Tory party to change back to imperial measurements

[Roy Bloom]

Engine sizes have and were always expressed in CC afaik or since I can remember

Cubic centimetres

Or litres
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5.

The Tories like tradition

maybe that’s why they are taking us back to Victorian levels of inequality

Britain faces ‘return to Victorian inequality’

TUC report says UK is at risk of reverting to 19th-century conditions

Imperial and metric measurements have nowt to do with brexit

97% of the population agree with you. Hands off our metric system! - went the rallying cry. The other 3% were miserable old Brexers (includes Smogg) that hate the UK, the young and foreigners.

That will give the old Brexers on here a thrill. Some like MBK will be staring longingly at their portrait of Maggie on the wall, whilst humming rule Britannia and dreaming of the old days.

But it was a brexit claim.

And who cares about smog

Agree, but some think he talks sense

The UK were using metric measurements long before we adopted the metric system as the norm

Fasteners on cars for example, were usually imperial, until about the 80's generally

Engine sizes have and were always expressed in CC afaik or since I can remember

Cubic centimetres

A metric measurent. Much easier to understand

Brexiteers of course decided to do that arse about face

But since we are about to see the end of 2023, one wonders if a/any brexiteer could make a New Year's resolution...

And tell us of a single benefit of brexit?

Stopping the live export of animals for slaughter ? Is to become law

 

[blup]

Doubt that will become law now Borris's missus is no longer an influence on government

Also afaik the Labour Party have in there manifesto proposals to strengthen animal cruelty laws

Increased prison sentences

Good for labour / Starmer (?) I say

It’s a possibility ?? That I could vote for the bloke
Assuming I can be bothered to vote all ??

Don’t normally take part in general elections
Last time was in the 80s for kinnock

That was when they represented the working class and the party actually had MPs that new the price of milk and working class MPs (?)

And people that actually had a job

Stopping the live export of animals for slaughter ? Is to become law

Could be done whether in or out of the EU...

Is the UK stopping the 'export' of live animals from say Wales to England?

What's the difference?

Brexiteers fail to realise/accept that all countries within the EU are sovereign ones...

They can make their own laws if they choose to do so!

So your next false brexit 'benefit' offering is?
