    Why the EU/US Deal Failed - • The EU - America Trade...
    With the UK set to officially leave the EU at the end of the year, many are looking forward to the new deals Britain will be able to strike. Chief amongst them is a deal with the United States. However, some are less keen, concerned about what US rules and standards could do to Britain. In this video, we discuss the deal, why some are worried and how a deal like this could shape the UK and US.

    I've seen mentions that the problem with US chicken isn't the chlorine itself, the problem is the reason why US chicken has to have so much chlorine - namely poor hygiene in US chicken production facilities.

      @@killpopers I don't think you really have a good understanding on how this works. The trade-deal may easily for example include a minimum quantity you will have to import from the US, or a clause that stops the UK from purchasing chicken from anywhere else, and because the UK would be in breach of contract if they do, it can get very, very expensive. Your idea of the "free market" may be a bit too simplistic.

      Except the Uk needs a deal or they pretty much miss out so much trade due to tariffs that the EU has with every other state.
      Your prices for goods that produced in the EU will go up and also prices on on stuff from the UK will go up. It will hurt both side cause it will hurt sales, but given the UK loses the whole of the EU while the EU only loses one state, you can tell whos in trouble. Also as people pointed out, you just dont know how the EU worked at all.
      Especially as the UK always had a "special position" with benefits others didnt have. I telly ou that much, the UK hurt itself with this, very badly, there will either be a unfavorable trade deal or a serious financial and social problem coming for it.
      Thats also why Scottish Independence or the fact of a troublesome future of Northern Ireland both are very real things that could happen.

      @Josh Bentley I did not say, India is a bad trading partner.
      But it is insignificant, compared to the EU or the US.
      And it will stay largely insignificant. How do I know this? Just look at how small the Chinese trade is (5%). That's one tenth (10%) of the trade with the EU. And the trade with China is well established.
      The Indian trade on the other hand needs to be developed. That takes years to accomplish and the result will be similar to that of China. High volume, but dead cheap, still means little money.
      The trade with India might rise to 5% in 5 to 10 years. But the UK will lose a much bigger sized chunk of the European trade through tariffs and increased bureaucracy.

    • @DreamingSomewhere

      @Josh Bentley Ehm what the hell you talking about? First off germany doesnt rely on the UK. Germany relies on france and italy way more then it ever die on the UK, but german industry is preparing for a no deal longtime scenario. Also a trade deal is only with migration policy among others. You only get a deal like most countrys including tariffs. Thats simply the same with every country. If you want to be part of EU ecenomic zone in the way as before you have accept the same rules and laws as the EU. It would be like before brexit just that UK has no ability to influence. Same as why the UK and US deal is so hard. Also to your information, japan and EU made a deal, so your comment is more unlikely given the Options. India has just a minor role in ecenomics in us, yes. UK needs EU far more then the EU needs the UK. As obvious by the pure geography. UK as any island nation has a harder stand there.
      Anyway, you can ignore it all you want, but you cannot deny the immense shrinking of the financial sector in UK, after all most important one pre-brexit. As well as thr fact that every UK media, science and etc warns that it will be harder times for UK. EU denied the US deal, wich was way more important, it will deny the UK deal, if the UK not plays along the Rules everyone has to. For more informations. There are videos about this topic on this channel, would watch it if you wanna know how it be.

    For those who keep insisting "just don't buy it" remember:
    1) you won't necessarily know. Always going to check the "kids chicken nuggets" for country of origin, or meaty snacks? And what about the sandwich in your canteen or the burger van at the fair? And let's be honest, you're probably the type of person who would be outraged if you found out the NHS or state schools weren't using the cheapest suppliers possible ;-)
    2) They will make sure you won't know. The US is very anti-label (and have been almost since the dawn of its modern food industry); you think they'll spend millions on lobbying during the trade talks to be thwarted by a "raised in the UK" sticker? By the time they're done, "British" will mean everything from a cow raised on the lawn of Buckingham palace to someone with a Estuary accent touched it between the shipping container and the shop
    3) Most won't have a choice and neither will UK farmers. Due to terrible hygiene and welfare standards, US meat is cheaper. There are millions of people in poverty and 100s of thousands regularly relying on food banks. They will buy the cheapest option, and UK farmers cannot rely on Waitrose sales alone. The race to the bottom inherently means that food of a much lower standard than we have now will end up being the norm. And as point 1) I'm sure those making the "I'm too clever to buy it" argument would be outraged if people on benefits weren't willing to accept the cheapest possible protein.

      - The food is labelled, advertised and presented in a way that is not false or misleading under the Food Safety Act. Even if it was argued that Americans don't label the food: the supermarkets would be required to label the food as such to comply with such laws otherwise they would be breaking the law when selling it.

