Re: Still. The Farage Garage will be open for business on time.
Actually, it seems that the fake news (where have I heard that phrase before?) article about the EU mandating straight bananas was made up by a Daily Telegraph journalist called Boris Johnson, and was a complete lie. (He has a somewhat fleeting acquaintance with reality and women, if one can believe what one reads in the papers.)
The actual sensible argument for leaving was that the EU was moving to become a United States of Europe with centralised political and financial controls over its member states. This would have meant significant loss of sovereign ability by the more powerful states to do their own things on foreign policy and fiscal policy. It was nothing to do with the money we send to the EU every week - if it had been then Boris would have delighted in describing in detail what that money was spent on, but in fact a lot came back to the UK in grants and subsidies, and a lot of the rest was spent on things we approve of, oh and the £350million per week was before Mrs Thatcher's rebate is taken into account.
