No you must've missed Boris saying that bringing back the tod was his raison d'etre (his exact words!) for joining leading the Leave campaign.

A tod is 28 kilo... THAT would be a triumph for The Buffoon....It looks to me that there should have been a comma in there. I think he meant "... while we spend the next 10 years in negotiations with the EU, giving a tod to get a kilo.", not "... while we spend the next 10 years in negotiations, with the EU giving a tod to get a kilo." as you seem to have read it.

Cookie Monster Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Chlorinated salad leaves on sale every day of the week in every storeYou are correct, but what you fail to write is the concentration level of the chemicals. You also fail to publish the main reason given for not allowing the exporting from the USA, is the hygiene level in the supply chain.

oaksoft Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) Given that the US will be stamped as the country of origin on any chicken on the shelves, it should be easy enough to avoid this sort of thing. Simply buy British. Mind you, this doesn't guarantee good quality either as we've seen countless times.

Without investigating the underlying chemical processes which the European Food Safety Authority have outlawed I can only take their word for it and I'm happy to do so. Absolutely. 21 minutes ago, waldorf34 said: Chlorinated salad leaves on sale every day of the week in every store Yeah, ostensibly, it does look like a contradiction.

Buddymarvellous Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Not really a contradiction in that chlorination in itself is safe. The reason for the chlorination is the important thing. The RSPCA explanation is helpful “.. Under EU regulations, processors can only use cold air and water to decontaminate poultry carcases. The ‘farm to fork’ principle of the EU aims at ensuring higher hygiene standards across all stages of production, rather than a particular disinfection method at the end of the process.” There is a bit less concern for the welfare of a lettuce before the chlorination process.

Angela Rayner was right today, the Tories are scum. A couple of Tories did vote against it and one minister Caroline Ansell resigned but some of the other stuff was just Victorian.... Quote Yet when he called this week for the food vouchers to continue through half-term and Christmas, the government’s response was a full-frontal political assault on what the new Tory MP for Bassetlaw, Brendan Clarke-Smith, scornfully called “celebrity virtue-signalling”. & Children had been going hungry “for years”, small-business minister Paul Scully said awkwardly on the BBC. The Mansfield MP Ben Bradley tweeted that it was better for kids if their parents didn’t fall into “dependency”. It’s enough to make you miss the patrician Tories of old, who at least understood why some people didn’t like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
