Well I don't think I believe this so much... Captains table never accepted the defence of "I was pissed at the time." And being on a secret mission is just BS, and I would only believe secret if he was SAS and if he was SAS I doubt that he would have assaulted them... So I call BS.

There is evidence of European-produced potato fries being 'dumped' in the New Zealand market at a loss, says a New Zealand industry body, who warns the 'bad faith' practice threatens local businesses and must be stopped.
COVID-19 lockdowns and less people eating out have slowed demand for hot potato chips in European restaurants, and left their suppliers with a glut on their hands.

For CANZUK to advance beyond a free trade and free movement cooperation thought in other areas to those two areas will be needed. One key area in which there is scope for significant advantage to CANZUK integration is foreign policy. However, it comes with three key balances between competing aims that will need to be resolved for any such suggestions of foreign policy unity to work, those being: the need to balance the benefits of acting in unity with the independence of each kingdom; the benefits of deploying force compared to getting stuck in unwinnable situations that cannot be withdrawn from; and the desire to undermine the power of tyrannies in the United Nations whilst keeping a rules-based international order.
