You do realise the EU ban was because it is TOO GOOD at getting rid of any bugs.

After washing it would pass any hygiene tests. No doubt it was to impose on the rest of the EU, the more expensive abattoir standards of Germany.


Lower levels sounds good, doesn't it?


The EU alternative is "washing" with air and water. Therefore the chlorinated wash is additional. It's ruled safe by the EU, so what exactly is their problem? Other than shutting out the US.

The only reason the US need to chlorinate their chicken is because their hygiene standards are inferior to the EU.

The pound has faltered owing to the uncertainty, that is all. It will rise again post Brexit.

I am a Brexiteer but I don't want the EU to fail.But it's because I know it will, due to the sheer inefficiency and mismanagement of Le Project, it is better to be out of it when the fallout spreads.

As Mick says, our trade with the EU will continue beyond Brexit, and our opportunities in the bigger world are vast. Your pessimism doesn't change those facts. Look again.

Canada, you say? You mean that country that just arranged that trade deal with the EU without being a member of it?
:p:

Oh yes, probably. But at least we wouldn't be IN it - just trading with it.

Better buy British, then, Mr K. The choice is yours. If you eat meat, of course, which you say you don't!

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

As your post pointed out.

Why is a chlorinated wash ok for salads? IE includes vegetarians.


Doesn't mean standards in the US are necessarily worse.


Germany has a habit of imposing it's own more expensive standards on the rest of the EU, in order to stop others having an economic advantage. All to do with maintaining the "level-playing field", as with the conditions the EU is still trying to impose on the UK, post-Brexit.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

There won't be a choice to buy British when we leave, Patrick Minford has already said agriculture and manufacturing will have to be sacrificed, perhaps we can go back to digging for victory

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

I'll try again but staying on topic.

The question wasn't nonsensical, you keep saying the EU are corrupt, but aren't other countries (including us), ones that we will be trading with also corrupt or is it just the EU because you don't like them? I know we aren't in any other union but that wasn't the point of the question.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

Every country has a degree of corruption - I have never advocated that there are countries which aren't (ours included).

I go on about the EU being corrupt because it is and the UK Democratically voted to leave it.

The EU way, is that they are Anti-Democratic, they have had other Member States holding important votes again and again and they want us to hold another referendum, they want us to remain but we voted out.

The EU is championing on getting rid of the "Veto" that each member has, so in other words they want to force their ways on ALL member States and cancel the veto each Member state has. Guy Verhoftstadt more or less suggested this is how the EU should be now in a TV interview just recently. They want to steal and rob sovereignty and further powers. Who the hell wants to stay aligned to this BS ?

I urge people, however they voted to go watch that BBC Documentary on Iplayer if it is still on, EU Negotiations - Behind closed doors. The EU have not acted in good faith at all towards us and Theresa May has just allowed them to piss all over us when we should have stood firm. We cannot be allowed to succeed out, they pretty much said that, so have given us a crap deal. Is this not corruption, because it is to me?

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

But will we be any better off dealing with other corrupt nations? Won't we just get shafted in other ways. We were always going to get a crap deal from them. They can't be seen to be dishing out good deals as that will make other countries go for leaving the EU. Do you believe the EU has done anything good for the UK?

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

No - because if a particular country shafts us - we can simply not trade with them, we cannot do that with the EU, even after we voted to leave them.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

It's a big game to play based on who might or might not shaft us, especially considering they know we might be more desperate for a deal once we leave the EU. They are no more corrupted than any other union/country. And have brought plenty of benefits to our country.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

I am sorry but I totally disagree, they are utterly corrupt and they do not provide any benefit to our country either.

They do not bring anything to this country and don't start to go on about investments, as that is our money, we give them, minus their cut, as we are a NET contributor.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

So the working time directive isn't a benefit?

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

Not to me it's not, I work in the health care sector, so I am not protected as such, I would not call this a major benefit and we don't need to remain a member of the EU to keep it in UK Law.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

It's not just about you Mick, is it, it's about all of us. It's a huge benefit to millions of people across the UK. If we weren't part of the EU, we might have never had it to begin with.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)
 

The washing is necessary for US chicken as it is a cost saver. Their inhumane system of chicken rearing is the problem that chlorine washing is trying to solve (not always successfully).
