Can I just say, apart from article 50 being invoked, some childish comments, blustering and hot air, b*gger all has changed!! |

There are very many good things about the UK. There are some marvellous things. |

As a mere mortal, I have no seeing eye into the future, but I do know that if Rollo ever says anything remotely positive about the UK future hell will freeze over! |

Caroline should look up what the EU directives mean by "third countries". |

Kense are you really expecting everything to grind to a halt because of Brexit? I don't know exactly what the future will bring any more than you do, but I do know there will still be laws and regulations. What makes anyone so sure those laws and regulations will be worse than before Brexit? |

As one who has taken pigs to a slaughterhouse it was not a nice experience. That started in the holding yards where animals were clearly distressed. (That was in Cambridgeshire) |

We used to have inspectors - Food Safety Inspectors - who regularly turned up at abattoirs/restaurants etc to check cleanliness/safety/correct procedures were in place, but funding for Health & Safety was cut by over a third in 2014/2015, and the focus was moved to inspecting 'high risk' sites, such as energy, nuclear sites and chemical industries. |

Minimal sentences handed out to miserable miscreants who abuse any animal rarely deter further maltreatment. |

Caroline, do you really think that businesses put all that money into the Brexit campaign in order to have tougher regulations? |

Blind trust is rarely repaid best to do a little checking. Supermarkets do not have an outstanding record. |

I thought the CCTV was to stop cruelty, not safety as such? |

Well surely that is the same with all food. We have to trust that we are not being misled |

Well, I made a cheese omelette French style for breakfast, lots of fresh eggs, mushroom and grated cheddar stuffing, runny middle. Cooked in butter. Under 5 min yummy. |

In Ireland, a bad egg is sometimes referred to as a 'glugger' - rotten. |

For years we've tried, when ever possible, to buy UK grown/bred labelled produce. |

Well if nothing else Brexit will force people to cook from scratch good not a problem they should more often anyway. |

Rollo in reply to your comment: "It really makes no difference whether you buy the eggs whole or as an ingredient in a product fipronil is bad news" |

The Dutch for many years have operated a heavy duty ag industry based on their access to v cheap natural gas. Unfortunately there have been predictable events. Chief of these has been pollution of rivers and ground water and a series of animal health issues mainly affecting poultry of which the Chickfriend scandal is the latest. Dairy farmers have been forced to downsize forcing some into bankruptcy leaving nearly new milking parlors unused. |
