Very much like me, only very rarely eating pork as a cut of meat and even more rarely a pork sausage. There are the few producers of partially or fully free range pork, such as the pigs on pannage in the New Forest, but the labelling allowing us to choose doesn't seem to exist.I am more concerned about how those animals are kept. They are intelligent, and probably more intelligent than many dogs and cats - for sure they are more intelligent than cats, but in many systems they are very cruelly deprived. I don't eat much pork, but I have had the odd sausage - four in the last week, and I feel some guilt about that. The way sows are caged to prevent fatalities among the piglets is a sorry state of affairs.
I would have no issue in eating pig if they were kept free range and were wandering about digging roots.
Have you ever seen them doing this:They are intelligent, and probably more intelligent than many dogs and cats - for sure they are more intelligent than cats,
Washington Post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This article says it all on Routh. The man is a fantasist, a criminal and a lunatic.
This is also worth a look.
Also the Ukrainians wanted nothing to do with Routh. They clearly spotted him as a nutter. He was told his efforts to recruit foreign fighters were helping no one and asked to stop.
People who saw him camping in Kiev said you could tell he wasn't all there.
What you have to remember is that those animals would never even have a life if we didn't eat them.Very much like me, only very rarely eating pork as a cut of meat and even more rarely a pork sausage.

Which would be preferable, since these "farm" animals are wholly artificial, so arguably should not exist. But with our out of control population we've made a trap for ourselves over time.What you have to remember is that those animals would never even have a life if we didn't eat them.
Norway has true independence from EU. Why? because they kept their hydroelectric dams, have electricity from them, sell their oil and gas (sorry again) to build their sovereign fund. All from within the EEA.Strange attack on the EU, where no country is forced to join nor stopped to leave the club.
As soon as there is the word 'supra national ' somewhere, some people just see red. Should countries leave the UN too? The UN is supranational alright. How about defense pacts like NATO? Scotland and Wales are not as rich in natural resources like Norway.
I didn't really understand why we didn't join the EEA after Brexit.Norway has true independence from EU. Why? because they kept their hydroelectric dams, have electricity from them, sell their oil and gas (sorry again) to build their sovereign fund. All from within the EEA.
Maybe all countries should collectively dissolve the EU and rejoin the EEA? (Common Market)
TM's deal was in that direction, remaining in the customs union while negotiating a similar deal like EEA but without freedom of movement. Her deal would not allow the UK to cut taxes as much as the government wants, cut 'red tapes' aka health and safety, employees protection, veterinary standards, environmental protection, zero carbon economy, human rights, etc.I didn't really understand why we didn't join the EEA after Brexit.
The EEA is 80% to 90% the EU. You still have the 4 freedoms, the single market and the customs union. You have to pay into eu solidarity fund to redistribute wealth, no common foreign policy, no common tax policy. I think the EU would require smaller countries wishing to join the eea / single market to adopt the euro.Maybe all countries should collectively dissolve the EU and rejoin the EEA? (Common Market)
The billionaires want to control the market , so they want tariffs and freedom to develop their businesses besides tax cuts. I can see Trump backing off from mass deportation but can't see Trump backing off on tariffs.Trump’s tariffs could tank the economy. Will the Supreme Court stop them?
President-elect Trump is his own worst enemy, unless his fellow Republicans on the Supreme Court intervene.
"After winning the 2024 election in part due to high inflation early in President Joe Biden’s term, President-elect Donald Trump wants to enact policies that would lead to the very same kind of inflation that doomed Democrats."

Well maybe the EEA is not the answer and EFTA is? Or make a New agreement without the Strings. Much easier when EU dissolved, no Commission, No Parliament, NoThe EEA is 80% to 90% the EU.
