Great - leave the EU and be allowed to eat poisonous cauliflowers.

Why will it make any difference? Seems like they're *already* sending us
poisonous cauliflowers because they're harvesting too soon after
spraying. I don't know what checks (if any) we make on what comes in -
but we may well tighten up on that after we've left.


WTF would a farmer spray expensive chemicals onto a crop he's going to
lift in 48 hours?

Marketability? Maybe he intended to spray earlier but was held up by
weather or mechanical breakdown. Maybe a contractor got the wrong field.

It is standard practice actually to spray herbicicide on the cereal
crops in order to kill the lot off, so its all nice and dried out by the
time you combine it.
