The US government want their scams to spread to Europe too with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. It is all due to "lobbying", which is a politically correct way to say "bribing" in America. Corrupt US politicians doing the bidding of those multinationals, screwing over the general public. As usual.
With Brexit expect some of that EU legislation protection to disappear in Britain too. Maybe you'll get greek yoghurt instead of greek-style yoghurt now, though it might be neither Greek nor yoghurt ;-)
- anexprogrammer 10y agoI don't much like the sound of any of the parts of TPP I've seen leaked. I'm not a fan of Brexit, it's a silly idea. Doubly so if govt decide to start fiddling with the best aspects of legislation (consumer, worker and human rights protections). I imagine one of the tabloids would try and get a campaign going if they wear things down too much. Well I hope so - I'm happy to pay a bit extra for stuff in return for the proections we have.
