you conveniently forgot BSE which the UK infected the rest of Europe with. Also last week a massive amount of chicken was recalled because it was out of date and relabelled again for sale. So what has 'labelling' really achieved? A whole list of supermarket chains have been affected by the same processing plant who supply from Waitrose/M&S to Lidl. Just shows how gullible people are buying 'premium' products when in fact the are the same as sold in low cost outlets. You mean like you do in Malta as almost most of your food is imported from countries like the UK. Your national dish "Maltese stewed rabbit (fenek)" and I would imagine nearly all your rabbits are imported as there aint many running around. You even kill off all the birds in your annual shooting season which Malta refuses to abolish. You slag the UK off about food without actually thinking or knowing that most of your food is from the UK. You really do talk a load of cr@p and I wonder why you do come out with all of this verbal diarrhoea most of the time I really do. But being a local fisherman as you seem to be by your boasts of a boat all the time does not really let you keep up to date on educational matters. Edited by susmik (05 Oct 2017 5.05pm)
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

The point was that EU labelling laws still enable contaminated products to get in the food chain. When foot and mouth broke out in 2007 we didn't carry on and process the livestock and relabel it as "produced using x, y or z from the EU" we banned all movement of it and destroyed those infected by it. Salmonella was the mid 80s, the EU egg contamination is still going on. [Link] My point was that cock(eral) ups occur all over.

In regards to salmonella in eggs, we admitted there was a problem in the 80s to the point that the danger was actually over-exaggerated. A UK lion branded egg today has virtually no chance of having salmonella whereas it's still rife across most of the EU. The same with BSE, to bring up the point someone else tried to make, as there were far more cases of it in France than in Britain. We admitted it and were subject to an EU export ban for 10 years (illegally much longer in France) while they covered their cases up and carried on as normal.
Optimistic as ever |

No I refuse to believe that the French would only look out for themselves.

Ah of course, us silly naive youngsters with our pesky degrees, voting against the wise and definitely not foolishly nostalgic elders. How dare we! Is it not possible that the young are fully aware of the EU, and what it stands for- but rather than being afraid, and wanting to go hide under a rock, muttering about WW2, would like to be part of something larger? Something better than an insignificant island nation, largely irrelevant on the world stage? Out of genuine interest- British forces have served as part of UN peacekeeping forces. Do you object to this in the same way you do to an 'EU army'? You'd have to be fairly mature to know what life was like pre EU. In some respects it was a lot easier being in control of our own destiny and with a distinct identity. Globalisation has blurred some of that and so has the fact that we are barely in control of our own assets anymore but I for one, do miss it.

Cost Edwina Currey her job if I remember. As for vCJD in beef, the government of the UK had known about the risk since the early 80s and didn't act for over a decade. There is still a major risk that that a large percentage of the population could suffer from CJD as a result if it turns out that vjcd is a mutation seen due to high rates of infection. Hopefully not the case

Hopefully not the case Yep, she resigned. You don't get vCJD in beef, you get it in humans. The B in BSE stands for Bovine and the first death from it in cattle wasn't identified until 1986 but the government were not guilty of doing nothing for a decade. Many practices that were believed to cause it were changed and outlawed in that time. It wasn't banned for a decade because the first death in humans didn't occur until 1995. There is still a risk people could be infected as it is long incubating. But meh, steak for dinner.
