Britain will vote on whether to leave the EU on June 23.
A team member led by British Prime Minister David Cameron said Britain would be richer, safer and stronger if it stayed in Europe.
People who want Britain to quitTeam Brexit —
Think that the British should be able to control their own destiny.
We haven't had two world wars yet, they sniffed and were pushed around by the boss in Brussels to tell us what bananas to eat.
Yes, you read it right: bananas.
"The EU tells us what the shape of the banana is, and it's absolutely crazy," said Boris Johnson, Britain's most important cheerleader to leave the EU.
Former Mayor of London, his blonde mop is as beautiful as his facts, I tactfully quoted one of the oldest and most enduring distrust of EU bureaucracy-it banned the import of "curved bananas" into the United StatesK.
The rules of the EU do not prohibit any kind of banana, whether it is straight or curved.
What they do, however, is to classify the pricing according to the shape of the Banana: The best bananas must be "not deformed or abnormally bent;
"Secondly, it is better to have a slight defect in the shape;
Defects in the "cheapest or worst quality can be displayed" shape.
"Although this grading system may discriminate against a very good but defective banana, it is not equal to the ban.
The curved banana legend is perhaps the most notorious story later known as the European myth.
In the past 20 years, British tabloids have used the United StatesK.
By publishing exaggerated articles to express the contradictory relationship with the EU about the interesting and often unfounded story of how the "bartenders bureaucracy in Brussels" destroys the old British tradition and the British way of life.
It is a national pastime for the media to come up with creative alarmist.
These myths are related to all aspects of life: the bells of the church will be suppressed;
Fishing boats that must carry condoms; U. K.
Hospitals are forced to employ people who do not speak English;
Women Hand over old vibrators for recycling before buying new ones. And so on.
But the number of food and drinks is the largest.
Since the EU has always issued new guidelines on food safety, hygiene, agriculture, dairy products and health, tabloids have plenty of feed to use.
The standard trick is to accept general guidelines and interpret them as cartoonists as naughty and outrageous as possible.
For example, take a hearty English breakfast.
There is little injustice that can prompt Brits to change more quickly than thinking that a pile of European suits would ban Brits from eating bacon, sausage, eggs and grilled tomatoes in the morning.
In 2001, when the EU put forward some very general guidelines on the need to improve the health and safety of truck drivers, the Sun decided to rotate it into a ban on fried foodups.
"EU bosses want to brake on a hearty English breakfast," it hissed.
"Last night, truck drivers were angry at their staple food. . .
Can be replaced. . .
There are assorted milk bread and croissants.
"There is no plan for the EU to ban truck drivers from eating British breakfast," the EU responded.
The "greasy spoon" cafe on the side of the road also does not face the risk of closing.
One of the most popular and absurd myths is about the bartenders cleavage.
On 2005, when an EU proposal asked employers to assess the risk of skin damage to employees working in the sun all day (
Every year, 69,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States. K. )
The newspaper decided to see it as a highly cautious act: the EU is using skin cancer as a tactic to have the maid cover up the truth.
"Take your hands off our bartender's chest," screams the sun.
"The European Union has announced a crazy war on the plump bartender-trying to ban them from wearing low-breast clothes --cut tops. Po-
In the face of the pen pusher, the bar girl thinks that too many cleavage is harmful to health.
In a stupid directive, officials in Brussels ordered the cover-up --up.
They said that if the maids were exposed to the sun when they went out to collect their glasses, they had a risk of skin cancer.
The EU replied: "We do not have the intention, even if the Sun launched the water bottle campaign to save us.
"Of course, bar managers can always use their common sense by distributing sunscreen.
"Last year, when the EU passed a law on energy,
For the efficiency requirements of the new oven and cooker, the courier rushed to accuse Brussels of "pushing the green agenda by targeting the oven and putting the Sunday BBQ at risk ".
The article even cites the blue ribbon chef (
It happens to be an avid supporter of Brexit)
Lamenting "all our cooking books are useless.
The EU politely pointed out that the cordon of Cassandra was wrong.
Because, it says, "many of the cookware on the market have followed the new rules and have not caused the popularity of" trough period "or pink roast beef.
"Over the years, readers have been told that Brussels is forcing the UK to re-name light beer, minced meat pies, lemon curd and yogurt in accordance with the new labeling law;
Brussels will decide on three crops that British farmers must plant;
The new rules of the European Commission on Liszt in cheese made from unpasteurized milk pose a threat to the iconic stillton;
The shellfish (
Mussels, oysters, clams)
Rest will have to be confirmed;
Smoked Bacon
It is forbidden to sell flavored potato chips and unpacked candy.
The tradition of the British Navy is to stir Christmas pudding with wooden oars, which will also be banned.
In the future, plastic paddles will be used for hygiene.
Some of these stories are very exaggerated-for example, the Qingkou story involves the rules of humane transportation of animals such as sheep and cattle.
Others-such as about unpacked sweets, Christmas pudding, and "hysteria over the bacteria of Lee"-are all outright fabrications.
The same is true of how the politically correct EU has ordered the renaming of delicious snacks called Mumbai mix to the spicy story of Mumbai mix.
The firmly joking EU replied: "Any suggestion that the EU will" mix"
It's totally ridiculous to rename this or any other snack.
"But it's impossible --pun the press.
Don't mind tabloids, even The Times can't help but indulge in the euro --mangling.
"Bread crumbs, go home now --
It announced in 2004: "It's dangerous to make a cake . "
"If the baking of a school or church is not heavy enough, the government will soon ban going home --
Cakes for sale, unless there is a special label that says if they contain nuts. " (
The EU labeling rules do not apply to homemade foods. )
The EU, tired of these tall stories, has built a list of pages and played against more than 500 in alphabetical order.
Some myths are so interesting and imaginative that one can almost forgive the joy of tabloids-except that it can cause confusion and spread misinformation about the EU.
According to a recent study, 15% of AmericansK.
Chinese people think at least one euro. myth.
The population of the fourth country has swallowed the crooked banana ban.
If the tabloids are credible, then the British Isles will tremble with thousands of "anger" and "Red --
Faced with "terrible" and "angry" truck drivers, bartenders, bar spectators, cheese eaters, bakers, farmers, and European skeptics of all stripes.
The future of banana and wine girl fashion is under threat.
On June 23, we will find out the direction in which it is bent.
