The Government are using the crisis to pass bills in Parliament without the media batting an eye-lid. This week MPs voted against an amendment to help protect animal welfare and environmental protection which opens the floodgates to chlorinated chicken, hormone beef and it will lower animal welfare standards as well in this country.

Also the Scottish Tories have thrown the Scottish farmers under the bus as well.

What does this tell us?

It tells us the tory flannel about "taking back control" and having higher standards than the EU were lies. They mean us to be a dumping ground for cheap shite, irrespective of what that does to our farmers. And also that it shows that the government are true fanatics and have told lie after lie to us about their intentions. They are in the process of shafting all UK workers in the name of a mad experiment in unilateral, unfettered, free market capitalism.

30 tory MPs voted against. Normally that might be enough to have derailed it, but the new tory voters in the north have given these absolute xxxx carte blanche.
