IN THE WAKE OF HORSEMEAT SCANDAL -- UPDATED 22 May, 2017


Update 22 May, 2017
The Scandal like all the others definitely died and who is to know we still do eat horses' flesh? My guess is any controls and checks had been stopped. After all, it is again a money spinner; besides where do hundreds of horses go?  Race horses have a very short live unless they are top and kept as studs. Race horse' owners and owners of meat repertoires are a powerful league and some bound to be Tories' friends and donors.  

UPDATE:  10 June, 2015 --  The horse meat scandal had died down with other news hitting the headlines it has completely vanished off the screen. However, how do we know whether they do not just carried on happily or is there now a food quality controlled installed?  The public should not be left just like that and not knowing whether there is still horse meat mixed into beef labelled as 100 per cent beef or beef. Even this scandal would not have been discovered if it would not been for the Irish. Therefore, it  is most likely the swindle is still on. 

After the horse meat scandal which was horse meat mixed in with the beef and labelled ‘Beef’ or 100 percent Beef’ the EU brought in new rules expecting labels identifying the correct content of the food package.

Prime Minister David Cameron went to Brussels to attend meetings.  He demanded that the label suggested by the EU should be scrapped.  Mr Cameron’s reason for the move is that it would strangle businesses. This reason is very hard to understand especially after the horse meat scandal.  He is trying to protect the suppliers not having to declare the correct contents.

It shows again that it would be all right for the public but he himself bakes his own bread with a flour especially from the Cotswold costing £4.35 per kilo.

As far as the public was informed there was never a prosecution of the guilty parties of the horsemeat scandal.

Mr Cameron also promised, in general, to cut the ‘Red Tapes’ which strangles British business but does he mean in this case the food packages are not labelled correctly according to the contents?

The Shadow Environment Secretary Maria Eagle said: “Consumers rightly want to know what they are eating where it has come from.”  This is exactly what the consumer wants and she is so right in putting this point forward.

It is the same case with GM products.  The EU demands food packages are labelled showing the products contains GM food but Mr Cameron will not put this into practice for obvious reason he knows people will not buy it. 

These are nothing but draconian rules which Mr Cameron keeps practising more and more, not only in the food industry.

His plan was to persuade other EU leaders to ditch the new proposed labelling.    

HORSEMEAT SCANDAL IS A CRIME


Owen Patterson; Minister for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs is still not taking it seriously enough that the so called horsemeat scandal is nothing but a crime.  These people and they were all in it and apparently have been warned in 2011 which is two years ago kept purposely quiet because again money was involved.

It is a known fact that most of the horses used and groomed for racing, show jumping, steeple chasing etc are not put out to grace for the rest of their lives. Once their best is over they are killed and sold for horsemeat.  The very point is that especially these horses are constantly injected and especially with painkiller “bute”.

Therefore is it’s not a scandal but a crime to sell horse meat mixed with beef and labelled it as 100 per cent beef.  The very fact to label it as Beef is pure fraud to start with and therefore a crime but will the public see any heads on the top roll, of course not.

Furthermore, the horse meat was in ‘beefburgers’ which is eaten by many children.  To stand back and let this happen being fully aware of shows the attitude of the government all together and yet there is still no action from the Prime Minister David Cameron as usual.

It also has to be mentioned the great deal of yet another inquiry. As all the others inquiries it will go through the motion and cost the taxpayers a fortune but ends up with no great conclusion. Only recently with the phone hacking inquiry in which Mr Murdoch and son were not forced to give a truthful answer and the David Cameron to hand over his emails between Ms Brook and Mr Coulson. Mr Cameron even employed Mr Coulson as his Communication Secretary after he was sacked from the Newspaper because of the phone hacking. The action and decision of Mr Cameron are beyond belief.

It is known politics is always murky but these sorts of cases are well passed it for a government to allow it and then stand back hoping it will go away in due course.
