It was such an important deal, but what with Xmas and a nativity play, just didn't have time to give it a look https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/boris-johnson-victoria-prentis-fisheries-brexit-deal-nativity-b892200.html Dashcam told us that the UK government would be getting to scrutinise the deal, whereas the EU was undemocratic and MEPs didn't get a say. Yet it's quite clear that the European Parliament is getting far more say than the Westminster Parliament got... https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/uk-eu-agreement-parliament/ Just demonstrates how the British public has even less sovereignty than before, despite what the Brexiteers seem to have convinced themselves.

Staggering . The UK isn't the club anymore, so they can make whatever rules they like and the UK has to conform if it wants to export there. Mealworms aren't really my thing, but they eat weirder things elsewhere in the world and people seem to survive. Edited January 14 by Humphrey Appleby Share this post Link to post

It doesnt quite work like that. If mealworms doesnt pass UK standard tests they wont be imported here for human consumption. Share this post Link to post

What are you on about? We're talking about you complaining about EU food standards, which is irrelevant if the UK wants to export there. 2 Share this post Link to post
