Cut trade obstacles to solve these problems

CLASSICAL Liberals, like myself, advocate low taxes, light-touch regulation and free trade to boost global production and employ- ment.

Why then are ‘Border disputes’ ham- pering supply chains and creating shortages, with their subsequent raw material price increases?

On a brief shop just now, there was no pasta or taramasalata. In addition, I am tired, as a consumer, of being told that I am not free to choose chlorine-treated poultry from the US just because my Nanny State thinks that I cannot act rationally. I don’t care if Spanish chorizo is stored in Kryptonite as long it is competitively priced and safe to eat (consumer choices should be exactly that).

We need a consensus on a Bonfire of Regulations to alleviate trade obstacles. A supermarket shop these days is comparable to a food queue in Havana, Cuba.

Llanishen, Cardiff satanic Hades, involving decapitation and skinning, described as the stuff of nightmares. They are often killed in front of each other, and their psychological distress is unimaginable.

It is bad enough to turn a horse into meat, and physical torment on top is not acceptable. These equines are often on death row, smelling the slaughter, for up to a week. To inflict the fires of hell on a loved animal is truly wicked and must stop now.

Animal Aid has a campaign film and essential information (animalaid.org.uk/horse-slaughterinvestigation) which is important so this suffering can end. This is particularly important in this postCovid age, if we seriously expect to avoid a new pandemic.

With God on our side, we will defeat this barbaric practice, and live in a happier world.
