They won't need subsidies because they'll be able to sell all their wonky veg the EU doesn't allow.

Is that official? Which exit group has announced this?



How much cheap milk comes from the EU? millions of gallons of the stuff hence the cheap milk prices that are putting UK dairy farmers out of business.

We won't be bound by stupid EU rules so they'll be able to sell their bent cucumbers, fused potatoes, three into one carrots, two into one parsnips.

Add into the mix the £350million a week we won't be ploughing into the EU and it's a win win situation for the farmers.

I think you will actually find that most of these types of vegetables are not sold because of consumer pressure for the "perfect" vegetable than EU rules.

Man voting to stay in EU because he thinks he’s sophisticated



A MAN is convinced that Britain should stay in Europe because he imagines it gives him continental flair.

Quantity surveyor Wayne Hayes, who believes himself a cut above the Little Englander types, argues that Brexit would make him look parochial and unworldly.

He continued: “When you look at me, you see a man who could be drinking Bellinis in Harry’s Bar in Venice for breakfast before flitting to Barcelona for tapas on Las Ramblas.

“How’s that going to work if we leave the EU? I don’t want to be thought of as a man who’s always queuing for visas.

“I support Inter Milan, I watch the films of Francois Truffaut, and I read Herman Hesse in the original German, or certainly I’d like people to believe I do.

He added: “I believe there are other reasons, tariffs and such, but they are really beneath the attention of a dashing, George Clooney-esque Europhile like moi.

“No, staying in Europe is the suave, sophisticated thing to do and that’s the sort of person I am.”

Farmers celebrate spring by spraying shit everywhere


FARMERS have decided to spray gallons of rotting excrement everywhere now that it is nice to go outside again, it has emerged.

Agricultural workers do not believe spring has truly arrived until the air is thick with the putrid smell of fermented animal waste.

Farmer Tom Logan said: “Liquid manure is farmers’ way of celebrating the new, fertile season. People are in for a treat because I’ve just loaded up the spreader with some especially ripe [edited by admin] that’s been maturing all winter in a big metal tank.

“It’s like a fine champagne, except made of stewed pig turds.

“There are other fertilisers that are just as effective and come as odourless pellets, but the traditional ways are the best. Apart from battery farms and injecting sheep with steroids.

“I definitely wouldn’t sit down with a beer in the evening and laugh about all the townies almost puking when their delicate little noses smell my slurry. Farmers just aren’t like that.”

Villager Emma Bradford said: “Today I stepped into the garden to pick some flowers and it was as if Satan had farted into my brain.”

That isn't the choice being offered. Anyway the standard of living is higher in Germany than the UK.
