    Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

    'UK will continue to work with EU over refugee crisis after Brexit'
    “And the reason is because I go to a supermarket, and a banana is straight. I’m just sick of the silly rules that come out of Europe.”

    Panel members on the show were debating whether Britain would be economically better off after Brexit, following the Bank of England raising growth forecasts.

    The woman added: "It was more than bananas, it's the fact that there's more opportunities out there that we need to see as a country."



    you see 'bananas as the sole and only cause;
    she saw bananas as a symptom and example of lots of silly rules from the Eu and could see the opportunities outside the EU;
    I see it ridiculous that in a world with people with insufficiennt food, the EU chooses to focus on the cosmetic appearance of food rather that the nutritional value.

    Whilst you're not wrong, I think the consumer do a far better job of discerning based on cosmetic appearance. Those 2 food clowns, Jamie and Jimmy did a programme last year on ugly food. Supermarkets said they didn't buy non standard veg as it wouldn't sell. J&J said we don't believe you.

    So the supermarket said "OK, we'll give it a shot". They sold the uggo stuff right next to the pretty stuff, at about half the price. They couldn't shift it. In the end it all gets used for pig food, so a decent enough ending I guess.
