"It came as the leaders of the three other main parties in Scotland, including First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, admitted taking cannabis as youngsters"

'Taking cannabis' is up there with 'using pornography' in that unless you're nicking someone's weed or you're using a copy of Club to keep a window open it's a completely off use of the word.

I'm going downstairs to take some roast potatoes and use a film.

As a scouser nothing makes my blood boil more than the hilsborough trial.
It's maybe the most blatant cover up ever and yet the families never get justice?

Every single thing I see, hear or read about Fred Rogers convinces me he might actually have been the Second Coming, or at least the very first TV-based saint.

See, that's part of my point, now have to guess in each case separately. For example, if my mother sends me some chocolate from Finland, is that gonna get stuck in customs, despite the nominal value being zero? What about the fact that the EU food standards are not the same as the UK ones, so Finnish chocolate doesn't have enough fecal matter and chlorine in it to qualify as proper?

What if I order some CDs or t-shirts from some company, which presumably would send them in an official-looking parcel with the real value marked on the front (and not as "gift" or whatever)?

What if I order, say, some second hand Lego set from a random seller, so that the package is quite large (but not heavy), and who knows what they will write down as the value and whether it's marked a "gift" or not?

If I'm reading these post-Brexit customs guidelines correctly (and if they are correct), one can still order stuff from the EU to Northern Ireland without having to pay any customs, VAT or other bullshit. And apparently there is also no customs, VAT or other bullshit between NI and the rest of the UK.

So, all I need to do is to find a reliable middle party in the NI and I have customs-free EU deliveries again? In many cases the VAT & customs from the EU directly to rUK would far exceed whatever the shipping costs are from NI to rUK.

What a sensible system, such sovereignty. Crispix, want to start a legitimate EU-UK import company? I'll start the wiki :cool:

New Fudge Alert!

So, just in time for the bank holiday, I’m excited to announce a new Fudge Drop!

We’ve got a selection of delicious flavours up for sale, including a couple of brand new ones! (And I’ll admit to being particularly proud of them both)

New releases:

Original Vanilla
Lemon Meringue Pie
Nibblez
Chocolate Orange
- making its long anticipated return in an improved form!
Peanut Butter Crunch
- Smooth peanut butter and a frankly ludicrous quantity of chopped honey roasted peanuts combine to make a crunchy, sweet, salty and nutty treat!
Coconut Macaroon - Using the dark arts of Fudge Science, we’ve managed to recreate the flavour of this delicious traditional treat in fudge form! A must-try!

All stock is now live and for sale at www.Fudjit.co.uk :)

Also, we will be trading in person at the LarpCon Kit Fair in Coalville, Leicestershire on the weekend of the 5th and 6th of June. If you’re in the area and want to pick up some special deals on fudge (and also see a load of other awesome traders), check out the event page on Facebook and come by! It’s an event being run under Covid-safe guidelines with safety at the forefront.

And if you drop by, do the ‘Stairs’ thing for extra special goon only deals!

Cheers all! Happy fudging!

I read Lemon Meringue Pie and Nibblez and my head put them together as Lemon Merguez Pie fudge.

It seems to be official government policy that every time it comes out that the Tories have utterly hosed up in a way that should topple a government they have someone come out and say "Actually nobody cares, we're over it, move on" and then the press just does it. It's like the press are getting their story straight for how quickly they're going to drop it after today.

A week from now nobody will bring up that Boris openly just blew off all the Cobra meetings, said he didn't care if granny dies and caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.

This rotten country is pretty far into a death spiral of compliant propaganda journalism feeding a disinterested and misinformed public, permitting outrageous government incompetence and corruption.

Maybe I’m just extra pessimistic because of the Hillsborough thing but if massive preventable pandemic deaths can’t even make a dent in the government’s bulletproof image then I really don’t think there’s anything that can change things. Even if they wanted to, the government doesn’t know how to govern and the media don’t know how to do journalism any more.
