What alternative universe are those guys in?

An absurd ruling that strips the fast-food giant of the trademark for its signature burger is a prime example of a bureaucracy run amok.
The EUIPO ruling, which McDonald’s says it plans to appeal, reads like it was written by someone who has never been to a McDonald’s. It maintains that the U.S. corporation has been unable to prove that it actually sells Big Macs, even though the fast-food chain had presented what it considered to be definitive proof, such as affidavits from employees in the U.K., Germany and France, pictures from the corporate website and even a printout from Wikipedia that describes the Big Mac as “a hamburger sold by international fast food restaurant chain McDonald’s” since 1967.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister Boris Johnson won approval for his Brexit deal in parliament on Friday, the first step toward fulfilling his election pledge to deliver Britain’s departure from the European Union by Jan. 31 after his landslide victory.

Lawmakers voted by 358 to 234 to pass the second reading of the legislation, underlining Johnson’s large majority in parliament that should ensure a smooth ratification of the divorce deal to implement Britain’s biggest policy shift in more than 40 years.
