Govt. To allow bee killing pesticides banned in the EU


This was always going to be a benefit of brexit. The chance to do something for short term gain despite the long term cost. Economically in the short term, environmental laws are annoying. They limit growth and cost more, but do serve a good purpose too.

Members of the single market agree to the level playing field to force each other into holding up the same costly standards, then neither gets a commercial advantage by doing something damaging. We claimed pulling out would allow us to make stricter laws, but you can always make stricter. A lot of people could see through this to find it really means more relaxed laws. We will likely find the same for workers rights.
 
Bees are in real trouble and that means we are, without them we simply can’t produce enough crops to maintain food supply. It’s absolutely critical we do everything to protect them. Much more important than Panda’s etc.

Pandas poliate crops too? Attenborough failed to mention that mind

More that huge resources are put in to conservation of panda populations when many more beneficial creatures aren’t afforded that resource. Not that we shouldn’t protect pandas, we absolutely should but other often less cute species should be prioritised.
 
I see this article turns out to be complete bollox - we've always had the ability to use this pesticide and its not banned in the EU, its been used by 10 EU countries since 2018
What? You mean I've got my pitchfork and burning torch out for nowt? Can't a mob get angry about anything these days? 😡
Pesticides are horrible and there use should be kept to a minimum. There are alternatives or we could just accept our apples being a bit nibbled.

Luxuries and short-term profit always come above conservation with the types of leaders we have running our countries.
