This. I think part of the trouble may be that it is the EU saying You Must Have Breaks, With These Specific Rules Applied, rather than you lot just sensibly, responsibly and (look out) autonomously fitting in a sandwich/cuppa/visit to the loo at whatever reasonable opportunities come up throughout the shift. IIRC the Sun and its readership aren't fond of the EU although I daresay half of them couldn't actually explain why. Perhaps one of their rivals will run an article on Devastation In Our NHS: Ambulance Staff Work 12 Hours Without Food Or Water.
