Almost makes you wistful for chlorinated chicken...

Why do people harp on about chlorinated chicken when it comes to the piss poor US agricultural practices that are almost certainly going to be foisted on the UK post-Brexit as part of a US-UK trade deal*?
I would be more concerned about hormone injected beef, among many other things.


*in reality an honest to God raping and pillaging of the weaker partner, America First after all.

Turn all hop farms into car parks and import all hops?

Europe’s latest food scandal has widened after the European commission announced that a total of 15 EU states, plus Switzerland and Hong Kong, are now known to have received egg products contaminated by an insecticide harmful to human health.

A spokeswoman in Brussels said the situation was “evolving by the day”, as criminal investigators continued to hold two men arrested on Thursday for fraud following a series of raids in Belgium and the Netherlands.

The EU countries known to be affected by the scandal are Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Sweden, Britain, Austria, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Denmark. Products in British supermarkets were removed on Thursday after it was discovered that the initial Food Standards Agency claim that 21,000 contaminated eggs had hit the UK was a major underestimate. The FSA now says the figure is more like 700,000.

I think the continent are not too interested in imports of British gammon and mince, in fact they will be specifically excluded in any trade agreements

Not to mention gammon and mince.

This is part of the Brexit master plan to blockade the continent in the event that they don't play ball.
