Is the nation short of chickens or summat? If we import millions of chickens, we'll need to import tons of eggs. And then there's the farmers, corn merchants all going out of business. Not to mention the hard working chicken pluckers! Ah! But which will we import first? The chickens or the eggs?

Illegal under EU law but the Liam Fox (how apt) hinted that deregulation post brexit will oil the wheels of a trade deal. Gove isn't happy about watering down environmental regulations. May has washed her hands of it all (with anti bacterial hand wash no doubt) American Holers, what does chlorine washed chicken taste like? What do others think. Are we letting standards slip? Will we undermine our own poultry business? Would you eat chlorine washed chicken? Nick in have a go at the Tories at every opportunity shock. A paltry effort, or should I say, poultry effort. #labourminionfail

I just quickly glanced at the title of this thread after a traditional french lunch of a few glasses of vin rouge. I thought it read 'chlorine washed children' which is of course a great idea.

Your constant thread starting to criticise the government wouldn't be quite so tedious if you weren't so transparent. You want a Labour government at all costs regardless of the damage they will do to this country. #nonstoryyawn

I think the issue is that in order to trade with the US we could end up in a situation where we have to accept reduced food safety standards than we currently have as part of the EU. Which is kind of not the point of 'taking back our independence' when it means having our UK trade rules influenced by a foreign national trade body. i.e. its not OK for the EU to make trade demands on us, but the US, that's fine.

Even the EU has said the process is much more effective at removing salmonella, ergo the U.K. would not necessarily be accepting a lower standard. Furthermore, if the U.K. does not want to submit to that part of any potential trade deal then it does not have to. That would be part of the negotiation. With the EU, much of that power is removed from the individual nation states. Before I get accused of being anti EU, I should point out that I was a remainder even though I think the EU is in dire need of large scale reform.
