Westminstenders: Move Your Business To The EU

[RedToothBrush]

The government is advising people to move their businesses to the EU to avoid UK taxation and red tape.

Why would you do this?

For the interests of the uk?

Or is it about power WITHIN the uk?

DH is on his own. He can take his own chances. He has good life insurance.

I do wonder (and I am not alone) how many murders have slid under the radar thanks to Covid ?

Maybe there's a growth area ? Granny not popped off yet ? Need that inheritance now ? Call Boris and the boys. No job too small.

So, it appears that John Redwood wants more British grown produce
and Yorkshire Tea have rather roasted him
(they of the Rishi picture fame)

Good plot for a book. Get writing.

Oh wait, wasn't that the plot from Eastenders last week until Ian puked and ran off to the tube station to begin his second stint as a tramp?

I go the other way, and it's not allowed in my garden unless it's edible. Was pleased when I worked out that hostas and fuchsias are.

DGR - as indeed some people were bumped off during the War and then were hidden in bombed out buildings. Some of the murderers got caught but I bet a lot didn't.

Talking of War time - it looks as though we will be digging out those war time recipe books. People knew then how to cook with food which was in season. Gluts of summer fruit and veg were pickled or turned into chutneys. In fact now, with the advent of domestic freezers we should find it easier - freeze the gluts to bring out at the end of winter - traditionally the hungry season. This will count as a Brexit Bonus - even though it wasn't on the list of Brexit Bonuses promised.

DH has just ordered an eastern european cooking book in an effort to brighten up swedes, turnips and greens.

DH’s approach to cooking is “add more chilli sauce”.

Was a bit scuppered when someone gave him a bottle of Mad Dog 357 and he applied rather too liberally.

I have the remains of my mother's immediately-post-war Harrod's cookery book. Including recipes using whale meat and dried egg. When she got married (which is why she bought the book, she'd been living with her parents and then in the Land Army up until then) rationing and shortages were still very much a thing.

I must dig that book out.

My mother had one which was Patsy's book of home cookery, although I forget the exact title - all done in comic strip form. The recipes had been serialised in the Daily Mirror. There was an awful lot of reconstituting dried eggs involved. Sadly I no longer have it, that and the 1930s Sheffield book of recipes have bitten the dust. The Sheffield book of recipes was for use in Schools and evening classes and for young housewives, and might have been for domestic servants, and was very very heavy on stodge.

Rationing was worse after the war and continued until 1954 - which was within my lifetime, but I was too young to remember it. Food in our household was extremely monotonous - partly a hangover from rationing and partly because my mother hated cooking.

I imagine that even a good cook would have lost all interest during the war/rationing years tbh.
The constant worry about how you would feed your kids must have made many of them HATE cooking/meal planning?
There's no way to make whale meat appetising.
I've lost all desire to cook since the peri menopause arrived. Quite common apparently and I was a decent cook before.

I've got a good bero cookbook.

@Peregrina

Is your MP a prick?

Nothing I didn't know already, but it's thumbs down across the board for mine.

My Mother has my great grandmother's "Larousse book of preserving"
which allowed her to grow and then stock enough veg that she could entertain in winter without the use of shops
(the veg garden covered an acre and the cellar is bigger than most modern homes though)

@ListeningQuietly our French neighbours still preserve fruits and vegs in their cavé.
I for one don’t mind eating seasonal UK food, grew up that way. Less air miles which we seem to accept for having certain food stuff year round.

My MP is Matt Hancock, so I don't need that link.

Granddad had ferrets. Used to take mum rabbiting to supplement food. Also kept chickens.

Going to struggle keeping chickens in a flat. And a veg patch may be difficult. Too disabled for an allotment.

Hancock is indeed a prick.Some might be called super pricks though like Rees-Mogg who gets the thumbs down in all categories.

Rees-Mogg "British fish are happier" is not just a prick; he is a prize wanker and a massive twat.

He's all that but he knows the sheep in his constituency will vote for him again.

I can't read this as I refuse to pay any money to the telegraph..... but apparently Brexit is all Angela Merkles....

What was that about truth twisters?

Pmk. Discovered that my prepping store of white wine has been dangerously depleted. What with the pressing need to drink a glass of wine every night these days.
Luckily there's no pending problem with supermarket supplies or likely price increases. So it's fiiiiiiine.
