What MP is part owner of the pesticide company I wonder.
Thus reducing their ability even further to sell to the EU. Way to go boys.
Obviously. Lowering regulations was one of the points of brexit.
The war on bees must continue by any means necessary!
…as predicted and dismissed with a “project fear!!1!!” every time.
This is kind of similar to when your kids move out and use their freedom to live off McDonald’s.
It is our right enshrined in Magna Carta (if you squint from far away) to speed up the elimination of all species including ourselves. Brexiters fantasise that they personally fought and died in two world wars for this.
Boy between this and the chlorinated chicken you’re always going on about you guys really seem to have screwed yourselves
Despite the certain knowledge that we are fucking up the entire planet, there are people who put a lot of energy into finding ways to accelerate the process. Are they actually evil? I never really bought into the concept of evil but there’s not many other explanations.
I kind of get the choice argument, which isn’t the same as agreeing, but labelling would be nice. OTOH having cheaper and less safe food labelled *UK standard* and more expensive labelled *European Standard* would probably be a little too blunt and honest a message to live with.
That’s going to make the Irish border situation much easier.
I’m sure I remember someone – maybe even Johnson – saying how leaving the EU would allow us to create even better environmental standards.
Obviously didn’t believe a word of it at the time, because this was exactly what I expected.
1. Make people ill and/or harm the environment by using pesticides deemed harmful.
2. Guarantee things grown here cannot be sold to EU countries.
3. Make British consumers fearful of consuming home-grown vegetables perhaps leading to even more harm to our farmers even if they choose not to use these pesticides.
Seems like the perfect Brexit trifecta to me. I expect it’ll go through with several rubber stamps.
Ban the Tory party be better for your living standards
When you move out of your parents house because they wouldn’t let you take a bath with the toaster.
All this will do is to harm UK environment and people and limit where produce can be sold. It’s a very stupid policy change.
Already happening, noticed last week that my Clementine’s from Asda had Tiabendazole which was banned a few years back in the EU. They also had Imazalil which is tightly controlled and facing a ban soon
NO PLEASE!! We don’t want that shit in our country! Let Americans enjoy those pesticides and affect their health. We don’t want that shit here!
We don’t want shitty poisoned American produce happening in our country please!!
Can’t wait to taste that lovely chemical sovereignty
I’m awaiting the mental gymnastics from the usual crowd where opposing the move to un-ban questionable pesticides means you “hate Britain”
Oh the joys of deregulation. All that expensive health and safety equipment will be next. We can’t have anything eating into the profits can we?
Of course they flipping do.
I’d rather they just get it over with, and we just have all our food swapped out for nutrition pills because its cheaper and once a year were all called up for “Brexit public service” which consists of everyone in the country being summoned to be shagged up the arse by which ever MP choices your number from a giant bingo ball. While a hologram of the queen is projected from Big Ben which periodically reminds you “to be British is to know your place, and take it with a stiff upper lip”
The taste of freedom now includes pesticides and stomach ulcers. Mmmm
Ireland will take your refugee bees and wasps, no passports required, just usher them across like your financial institutions
may as well, we’re going backwards now in this country.
we think we’re world leaders, but we’re far from that.
the world laughs at us, and our fatfuck dumb leader.
get a grip, rejoin the EU and work together to earn respect.
Do that, and as a Scottish person who voted remain last time, I’m voting leave. Probably am anyway to be honest though.
This is what it was for. Cutting inconvenient red tape so their donors can made more money.
Apparently nobody in here read the article, classic Reddit.
Like it isn’t already hard enough to export to Europe…
Saying ‘UK’ considers this implies it’s not a very small number of ruling elite assholes who are actually considering this. Of fucking course we don’t want banned substances on our food, just like we didn’t want raw sewerage dumped into our fresh water, or fracking, or any number of other terrible ideas this Tory government relentlessly pursue for the sake of making a few extra quid.
I remember thinking people screeching about Brexit being good because it hands power back to our government.
Yes. Let’s hand more power to the Tory government. Great idea, I’m sure they will use that to benefit the idiots who voted for it and not themselves and their rich buddies.
How do the ‘patriots’ deflect this one? ‘Your just jealous you didn’t think of it first’ or ‘actually like the bees are like way happier since Brexit and theirs like way too many of them’.
I’m so fucking embarrassed to be British sometimes.
Surely everyone knew this was coming? After Brexit it will be a race to the bottom on rights and standards. The Tories will keep lying to us and doubling down everytime they get caught.
Considers? This was always going to happen. It’s only the whole point in brexit, not that anyone voting for brexit would listen.
This country’s effort to lose credibility on the goal of common good is insane
Nice one guys! One step closer the to US every day 🙂
This stinks of Rees-Mogg, fucking over his nodding fools that support him in his own rural constituency.
There is much stupidity going on here (and in general) about the use of glyphosphate. It is now being used and will be until at least 2025. It is legal to use in your garden and will remain so indefinitely. Farmers are opposed to banning it because it will cause massive increases in food prices and wage bills by 46%. If you are genuinely interested in the paucity of information around a ban, more an opposed exchange between two lobbies, this is the best paper available for free. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5972398/
Wonder if anyone here has actually read the article. At no point does it say we are considering it, only that no decision has been made. Imagine if an article was written by the daily mail going against a topic that is supported by the zeitgeist on here with the only evidence being ‘no decision has been made’…

Interesting to hear the [views of a farmer](https://youtu.be/QJz5OUJ4l2E) when the EU voted to ban chlorothalonil. As he mentions, one issue with the ban is that it increases the risk of resistance to other fungicides. Apparently the loss of chlorothalonil causes a problem for [barley and wheat growers](https://www.nfus.org.uk/news/news/plant-protection-blow-for-scottish-growers). At a a time when wheat prices are [hitting new highs](https://twitter.com/FinancialTimes/status/1500517091790753793) perhaps now is not the best time to be limiting farmers’ ability to grow food.
Of course they flipping do.
