in imperial measurements He vowed to 'bring back that ancient liberty' and

Boris Johnson has revealed plans to bring back pounds and ounces once
Brexit is done as he attacks Jeremy Corbyn as 'the most extreme Left-wing
candidate produced by the Labour Party in a century' entering Number 10.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Daily Mail, the Prime Minister laid
out his post-election blueprint to lift the EU ban on imperial
measurements and hark back to the old system. He said: 'We will bring back
that ancient liberty. I see no reason why people should be prosecuted.'
The Conservative leader added: 'I think the reality is a lot of people are
now educated in the metric system, we have to recognise that.
'But people. I understand what a pound of apples is. I also understand
what a kilo of apples is. 'There will be an era of generosity and
tolerance towards traditional measurements.' With less than a week until
polling day, the eye-catching announcement came as Mr Johnson cranked up
campaigning in his bitter race for Number 10 with Jeremy Corbyn. Today,
the PM lays bare the consequences of a Labour government and said Britain
faces the starkest choice at the ballot box for decades.
