UK legally bound to pay the EU 39 billion in the case of no deal

Oh dear.

Hands up who agreed that. One might be forgiven for thinking the EU are better negotiators.

And in other news clueless Brexiters fook up again. Who'd a thunk it?

Do you know the word gullible isn't in the dictionary?
The "bendy banana" myth, the first one on your list, has been debunked elsewhere, so I stopped reading at that point.

And you think that pathetic list is worth this?

Max fac customs arrangement s to cost business 17 to 20 billion annually. EU membership is starting to look like a bargain.

"Bananas must not be excessively curved. (The Sun, 4 March 1998, p6)

Bananas are classified according to quality and size for international trade. Individual governments and the industry have in the past had their own standards with the latter’s, in particular, being very stringent. The European Commission was asked by national agriculture ministers and the industry to draft legislation in this area. Following extensive consultation with the industry, the proposed quality standards were adopted by national ministers in Council in 1994."

what an absolute

You love showing off your low IQ at every turn, don't you?

Your own link debunks the Sun quote you've chosen to post.

"Bananas are classified by quality and size so they can be traded internationally. Quality standards are also needed so that people know what they are buying and that the produce meets their expectations."

Straight & bendy bananas are not banned by the EU. Commission Regulation 2257/94 identifies certain restrictions for fruits that producers have to conform to in order to sell their produce within the EU. The regulation states that bananas must be "free from malformation or abnormal curvature."

Class 1 bananas can have "slight defects of shape" and Class 2 bananas full-on "defects of shape"

It's a way of classification so that supermarkets know exactly what they are getting - as your own link says industry standards are the most stringent.

Thick fooker. Doh! and Double Doh!

It's amazing how much people cling to myths.

The regulation on bananas is about them not rotting, covered in maggots or being obviously deformed.

After Brexit I propose the EU export stinking rotting deformed bananas to the UK to satisfy the average Sun reader's expectations of what he wants from a banana.

Well what do you expect. Having no or few qualifications is the best predictor of voting Brexit.
So you get complete morons like OPM and Mr. Bean.

Brexit is too good for them.

That is such a wank quote.

Has anyone here received a bill for £900?

Every household?

Based on what?

Are you really this dim? You do actually realise that this £900 figure is indicating how worse off the country is in total, divided by the population, due to Brexit?
