For instance, in livestock farming UK farmers have to comply with
welfare standards (quite right too) and have to abide by identification
rules (every cow and bull has to have an individual passport so the meat
on your table is traceable back to an individual animal. This ensures a
high quality product but the costs are massive. There are many countries
in the world where animal welfare is virtually non existent (and where
BSE or poultry diseases, for instance, are rampant) and where the
farmers receive very large subsidies from their government. This allows
them to flood our market with sub standard food.



No it doesn't.
We won't allow just any old disease ridden food into the country.


Your faith in our "import controls" is touching but misguided. Ask
yourself, for instance, why you can still buy Argentinian beef when BSE
is endemic in that country and they have few of the controls implemented
here "to protect the consumer".

Wow. This post has exploded.

I do see your point. Perhaps it is selfish to bitch and moan about the
weather when so many depend on it.


Not selfish - just... fun.
