The president is primarily here to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-day and we should use this occasion to stand together, remember the dead and honour the living. As for food standards, can we not choose what we buy? Are we all so soft on the head that we can’t decide what meat we put in our shopping baskets?
Sky Go I’m surprised – so many of us go on holiday to the States, eating US produce while they are over there; but I’ve heard no one complain or not go back. Sounds like the SNP want to stir things up for political reasons.
