Most of the workers at these plants live 20 to a house and spend most of their free time shagging each other!!

The problem is the UK Government has an agenda and that is pretty much to destroy every industry in the UK, the farming industry has escaped that so far mostly over the last few months but now the Gov have turned their attention to the food industry as that is just about the only industry in the UK that hasn't been destroyed/ crippled by their unjust lockdown!

I find your posts very helpful and informative.

But every now again you come up with some vile bollox like this.

I keep hearing this from different people, "the government wants to destroy the economy, the government is trying to destroy every industry there is"
Why would any government, particularly in a civilised western nation want to do this?! The current government has been dealt a bad hand, and haven't played it that well either, but why anyone thinks they are trying to destroy the growth and success of a country I don't quite know. Particularly the food industry. Why would a government actually want to shut meat plants down?? Answer me that


Apologies if this is off topic ?

The governments decisions over many years haven’t really favoured the livestock/meat industry to be fair on guth

Nothing vile in my post above you quote, what the staff do in their own time is their own business but with a virus such as this what they do in their own free time/ how many live in a house may well affect infection rates among all the staff on the meat lines etc but what they do in their free time the government cant control so they will turn to areas where they can control and that is the meat lines themselves.

You can see by the way the Gov are very keen to do a deal with the states to let in very cheap chicken/ hormone reared beef etc that they want food prices as low as possible, the problem is they want us to have the highest welfare/ production standards in the world and yet compete with these cheap imports which is clear as night follows day that this will be impossible.

And the food industry is just about the only industry in the UK that hasn't been affected by the lockdown/ all the new red tape/ rules/ regs etc that they have introduced the last few weeks which for most industry's have massively ramped up costs ( which they are now passing onto their customers ) or are totally unworkable.

Trying to put fat on it but obviously in vain
If it was me it would be going, trouble is how long are you going to have to keep it to get it closer to a 3 and then will you be pushing the weight limit? Shouldn't be a 1 really but if that was the case least it's money in the bank she can't coming bully and hurt her self like we just had one do. ?
