Originally posted by WTFH View PostIt could actually be a benefit to the health of the nation. If the UK stops importing cheap meat from abroad and only buys British, then as long as the farmers maintain animal husbandry standards, then the quality of meat available in the UK will improve.
This is good for our health.
Secondly, the price of meat will increase substantially to the point that many people who believe in eating meat 2x a day, 7 days a week, will have to reduce their meat consumption and eat more fish, vegetables and fruit.
This is also good for health.
But that won't last as people will cry out at the prices, so the supermarkets, etc, will start importing from further afield, where the quality and care for the animals is less important, because we're in the "I want" generation, many of whom don't care about the wider impact of their individual decisions, choosing to blame others."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Remember "Ash dieback"?
No, of course, you don't. I will remind you. It is a disease, a fungus, that kills Ash trees.
It has swept through Europe and killed 90% of the Ash trees in affected countries. It first arrived in the UK in 2012 and made the papers in 2015/2016.
I confidently predicted that the Wail will report it again within the next six months with the headline:
Juncker in EU BREXIT plot to kill OUR trees
Not because it's accurate, or relevant, but because it will sell papers.
Secondly, I predict that shortly after publishing the headline on their website Darmstadt will link it in a new thread on CUK. Thus boosting the Google Page-Rank of the Wail article, driving more traffic to their site and increasing their advertising revenue.Comment

They used the same methodology with BSE to find out the origin.
As the disease is more prevalent on the continent it does seem likely it originated there, but guess what an expert in this who spent years investigating actually said that is where it came from. I'm basing my opinion on facts not the defence of the EU.
Don't get me wrong i'm not defending the EU here, just questioning the validity of the "facts" published in the UK press, where there is nothing in the press in other (not only EU) countries. As according to your own post the disease is more prevalent on the continent and we supposedly have 60000 cases here, extrapolating this number should result in 100'000's of cases in Europe, where are the "facts" to back this up?
Which one is more believable - tinfoil hat level of cover up by the EU or misleading "facts" in the UK press.Comment

It's non news really, but the British press love the idea of foreigners bringing diseases, however harmless, that have names similar to other dangerous diseases but in fact have nothing in common. It would be like a variant of the common cold being called canser and then the papers getting hold of it to report on foreigners giving everyone canser, even though all that happens is they have a runny nose.Last edited by BlasterBates; 22 May 2017, 11:59.I'm alright JackComment
