SAVED BY PIGS' EARS! Don't worry, everything will be fine!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/oct/02/cabinet-is-split-over-how-brexit-should-happen-hammond-admits

Quote:
Speaking at a fringe event, the environment secretary said EU rules mandating ear tags on livestock pigs meant their ears, a delicacy in some countries, were less valuable. After Brexit this would not be necessary, he said.

“We will have a fair, competitive advantage – we can sell more pigs’ ears to China and that means there can be more bacon and pork and ham from the other joints of the animal that are popularly sold here,” he said. “So by selling more sows’ ears to China we can buy more silk purses for British farmers.”

So we'll quite literally be making a pigs ear out of brexit?

Worse, I had to double check but it appears to be an admission of failure before we even start :

That comment was from Michael Gove, sounds like another agitator in the cabinet.

God he is a twat, and Environment secretary! it's like she literally chose the worst people possible for each position. Have you seen his comments blaming the EU for the decline in wildlife. Whilst I'm no fan of the CAP you can't seriosly think that britain wouldn't have gone for large scale industrial farming like the rest of the world and just continued with 1940's quaint little fields with hedges everywhere? Knob.

We seem to be lacking decent people across the board, I wonder if PM Corbyn could or would do any better or worse?
