E.U: Leave or Stay? Your thoughts.

I guess the "back" finally peeled off the "take back control" slogan.

 

"Control something, whatever it is and ignore if you could have done so all along" just doesn't make a very catchy campaign slogan,

But neither does "much very good information"

(if you get that reference get help)

 

Something must be done!

...to disguise the fact we could've done something all along and didn't.

 

Meanwhile in the Netherlands: Dutch PM didn't visit dying mum due to restrictions

 

Clearly, he doesn't love her.

“We want you back”

...we just don't want you to stay.

 

We want you back for.. Six months, then GTFO.

 

9th January 2020:

"Chlorine-washed chicken and hormone-treated beef will be kept out of the UK under any trade deal with the US, the environment secretary has promised. Theresa Villiers told the BBC the current European Union ban on the two foods will be carried over into UK legislation after Brexit."

3rd June 2020:

"Britain ready to allow import of chlorinated chicken from US. Britain is prepared to permit imports of chlorinated chicken from the US but will slap high tariffs on cheaply-produced food in order to minimise the impact on British farmers."

 

Copy/pasta my response/thoughts that I put on OCUK to this

 

Indeed. And those "high tariffs" will be the first casualty of the upcoming US-UK trade negotiations anyway, so financially struggling families will buy it because it's cheap, and UK farmers will go out of business. Brexit: people getting what they voted for.

Also the plan one or two days ago was to allow in millions of people from Hong Kong, so...

 

Was thinking about the chicken, tough how it seems we're going to be importing meat it would be illegal to produce here. Also not every time you eat chicken is its provenance displayed, all those takeaway chicken curries for example, it's going to be impossible for the consumer to opt out.

 

This is why I'm more or less veggie/vegan at this stage, that and the lactose intollerance. If this happens I'll just give up on meat andbe done with it I think.

 

It's all part of that 'taking back control'.

Meanwhile the UK's new solution for the COVID-19 crisis: send it abroad!

 

To be fair we have had that several time in the UK too, I rember there was an outbreak in or around Surrey years ago for the exact same reason. Its why I always wash my veg!
