    The genetically modified horse will help the UK against the race with the EU "IN ALL SPECTRUMS" so it is a good thing.

    The Korea deal is a continuity deal, i.e. replicating the existing EU-Korea agreement. Ain't Brexit great ;)

    Sure, Malaysia wants a deal. They're desperate for one...because the EU is rightly planning to impose a ban on palm oil, due to plantations wiping out large swathes of Southeast Asian rain forest.

    https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/southeast-asia/article/3023396/malaysia-dangles-post-brexit-trade-deal-front-britain-if

    But they don't seem bothered about doing a deal with Argentina to buy large quantities of beef, production of which is also devastating for the environment.

    It's also worth pointing out that Malaysia has legislated to preserve a minimum of 50% of its landmass as virgin jungle.

    The EU proposal seems to have more to do with protecting Hungarian and Romanian sunflower oil producers than the environment.
    The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists.

    a) a 'can do' attitude
    b) a lot of oomph
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Reread my post

    "UK is already superior than any other EU countries in horse race, in olympic game. With genetically modified horse it is even better"

    I said horse racing, I did not say "Equestrian Sport"

    I love the quotation from Margaret Thatcher

    "Defeat ? I do not recognise the meaning of the word!

    This is the Lady who should be leading the Brexit negotiation. It is not like Teresa May. No wander She has been voted as the worst PM in the British History. In some "The Standard" article, some people have mentioned she might have committed a treason btu this will still need a public enquiry.

    I suppose I should point out that Thatcher is dead.


    But in a minute, you've be telling me that "This is the Lady who should be leading the Brexit negotiation." means something else & moving the goal posts again.

    Well, you will need to keep moving, adapt with the new environment as otherwise, you will be left behind.

    This is a very basic thing of survival.

    Hmmm...quite a bit of abuse from the forum brexiteers lately. :think:
    Could it be because they're feeling their beloved brexit is slowly but surely slipping away? :wave:

    No abuse there mate.

    Horses? From the EU?

    Horses from the EU? Neigh I hear you say:(
    The 2013 horse meat scandal was a scandal in parts of Europe in which foods advertised as containing beef were found to contain undeclared or improperly declared horse meat – as much as 100% of the meat content in some cases. A smaller number of products also contained other undeclared meats, such as pork. The issue came to light on 15 January 2013, when it was reported that horse DNA had been discovered in frozen beefburgers sold in several Irish and British supermarkets.
    • Comigel HQ in Metz, north-east France, asks its subsidiary, Tavola in Luxembourg, to make food products - including beef lasagne for Findus.
    • Factory orders meat
    • The Tavola factory orders the meat from Spanghero in the south of France.
    • Subcontractor used
    • Spanghero contacts a subcontractor in Cyprus to source the meat.
    • Subcontractor enlists trader
    • The Cypriot subcontractor in turn contacts a trader in the Netherlands.
    • Trader orders from Romania
    • The trader in the Netherlands places an order for meat with abattoirs in Romania.
    • Abattoirs send meat to France
    • The meat from the abattoirs travels to Spanghero in France. However, Romania rejects claims that it was responsible for wrongly describing the horsemeat from its abattoirs as beef. Horsemeat is always labelled as such, they say. The Romanian authorities claim records show orders had been for horse carcass - easily distinguishable from beef.
    • Meat used to make products
    • Spanghero sends the meat to the Comigel subsidiary’s factory in Luxembourg before the finished products are supplied to Findus and retailers across Europe, including the UK. The president of Comigel says the company was unaware the meat was coming from abroad.
    • Horsemeat found in Ireland and UK

    Experts say the scandal has highlighted the complexity of the food industry's supply chains across Europe.

    Good old EU:T:T
