Quite possibly, thank goodness we are already out of it. This could work out OK for the UK.

I don't necessarily mean the EU, I mean the Euro currency area, although there is some overlap.

I don’t get it tbh - I know he has a lot of corruption allegations but a very stable country doesn’t have martial law

How one man threw South Korea into a political crisis

South Korea has experienced an unprecedented month, with two presidents suspended from office.

Based on what? It’s just a reaction to the idiot Macron playing his part in forcing yet more austerity on people.

Although described in the headline as a flatulence tax, I read elsewhere its cows burping which releases the methane.(I was reading up about Bovaer which is an additive to animal food which reduces methane output and has caused a bit of controversy).

It just made me laugh wondering where this could logically end up. An additional tax on baked beans perhaps.And statins.

And yes, partly because it looks like it involves farts, which can be funny at times, have you ever seen Blazing Saddles?

Puerile I know.

Why misinformation about cow feed additive Bovaer prompted people to throw Arla milk away

The additive is approved by regulators and experts say it is safe, but misinformation has raged around Bovaer.

Farts are funny. I’m agnostic on methane tax. Not really looked into exactly how much of an issue it is. I liked the story I read about pants for cows to filter it out. Much more my kind of solution.

Think I'm missing something on this story as I have no idea why it is controversial. Do people not realize how many chemicals are involved in industrial farming these days, not like this is the first time they've been used.

From what I've read it does zero harm to the animal and doesn't affect the milk so what exactly are people getting upset about?

It is the anti additive lobby. They don’t believe that this stuff doesn’t get in to the milk and the extremists think it’s part of a Bill Gates conspiracy to reduce the world’s population - which would also reduce CO2 emissions.

Probably the same people who don’t believe In COVID or are / were anti vaxers.

All this discussing milk stuff really follows on from the “we won’t tell you how to live your lives“ party suggesting banning porridge ads before 9pm.

Haven't they got anything better to do?

Banning TV ads in the days of YouTube seems a little silly. The coverage is ludicrous, porridge ads aren’t banned for example, but still.

I bought some so called plain porridge oats this morning and just had to check. Surprisingly, 1% more sugars than in the sweetened variety. My muesli had even more, It’s the dried fruit that’s the problem with that.And I thought muesli was a healthier option

I am sure it offends the very core of your being to open Daily Mail online, so this is a copy and paste

”The Government's new ultra-strict ban on junk food advertising has sparked outrage on social media, with many rallying against the 'confusing' rules that list foods like porridge, muesli and some yoghurts as unhealthy.

These products will be banned from commercials that air before 9pm on television, and axed online ads completely.”
