Re: A number of sound decisions?
It was the stupidity of making a criminal law of fine and or jail time for the shape of a banana.
Oh-ho, there's goes CJ again misrepresenting the facts!
It is a criminal law for the mis-selling of goods. As for jail time, can you actually furnish anyone with one single example of someone being jailed for mislabelling bananas, let alone even prosecuted?
The EU directive that the xenophobes like to rail on about, in case anyone is in doubt, refers to classification of fresh produce, where fruit and veg with defects, such as "abnormal curvature in bananas" must be labelled as "class II", rather than "class I". Apparently requiring people to accurately classify the goods they are selling is now some sort of fascism.
Of course, back in the land of reality, the only people who object to such regulations are those who want to be able to mis-sell you things. The sort of shysters who'd like to be able to get away of selling you a bag of potatoes with stones in and then walk away saying "caveat emptor" without fear of prosecution.
