    I think it's crazy that we here in Europe pay tax on essential foods (lettuce and so on) at all. In Ontario, which has to be one of the higher taxed provinces in Canada, the tax on essentials is - wait for it - 0%.

    Indeed, a discussion on how to tax is very different from how much to tax.
    Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban

    Don't brand Europe like that, in the UK, we don't pay tax on food like that. It's basically just your areas.

    The UK isn't on continental Europe.
