Actually, there is a large pizza export market- a huge amount of frozen dough is being sent to Asia from a site near Witney. There's also a company near Sunderland selling pizza cheese (specifically, cow mozzarella) to Italy. Dr Oetker in Leyland is the biggest pizza-making site in Europe.

Once I’m in charge those spawn of beelzebub abominations will be banned.

I don't know if it's the same firm but when I was in High Wycombe, one of our Labour councillors husband had made a fair whack introducing ready made pizza to the UK market. He had worked at Ford at Cowley and then set up the company. They lived in a very smart road and I think her neighbours were rather shocked that she was a Labour councillor!

After making that flippant comment (it’s a long running meme in our household that Dr Oetker sounds like someone who had a dodgy wartime past) I did some reading, and it turns out he did. Pudding mixes and munitions? What a combination. Mind you, their headquarters are in Bielefeld, so they don’t really exist anyway.

The yellow room already know, but I thought I would share here that I let my LD membership lapse a couple of months ago. Once the UK has either left the EU, or A50 has been revoked, I shall re-join. So hopefully on 1st November. I have told my local party to treat me as a volunteer leafletter in the meantime. You don't need me to make you light grey, then? (Politically, that is, not hair colour..) Incidentally, just for general avoidance of doubt, forum members needn't feel as though they need to be paid up members of a political party in order to be considered as supporters of a political party. We have a huge proportion of people described as Non-Aligned on here. I can appreciate that a lot of them will be floating voters, or just want to keep schtum about their true allegiance, but there must be others - for whatever reason - who just simply haven't got around to telling me or my predecessors what colour they would like to be displayed under.

After mature reflection and with some dismay I have decided to ask the Mods to remove the words 'and Unionist' from my description in my avatar.
The unremitting anti-English criticism, the denigration of England and the rank ingratitude of the minor countries in our union have persuaded me that on balance I no longer wish to be associated with them or to subsidise them any further.
As a political person wishing to see a move to the right and a swift exit from the EU initially on a No Deal basis, I can only see advantages in the loss of Scotland and NI in time expended, income expended, Remainer votes, animosity, biased courts, problems with Ireland and usual net MPs on our opposition.
I can do without all of that and I change my mind to being a non-unionist. I might even urge that England has a Referendum to see if there is a majority to shed them and see how they feel about being on the other end of the stick?
This is a personal statement and not a wind-up or a provocation. I do not intend it to be contentious and state now that I shall not respond to any posts about it in support or opposed. It is purely personal and small scale and nothing to do with the party of which I am a member (the Scottish Conservative Party). If this stirs argument I do think it should be on another thread and not here.

What would be the process if someone on the forum defected? Who would they need to notify (in order to change group, for instance)?

I was just wondering depending on how the next few months go (I certainly wouldn't be defecting until after I go back to university and talk to my Lib Dem mates down there).

(you might want to have the discussion in the yellow room) I'll probably want to have a discussion in there, but essentially Brexit - it's been troubling me for ages but the push for full revocation makes me feel incompatible with party.

If their policy is now to revoke Article 50 and cancel Brexit without a referendum, then I think that the Liberal Democrats should change their name from Illiberal Undemocrats to Illiberal Anti-Democrats.

A democrat in the Liberal Democrats! A rarity these days😉. From someone who's liked a post indicating a wish for this country to have no MPs anymore and presumably operating therefore under some sort of dictatorship. Oh, and is part of a party where your leader unprecedentedly suspends parliament for weeks and lies to everyone about why they did it. You're not exactly in a position to identify what a democrat is are you champ.

Enough common sense Khunanup, I want to hear more from the Tories about how winning an election and implementing the policies you ran on is anti-democratic. And how preventing millions of ordinary people from being stripped of rights which non-EU citizens are literally willing to pay more than a million dollars to acquire is illiberal.

Yeah, presenting a policy in a manifesto for a general election to be voted on by the public is undemocratic. And illiberal.

Personally I 'm not keen on the new policy if it is adopted, simply because of the look of the thing, even though it probably makes little difference in practice. I can see that if we win a general election on our own then we have a democratic right to go ahead with revoke having put it in our manifesto and campaigned on it, but I do think that is quite a big if, and with anything less than that we might be joining with others to get revoke via a new referendum. Then neither undemocratic nor illiberal.
