22BUK

So says the EU

It comes after the organisation was mocked last month after a ruling that led to a ban on claims that drinking water can prevent dehydration.

Hands up if you think someone, somewhere, has taken a backhander to come out with these, to sell more re-hydration drinks, laxatives etc?

Allegedly

Snazy

What a bunch of idiots. Does any country actually really believe half of this, or are they all led by this rubbish?

GlesgaKiss

Why are they doing this!? It boggles the mind.

22BUK

And who is paying for it?

I guess that's us then

legb4rsk

How dare you,Sir?
Backhanders,scammers,liars,thieves,morons justifying their existence,just another place form useless people to go when they have finished in politics & bathe in the un-regulated gravey train.
Surley not?

Another level of bureaucracy invented by politicians for politicians(& their wives,family,friends,dogs....etc,etc)

Another reason to get out of the EU.
What a bunch of useless ****ing idiots.

Why would anyone even slightly care about this??



I'm sure this will ruffle some feathers, but this somes up how a lot of people feel:

At last - a British version !!



I think this person has covered it all.


I am the political Parties Worst Nightmare.
I am a White, Conservative, Tax-Paying, God fearing BRIT ......
I am a hard working and l work long hours to earn a living.

I believe in God and the freedom of religion, but I don't push it on others...

I believe the money I make belongs to me and not some bloody governmental functionary, Labour/Greens or Liberal, that wants to share it with others who don't work!

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!

I think owning a home doesn't make you a capitalist; it makes you a smart BRIT.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it!

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac or any other item, you should do it in English.

I believe there should be no other language option.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.


I don't hate the rich, but hate the way they are always finding ways to pay less taxes
I don't pity the poor, I hate the way they are always crying that they are hard done by!!

I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.

I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks, and neither have you!

I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country!

This is BRITAIN .....We like it the way it is and more so the way it was ....so stop trying to change it to look like USA , India , Africa, Pakistan , Iraq , Russia or China , or some socialist country!

If you were born or legally migrated here and don't like it... You are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you. (and take Clegg, his dick head group and the Greens with you.)
I believe it is time to really clean house, starting with the Houses of Parliament, the seat of our biggest problems.

I want to know exactly, where the "Do Gooder's " get their money from, and why are they always part of the problem and not the solution?

Can I get an AMEN on that one?

I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what race, colour or creed you are, but not just because you happen to be an illegal alien and scream that they are "RACISTS PIGS"
.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my driver's licence. I think it's good....
I hope you are not too stupid to claim to know how our electoral ballot system works, the Politician's don't, so what hope have we??
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause.... Get a job and do your part to support yourself and your family!

I believe that it doesn't take all the intellectuals to raise a child, it takes two parents....

I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers think!

I believe the Union Jack flag should be the only one allowed to be flown in Great Britain !

If this makes me a BAD BRIT, then yes, I'm a BAD BRIT
If you are a BAD BRIT, please forward this to everyone you know.....

We want our country back!
My Country.....
I hope this offends all illegal aliens.

My great, great, great grandfather watched as his friends died in the Boer War.
My grandfather watched and bled as his friends died in the World Wars 1&2
My grandfather watched as his friends & brothers died in the Depression of 32.
Our son's and daughters watched & bled as their friends died in Afghanistan and Iraq .. None of them died for the Afghanistan and Iraq Flag. Every BRIT died for our flag.
Our young men are getting killed in Afghanistan whilst their young men run away, and get on a boat for BRITAIN , taking the place of genuine refugees!

At a well known University foreign students raised a Middle East flag on a flag pole, BRITISH students took it down. Guess who was expelled...the students who took it down.

Enough is enough

This message needs to be viewed by every BRIT; and every BRIT needs to stand up for BRITAIN ..

We've bent over to appease the Brit-haters long enough. I'm taking a stand.

I'm standing up because of the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the BRITISH flag.

If you agree, stand up with me. If you disagree, please let me know. I will gladly remove you from my e-mail list.

And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

BRITS, stop giving away Your RIGHTS !

Let me make this clear! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY !

This statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration !

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY, welcome to come legally:

1. Get a sponsor !
2. Learn the LANGUAGE, as immigrants have in the past !
3. Live by OUR rules ! Dress as we ,BRITS do.
4. Get a job !
5. Pay YOUR Taxes !
6. No Social Security until you have earned it and Paid for it !
7. NOW find a place to lay your head !

If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM !

We've gone so far the other way . . . bent over backwards not to offend anyone

Only BRITS seems to care when BRITISH Citizens are being offended !

WAKE UP BRITAIN/ENGLAND ! ! !

If you do not Pass this on, may your fingers cramp !

Made in BRITAIN & DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!!!

No they didn't. They said that you can't make unsubstantiated health claims for food-stuffs to get around the rules over medicines. If you claim your food (or water) has a medicinal effect you need to prove it. If you can't prove it then you can't claim it. And you can't prove prunes are a laxative (my money would be that it's the syrup they're in that's having that effect anyway) so you can't claim that they are. As for the people here who think they can tell accurate medicinal claims from bogus ones: I doubt it. And that's missing the point: most people agree that false claims in advertising should be banned. In this case the UK government are too in the pocket of the food industry to do anything about such false claims, but the EU can.

I had to laugh at Chris Evans this morning when he decided to enter an experiment in which he ate a prune every 15 minutes as a check on their claim with Moira Stuart as chief controller with a clipboard if course.

Did not hear the results though!
