BRB WITH LUTE.
@NicoleSykes_ @anandMenon1 @UKandEU @drsarah_hall @pmdfoster @jillongovt When a humble shipment
Graced a customs post
At the Port of Dover
Along came this fooorm

When the HRMC sought
A proper valuation
The appropriate stamps
Accusations of fraud did they level

They came after fees
With questions on receipts
And so cried the shipper
It's just meat

So as an abusive cop you get...

1️⃣ Qualified immunity plus anonymous uniforms to protect you from the public.

2️⃣ A culture of fraternal loyalty and a 'together in the foxhole' mentality to protect you from your peers.

3️⃣ A hair trigger union to protect you from your bosses.
In economics and trade we often look to where the policy and commercial incentives are pushing people for clues on how they might act.

Just saying.
Should add at least historically:

4️⃣ Inherent respect and a strong presumption of innocence and honesty from the judicial system and most of the general public.

Soldiers have commited no end of illegal horrors with only 1️⃣2️⃣&4️⃣.

I can't believe I have to clarify this but: My explanation of a policy isn't an endorsement of it.
Me: Here's how the Government's dual tariff chlorinated chicken proposal would work.

I've screenshotted and anonymised it for a reason, please don't go track them down and pile on.

1/ A lot of confusion over the latest rumored UK thinking on US Chlorinated Chicken and dual tariffs.

A thread to explain the idea as simply as I can (but it's complicated so apologies in advance).

telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/…
2/ "So, what's the proposal?"

Currently, import of chlroine washed chicken is banned in the UK (and EU).

The idea would be to lift that ban and then in an FTA with the US, lower tariffs on ONLY the chicken which ISN'T chlorine washed.
3/ "Why?"

Chlorine washing a chicken to clean it after slaughter enables production methods (how you raise and treat chickens) that are cheaper, but aren't allowed in the UK.

This provides farmers in the US who employ these methods a cost advantage over UK competitors.
