Foot & Mouth & the EU?

Question

I see that just after the EU has lifted a ban on British meat exports yet another case of Foot and Mouth is found. Strange isn't it? I suspect that this is in reprisals for us winning th right to keep Imperial measure and also to keep our farmers from being profitable, something that the labour party love as they have no support in the country. Anyone else agree that this looks like another EU inspired attack on our farmers probably brought over on one of the continental trucks that seem to be everywhere these days.

Answer 1

Funny you should think that.........EU officials last night confirmed that Britain's multi-billion pound farm rebate - won by Margaret Thatcher in 1984 - was back on the agenda. (surprise surprise!!)

European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso, who is overhauling the EU's widely criticised annual budget, told reporters there would be "no taboos". (mmmmmm)

His comments will raise fears that Brussels is once again attempting to launch an assault on the rebate.

A little persuasion?

Answer 2

maybe the farmers aren't doing enough. ireland is keeping imperial measures too but the EU haven't poisoned any of our cows. stop being paranoid leave conspiracy theories to the americans

Answer 3

oh sorry i thought you were talking about  BUSH and BROWN.   i doubt it is an attack , i think it is wishful thinking and incompetant farming procedures
