Reply to: French foreign minister: We no longer want to pay for Poland and Hungary

[Eirikur]

Ah, so as per standard left-wing policy, freedom of speech is imperative, until it's a right-winger speaking it?

1. I'm not left wing
2. your reply makes no sense in relation to the topic

[LondonManc]

You clearly did not understand the reason why the French are saying this.

It's the far right populist regimes that have taken to government in Hungary and Poland that don't want to abide to EU laws but still want their cash.

Sorry, I was being facetious to bait the resident xenophobes - and like a moth to a flame, it worked

Ah El-reeker is your sockie, that explains why he posts gibberish inaccurate rubbish.

[vetran]

I didn't miss any point. I just replied to a (typical brexiteer) sensible challenge (with typical remainer) false, misleading and not on facts based accusation

FTFY as usual

You will find the facts are available even if you ignore them. The meat was supplied to the public contaminated and not fit for consumption which is why it was a scandal. The fact it was horse meat was not the key issue.

No it was the Dutch actually

BTW eating horse meat is perfectly normal in virtually all other European countries, only the Brits have this strange thing better to waste good and very tasty meat then to eat it (it should be declared in the ingredients though and not be sold as a different type of meat)

You missed the point as usual.

The meat was there illegally, it was contaminated with drugs and mislabelled to really upset those that have to avoid pork or beef.

If the UK decided to properly sell horse meat I am sure many people would enjoy it.

You missed the point as usual. Also there was a long list of countries that supplied adulterated meat.

Wasn't it the Polish who sold us a dead horse and put it into the frey bentos pies

Over a fifth of meat in Britain's restaurants and supermarkets contains 'unspecified animal' DNA
Figure comes from a 2017 British Food Standards Agency (FSA) report
145 items of 665 sampled in consisted partly or wholly of unspecified meat
Products came from 487 businesses, including restaurants and supermarkets
The FSA said the results were consistent with 'deliberate inclusion'

Yes but when you try to have an adult discussion and realise you are just talking to a bunch of spoiled children then you know it is time to go.

No point in flogging a dead horse n all that.

Like the UK, right wing (tick), want their cake and eat it (tick)

[Eirikur]

Hmm I think the EU is starting to understand what having a large number of poorer nations in it will do for the richer ones.
