Even the propagandists at the Mail on Sunday know the EU never banned the crown from appearing on pint glasses - something Tories established for themselves in 2007
FT: "Britain’s retailers have warned Boris Johnson that his plan to bring back imperial measures will push up the price of goods — because they would need relabelling — just as consumers are battling the worst cost of living crisis for a generation"
@LBC@metpoliceuk So the Sunday Times is confident that Johnson's party both broke the law and Johnson has no defence, but he wasn't fined for it nor did @metpoliceuk or #SueGray investigate it.
Every day for six years, the Brexit press, MPs, & lobbyists have hunted for a positive, material Brexit outcome; something that would make the £bns in lost trade, removal of personal freedoms, inflation, and the fracturing of Britain, worth it
This is why we end up with front-page stories about stuff that never happened (EU banning imperial measures & crowns on pints) or stuff that was always happening ("UK opens door to world's top graduates") on an increasingly regular rinse & repeat cycle
Has to be said, it appears that there have only been a maximum of 26 more fines issued since the last update from @metpoliceuk - so, the chances that Johnson accounts for several of these seems increasingly unlikely.
