OT: The sooner we're out.....

Employers pay what they can away with.

They aren't EU laws. The EU makes directives they are turned into UK laws by Parliament. Canceling all laws that initially were directives would result in a total mess. If you can't understand that you shouldn't be making comments on the subject unless you want to be laughed at.

No

But to listen to the people ranting about waste, you'd easily come to the conclusion that the other stuff is thrown away and doesn't even go to a processed food factory.

I was watching a program only last week about how we no longer eat offal and the presenter was repeatedly saying that "this bit gets wasted and thrown away" and I was shouting at my TV - "surely it all goes to the dog/cat food factory!"

when I was in China I bought some chicken in the supermarket to cook

I discovered that Chicken breast has a taste!

Of course things get thrown away. Once anything has reached its sell by date in a supermarket. They're not going to pay to send it somewhere useful when it has no value. But that has nothing to do with appearance.

Dunno. Many seem to want their pets to have what they eat themselves.

Exactly. Which automatically ends up as a fair price. If I can get a job in 3 companies, then the one I'm in has to pay me enough to stop me leaving. If I'm not able to get a different job, I'm not worth the extra money. Supply and demand.

Yeah right, we just sucked up all the directives of our own accord and would have made those laws anyway. Utter bullshit. The EU force or pressurise member countries to obey their silly little rules. It would be very easy to just cancel everything the EU has given us, we would then be operating under the UK laws we had before we joined, which worked out just fine then, so will do now.

They plough in a lot of unsaleable parsnips &c. I think the problem is that someone has to sort the ugly veg from the rotten veg and that makes it too expensive to send it to food companies for soup &c. Or maybe there just isn't enough demand for veg for factory processing.

There are a substantial number of people who can only earn a minimum legal salary or less. Many of them work very hard, whilst some of those on high salaries often spend the day ding SFA.

Forget bullshit and engage brain and stop regurgitating DM and Express rubbish. Almost all employees rights and standards would go for a start. Things weren't OK before UK joined the EU. Either you have a short memory or you are too young to have been around at the time to remember the deep s*it that UK was in.

So? That doesn't change my point that people get paid what they're worth. There shouldn't be a minimum wage.

I'm 42, I know how brilliant the UK was before the EU s**te came along. All the EU has done is make us communist. I don't want controlled by the government. I don't want employees rights. If I don't like my job, I'm free to leave.

You're another one that needs to be got rid of.

Someone's going to have nobody to talk to soon....

That's changing. Some stores give away "best before"' rather than "use by", food to local "soup kitchens" (to paraphrase their mission).

When there was Guinness brewed in London it was much less bitter than the original Irish version. But now it's all from Dublin.

Mostly as a result of too many employee rights and standards demanded by the Unions.

It is a permenent deluion of policticisns that they can actually chneg things for the better., I fact mostly they make things worse.

And there is nothing te EU can do that a national gorenment cant do in terms of those issues as well

So you can vote for socilism plus (communism Lite) If you want...

What you are in effect saying us that people WILL NOT VOTE FOR SOCIALISM. It *must* be *imposed* by the EU!

I am glad we cleared that up.

Some pet food is processed to human standards as those for dog food are more strict.

I don't read either other than on a very casual basis in Sainsburys cafe but I've never seen either publication advocate the immediate cancellation of all laws which have emanated from EU directives. Perhaps you could supply some evidence for your wild assertions.
