Many Icelands in Norn Ire are in "nationalist" areas, not exactly Brexit voting hotbeds.

I do like the Iceland CEO in fairness, he's calling out price hiking on baby foods.

price hiking on baby foods.

Learnt recently that it’s illegal to discount baby formula in the UK (and in the EU). Originally intended as a measure to protect children by encouraging breastfeeding, nowadays it ensures families that can’t breastfeed have to shoulder the additional burden of full-RRP formula.

That sounds like a law that now no longer serves a purpose.

I imagine with the whole Nestle pushing baby formula scandal and other marketing tricks in the past that law was necessary, but I assume that babymilk marketing is now tightly controlled.
