Tesco pulls honey off shelves amid purity concerns

[The Poot]

From my limited knowledge of science, which is exponentially greater than that spouted by most climate nutters, you are entirely correct. The reason that they chose co2 to achieve their aims was after much debate, and non of it evidence based, but rather what could plausibly be sold to the gullible public. The aim ? Is to create enough indebtedness that will require transfers of natural resources of nation states to satisfy those debts. The business model will be carbon sinks that will produce never ending revenue via carbon offset credits purchased from those debt holders. Tin hat conspiracy theories, get in the real world, we are already here.

And do we really believe that all this money will go to where it's intended?

So who's making fools of whom?

The very countries that will get these payments are the very countries that will benefit from greening of the planet.

Crisis? What crisis?

It is that carbon market, that is the goal, indebted countries will find themselves in debt for assets swaps. Those assets will allow our new world masters to rule for ever. It does not have to be so, just wake up and say no and now.

I was in Lidl today and they are selling their "simple honey" for 75p for 454 g. Had decided to buy a load of it for winter feed, wash out the jars and fill them with my own honey next year. Well that was until I saw that they now admit it was produced in China so was put off the idea!! It really is beyond a joke.

That’s a really bad idea no matter where the honey comes from unless it’s your own.

I'm not sure we're talking about anything that has ever been anywhere near a beehive (nor possibly anywhere near any kind of insect) though

Major AFB/EFB risk assuming there is  some honey in it!

It really is a joke - but it worrles me that someone might try it.

Better not suggest it, even in jest: not that long ago a novice North London beekeeper found his bees starving, was unaware of the risk, fed them supermarket honey and had to dig a hole and burn the lot when the SBI diagnosed AFB.

My neighbours wife buys that "honey" he knows that it is rubbish but says nowt. He delabels and washes the jars then delivers them to me in paper carrier bags, proper chap.Yes, forgot to add, do not feed any honey other than your own to your girls

Seems to me that this ideology is simply indoctrination, the process of teaching by repeated instruction. I’m sure Mr Blair (aka George Orwell) would have something to say about it and our special ‘friends’ across the pond have been pretty good at Ideological indoctrination.

If I was producing ersatz honey, each jar would have a small but measurable amount of real honey. (eg 5g) so I could describe it as "contains honey made in #####).
Of course, if we had a proper Food Standards System and funded it properly, the resulting fines would run into £ millions "pour encourager les autres"
