Brexit supporters bite back over EU rules on bananas

London

BANANAS, kettles and vacuum cleaners - campaigners for Britain to leave the EU warn that even the most mundane things are subject to rules made in Brussels as they urge voters to "take back control".

European Union rules on the shape of bananas have long been a symbol in Britain of the red tape imposed by technocrats in Brussels, but the campaign for the June 23 referendum has sparked fresh claims of interference. "So do you agree with this EU regulation which sets out how shops should sell bananas?" tweeted the Vote Leave campaign.