    I usually like your videos, but you have completely missed the point re. Chlorinated Chicken. The reason this is a problem is that in the UK our farmers have laws to protect animal welfare. The USA does not have such stringent laws and therefore their welfare is worse, meaning the birds are less healthy and therefore need to have more cleaning during processing to make sure that they not harmful to people who eat chicken. The use of antibiotics for animals is also much more liberal in the USA than the UK (which is a big problem brewing for humans). Therefore UK farmers have a higher production cost than USA farmers and will be unable to compete on price as we do not have the option to reduce animal welfare and increase antibiotic use (even if we wanted to!). Could you please put out an updated version of this video as it is misleading, the issue is about a level playing field for trading not chlorinated chicken.

      Also of note: chlorinating a chicken will mean that you can't detect diseases or pathogens in lab test, but most are only temporarily 'deactivated', as the chlorination doesn't remove them. Meaning that unless you are really thorough with your cooking, the possibility of getting food poisoning is infinitely higher than with EU chicken.

    Selling the NHS isn't particularly literal, it's the idea that the government will simply stop funding various functions that the NHS performs, and instead invite private companies to offer them at cost, perhaps then going full circle with the NHS then sending patients to these private clinics. Those private companies often just so happen to offer donations to the individuals or party in power, who can then use that power to grant the companies state money. We have already seen plenty of that happening, with the function stripping of the NHS to no longer provide dentistry or many prescriptions, with private companies like Boots and Superdrug popping up to offer those services at a fee.

And once the deal is done, the UK will have a hard time getting good deals with other countries, because the US will make sure, that none of these deals will hurt US corporations' interests.

    I've been following your stuff nearly from the beginning, and always liked the idea of (truly) independent news, delivered by a small news outlet, and had been thinking about supporting you on Patreon. But I have always struggled with the execution. There have always been errors in the graphics, mostly in the form of misspellings (albeit minor ones, but they have occurred quite regularly). In the beginning I didn't really mind that much, because the project was still young, and you did most, if not all of it yourself, Jack. But over time not only the team grew, but also the experience. And with growing experience (and a team), misspellings and other not only graphic errors should be decreasing.
    Sadly, this is not the experience I have with your content. Especially misspellings still occur, and on a quite regular basis. In this video, admittedly, there was none. But - and I would weigh that even more - you mispronounced a word … several times (all of them) … that was even spelled correctly in the graphics (all the time). So, you guys know the correct spelling of the word, but not the correct pronunciation. I am speaking of the word "arbitrator", which is not pronounced "arbitor".* So, I now finally had to unsubscribe from your main channel. I already had unsubscribed from the US one, but only because of lack of interest. I am still subscribed to the EU one. I only joined Patreon three months ago (I am very considerate and less impulsive), and was not enough convinced of, confident in your work to finally support you there. I'm sorry.
    You've been going for three years now, guys (congratulations by the way). You can do better!

    We’ve heard a lot about the down sides of this trade deal in the media. We’ve also heard a lot about what the US wants on their side of the deal (tariff free, low regulatory access to the U.K. market for their substandard food products and cars). What is it that we supposedly want? What exactly is wrong with the current deal that we want to change?
    Nobody seems to be asking what the benefits are of this deal, and UK gov hasn’t been forthcoming in telling us. I’m open minded about this, since I’m normally in favour of liberalisation, but it’s hard to be optimistic, since no one seems to be able to offer even a theoretical advantage of this, only downsides.

      finally a sane comment within this clusterf***, most people that comment on page just clearly hasn't even give any thought about what they are spewing, most of it is at best, ill informed and at worst out right lies, the practice of using chlorine to clean chicken.... you have been in the swimming pool? cos that has chlorine in it, eaten lettuce and cabbage, that goes through the EXACT SAME process as the dreaded "chlorinated chicken" and has been label safe by none other than the EU European Food Safety Authority.
      i see this potential trade deal is a positive light in reducing tariffs as that always negativity affect local industry as it increases bureaucracy (increase in cost and time for processing and transport of goods) and apply a inflationary price similar to the god awful VAT taxes
      joke is that if you remove that VAT tax completely you will see a massive economic boom just shy of the roaring 20s in a america, the cost of living and businesses will be plummeting(make it cheaper to buy and run your business) to a point where more people will be off of benefit and become net contributors to the system in terms of taxes and the deficit will decreased massively

    Much better, good explanation. If anybody in the UK can prove that chlorinated chicken is harmful, the US can not ever trade it in the UK. The UK only has to insist that country of origin is shown on products and if customers don't by it, the US won't supply it.
    The NHS is already purchasing patented pharmaceutical products from American companies. However, there are plenty of UK pharmaceutical companies who supply to the US also. The NHS should have an orchestrated procurement process to ensure fair pricing. No NHS hospital, doctor or nurse is ever "for sale". However, a deal with the US could open up new NHS services, and allow a profitable income from US patrons (or their insurance companies).

