    He has the conscience of a Dalek and genuinely doesn't care - its still beyond my understanding how anyone could on one hand say they cant vote for a Party with Corbyn in charge but then vote for the one with him in - but what do I know about the British electorate - I clearly over estimated about 40% of them.

    On another note I see that Brexit is done on Jan 31 and the ensuing **** show is going to be called something else so he can continue with the pantomime that he got Brexit done. Maybe we can just quietly extend the transition period by a few years and hope no one notices (in my dreams that is)

    I suggest you Google the growth hormone 'Flexx' for beef and Ractopamine for pigs. The latter has been flagged by the US drug authority as potentially carcinogenic. Also dairy cattle are kept in 5 acre sheds like battery hens which can give the cows mastitis which infects the milk. The infected milk is allowed into US dairy products. All these practices are currently illegal in the EU and UK. But us accepting them will be up for grabs with Bojo and Trumps trade deal.

    And our farmers will have to copy/change that way to exist. It's not just the use of chlorine washing with the chicken either, it's the way they have to use the method to make it safe for consumption due to how badly the chickens are reared.

    Wouldn’t anybody? The guy has just pulled a big majority from what should have been a slaughter, therefore Corbyn is an irrelevance why get sucked in?

    The problem with chlorine-washed chicken is not the chlorine, but the pus they wash off with the chlorine - oh, and the significantly greater incidence of food poisoning - living in America, you are ten times more likely to suffer from salmonella than in the UK,

    Which, if the UK ends up with increased food poisoning on that scale, would add an estimated £1bn cost to the NHS*. For that reason alone, you'd expect Johnson and crew to stand firm against any suggestion of lowering our food hygiene standards.

    If you look at the polls Johnson was popular and Corbyn very unpopular, but curiously voters trusted Johnson LESS than they did Corbyn. Turns out people don't mind being lied to, as long as they like the person telling the lies.

    The working class who voted Tory "only voted for Brexit, nothing else" Nothing else is exactly what they’ll get.

    That's kind of what I don't get . People seem to think that because there's a Parliament full of tories everyone's going to get what they want . They have the control to leave the EU politically which I think will happen on the 31st of jan , but from a day to day you won't notice any difference . We ll just be like Norway . The actual trade deal is a completely different matter .Countries like France are sovereign entities , the tories can't make them do anything and nor do countries like France have any incentive to help us in any trade deal especially if it's to the determent of their own citizens . Long term this large Tory majority might not be a bad thing because it guarantee s the tories will own brexit 100% .
