They were a ‘24 hour crack down’ (as stated in the article). The UK has not yet put import controls in place to deal with the withdrawal from EU standards and regulations. https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/britain-scraps-plans-post-brexit-import-controls-2022-04-28/

No. When the UK was a member of the EU member states inspected goods being shipped to the UK to ensure they met EU Standards. That ended with Brexit. Alternative UK side inspections have not been put in place.

Agreed, but the EU has no responsibility to check goods entering the UK. And clearly a 24 hour crackdown tgat searches 22 out of up-to 10,000 vehicles (less than a quarter of one percent) hardly qualifies as customs controls.

From the article: ( underlined by me for your clarity) ” The 24-hour crackdown earlier this month targed eatern European food lorries entering the UK. They searched 22 vehicles from Romanian, Moldovan, Ukraine and Poland with illegal meat imports found in 21.”. And: ““We need to remember that it is not 22 vehicles a day that enter the UK at Dover, but up to 10,000 vehicle movements across the Channel a day.”

But it wasn’t, the article discusses the fact rotting meat is being shipped into the UK since Britain left the protection provided by EU regulation. Somebody forgot to set up UK based import controls and criminals are taking advantage of the UK’s failure to check goods entering the country.

Good luck with that Rishi, you’re going to need it.

Here’s one from the earlier this year, so now you have been presented with evidence that the themes you claim ‘never seem to get mentioned’ have in fact been discussed and examined over at least the past 15 years: https://centerschool.net/news/leecdegok44xsfseqkwq0nhdh7tgs3-y6rej How you managed to miss that fact is odd.

There’s a great deal of discussion on the use of misogyny, homophobia, sexism and glorifying gun violence in hip-hop. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogyny_in_rap_music https://www.npr.org/2007/06/20/11223359/roundtable-homophobia-in-hip-hop

No mention of immigrants in the OP.

I’m not sure we do know that which assume we do.

No, I have little, if any, empathy for her because she’s caused real harm to others through her idiocy and hubris. She was driven by hubris and dogma. There’s no ‘virtue’ in sympathizing with dogma driven leaders who cause harm to the people they are meant to serve. And incidentally, I’m not ‘The Left’ though your keenness to claim my views are representative of the Left in its entirety is consistent with your attempts to blame the Left for the mess this 12 year party of Government has made of the UK’

Where’s the need for any ‘compassion’, she was patently unfit for the post, during her voluntary bid for the office of PM she was frequently referred to as ‘a gift to the opposition but terrible for the nation’. Which is exactly what she turned out to be. She’s a victim of her own hubris. And off you go blaming the ‘Left’ again. She’s an extreme right-winger, her rise to office and swift removal all products of Tory failing, nothing whatsoever to do with anyone on the ‘Left’. I’m saving my compassion for the people facing massive hikes to their mortgages as a direct result of the rightwing dogma driven idiocy Truss foist upon the nation. Truss got what she asked for, met predictions by being unable to handle the job she coveted and very swiftly got what she deserved. Save your compassion for the people who’s lives she’s made more difficult.

Not murdering people in cold blood would have been a better plan.

And rightly so. Words have consequences, resort to hate speech, reap the consequences.

Having ditched all EU regulations and agreements for goods entering the UK via the EU the inevitable has resulted: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/port-officials-siezed-illegal-products-maggot-meat-dover-raid-b1033827.html

How about the idea of people not having to put up with the indignity of relying on charity? I’ve told you exactly which 19th century mindset you are regressing to, it was wrong then and it’s wrong now. Have a word with yourself.

So you’ve moved to Ebenezer Scrooge’s line of argument.

For the second time, here’s mac’s post which includes a link to the source he relied on:

Here’s Mac’s post. Refer percentages reported. The population of the UK is about 67.22 million. Now let’s see if you can work out what 8% of 67.22 million is. If you struggle then yes, perhaps you do need the ‘confused button’.

There is no national cris that a Tory can’t make worse.

I guess he’s given up looking for Brexit opportunities.

Mac already provided it. It doesn’t help either of you.

Updated December 21, before the energy crisis, before the cost of living crisis. Assuming random households represent y average occupancy then 8% of households equates to 8% of 67,22000 people = 5.776 million people. So before they cost of living crisis, before the energy crisis the UK had already added 1.177,600 people to the food poverty count reported for 2020/21.

Link?

Like I say, choose to ignore it. Relax, if you believe food poverty isn’t a major concern in the UK. Ignore the pre-cost of living cris Government report of 4.2 million people in food poverty. Clutch your straws. The recession has started, poverty isn’t going to reduce. Parents unable to feed their children is a political time bomb ticking. Feel free to ignore it.