    _"Selling of the NHS"_ is a rather complex statement. And it doesn't necesarrily mean really selling it, but just ensure the money goes into the right pockets. The Budget of the health including the NHS for example in 2020 is 178 bn. In 2019 29% of this budget was given to private companies to do work in name of the NHS. Privatisation on this can also mean that just more and more budget goes to private companies until almost everything is private and the NHS exists in name only because there is nothing "National" in it anymore.

    • @AaronOkeanos
      @AaronOkeanos 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      In addition to that ...
      In 2020 we don't yet know the percentage of private companies on the 178 bn budget the numbers are not yet available, but it's expected to be far higher than in 2019 with 29% because of Corona. And the Johnson government lately only giving contracts out for health related stuff for private companies.
      "Selling of the NHS" in context of medicine and drugs also mean something else. The US trade deal wants the UK to import them from the US and pay the US american price for it (2-3 times higher) and to deny cheaper generic but equal replacements for a longer time the so called extended patent time (10 years). Meaning although there are chemical equal replacements which are much cheaper the UK can't sell them for 10 years longer than everybody else (except the US of course).

I know Brexit is complicated, but if they can put such a delicate and complicated system to an "in or out" vote in 2016, why not a "yes or no" vote for each policy? I don't care if I have to go to the polling station every 2 weeks. It's not like people did any reading when the Brexit vote came along anyway, they just voted for "ban the Muslims", so why not let them vote for "keep Britain British, we want our NHS and we want our glorious UK chicken". I guess the phrase "the enemy (racists and UK hardcore patriotism) of my enemy (Donald Trump and Big Pharma) is my friend" is ringing true right now. I'd happily let an alcoholic, racist builder with no GCSEs vote against making the UK more US if it meant keeping Donald Trump out.

    Our ex pat Forum asked a retired scientist what is chlorinated chicken.....This is the reply......There is a lot of rubbish talked about chlorinated chicken. Firstly, let us see what it really means. In the US, the abattoirs are conducted differently than in the EU and that it is just possible that some faecal matter may reach the skin. Secondly, a water spray is used to clean off any residual contamination. Thirdly, they are then sprayed with a cold very dilute solution of sodium hypochlorite which will disinfect the skin from any pathogens that could remain. After a few minutes, and in contact with any organic matter, the solution decomposes into sodium chloride aka common salt and this will be the only residual substance resulting from the treatment. This solution is the same as Milton, which is commonly used in the UK to disinfect/sterilise the baby's bottles. Please note that the disinfection is not with chlorine, which is a toxic gas, but with a common liquid sterilant.
    In the EU, the regulations of abattoirs ensure that faecal matter cannot reach the skin of the chicken. However, the skin is not sterilised and could easily harbour pathogens from other sources than the faecal matter.
    Which is safer? Personally, I am not convinced one way or another and I am not even sure of the best way to deal with a purchased chicken, which always seems to me to be a potential hotbed of undesirable pathogens, inside and out! :-( :-(

      Yes on normal trade deals you make deals on specific products and amounts and conditions like the UK has done with Australia, Vietnam and others. However in a Free Trade Deal there is nothing of that anymore that's the basic meaning of "Free".
      All products flow from one economy in the other. And that way even products from a 3rd country can be just redirected through the trade partner to you and vice versa. And also if a company decides to cheat a little, e.g. by exploiting workers a little more or use dangerous chemicals or methods to reduce the price they can overflow the trade-partner and make all companies in your country for that product go bust because they simply cannot compete with the price (or their government even forbids them to use the same methods).
      US will do this with agriculture and food with the UK. They can have their low standard while the UK farmern needs to keep their higher standards ... and go bust in the process.
      Even more unfair: Imagine you have a Free Trade deal. The other country is giving their farmers yearly subsidies which helps them to have a lower price on products. On Free Trade deals they can overflow your market with their cheaper goods. Your own companies cannot sell the same product for the same or a lower price and therefore go bust no more jobs from that, no more taxe-income from that and costs for imports instead. You actually paying to ruin your own companies and helping theirs.
      That's the reason why the EU is so insistent on the Level Playing Field because it sets the rules for both side on which Free Trade Happens without unfair advantages for either side.

The system in the UK is very imbalanced in a way that you effectively have no option with private healthcare prices. The competition doesn't exist which makes waiting times, quality of care, and prices far worse than it should be. This creates a binary choice between ridiculous waiting times and ridiculous prices.
