Pages of jingoistic twaddle. A couple of facts and a bit of conjecture to enable decades of hatred to pour out. At the end he briefly adds something about China because presumably the editor read it and needed some 'balance'.
That's about the French. You can't deny 1,000 years of history. We've always been at war with the French (it gives us somebody we can always beat ).
It is specifically not about the other Europeans: E.g.:
"But it would be wrong to put all this down to the personality of one president. France’s diplomatic and political elites have generally taken Macron’s line, as have most Eurocrats – although, significantly, not most European national governments."

"Fuck Brexit lads, let's argue about imperial vs metric measurements instead" - Bede was bang on.
Whoever wrote that article as a distraction piece was a fucking genius, he's hypnotised you into thinking you're Joey Deacon.
It just goes to show that there is actually very little to worry about with Brexit, or at least nothing that anyone is really bothered about, you're all too busy wanking onto a cracker over measurement units.
You do seem to be getting kind of bitter and twisted on this thread old sport, Joey Deacon isn't really a situation to be making too much fun of is it?
Take a step back, chill. If you don't like the thread err... don't waste any of your expensive man hours on it instead of "Throwing your shite" all over it every two days like an attention seeking chimp.

I never ever understood the furore about selling in kgs/lbs. As Mr Dazzle says above, you could always sell in both/either - you just had to have the Kg price displayed with the lbs price.
In a country that, in some areas, has old celtic languages on road signs (mostly) as well as the standard 'english', what on earth was the issue with displaying both weight values on produce??
Because as well not being able to use apostrophe's greengrocer's are rubbish at math's but don't want to admit it.

Interesting that you didn't choose to mention the previous paragraph...
In September 2007, the European Commission proposed authorising the use of supplementary indications indefinitely which was subsequently adopted and the Directive revised accordingly. This was widely reported as a return to imperial.
So "they" made it permanently OK to use the dual system. So while it may not be explicitly stated, its pretty implicit that that "ban" on imperial only applies to systems which ONLY show imperial. Almost as if they want to make sure everyone has access to a universal agreed system
Agreed, it is ambiguous.

As much as I’d love to jump on the pious bandwagon ( not suggesting you are pious btw) part of me almost always wants to shout ‘Joey Mohican Fleaken Deacon’ anytime you get given both barrels of wtf
That has everything. Marxists, Union Paymasters, Nightmare Regime.
Plus a scowling Corbyn, a smug Kinnock and a beneficent Boris. The Sun editors must have giggled all the way back from the boozer.
But yeah your typical Joe Brexit reading that, never believed a word of it natch'.
I'm not convinced that will make much of a dent to the reported shortage of 100,000 drivers, nor that a temp scheme will be particularly attractive given that the major Euro economies are also trying to attract (and retain) foreign drivers.
Of course all these big logistics firms could have apprenticeship schemes and train new drivers. That would help to reduce the youth unemployment, and help those stuck in dead-end jobs that would like to retrain. They could have started these when Brexit was first decided.

Driver shortage was known about years ago, well before Brexit.
Training is one thing, but making it an attractive job is something else.

All fixable, but will cost money, for better pay, better conditions and better facilities. I know several HGV drivers who like driving but hate living like tramps.
