Barnier orders UK to obey EU rules

Nor has Barnier

Certainly not now. He's gone off to 'serve France' - some would argue he's been doing that for years.

And what is wrong with horsemeat (as long as it is declared properly on the packaging)? It is delicious and still wonder why I can't get it here in the UK.

I wasn't making a judgement on horsemeat, purely that the evil EU 'they' didn't do it as was insinuated; it was the act of criminals.

The UK is a civilised country; apologies for the inconvenience, and do feel free to feck off to somewhere that isn't.

But the UK eats cows and sheep so why is a horse different?

'they' didn't put horsemeat into the food. It was the act of criminals.

And of course it goes both ways - we have signed a legally binding international treaty. It's just that the brexidiots think that we can break a treaty with no consequences. They are wrong.

It was the act of criminals that the EU failed to prevent maybe if they had washed them in Chlorine?

EU ministers call for emergency testing amid horsemeat scandal

European Union ministers have called for more intensive meat product testing for a month amid a growing scandal involving horsemeat being sold as beef. The affair led to food recalls across the continent.

Horsemeat scandal: where did the 29% horse in your Tesco burger come from? | Horsemeat scandal | The Guardian

The Guardian has discovered that the company bought some of its meat from a Dutch businessman called Willy Selten via a trader who could have been a source. Selten ran a meat cutting plant in the town of Oss, south of Rotterdam. In May, he was arrested by the Dutch authorities on suspicion of fraud and false accounting, when official tests on boxes of meat labelled as beef taken from his factory found horse DNA in 21% of them.

We hopefully don't eat Cows & Sheep with banned substances in.

Horsemeat raised for human consumption is fine.
