Molly The Wally says, Vampire Hunters Beware!
Britain is being sued by the European Commission in a long-running legal pong over an unpaid garlic bill for £15 million. The EU launched court action last week after an ultimatum to Britain to settle the back taxes expired. The row blew up after the UK mistakenly classified fresh garlic imported from China as frozen, which has a lower tax rate. Mr. Eric Van Helsing told my reporter at Molly Media that his livelihood was being put in jeopardy and he didn’t like the whiff of vindictiveness coming out of Brussels. It just leaves a bad taste in the mouth he was heard saying. Count Duckula was reported saying that he thought it was a big stink over nothing and he was all for garlic being banned altogether! Meanwhile, riddle, when is garlic like an apple? When it’s imported from China by Irishman Paul Begley! The 1.6 Million Euro scam landed 42-year old Paul, the head of one of Ireland’s largest fruit and vegetable producers, behind bars for 6-years. So that will be just call me ‘Dave’ and his mates banged to rights for at least 6 long years in a prison somewhere in Brussels. We better set up an Inquiry forthwith! ‘The Garlic Grilling’ will be chaired by none other than top legal beagle Judge Frankenfurter.
The French reaction: "Let's all go on strike, Brussels can't deny our right to garlic!"
ReplyDeleteAnais , too right Brussels can't stop our garlic munching. Trying hard at our peeps drawing for the BO2012 event you are hosting.

Sounds like a "stinky" mess to me! :)
ReplyDeleteMOL Molly the good news is with all that garlic around you there is no worries about vampires sucking your blood

Hi Madi , we keep our eyes peeled as you never know when one might slip through our ring of garlic.

I agree. Hehe. And it wards off ticks and lice too, I have heard. We used the garlic spa treatment to treat my cousin's lice and ticks problems a few years back and it worked! No wonder you have such a nice coat.
DeleteGo on strike! Britain must not not have garlic!
Oh GOOD GOLLY, you are toooooooo clever. THOSE EYES OF YOURS!!!!!!!! Anita

There's certainly a whiff of rebellion about it... Deccy x
ReplyDeleteHi Deccy and how much is it costing them in legal costs to come after us? We smell a garlic covered rat! Have a good day!
DeleteBest wishes Molly
Wow, would a frozen garlic bulb be as stinky as a fresh one?!? How could anyone confuse garlic with an apple?!? Oh, the imponderables. :)
ReplyDeleteGrr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Hi Sarge it's all a big stink to me. Brussels, decrees that you can’t sell food by numbers so that is a dozen eggs gone, you can't claim that drinking water stops dehydration and you can't sell curved cucumbers ad trust me that is a blog in itself.

Wowzas...food politics.
ReplyDeleteBlech. You're still outlawing the GMO foods though...right? We try to avoid the genetically modified food here but the politics keeps pushing more and more crops through saying it's ok. SCARY!
Nora
Hi Nora , yep nobody wants GM here and we are lucky to be avoiding it. Scary it is , avoid it all costs or you may end up with two heads and eight paws. Have a great day!

Considering how much we give to the EU, you would think they would let us off with the garlic mistake!
ReplyDeleteFor our nomination we would like to choose Posie and her post about the animal sanctuary which is about to close through lack of funds. She is hoping to write a book to raise money so thought it would be a good opportunity to bring it to everypup's attention.
Dip Bridge and Elliot x
Hi Dip Elliot and The Bridge re EU , you are so right. Nomination wise good choice, I will pop over and ask Posie if it is OK. Maybe all of Blogville well get behind the project , I am sure they will.
