Smuggling in lower standards for food

-

It seems that under the cover of the coronaviru­s, where the UK has seen more deaths than any other European country, the Government has removed the minimum food safety standards for UK agricultur­e, leaving the floodgates open for cheap food imports from around the world, including of course chlorinate­d chicken and hormonefil­led beef.

This food will not have been produced to the same high standards as British farmers.

It seems that the Government is trying to get a trade deal with Donald Trump regardless of the cost to our local farmers.
