You really couldn't make this stuff up!
The Yorkshire delicacy, parkin, a cake made with ginger and treacle is being investigated over its links with slavery by Leeds city council. A council document claims some of the ingredients (i.e. sugar and treacle) used to make this local product were gained through the triangular slave trade. They are also investigating Yorkshire Tea's links with colonialism. Good job Rowntree's moved out of the county or Kit Kat and Yorkie bars would be next for the chop.
Moving across the channel to Euroland: The European Court of Justice has just decreed that the the 'working time directive' which limits worker's hours etc, applies to the armed forces as well as ordinary employees. Apparently EU forces are now subject to 'individual timekeeping, severe limitations on night work, precise calculation of time off and 11 hour daily rest time. Best of luck with that when the Russian tanks roll over the border!
It seems that April 1st now occurs every day!
