  1. Me too. Bananas sold in Europe are usually tasteless. However, the small bent bananas may be quite good in Thailand.
  2. Are you sure It's different in the UK? It probably retained this regulation, as it did for thousands of other regulations.
  3. The banana classification is still applied in the EU, in a slightly modifier text. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg_impl/2011/1333/2017-07-28 #takingbackcontrolofourbananas
  4. No other extreme. Just people considering facts. The 2020 election was not rigged. Just as the 2016 election was not riggered, despite Trump claiming so because he expected to lose.
  5. Probably because this type of companies owns assets.
  6. However, from what we already know about the different ways he valued the same assets, it may well be that it has at least partly been the result of tax fraud.
  7. Not stupid. I am sure local supermarkets or shops are quite happy to be sure of what they get when they order a box of bananas from any supplier. Moreover, having the choice different qualities at different prices allows them to match the needs and buying power of their customer base.
  8. So my "whole post has no bearing on reality", but It's all you found? ???? Go try impeach someone for that! As pointed out by other posters, it would have been beneficial to U.S. people (and others), it particular at a time they are filling their tanks to warm their house in winter. Also beneficial to plenty of other countries, and with a direct impact on global inflation. As usual, you have nothing.
  9. Exactly, the GOP has been trying for years to push false equivalencies, on order to claim that what happened to Trump were witchhunts and nothing burgers, that the Dems are equally corrupt, etc... The problem is that Biden's campaign did not meet with foreign operatives, that Biden did not commit an abuse of power by pressuring a foreign leader in order to try to discredit his main opponent, that Biden published his tax returns and did not try to fraud tax, that Biden did not illegally hold classified documents after he left, that Biden did not try to overturn elections and assault the Capitol, etc... So their only possibility is to make stuff up, and organise a big show a la Jim Jordan which will "look like" a real commission. Pathetic.....
  10. Interesting (ok let's forget about the indirect claim that censorship was due to the political side of the poster, which has been a lame claim from the right wing for years). How would assess a polite threat? A polite racist tweet or post? A polite call for violence?
  11. I can understand them!
  12. So they changed in 2009. Good!
  13. Well, at least, someone warned him... From the article: "He said an attorney from the Republican National Committee speaking on behalf of the campaign warned Liddy on the phone a week ago that there were “a lot” of Lake supporters who were really “irate” and the campaign was unable to “control” them."
  14. #Takingbackcontrolofourbananas ????
  15. Why is it of high importance to be allowed to sell bananas which are not free from malformation or abnormal curvature of the finger? Only Brexiters would think so, obviously. Never mind the common market! Think about the benefit of being able to order bent bananas instead! ????
  16. No it's a Brexiteer who first posted about it in this thread ????
  17. When former President Donald Trump returned briefly last week to his office at Trump Tower in New York, he was joined by his son Eric Trump and the top executive of a Saudi Arabian real estate company to sign a deal that creates new conflict-of-interest questions for his just-launched presidential campaign. https://news.yahoo.com/trump-familys-newest-partners-middle-130831034.html
  18. It is not uncommon for fruit and vegetables to be classified. There is no reason it shouldn't be done when the industry asks for it. And It's more simple for everyone to have the same standards for the EC/EU, rather than different domestic standards. Anyway, not banned. Brexiteers's lie.
  19. At that time, it had all the appearance of a Russian disinformation: an unbelievable story (a laptop forgotten in a repair shop owned by a right wing guy), Giuliani as a messenger (with a track record of propagating Russian disinformation), and the information only given to the NYPost. As soon as the other media got a copy (ex WaPo), they inspected it and reported about it.
  20. Yet, this tiny issue the the only thing the right wing has been showing against Joe for two years. In particular the NYPost, which has received the content of the laptop from the start, and had far enough time to find something new.
  21. Hunter Biden is currently being investigated (by a Republican). It started during Trumps mandate and has not been halted by the Biden administration. Already investigated + private citizen having no business with the government. It doesn't justify a House investigation. It's a witch Hunt.
  22. The media didn't get a copy and it stinker disinformation. ÷ still there isn't much about Joe. Just that it was suggested he may become shareholder of a JV, which he didn't anyway.
  23. Of course, no link to the poll's details..... However, one obvious clue of bias: "Nearly four of five Americans who’ve been following the Hunter Biden laptop scandal,,,"
  24. Well, if Giuliani had initially provided the files to all media, instead of only to the infamous NYPost, they could have been checked earlier.
