Thanks to new rules from Brussels we will soon be prevented from buying “a dozen eggs”. Foreign MEPs have just outvoted our own MEPs and imposed regulations on us, forcing retailers to sell eggs, oranges, bread rolls etc by weight, not by the number contained in the packet. If you think this is crazy, you’re right. It will cost producers £-millions and mean that they need to weigh every box or packet before offering it for sale. Instead of a carton of eggs saying “6 Eggs”, only the weight may be displayed. Showing the amount (i.e.: “6 Cup Cakes”) will be illegal.
Nobly standing up for Britain, the Food Standards Agency said: “It is important that information is provided in a way that is meaningful and beneficial to customers. The issue is still being considered by EU member states and it will be some time before the regulation is finalised.”… Note that they admit that it will be finalised, just not yet.
This is just another example of how British politicians sold us out for Euro Gold. If you want to help the Resistance, perhaps you’ll add this date to your diary. UKIP is holding its annual conference at the Torquay Riviera Conference Centre on Friday 3rd/Saturday 4th September 2010. The TV and Press will be there, along with Lord Pearson, Nigel Farage MEP etc. Tickets are £20 for the Friday (£15 for Saturday). It’s open to the public, so everyone’s welcome, even Gordon Brown who’s probably at a loose end right now. Come in, Gordon. Sit down. Fix yourself a drink. You look like you need one...
The Riviera Centre is a great venue, with bars, brasserie, swimming pool, trade area, and main forum. For anyone with an interest in politics, it should be a really entertaining event. Doors open 9.30am on the Friday for 10 o’clock start. Please try to make it if you can. Open to all. Cup cakes will be available singly.
