When they sell you down the river I’ll be here to say I told you so.
The eu has done a good job of that already and now our government won't be able to blame anyone but themselves if things wrong and I will deal with anything that they throw at us the best way I can

Never said we are unprotected but they are slowly tying our hands behind our backs by making us uncompetitive against the rest of the world
Like anything Brexit will have it’s pros and cons. Personally I think future trade arrangements will be far more disadvantageous to UK farmers than the current set up. The up side for the rest of the economy could well compensate.
 
So far nobody as far as I can see has commented on the news that a US court has approved allowing a case against Monsanto for Glyphosate causing cancer.
Only one type so far but like "me too" has the dam been breached?
Maybe Graham Said at last years Groundswell wasn't so far off the mark with his comments????
Is this the continuation of the demise of Glyphosate?

Can we sue sausage and bacon manufacturers for causing cancer? What about jack daniels?

Probably is. Its too cheap anyway for Monsanto.
They'll have to come up with a more expensive replacement.
How hard can it be?
They were able to make Glyphosate 40 or 50 year ago.
 
They can retire too.

It wont happen anyway.
You are absolutely convinced glyphosate will not be banned eventually?
I reckon that at best Monsanto will delay the court case which may mean for you and I we are not around to see the ban.
However don't underestimate the EU and especially our uncivil servants to throw one in from the outfield and surprise us all especially with GS having the ears of some VIP's.
