OFFS!

I'm plain common or garden veggie and I wouldn't eat oysters as they're a form of animal protein.

Breed sheep or whatever without faces and that makes them okay to eat?

Oy gevalt!

Why do people insist on tying themselves up in such moral knots?

If oysters can't feel pain, then why do they coat the inside of their shells and the occasional grain of sand in slippery mother of pearl? Why do they close their shells?

If Parliament accepts the new Bexit plan, it can add a couple of lines to the Bill implementing it to repeal the conflicting legislation. If it doesn't, then obviously the problem doesn't arise. It's a non-issue (insofar as conflicting with UK law goes; obviously the fact that it conflicts with the Good Friday Agreement really is a problem).

That judge in the .sig file ruling seems really... wrong.

I expect all legal professionals will be replacing .sig files with pictures of their cats immediately.
