RJRB 688 #3578 Posted March 2, 2019 It comes as no surprise,but a former aide to TM says that she sees no economic upside to Brexit,and her aim is damage limitation. It would seem that Johnson is also seeking damage limitation to his waning political career by keeping a low profile. We might yet get the softest of Brexits,and I hope this will be the case. It will still be damaging to our economy,our reputation and our place on the world stage,so an even better result would be a second referendum which overturns the 2016 result.

I’m very much in the remain camp but I fear a second referendum won’t sort problems out. If it’s a three question one (remain, Mays deal, no deal) the vote will be split and none of them will have a thwacking great majority needed to put this particular political dog to sleep. So the argument will just start again and again. Soft brexit or a leader with the balls to say “**** this, it’s stupid, we’re staying in!” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It’s not the chlorination that is the problem ,it’s the fact that it is necessary in the US due to lower standards of animal welfare and husbandry. I am not sure that you can ill treat fruit and veg. Also check out use of antibiotics in the US meat production,which is heavily criticised for obvious reasons by WHO.
