The fact Steven Thoburn was ever convicted is a scandal. A posthumous pardon is the only just action

The facts are that Thoburn was convicted of two offences under the Weights and Measures Act 1985 for selling bananas using scales that had been ‘de-stamped’ by a Trading Standards officer because they were only able to weigh in imperial measures. Basically this meant they were not certified, old, out of calibration, and not fit for purpose. Thoburn should have complied with the law.

Punishments handed out by the EU regime need to be reversed and reparation paid.

Not usually one for signing these things. But I really would like to see this happen to demonstrate just how illiberal this law truly was to tell people what weights and measures they should be using in their shops.

Ridiculous that he was treated like a criminal for doing exactly what his customers wanted. Clear his name already!
