is irrelevant Causality is relevant - what May have caused it 30 years ago might not be what is causing it now. What is also relevant is whether said food would have been dumped regardless, which doesn’t seem to be the case. Simply countering with ‘well X has always happened so what’s your point’ is a bit lazy. ‘Murder rate goes up, in part due to lack of police funding’ - ‘Well murder has always happened so what’s your point’. Riiiiight
Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons. |

If tomatoes are going to be destroyed because of a lack of pickers, why not send down fit currently out of work people to pick them ? Provide transport and let them have the dignity of working.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |
