Anyhow. The chlorinated chicken debate goes on. The US saying one thing and the NFU saying another.

Do you ever buy bagged salad?

No.

 

[Sick Boy]

That may be so but they’re still taking measures to protect the rights of British citizens. It also debunks the sovereignty argument somewhat given Spain are making this sovereign decision by themselves with no interference from the EU.

Yes it is up to individual countries, which is weird as I thought they no longer existed.

 

[Captain Dart]

No.

Just as well considering it is chlorine washed.
Do you ever drink tap water?

My issue isn’t actually the chlorine. It’s animal welfare. To start of with animal farming is cruel regardless of where in the world it is but the reason that they wash their chicken in chlorine is because in America the chicken can live it’s whole short miserable life swimming in raw untreated sewage and so long as it’s washed in chlorine it’s classed suitable for consumption. They have a single hit approach to the cleanliness of animal welfare whereas the European standard is that it’s a constant process throughout their life. That’s my issue.

I don't think you mentioned animal welfare before nor has anyone else banging on about chlorinated chicken.

Personally it’s always been my major concern. Same with their beef. There’s a reason that they inject it with various things. They never leave the cowshed. They live short unnatural lives having never walked on grass and the lack of exercise means they have to be treated with drugs to recreate what would happen naturally if they grazed in fields.

The danger of course is that these practices become widespread in the U.K. to compete with cheap American imports and then that effects our exports.

That is an unsubstantiated scare story. The market will not stand it and exports to Europe will continue to conform to European standards or better.

 

[shmmeee]

American food is shit.

Don’t know why. Don’t care why. It’s fucking terrible.

What are next weeks lottery numbers please?

The US beef farming practices are already creeping in even with EU regulations. I concede that it is possible that standards may improve but given that EU regulation is a minimum standard and there’s already scope to improve standards and although we have already one of the better standards in the EU through our traditional methods in the U.K. I think it’s unlikely that standards will improve further any shakes post brexit. In an effort to compete with US imports though...

 

[Astute]

That’s bending the truth quite a bit. The rights of citizens has been a key bargaining chip of the UK, which shows just how weak the UK’s hand has been.

Try again.

We wanted to talk about rights. But only how much we owed the EU for leaving and what would happen with Ireland were the only subjects allowed.

 

[Sick Boy]

No they weren’t, to try and claim the UK was all for citizens retaining current rights and a top priority is an outright lie.

Logically flawed, morally indefensible: EU citizens in the UK are bargaining chips

 

[Astute]

What are next weeks lottery numbers please?

That is the same as when someone says our standards will lower when we leave the EU. They ignore that we already have standards better than most EU countries.

Why can't we keep this to the truth?

We won't even be leaving altogether so will have to keep up with EU standards as a minimum but I suppose point scoring is more important than anything else.

Let’s hope so, being dictated to by the Americans about our standards and what we could do with our own currency would be ridiculous.

Are they?

The EU continues to not want to talk on the matter

Tusk urged to meet MPs on citizens' rights


I suppose your link is true though as it is a anti Brexit blog.

First you’ve skipped from several years ago to this week.

As has already been said, individual countries are setting their own rules on what happens in the event of no deal.

 

[Sick Boy]

I suppose your link is true though as it is a anti Brexit blog.

It’s connected to the London School of Economics...and this is coming from someone posting links to Guido Fawkes.

LOL.

As has been said, it’s up to countries to decide what happens.

 

[Astute]

First you’ve skipped from several years ago to this week.

As has already been said, indivual countries are setting their own rules on what happens in the event of no deal.

Yes skipped 2 and half years to right now. Would you like me to bring up several links where the EU has refused to talk to us on citizens rights?

We are happy to give rights to those countries that replicate a deal. But no country can come to a deal with us as it has to be a deal through the EU. And Spain isn't the first or only country offering it to residents without the EU saying so. And we are offering it to those who have moved here.

Just another reason why leaders of countries in the EU want to take power off those who somehow have ended up running the project.

Did you not read it? It is how it explains itself.

