The vocal is always a minority, and the disparity in numbers (actual real people not sensationalised lies in the media) is clear between leave and remain. We thought this in 2014. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps May wishes to help Scottish demographics by encouraging more English to re-locate to Scotland and so weaken the nationalist cause. Naw, that's just crazy talk, innit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So farmers should be paying £5000 over the average wage for their fruit pickers? Never had you down as a radical socialist, I must say. Just highlighting how little of a whiff of shit Westminster gives for Scotland' economy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I am unsure if this should be posted here or as a third world problem or quick question. My wife was going to the supermarket and I asked her to get me a nice Scotch Beef steak. She comes home with an Aberdeen Angus sirloin, which is marked as british beef. I understand that Aberdeen Angus is a breed and as such my steak could come form anywhere in the world. The origin on the packet states uk and EU. The supermarket didn't have any that were labelled as Scotch Beef. Is this another effect of brexit, the theft of Scottish produce and labelling it as british in supermarkets? Third world dilemma, should I eat it or bin it? Quick question, there is none. Next time I will go to my local butcher. Quick look in my freezer shows Scotch beef labelled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Looks like you are in a predominately vegetarian household, judging by date.Frozen on date of purchase. None of the five of us are vegetarian. The diced beef is usually if my wife has a 12 hour day shift. Defrost overnight, stick in the slow cooker in the morning. Dinner ready at 6 and 8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Scotch Beef" has protected status, Aberdeen Angus apparently not, thought it did. There's a big difference between grass reared AA from Scotland at least, if not Aberdeenshire, than Angus breed cattle stuck in a shed somewhere. https://www.thenational.scot/news/15711761.national-reader-has-beef-over-origin-of-aberdeen-angus-in-waitrose/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 One of the nation's more up-market restaurants, Wetherspoons, used to use Aberdeen Angus steaks and they were superb. Unfortunately they changed their supplier and then proceeded to describe their steaks as of "British & Irish" origins. Since they did that their steak meals have been crap. If it wasn't for Ruddles Draught at £1.85 a pint I'd stop going there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be switching to hormone pumped Yankee shed reared beef after Brexit, the old tramp has probably got the contracts signed already.

dorlomin Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 4 hours ago, John Lambies Doos said: This march nor the petition will unfortunately change nothing Given both main parties and much of the print press are pro Brexit, marches like this help to give a voice to those who twat features May claimed to be speaking for the other night. It helps people who are in strongly Brexit areas feel like the alternative is a loud and important part of British political discourse, it encourages people by making them feel part of a larger movement. We did not get universal sufferage the week after the first Chartists march, women did not get the vote a month after the first Suffragettes march. It is a massive statement to MPs that Remain matters and it will affect how people vote in elections. It also should help jog a few memories that the demographics are that Remain voters will be around a lot longer than Leave ones. It also may just stiffen a few spines when indicative votes happen over a second referendum or a softer Brexit. There is a reason that Remain is shouting for a second referendum and Leave is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
