Meh, it's only their own citizens that are starving - they should think of their current shit performance and what to do to win hte next election - With this showing, they have GOT to be out.
Idiots.
The irony is, because of foot and mouth British Beef now has to adhere to very rigorous specifications, including how they are kept, what they are fed, the conditions, etc. etc. etc., and a lot of countries, in fact the majority of countries are now worse than us for the care of their beef.
More beef for me
Mind you unless they've improved dramatically in the last few years I suspect the people of New Orleans have had a narrow escape.
british beef is safer than sex.
That's as may be, but its still banned in the US (and plenty of other countries) and if they had distributed it they'd be breaking the law and risking being sued. Given they didn't need it why take the chance?
Not if I can eat it first!
Mmm... beef...
Because its a nice way to keep protectionist policies in place while not actually appearing to illegally protect your own markets.
Such bans come down to economics and protecting one's own industry first. I'm certain countries like France and the US know British meat is perfectly safe (and of outstanding quality I daresay). But they'll try to keep the ban for as long as they can get away with it.
