    Epic Led By Donkeys Stunt Sees Boris Johnson's Past Criticism Of Trump Projected Onto Big Ben






    In the clip, Johnson says: “Donald Trump’s ill-informed comments are complete and utter nonsense. I think he’s betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him frankly unfit to hold the office of President of the United States.


    “I think Donald Trump is clearly out of his mind if he thinks that’s a sensible way to proceed, to ban people going to the United States in that way, or to any country.

    “I would invite him to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city but I don’t want to expose Londoners to the risk to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump.”
    Ouch.

    The Daily Telegraph leads with the fact that Jeremy Corbyn is to address anti-Trump protests. It says Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt accused the Labour leader of trying to hijack the president's visit.
    The Mirror says Mr Trump is not worthy of respect.
    But the Sun says Mr Corbyn's actions are threatening Britain's special relationship with the US, and urges Mr Trump not to rise to the bait of what it calls "infantile, virtue-signalling lefties"

    And a glimpse of the future is offered by the Financial Times. It says a wave of companies are preparing to launch flying taxi services in the next few years, and regulators are rushing to draw up rules.
    The European safety agency says it will examine software, maintenance and noise pollution.
    The paper says firms from Airbus to Uber are developing aircraft which can hop from one building to another, with most hoping that human pilots could soon be replaced by artificial intelligence.

    And if we are going to leave the EU, vital that we establish some sort of new trading arrangement. Exactly the sort of massive ego we need to massage going forward.
    Cousin lives in the US now has dual citizenship. Both her and her husband are staunch Repulicans. They dont like Trump the man but as a leader hes growing the economy, creating jobs, improving education and backing the smorgasboard of security vehicles DEA CIA FBI AFT HS etc. and they love him for that.


    Brexit: NHS could be 'on the table' as part of US trade deal, ambassador says


    Donald Trump's British envoy has sparked fury with claims that access to the NHS would be "on the table" in post-Brexit trade deal with the US.
    Woody Johnson, the US ambassador to the UK, said the "entire economy" would be included in transatlantic negotiations, which could include allowing American private firms to bid for NHS contracts.

    In an interview ahead of Mr Trump's state visit, Mr Johnson said the US was already "looking at all the components of the deal and trying to get everything lined up so when the time comes we’re ready to go".



    Asked if healthcare would be part of the deal, he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I think probably the entire economy, in a trade deal all things that are traded will be on the table."

    Mr Johnson also said chlorinated chicken - which is permitted under American regulations but banned in the EU - was "completely safe".

    Chlorinated chicken: ‘Dangerous’ practices at major US plant stoke fears of contaminated food in UK after Brexit
    Channel 4’s ‘Dispatches’ exposes danger of cross-contamination with deadly bacteria – because of poor standards outlawed by EU membership


    The undercover probe by Channel 4 laid bare the danger of cross-contamination with the deadly bacteria salmonella and campylobacter, because of poor standards outlawed by the EU.



    Nevertheless, the US has made clear it will demand the UK accept chemical-washed poultry in any trade deal – and Liam Fox, the international trade secretary, has suggested a ban will be impossible.


    * Piles of chicken left on conveyor belts for long periods of time, at the risk of cross contamination.

    * Boxes of chicken stacked on top of each other – which could also cause cross-contamination.
    * Workers touching raw chicken with bare hands – while one cleared drains with gloved hands, merely washing the gloves before going back to touching raw chicken.
    * Drains blocked with chicken – while pieces of and innards lay on the floor and water leaked from machinery.

    * Flooded and broken floors where “bacteria could breed”, an EU meat safety expert warned.
    * A worker having three fingers amputated, after being asked to operate a machine they had not been trained to use.

    Brexiters beware: Donald Trump will trample all over our sovereignty

    The US president’s willingness to intervene in our politics and the targeting of the NHS by US business should serve as a warning

    Pools of water were left all over the floor

    Lets be honest here neither can afford to be independent.

    If they want it let them have it, no more earn it in England spend it in Scotland, no more me or 3 million other visitors spending our money in Wales and I live half my life there at my caravan but I can always relocate to an English resort.

    Immediate candidates for an E U bailout because theres zero economy to grow, apart from tourism and lets be honest If I have to through the rigmarole of passports and euros and a 5+ hour journey, I'm probably going to take a cheap flight to the sun rather than Edinburgh or the Highlands




    Brexit: No-deal could be used as 'weapon for breaking up UK', says Fox




    One of the main concerns raised by critics of a no-deal Brexit is the risk that a hard border might return between Northern Ireland and Ireland.
    This would see checks take place on both people and goods, and some fear that would put the peace process at risk.
    When asked if he believed a no-deal would lead to a border, Mr Fox warned some could abuse it for their own gains.
    He told Today: "The prospect of a no-deal might well be used by those who seek to break up the United Kingdom, to use that as a weapon in that particular battle, both I think in Northern Ireland and potentially in Scotland."

