No breakdown on your pasted figures between genuine humanitarian asylum seekers v economic migrants. A cynic might say: Germany stops accepting refugees over coronavirus The EU has taken drastic action to attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19, effectively shutting borders to non-citizens. Germany will stop taking in refugees, including thousands stranded at the Turkish-Greek border. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-stops-accepting-refugees-over-coronavirus/a-52826716 Bugger all to do with Covid. One of Merkel?s biggest mistakes politically (although I sympathise with her humanitarian gesture) France - your fail to mention 85,750 were rejected by France. France will help stem the flow to Britain for ?30 million https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/08/08/french-ask-30m-police-channel/ Need I go on?

Fair point Blah Blah. I certainly know nothing of International Law but I understand we (Britain) need to abide by it. I understand next to nothing about EU Law either but don?t think my life has been any the worse for my ignorance in that area. But your point about the migrant boat issue does raise interesting questions. Why, contrary to what you might read in certain media, do relatively wealthy economic migrants pass through many EU countries, pay thousands if not tens of thousands to gangsters, to risk life and limb to try to get to Britain? What do these relatively wealthy people find so unappealing about EU countries? What opportunities do they see for a better life in Britain that millions of Remainers apparently couldn?t see? Interesting issue you raise Blah Blah More than 4,000 have crossed Channel to UK in small boats this year https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/aug/09/number-migrants-crossing-channel-uk-passes-4000-this-year

Appears many face masks are next to useless. Australia has just withdrawn 286 different types from sale (for mainly medical Reasons) https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/aug/06/hundreds-of-types-of-face-masks-withdrawn-from-sale-in-australia-amid-safety-fears

Check Whether your regular milkman is on holiday. Sometimes another milkman covering can get deliveries wrong or mixed up. Inconvenient I know but you won?t/shouldn?t be charged for undelivered milk if this is the case.

?... Wearing masks is about protecting others from you ...? I was in a big well-known supermarket recently and as I entered an aisle a woman pulled her mask down and sneezed over me and a few others before pulling her mask up again. No apology. I suppose she just didn?t want to carry on shopping in a snotty mask. Just saying.

Strikes me companies like Sainsbury?s are missing a trick by not handing out free face masks to shoppers. They could be branded Sainsbury?s for example, Sainsbury?s supports the NHS etc Maybe their marketing departments are all on furlough

?...if you are calling about x press 1, if y press 2, if z press 3.? (Presses 3) ?Thank you all the information you require about z can be found on our website at www.... If you would like to partake in a short survey to tell us how we did please press 1...?

Maybe the Ruskies thought it wasn?t worth their while as they couldn?t compete with US interference - Back of the Queue and all that

As for synthetic meat, that is still some time away as it is still very expensive to produce. Yes it may well be the future and there are lots of benefits to producing meat in this way, but it is not happening yet. Good point Blah Blah. I think commercially we?re at the plant-based meat stage.

An example would be a company that makes snacks. One area, often in a separate building but on the same site is nut free. Bread can be made with flour and also gluten free as long as there?s no contamination. It?s not that difficult and is an everyday occurrence. Admittedly this is easier for bigger companies.

I must say Sephiroth, you?re being very civil tonight.

...That?s the point of the eu. Removing red tape ... In theory yes, a worthy ideal to aspire to. In practice billions of tax payers? money feeds an army of bureaucrats who Perpetuate a protectionist dystopia.

But isn?t that the whole point? - get rid of most of the red-tape and let farmers farm and produce instead of filling out bloody forms.

In not too many years time when the animal rights people get their way your farmer will be playing Mozart to his chickens and giving them Shiatsu Massages. ?Meat? is being grown in Petri dishes, structurally altered to be fibrous, coloured and flavoured and veggies and vegans are flocking to Burger King and other outlets to stuff their faces with it. The nearest your grandchildren might come to a chicken is in a zoo. The world?s changing fast Sephiroth, Adapt or die.

Of course you can have different methods. One shed as now. Second shed different feed. Third shed layers. Online sales. Dog food and cat food market etc That?s the problem with CAP. It subsidises inefficiency and stifles competition

Don?t understand your question

Not necessarily but I?m not referring to individuals companies exactly. There?s nothing difficult in supermarkets/shops selling different type of chickens - barn, free-range, corn-fed, Red Tractor assured, EU approved, US approved etc All of them are safe to eat. Just mark it up and let people decide

Green issues are certainly going to be high up on the agenda in the new normal pk

Fair point. But it doesn?t have to be either or. We could have dual standards and give people a choice. As long as, say, chicken was labelled I don?t see a problem.

?...In my opinion, we need a complete overhual in food processing legislation that regulates more, not less.? I agree with you on this Blah Blah. Which is why I think the UK should not sign up the keep EU standards. We could have far higher standards. Look at the problems farming regulations and practises have caused for wildlife (ditches being removed to create larger open fields etc).

Neigh, surely not

Crunchy garlic chlorinated chicken recipe 1. mix parmesan, mayo, garlic, lemon zest, herbs and seasoning to form a paste 2. Coat the chlorinated chicken breasts with the mayo mix, cover with breadcrumbs and place on a prepared baking tray. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and cooked through. 3. Carve into three or four thick slices, scatter over chives and serve with the lemon wedges and vegetables of your choice. Wine pairing Hint - this Oaked Chardonnay, Sour Grapes (appellation contr?l?e) from Chateau Peckham (maison fond?e en January 1, 2021) is an ideal accompaniment to this exquisite dish.

You can hardly blame the ruskies for a PR coup when the EU 27 shut up shop and went into ?everyone for themselves? mode. Anyway, why don?t we catch up when things about the trade deal become a bit clearer and we can swap chlorinated chicken recipes

Errr hello blue pill ... global pandemic? Huge recession/possible depression? God help you if you think the EU is going to protect you after the way Russia had to step in the help Italy. But, don?t misunderstand me, I wish everyone the best over the next couple of years for what?s about to hit us
