EU ‘to blame’ on horsemeat (From The Bolton News)

Nuttall is a complete lunatuic and ignorant of the facts.

Fact is that teh EU ha smore stringent regulations than the UK, which opted out of them under the last Labour Government.

It was also the last Labour Government that decided to move the tests from central governing bodies suchas the FSA to bodies such as Secretary for Health and othe rgovernmen bodies thus diluting any tests carried out.

All of this has nothing to what the EU decided, which I repeat, is actually stronger and more nefficient than the UK system!!!

Yet again this is just another opportunity for Nuttall to have a go at the EU without actually knowing the facts - thus creating another hysteria!!!!

Nuttall you are a completely useless politician who would rather use fear than actual facts - idiot!!!

The European union is like any other large organisation - not fit for purpose.
The UK needs to become self sufficient in all areas not just food and this needs to happen sooner rather than later before all expertise is lost.

Not fit for purpose????

So we only have ourselves to give thanks for the cleaner beaches?
Ourselves to thanks for many laws introduced that help create a better work-life balance?
Ourselves to thank for the introduction of the minimum wage to help get many out of poverty?
Ourselves to thank for giving part-time and temporary workers the same rights as full-time workers?

The thing is, there are many rules, regulations and laws that have come from the EU that have helped people and the country but do not get advertised - why should they as people are only interested in the surreal and the negative - that shows a lot about what people are like!!!!

As it is, in this case, the EU has nothing, whatsoever, to do with the contamination of Horse-meat, it is purely down to people and companies wanting to make a quick and lingering profit by frauding others with the meat being used. Again thsi has nothing to do with the EU. Each country in Europe, which include ourselves, have laws which regulate and promote what is on packets and have their own safegaurds and testing. Yes there is abre minimum which the EU stipulates but each country then strengthen them - in the case of the Uk we opted out and made them weaker - again that is not the fault of EU but the fault of Westminster.

If the UK had the full EU regulations, with regards to meat testing and prepartion, then we would have been more prepared - just as much as the financial laws being planned the UK are a complete watered down version of what EU are proposing to make sure that Banks don't gameble like they have done over the last 25 years!!!

We do have a lot to grateful for with the EU, which would never have happened if we had been independent from it.

PS, did you know that Paul Nuttal is in Brusseld claiming expenses just like every other Euro MP, and yet he wants out and as such less oney for himself, or even for him to lose his own job - do you honestly think he wants that???

mmmm ....sounds like you have a vested interest in the EU BWFC71, I wonder if you are the local ex EU MP still drawing a mega pension and pay off?

I have no affiliation with any political party and have no vested interest with regards to the EU. I just know that my working life has got better thanks to teh EU instead of working 60 odd hours a week I only work 48 or less for the same money, plus more holidays and mores ecure in teh job than what I was under the old UK system.

I also know politicians, does anyone honestly think that a politician wanting the UK to break away from teh EU, and is an EuroMP, really wants to lose his own job and benefits? Are people actually that daft.

Also if we did break away from the EU does anyone honestly think that teh north of the country would receive the so-called extra-funding??? Already the south gets more for its rail infrastructure, £96miln just been given to TfL to keep bus fares at £1.45 flat whilst nothing for the north and it will continue - the north is just given lip-service.

Also if we break from the EU does anyone actually think that the Commonwealth with wholly trade with us? India showed this week that they won'f, Australia and Canada don't, neither do South Africa - and out of the othe rnations of the Commonwealth, what can we trade for????

It is all just common sense and shows that politicians will just about say anything to get votes but actually do nothing!!!

....

Yep, that's why I'll be voting UKIP

They are just the same.

Nuttal is a MEP for UKIP, but UKIPS wants out of EU which will mean the loss of his and fellow UKIP MEP members.

Do you honestly think they will vote out of EU knowing they will lose their jobs, and benefits that go with being an MEP?

Of course they will that's what UKIP stands for. I'm afraid i don't believe your early assertion that you don't have any political allegiance you are too pro EU.

BWFC71 BWHAAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA

Does it actually make sense to vote for a Political Party which has NO member in Westminster and has 4 members in the European Parliament?

These 4 members, if UKIP ever got in would actually lose their jobs, along with their advisors, researchers, secretaries etc etc because UKIP only goal is to leave the EU - so voting for UKIP creates more unemployed people!!!


As I said I have no allegiance with any Party, I used to pay subs to the Liberal-Democrats prior to teh current leader but I have a dislike towards Nicholas William Peter Clegg and as such withdrew my subs. And as such I am currently a floating voter!!! But yes I have a healthy interest in politics, just like everyone should have and there is no crime in that.

But I would never vote for a 1 trick pony like UKIP who have no real manifesto for when they do take the UK of of the EU - such as what about the UK itself, what about the Commonwealth , what about economic policies?

BROKEN BRITAIN UNDER TORIES – MEDIA SUPPORTING NEW JUSTICE BILL
Cameron’s new Justice and Security Bill is quietly weaving its way through Parliament whilst the Media kept the General Public entertained with the Horsemeat fiasco because that’s all it was they spent more coverage on that than NHS Deaths ,ATOS Deaths ,Workfare and Draconian cuts .Less Government criticism .Now the proposed Bill is out in the Public Domain they are highlighting the Vicky Pryce Court case to promote Court Procedures needing change from using Juries . The new courts will be attended only by security-vetted special advocates. Milliband agrees wholeheartedly with the new Bill as new evidence emanating from Libya cites Blair and Straw as being complicit in detaining Gaddafi opponents and using torture in exchange for business deals .Labour and Con/Libs are allowing more of our Democracy to be eroded .www.brokenbritainun

Only pro-EU becuase I see the good side in a lot of the things they have given the working person.

Minimum holidays (in fact many UK companies are breaking the law as they allow public holidays to be part of the minimum 25 days holidays - actually it should be 25 days holiday plus public holidays!)

Minimum wage - although nowadays companies should be giving a living wage thus cutting down the number of people, in work, who have to claim benefits or tax credits just to live a basic life!

Maximum working hours - of 48 in many industries - without a pay-cut. Of course one can sign their lives away and opt-out, but why???? The maximum hours working week actually creates employment and cuts the number of those who are unemployed and claiming dole. But people opt-out knowing that the companies they work for do not pay a "living wage" and need the extra income to have some sort of life outside work!!!

Giving equality to part-time workers and temporary workers so they have the same powers and rules and regulations as those in full time work. Why should they be treated any less?

Cleaner beaches - yes we still ahve a long way to go in teh Uk but at least our beaches and rivers are much cleaner than what they were 30 years ago - Westminster were not bothered and are still not bothered as they would blame the private utility firms and expect the private companies to clean up!!!

Competition - more competition within many industries - BUT the Westminster took it too far and opened up all industries to competition without any fire-walls, unlike other European countries. Yes the EU gets teh blame for it but it was Westminster that took it the extra step and not protect British industry, unlike other EU countries!!!

In what way have our lives changed for the worse with regards to legislation coming from Brussels? I see it as NONE!
