    Certainly not now. He's gone off to 'serve France' - some would argue he's been doing that for years.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      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?
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            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.

            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.
