What they very rarely do is actually report on the facts.

Now we all know food inflation has risen everywhere in the last year or so,

Food inflation in the UK peaked at a very high 19.1%

In the sacred beloved EU as a whole it peaked at a slightly higher 19.2%

You can see it all at the links. Do extra charges help? Course not. Are they in any way significant to food prices versus things like the weather or supermarket competition etc? Absolutely not.

You are being played, by people who didn't get their way in a referendum and have never accepted it.

I'll gladly repost food inflation stats in six months time.
Why would you use peak instead of average inflation? Why would you use the EU as a whole instead of individual countries as obviously Eastern European countries are going to feel the Ukraine invasion more than Western ones?

I've never seen someone give bad faith arguments off of cherry picked data as much as you.
