Also, we don't eat breast milk ice cream and placenta. Our food is better than yours. End of story. AND, Tea sucks.

Why are you doomed to have tainted food if you pull out of Brexit ?

If the UK is overpopulated, why are you guys continuing to bring in immigrants, that doesn't make sense.

I think you mean pull out of the EU. Pulling out of Brexit would be great IMO.

1. Because we could end up getting more of our food from countries like yours with much lower standards of food production.

2. Because we have low unemployment and labour/skill shortages in many industries.

1. You can fully control your own food standards even after pulling out of the EU. In fact, if you are so concerned about US food, you could help everyone by just not buying from us. We'd have to change end product or lose out.

2. Unemployment rates are crap. Employment rates are more telling.
UK total workers 32.4M, population 65.6...………... 32.4/65.6= 49.3%
US employment rate is 60.8%

You might want to reconsider bringing folks in.

Really Carlus?
That method takes no account of those retired, too young or not looking for work (housewives etc).
From your link

The unemployment rate (the number of unemployed people as a proportion of all employed and unemployed people) was 4.1%, slightly higher than for April to June 2018 but lower than for a year earlier (4.3%).

McDonald's, Leicester Square, London

Exactly, we are becoming fatter due to importing your shitty eating habits.

[C-Mag]

Here's some countries that don't have McDonalds...……… you should definitely do whatever they are doing

Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bhutan, Botswana, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Dominica, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia




As shitty as McDonalds is, it's a massive nutritional boost at low cost for many nations in the world. Also, no one forces anyone to go to McDonalds. It's still a personal choice.

Yeah, 'cos advertising, Americanisation of our culture and low prices have nothing to do with it.
Getting a bit too off topic now.

Brexit will mean that food imports no longer have to meet EU standards and lower prices from abroad (globalisation) will do the rest.

Well, we revolted violently when we were under the thumb of Global Mercantilists rather than be forced to buy goods through the crown. I submit you could do the same.

If the UK is so concerned about food quality perhaps they could take control of their own food standards ? Not rely on the EU ?

Absolutely...…….. it is the rate that better describes how many people your society and working people have to provide for. When you get under 50%, you are getting into trouble, because you have more people as non producers, than those providing for society. Healthy societies are at or above 70%

I fear that without EU regulations, on many things, that ''free markets'' ie money, will set the standards. This is why I support a tax on pollution and regulations on things like plastic straws. I don't think people will act against their own financial self-interests for the benefit of all if left to choose by themselves.
If you didn't have to comply with regulations to ensure your car is safe to drive would you keep it up to the standards necessary to comply with those regulations anyway? Would you find the money needed to do it if you were struggling for cash or would you just risk your own safety and that of others because no one forced you to and there were no penalties for not doing it?
