Look at the diseases in the US food your Tory government wants you to eat
Yummy yummy diseases for your tummy: a chlorinated, antibiotic-fed chicken. It may well be full of salmonella, e.coli and excrement but your Tory government will be demanding that you eat it if it signs a trade deal with the United States.
Channel 4’s Dispatches has highlighted the danger into which Boris Johnson’s Tory government will force us, if it is allowed to make a trade deal that will kill UK farming and force us to eat chlorinated chicken and other diseased foods from the United States.
This Site told you on Tuesday (October 13) that the government has rejected calls to enshrine high food standards in law, saying it is enough that Tory ministers have said they will demand such standards in any trade negotiations with foreign nations.
These are the same Tory ministers who supported Johnson’s EU Withdrawal Agreement to the hilt in January, and now say that it is no good and they support breaking international law – turning the UK into a criminal state – instead, so their word is worth less than nothing; it is a promise of betrayal.
Dispatches has shown us what it will mean if we allow food into the UK from the United States:
It’s incredible isn’t it? Our Government wants to sell out our food & farming to the USA. But the US might not sign a deal because we’re breaking the GFA. So we’re relying on the US government being more moral then ours? #r4today #AgricultureBill https://t.co/Skon5P2OGb

Yes, you heard it correctly: the Americans would sell us meat that has animal excrement in it.
And yes: the diseases carried in this US meat would cause serious problems to people with long-term ill-health, meaning the Tories would be creating another opportunity to quietly kill off many thousands more people with long-term illnesses and disabilities and wipe them from the benefits bill.
Apparently somebody spoke up on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, demanding that the Tory government legislate for higher food standards.
But I fear this Twitter user has drawn the right conclusion:
“Say it. Mean it. Put it down in legislation.” Sharp message from @Minette_Batters urging govt to protect our food safety and welfare standards.
Problem is they said it, but they never meant it. So they’ll vote against it. Their loyalty lies with the US rather than us.#r4today

That is my feeling, too: Boris Johnson’s loyalty lies with the US rather than with us.
