Correct, Dave.

Paul Dacre, Nigel. And would you care to tell us in what ways you consider that the Guardian fails to provide lack of balance, or are you just saying it because it doesn't support your party?

As for this:

"The European Food Safety Authority has found no conclusive evidence that antimicrobial chemicals used in food processing contribute to antibiotic resistance.
It is just another bleat from remainers."

Only antibiotic misuse, not "antimicrobial chemicals used in food processing," can lead to antibiotic resistance. No remainer has ever bleated any such thing as you allege. As a well-educated scientist, unlike your good self if crackpot statement of this sort are anything to go by, I'm happy to clear this up for you.

This article that you linked provides an excellent summary of why we should never accept chlorine-washed chickens from the States. There is next to no regulation of welfare standards for chickens there.
