The Brexit Arms - All welcome. :-) :-)

[surferjet]

So .....how are we all this evening?

Chlorinated water is used to wash harmful bacteria (e.g. campylobacter) off chicken, last time I looked most of the chicken in the UK has campylobacter, which is why we make dam sure it is properly cooked.

Had the TTIP trade deal between the EU and the US gone through we would have been eating US chicken anyway, so the only way to have control over what food we eat is to leave the EU.

So your happy to eat vegetables washed in chlorine but just not chicken, why? because I cant find any evidence that it is bad for you. I am starting to think is that it is propaganda by remoaners trying to keep us in the EU.

I think we need a chicken and banana poster to symbolize brexit

bored well that's pretty much what I was saying - the UK had a direct hand in shaping legislation, so that won't change. The thing that will change is no longer being able to blame the EU.

Thats deep, man!

Sorry Roman, that was to Debbie

I agree with you, when we have left the EU the UK will need to get things right...or they will be voted out.

Does anyone think its beyond ridiculous and underneath the flying pigs, headless remoaners are running around like chlorinated chickens

Lets act like a UK banana and split from the EU.

THE EU as a buffer confusing the general P and used by politicans to transfer blame, more great reasons to strip back all these confusing layers of government - back to basics and the parliament that we the UK have enjoyed since 1215.

a UK Banana in all its not conforming, curvature glory

Why don't I want to eat chicken that needs to be decontaminated during processing?

Because I would rather have get my chicken from a system where biosecurity is enforced throughout, rather than at the end stage of processing.

Not having a bad day, no - just finally snapped when reading (yet again) the inference that 'people on benefits' are incapable of thinking beyond their next 'handout'.
And (as per) a well measured 'when my husband who's a higher rate taxpayer leaves, they'll be sorry' type of post.

Just intrigued that very few of the posters who invoke the tax rate apply it to themselves (am fully aware that some do, obvs), it's usually always 'my husband'.

As someone who is currently in receipt of several benefits, including free school meals, it offends me to be reduced to a 'poor, misled, turkey voting for xmas' along with the usual platitude about 'the poor' and the obligatory sad face.
I am perfectly capable of thinking beyond my next 'hand out' - as are countless like me.

It's especially offensive as I am reduced to this stereotype by people whose 'husband's are higher rate tax payers'.
This distinct lack of imagination which reduces 'people on benefits' to this homogenous mass of apparently misled thickies spectacularly fails to grasp that those 'people on benefits' may just have payed a shitload of tax over their working lives and through circumstance & shit luck find themselves on benefits.

But hey, yes - 'people on benefits' need saving from themselves by people whose 'husbands are higher rate tax payers'.

(Am aware that this probably seems irrational to some, but it really, really offends me - I know it wasn't meant personally, but it's lazy, shitty thinking like that which perpetuates the stereotypes and it makes me cross).

As long as you are ok

Look at me not using smileys

I really think i am maturing as a person

Perhaps you could give us some of these unpopular decisions we scapegoated on the EU?

Breaking with tradition on this thread- I'll answer the question

Business 'red tape' for starters.

The fact none of you can give an example of something that the EU has forced upon you that you can now change is proof they didn't force us into those mythical handcuffs.

You mean something written somewhere says it does - but actual farms farming do what the hell they like as there is no proper regulation or inspectorate!!

There is a UK inspectorate. But since GM crops are not grown commercially in the UK, it's probably not that busy.

And 19 EU member states have opted out of commercially cultivating GM crops (including France and Germany).

Because I would rather have get my chicken from a system where biosecurity is enforced throughout, rather than at the end stage of processing - I guess your a vegetarian then because chickens in the UK are contaminated with Campylobacter as well.

I wasn't clear I was pointing out that people are moaning about meat welfare from US when EU has very poor record itself.

And in the EU Jamie.

I've just taken a look at the latest norovirus Westminsterenders thread and wanted to say bravo to the Leavers on there for their valiant posts. Courage mon braves.

Also what a spiffing result on Wednesday

The drinks are on me

Business 'red tape' for starters - If your trying to say the EU doesn't stifle business with red tape then your acting like a chlorinated ostrich with your head in the sand. Is that all you have got?

Plenty of people have given examples about what can change after Brexit, you just don't like their answers. David Cameron went to the EU to get some restrictions on free movement, the EU said NO. Now we are leaving TM has said yes we can. Way to go girl

IS THIS where the banana jokes are coming from ? I didn't see QT last night

"A woman left Question Time viewers hysterical when she declared she voted Brexit because she spotted a straight banana in a supermarket"

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4187602/Question-Time-audience-member-voted-Brexit-banana.html

Not sure how you can infer that I'm a vegetarian because I'd rather get my chicken via a supply chain that works on prevention being better than cure?

If your trying to say the EU doesn't stifle business with red tape then your acting like a chlorinated ostrich with your head in the sand.

Give me some examples then?

The only one I've ever heard on here was to do with restricted working hours for taxi drivers which is actually a very sensible rule.

It doesn't sound irrational to me Semi

What gets me too is the whole "we higher paid folk are doing you all such a favour by being here, and you'll all be sorry if we leave".

There doesn't seem to be any political/economic understanding of how wealth creation works. The view seems to be rich people are creating all the wealth and then, through the generosity of their souls, passing a bit down to the lower beings. Which is not quite how I see it.

The only one I've ever heard on here was to do with restricted working hours for taxi drivers which is actually a very sensible rule.

Even that doesn't exist. The restricted hours are for drivers of large passenger vehicles - large minibuses and buses.
