Personally, I'd not bother eating it but I do not see why I am not allowed the courtesy to fucking choose not to buy it if it is being sold in the supermarket. Label it as chlorinated and let the people decide FFS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the point is the US will also insist on a roll back of food labelling so it will be hard to identify where US meat has been used especially in pre-prepared food and in the catering sector. People who purchase by price will be most vulnerable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 18,967 Posted June 16, 2020 Soo, a few months ago wasn't it Matt Hancock or some other bugger in the Government who was asking footballers to put their hands in their pockets and support their communities? Then some kickabout player Rashford weighs in and gets the Government to put their hands on their magic money tree to provide school meals to English kids over the summer! Ah, sweet reversal of fortune! (Well that and Scotland and Wales were going to do it anyway!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 12,065 Posted June 16, 2020 Yet another time where Big Job has to be shamed into doing the right thing, but it’s really quite a crushing feeling that we now are forced as a nation to put across a moral argument for feeding children. So he doesn’t just look like a prick, he looks like a limp, impotent prick. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gooseberry Crumble 5,204 Posted June 17, 2020 What is all this talk about blowjobs being 50p?? Blowjobs have not been 50p (or anything like that!)in years. For that to happen in recent times would either require a scam by a customer or a sex worker getting tipsy and then going back and forth in a tardis and getting very confused about what time and era they were in!

It was a joke on the thread of LFN's cottaging reference - it's less funny if you explain it..... At 50p (the cost of a public toilet if you really have nowhere else to meet) being cheaper than the club (£3.00-5.00 on the door or £3.00-£5.00 for at least one drink) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TQR 12,065 Posted June 17, 2020 Anyone worrying about post-Brexit trade - don’t! We’ve got a potential free trade deal with Australia, worth a mighty £1bn. It is worth £291bn less than the free trade we did with the EU, but we will get cheap Shiraz, Tim Tams and fucking Vegemite, all with just 11,000 air miles on it. Thank you, Prime Ministers Johnson and Morrison. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
