No I will not 'give it a rest'when you and some others here are regularly rude and insulting about certain other European cultures such the French and Germans, which in itself just smacks of jealousy. It's pathetic and will be pointed out as and when I see fit. Edited by Orange1290 (26 Jun 2021 10.21am) Jealous of what?

Good grief man, you post that? It is drivel. French legislation requiring that food containing dairy label which country the milk originated from is in line with EU regulations, the European Court of Justice ruled in a case between the French government and multinational dairy corporation Lactalis. However, the French Council of State just nullified the COOL law relating to milk as it considered it excessive and a law brought in solely to favour Lactalis. The meat law remains in place does it not? Please don’t post nonsense, it is unhelpful. Edited by Mapletree (26 Jun 2021 9.29am) so you are saying that the Express is incorrect whe they state: "The so-called Egalim 2 Law was passed by the French Parliament on Thursday after the first reading. The regulation seeks to no longer oblige to systematically mention the origin of the meat and dairy products used in prepared dishes" Okay I bow to your superior knowledge you might want to ask the Express for a correction.

That wasn't even part of the non-existent EU Citizen's Charter.

Yes. It isn’t law yet. First reading is the clue. It has to go to the senate. The adopted text supplements article L412-4 of the Consumer Code which stipulates that “the indication of the country of origin is compulsory for agricultural and food products and seafood, in the raw or processed state” by the following statement “for which there is a proven link between some of their properties, in particular in terms of public health protection and consumer protection, and their origin”.

You are really quite confused about things in my opinion. But I believe you are entitled your opinion, and you believe I am entitled to your opinion. Good to see you have no issues with any Chinese policies about for example prison labour or what might be happening with minorities in the West. I am sure you unique skill set is fondly missed in China. Don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting it is idiotic to make a judgement on a country you visited for a short period years ago and possible interacted with 0.00005% of the population. I am sure one could form a valid opinion on London for example by talking to 5 people. You are to the politics forum what Dazza is to the manager prediction thread.

Still in denial?? China? Great country, worked there for 9 months some years ago. Great people and fantastic food. You should give it a try some day......ah yes, you've no choice now anyway, how's the new 'regime'? I bet you're not waiving blighty's old flag anymore over there Edited by Orange1290 (26 Jun 2021 3.43am) How can you call accuse Owen of being 'in denial' and then also call China a great country? A country that doesn't afford its own citizens the same basic freedoms that most of the world has....a country willing to lie about just about anything....try finding out about the Tiananmen Square massacre or 'Tank man' from the Internet in China.

Oddly, here in Hong Kong, the Falun Gong group which is basically outlawed as a dangerous cult in PRC are freely allowed to have a virtually permanent protest pitch site outside a major department store here with signs basically calling the CPC evil and hell bound. Another one of the contradictions. Edited by HKOwen (27 Jun 2021 10.24am) I went to a Chinese ballet / martial arts performance in London not realising it was a PR tour for the Falun Gong. Oddly there were lots of Christian group in the audience supporting them. As for the performance it was pretty poor they only seems to have 2 or 3 moves.

So that's what you do in your spare time China is now the major power and we have to realise it and get along imho. The G7 just a group of waffling irrelevance.

Good news but disappointing for quite a few on here "France elections: Far-right National Rally loses key battleground states - poll. Marine Le Pen's RN also lost another potential stronghold, the Hauts-de-France region around Calais in the north." Edited by Orange1290 (27 Jun 2021 7.40pm) The real right losing to the centre right after the centre right steal their policies? Same old, same old. People get fooled by false promises and tough talk, which they think will translate into real action....but civil nationalists are ethically restrained from that......once the centre right betray them those who voted for them expecting action will only have themselves to blame I suppose. What Le Pen wanted to do is forty years too late.....as it is fifty years too late here.

Brexit is a calamity for our farmers, especially small ones. And this is what they will be missing:- EU negotiators strike new CAP deal 387 billion euros on payments to farmers. Farmers will be paid to move from intensive farming practices to protecting nature and rein in greenhouse gases. In the UK bringing back control seems to mean pouring untreated agricultural waste into rivers. And that's what brexit is, full of s**t.

The uk potentially has better plans for government subsidies There are 3 new schemes that will reward environmental land management: Sustainable Farming Incentive The trouble is there has just been talk and no action. Nobody has a clue how anything will work and we are really running out of time.

Good luck with that Something of a generalisation but Brexiteer : You are entitled to your opinion , it's time to move on and make the best of a post Brexit world FBPE/Remainer : You are entitled to my opinion which is correct and therefore fact A lot of people on here are very good at predicting the future and taking their own prediction as fact Originally posted by Tom-the-eagle
