    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Your competitive GBP has increased inflation thus squeezing poorer people's budgets and made people's holiday more expensive. So, yes you are better off, but that is hardly the case for everybody. The real Brexit hasn't started yet. This is just the preliminary "wobble" before it kicks in. My...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Was the referendum question: do you want to stay and let the EU do what they like with you? or do you want to leave? No it wasn't. The myth that the UK has no say in further integration or an EU army came from the leave side. It isn't a known fact, It is just as much a presumption as the story...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Remain was the status quo. That hat evolved over 40 years. We knew what remain meant, but as of yet no one has defined Brexit - or rather there is no universal definition.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I am not happy that a wafer thin majority of the electorate voted on an issue which was not defined before it was put to the electorate. A yes no question on something like Brexit was not the way to do it. In fact there was no necessity for a referendum at all. It was all about a power struggle...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Deflecting from your hypocrisy again. Why don't you just admit that leaving the EU will not fit in with your own views? You can have low interest rates by staying in the EU - which is your main thing. You can use the EUs bargaining power against people who abuse animals as much as or more than...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    You voted for control. You cannot have known or thought it through to the point that we may have to accept things we don't want to get a trade deal e.g. with the USA. In other words we have no 100% control of our borders. If Trump says that ( chlorine chicken ) or no deal, then what? No EU and...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Not so concerned as say a Vegan. Not happy to kill anyone or anything....but if we are going to do kill animals, then let's weigh up suffering against a necessity to eat and our pleasure in eating. I have introduced vegan chili into my pub as a small step by giving an alternative to meat. I...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    No. Martcov is concerned about the lowering of trading standards in meat production. You are obviously not. All members of the EU voted against importing chlorine chicken - except the UK who wanted more time to asses the situation. Chicken production in the USA is more efficient and chicken...

    Low interest rates in the Eurozone too. The tories really are doing a great job. Really low actually. One consumer bank is charging negative interest on deposits. Or won't you give credit to the ECB for that? You must if you claim that's what it's all about for you. Actually you are showing...

    Just ate a Burger King - only because these places are open later than most. But, you are right it is crap ( prefer BL to MacD though ). 7,99 € for a Farmhouse Burger Menu is not expensive though.

    If he is stuffing himself with European luxury foods then I am sure he is in good company. There are plenty of others gravytraining it.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Do you want cheap alternatives even if that involves animal suffering? Cheap should not be the main criterium. I do agree that it helps to have money if you want to get healthy and ethically produced food. The aim though should be to improve things not dilute our already dubious food production...

    KFC McD Franchisees? It is supposed to be much cheaper than EU chicken. A lot would depend on exchange rates though.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Funny that the people kicking up most in Germany were the greens and that the people most for chlorine chickens were the other businesses who were prepared to accept that for more trade with the US.

    Its like 2008 never happened....

    I had a problem before when the engine blew up ( years ago when I was buying a LR Discovery ) and they said it would have been no problem if it were leasing. Tbf the 800 € is including VAT. The car costs more than I pay over 4 years and I would trade it in anyway. Although... I am now 62 and...

    No. “The European Union has said that it is perfectly safe. The issue lies around some of the secondary issues of animal welfare”. Critics of the practice say that it allows farms to have lower hygiene and welfare standards because the rely on bathing the meat in bacteria-killing chlorine...

    No. Modern Farmer: Despite claims that chlorine treatments reduces the risk of bacterial contamination, the prevalence of salmonella in German chickens is lower than that of chickens slaughtered and sold in the U.S. (in 2013, Consumer Reports found 10.8 percent of U.S. chickens harbor...