The deal has been agreed by the 27 countries and it has been agreed that each country can decide for themselves on what to do in the event of no deal.

I know Spain wasn’t the first country, I think that Italy was the first in January to do so.

 

[Sick Boy]

Doing your useful childish nonsense to distract away from the content of the article and the various rejections by MPs.

 

[Astute]

The deal has been agreed by the 27 countries and it has been agreed that each country can decide for themselves on what to do in the event of no deal.

But not ratified by the EU like it should be as they refuse to do so until this stage of Brexit is complete. So if it was up to them a no deal would mean everyone loses their rights to stay where they have moved to.

But as usual the excuses come out for the EU. You won't have anything said that could be seen against them.

 

[Astute]

Doing your useful childish nonsense to distract away from the content of the article and the various rejections by MPs.

No. Being truthful and the truth goes against what you are saying.

Take it you have read the link properly now.

Rejections from MP's? So you have now ignored the latest link on the subject.

 

[skybluetony176]

That is the same as when someone says our standards will lower when we leave the EU. They ignore that we already have standards better than most EU countries.

Why can't we keep this to the truth?

We won't even be leaving altogether so will have to keep up with EU standards as a minimum but I suppose point scoring is more important than anything else.

If British farmers can’t compete against cheap imports due to farming practices what do you think will happen?

I actually made the point of saying that our standards are better than most in the EU but no one will be surprised to see you twisting and lying I’m sure.

 

[Sick Boy]

It’s part of the withdrawal agreement and no it wouldn’t as it is encouraging countries to decide for themselves ffs.

I’m just pointing out that you’re coming out with twisted ‘facts’.

 

[Sick Boy]

No. Being truthful and the truth goes against what you are saying.

Take it you have read the link properly now.

Rejections from MP's? So you have now ignored the latest link on the subject.

Which one? Your link that has already been discussed and countries deciding for themselves after being agreed by the 27?

You were the one who claimed that guaranteeing rights was a top priority for the UK

 

[Sick Boy]

American food is shit.

Don’t know why. Don’t care why. It’s fucking terrible.

Compare the health of the Americans to Europe as a whole and it’s a no brainer

 

[Sick Boy]

Just another reason why leaders of countries in the EU want to take power off those who somehow have ended up running the project.

Which leaders are those then?

I honestly don’t get why you spend so much time posting and getting so worked up as somehow who claims to be neutral.

You’re a British citizen and resident, your country is working towards leaving the EU. Relax and embrace your upcoming trade deal with Trump.

 

[skybluetony176]

Which leaders are those then?

The ones that are independently making decisions about the rights of citizens of a soon to be non EU country. Grrr the EU interfering making all the decisions as usual. I blame Selmayr

 

[Astute]

I’m just pointing out that you’re coming out with twisted ‘facts’.

No SB. I am pointing out your incorrect facts. You have already changed what you were saying yet still make out it was me that was wrong.

I take it you didn't know about the latest from Tusk until you saw the link I put up.

You tried to make out that it was the fault of the UK and nothing to do with the EU. Yet the EU says they don't want to ratify a deal about citizens as it would mean that they have failed in making a deal with all involved. This most probably means FOM. With FOM there is no need for anything to be ratified as it isn't needed.

But I suppose you will find a way of blaming the UK for the situation. You always do.

 

[Astute]

Which one? Your link that has already been discussed and countries deciding for themselves after being agreed by the 27?

You were the one who claimed that guaranteeing rights was a top priority for the UK

Come on SB you are better than this. You don't need to twist the truth to get a point across.

So where did I say guaranteeing rights was a top priority. Thought it was a comment from Mart then.

I said we wanted to have talks about sorting out the problem but the EU refused. You have blown one side up and ignored the other. I wonder why this is?

 

[SkyblueBazza]

That may be so but they’re still taking measures to protect the rights of British citizens. It also debunks the sovereignty argument somewhat given Spain are making this sovereign decision by themselves with no interference from the EU.

Who said the EU have had nothing to do with it?
