Cheese
Dear CallumWK: "to me, and most other people, French cheeses are about the best in the world" With respect, I should tread very Caerphilly on this one, sir. British cheeses have for centuries 'graced' the tables of many a true Englishman from a Stinking Bishop to a Lincolnshire Poacher. I am forced to accept that Stilton does not come from Stilton but are you sure that you are British? Does the Monty Python Cheese Shop sketch mean nothing to you? Are you not a fan of Wallace and Gromit? You like French cheeses? Well, chacun a son goo. I may not be able to write accents, but when I say 'goo', I mean 'goo'! Enjoy nibbling your brie, sir. I'll get down to some serious eating and go for the full Stilton. From one turophile to another, whatever it is, enjoy it, sir (as long as it's genuinely cheesy) -

Why Donald Trump Could be a Major Challenge for the British Government
Oh come on, this is just left wing student politic cliches. You would do well to research some history of the UK within the EU; the die was cast to our second class membership back in 1970 when the Fisheries Minister, Geoffrey Rippon, told Prime Minister, Ted Heath, “if we want to join the EEC (as it was then known) on the terms stated by General de Gaulle, we will have to sacrifice Britain’s fishermen” This is exactly what the treacherous Heath did, and with that one submissive act, set the tone for how the UK has been treated by the EU ever since; it also resulted in our fishing industry, that was the largest in all of Europe, being completely decimated, leaving huge unemployment and poverty in towns like Hull and Grimsby, the latter once being the largest fishing port in the world. Heath was also made aware of the “Werner” report in 1970, which set out the EEC’s plans for monetary union and a federal state; he deliberately kept this information from the British public, who subsequently voted to join a “common market” unaware of the political and monetary aspirations of the EEC. The EU has never treated the UK equally despite us always having been a nett contributor; even at the end, they refused to grant a few lame concessions to Cameron, concessions that would have prevented the referendum. I look on cheerfully as the whole edifice is starting to implode ….. oh Mutti, look what you’ve done. apologies, it’s slightly off topic, but you brought the EU into the conversation. -

Why Kamala Harris Lost: The Challenges of a Complex Campaign
Well, as luck would have it for all soybean farmers the world around. The Russians attack Ukraine, sending the price of soybeans sky-high. Prices are expected to begin dropping next year. -