    I think the point you are missing is that lower standards are allowed in the USA.

    Chlorine washing is meant to counteract these lower standards.

    The fact that a UK factory is breaching EU standards is criminal, but is not an argument.

    Two wrongs don't make a right.

    American food standards like chlorine washed chicken, and hormone fed beef, are unacceptable to the EU, as are chickens that are processed illegally in the UK.

    I didn't say it was an EU conspiracy,my point is you've highlighted 'chlorinated chicken' as a threat to a post brexit UK. When in fact,as I've already mentioned,we are in as much danger from our own dubious standards currently being used in this country and beyond by our EU partners.Perhaps we should first get our own house in order before preaching to others.

    Nevertheless, the US has made clear it will demand the UK accept chemical-washed poultry in any trade deal – and Liam Fox, the international trade secretary, has suggested a ban will be impossible.


    * Piles of chicken left on conveyor belts for long periods of time, at the risk of cross contamination.

    * Boxes of chicken stacked on top of each other – which could also cause cross-contamination.
    * Workers touching raw chicken with bare hands – while one cleared drains with gloved hands, merely washing the gloves before going back to touching raw chicken.
    * Drains blocked with chicken – while pieces of and innards lay on the floor and water leaked from machinery.

    * Flooded and broken floors where “bacteria could breed”, an EU meat safety expert warned.
    * A worker having three fingers amputated, after being asked to operate a machine they had not been trained to use.

    Brexit: The Hidden Danger of Chlorinated Chicken. With Stephen Fry



    I think the point you are missing is that lower standards are allowed in the USA.

    Chlorine washing is meant to counteract these lower standards.

    The fact that a UK factory is breaching EU standards is criminal, but is not an argument.

    Two wrongs don't make a right.

    American food standards like chlorine washed chicken, and hormone fed beef, are unacceptable to the EU, as are chickens that are processed illegally in the UK.


    Good to see the EU always keeping to their strict standards...
    This was an EU conspiracy?
    I didn't say it was an EU conspiracy,my point is you've highlighted 'chlorinated chicken' as a threat to a post brexit UK. When in fact,as I've already mentioned,we are in as much danger from our own dubious standards currently being used in this country and beyond by our EU partners.Perhaps we should first get our own house in order before preaching to others.
    I worry about you sometimes.

    The horsemeat scandal was perpetrated by criminals that were breaking the law.
    You cant just blame the EU for every crime committed in Europe.
    The difference is that the USA have much lower standards regarding food.
    The reason they chlorine wash chicken is because it is processed to a much lower standard, than that which is acceptable to the EU.
    Hormone fed beef is not appetising for me.
    Any trade deal with the USA, will involve us accepting these lower standards, and Americans firms getting involved with the NHS.

    So leaving the EU, and doing a trade deal with the USA means we accept lower standards, and limit our trade with the EU.

    Brexit: NHS could be 'on the table' as part of US trade deal, ambassador says


    Donald Trump's British envoy has sparked fury with claims that access to the NHS would be "on the table" in post-Brexit trade deal with the US.
    Woody Johnson, the US ambassador to the UK, said the "entire economy" would be included in transatlantic negotiations, which could include allowing American private firms to bid for NHS contracts.

    In an interview ahead of Mr Trump's state visit, Mr Johnson said the US was already "looking at all the components of the deal and trying to get everything lined up so when the time comes we’re ready to go".



    Asked if healthcare would be part of the deal, he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "I think probably the entire economy, in a trade deal all things that are traded will be on the table."

    Mr Johnson also said chlorinated chicken - which is permitted under American regulations but banned in the EU - was "completely safe".

    There's no need to worry about me,thank you.
    You can't blame brexit for every problem/difficult situation that happens in the country.
    My original point was that you're concerning yourself with America's food hygiene standard,when it's been proven time and time again that our own standards fall way short what's deemed acceptable. Have a read up about '2 Sisters Food Group' to see how just one of many British companies continued to flout EU laws and supply chicken to the public which could've done with a good 'chlorine wash'.

    These are the facts.

    The EU have passed legislation to protect consumers.

    Each individual member country is responsible, for enforcing its laws.

    There is not an EU police force.

    I am not blaming Brexit for every problem that we have, only the problems that Brexit will cause.

    You cant blame the EU for UK companies flouting the law.

    The EU set fairly high standards when it comes to food. American standards are much lower in comparison.

    Future trade will the EU will involve our alignment with their standards. The day we start importing inferior standard food from the USA, this trade will stop. That is a fact.

    You seem to be confused.

    The EU set standards that we have to comply with.

    The EU do not allow imports of chlorine washed chicken, hormone fed beef, or GM crops.

    These are examples of what the Americans want to sell us post Brexit.
