But is it still true?

what that the us and uk have trade discusssions now and then , yeah they do.

but in other news these documents prove Corbyn lied on the TV debate. Not once do these documents mention “full market access for US products”, despite Corbyn implying he was reading verbatim from the documents

It’s old under a previous pm and isn’t in anyway a smoking gun that we have sold the nhs to the us or giving full market access . It’s more Corbyn conspiracy bollox. Next he will be claiming the Rothschild family control all the worlds banks and money!!!

 

[The perfect fumble]

I've not heard them saying they'll never vote for the Conservatives.

You speak with Chesterton using the Lodge's ouija board!

The headline on this answers any questions one may have.

Further digging suggests that Fullfact are a left leaning remain organisation, nothing is what it seems today.

Give you a clue on US food standards versus UK.

Check out the incidence of food poisoning.

Bloody Tories. Poisoning Americans as well now.

FWIW, the salmonella rates are higher in the US, but the campylobacter rates are lower. Presumably Labour are responsible for the lower rates.

"CHLORINE-WASHED CHICKEN: WHAT IS CHLORINATED CHICKEN? IS CHLORINE-WASHED CHICKEN SAFE TO EAT?
Chlorinated chicken– or chlorine-washed chicken – simply means that chicken was rinsed with chlorinated water; chlorine is not present in the meat. Just as chlorine helps make drinking water safe, it can help remove potentially harmful bacteria from raw chicken.

Although it has been proven safe, most chicken processing plants have moved away from the use of chlorine as a food safety application during the production process. The National Chicken Council in the United States would estimate that chlorine is used in some rinses and sprays in only about 10% of processing plants in the U.S. Most of the chlorine that is used in the industry is used for cleaning and sanitizing processing equipment.

However, numerous studies and scientific research have confirmed that the use of chlorinated water to chill and clean chicken is safe and effective. Chlorine-washed chicken does not pose any human health concerns and it is not present in the final product.

All chicken produced in the United States is closely monitored and inspected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)."

OH MY WORD, WHAT A SCANDAL????!!!!

Lol, this bullshit has dominated a lot of the Brexit debate, giving the NHS away to get chlorinated chicken in return,
it really is desperate stuff. If people were that worried about it they'd never drink water or go for a swim in a swimming pool.

Am I correct in saying that the UK and US have been in trade talks for years and the US have made some demands which we haven't said anything about and that translates into the NHS is up for sale. Would be a bit worrying if the two countries hadn't been talking about trade deals wouldn't it?

Chlorine-rinsed bagged salads are common in the UK and other countries in the EU."

WHAT!!
The bastard EU poisoning us even before the Yanks have had a chance.

Wouldn't surprise me. I doubt there's a single news or information outlet that doesn't employ (or is solely run or edited by) someone with a level of bias one way or the other. In this instance it does pooh-pooh the idea that comparing the available statistics for the argument to support one side or the other is not likely to produce a valid result due to the differences in collating the data.

Thank you, so the age of the document wasn't really that relevant after all.
