Run by lazy journalists. Trade press is just printing press releases
from various companies with a few guest articles from someone with a
vested interest in selling something.

FWi is current...

The press, including trade press, will only be interested in
malpractice when someone dies. The interest will only last for a few
weeks, or until the story falls off the front page of the daily mail.

Could the Romanians afford Bute?

As for trusting the British farming industry - how many products are
imported, minimally processed or packed, and then appear with a union
flag logo when they appear on the supermarket shelves?

Hmm. That seems a tad misdirected. I would think most home produced meat
is purchased on contract from abattoirs and packed/labelled on behalf of
the supermarkets. I think country of origin labelling may be banned by
the EU but not certain.

Red Tractor logo is UK only.
