Question Time last night was a special, boring edition (unless it perked up after I had to leave it). It proved quite nicely though my earlier point about Left malign influence.
But, the most obvious intellectual trick was the horsemeat 'debate'. It was amazing to watch as even the Tory failed to properly defend her government by refusing to answer the (ridiculous) accusations of the Labour woman. The defence of course was that the EU changed the way food safety was ensured, moving away from physical observation, to purely paper based, self-declaration.
The Labour twit even said they introduced the Food Standards Agency. Certainly it appeared during a Labour term, but it is an EU agency, in place to ensure EU rules are followed, not really to worry about food safety.But nobody would point this out.Labour continued to spout by saying that the crisis was caused by labelling. What?
Fraser nelson, of whom we might expect more quietly said food labelling was an EU competence, but didn't take it any further. No one in the audience appeared to have the faintest idea how our food safety is assured (or not as the case seems).
The thing is, I refuse to believe the politicians don't know either. I mean, I know they are thick as mince (horse or otherwise), but really? The need to hide the effects of the EU is clearly of supreme importance. And the effects of the EU always seem to be negative.
