Chlorinated Chicken Is Back and Starmer Is Letting It Happen

December 30, 2025

Oh God! We beseech Thee to spare us the pain of Farage as our prime minister. The man has already done untold damage to the British economy with his ridiculous Brexit. Please don't let him finish the job and totally destroy it.

Moreover, let Americans enjoy their inferior quality foodstuffs, their chlorinated chicken and their hormone-injected beef. WE DON’T WANT THEM.

Starmer needs to grow a backbone and stop pandering to the Orange One. That goes for our royal family too. We Brits are Europeans, and our place is in Europe. We should also be able to enjoy the wonderful array of European foodstuffs. If we take just cheese alone, the variety of European cheeses can be counted in the several thousands. France alone produces nearly 1,800 cheese varieties. America simply cannot compete. For the gourmet, it has to be Europe, not America. — © Mark Alexander

Joe Biden has shelved plans for a pact with Britain that could have paved the way for a full post-Brexit trade deal.

The US president has decided not to move forward with a “foundational” agreement prepared by the US Trade Representative’s Office, that would have included negotiations over 11 areas of trade and regulation, following opposition from his own party in the Senate.

Senate Democrats argued that it would not have provided sufficient protection for American workers, Politico reported.

The UK’s hopes for a free trade agreement (FTA) with the US date from before the Brexit referendum, and faced an early setback when Barack Obama told voters that Britain would be “at the back of the queue” for a deal if it left the EU.

But despite US support for an FTA in the early days of Donald Trump’s presidency in 2016, the chance of a deal has now fallen to “zero” under Mr Biden, the Government believes. » | Tony Diver, US Editor | Monday, December 18, 2023
