Absolutely awful, and only possible because of Brexit.

I signed a petition about this a couple of days ago but didn’t realise it was down to this trade deal. I’ll try to find it and do a link.

I lived in Malaya as a child. I loved it there. It is so sad to see everything happening there now.

Maybe if they had stayed with Europe they would have been discouraged from making deals like this.

Yes- the EU has rules in place.

It is absolutely unbearable WW
We are such an evil species.
I’m going to get stick for this, but I do think it will be a good thing when we eventually get wiped out.
We are like a vile virus destroying our host

When we were on holiday in The Maldives, we experienced a couple of days of hazy sunshine, and were told that it was because of the forests being burned in Malaysia. Imagine the fear and pain those wonderful apes are going through.

Look at a map and the distance between the Maldives and Malaysia.

I weep at our inhumanity.

Where shall I go once it is all gone?

The UK’s latest trade deal with Asia will see the UK abandon European regulations and previous tariffs on palm oil at the behest of Malaysia – a country notorious for its rife logging, resource extraction, exploitation, corruption and land-grabbing.

Signed today, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) will bring a mere 0.08% to Britain’s economy at the expense of environmental safeguarding against a product linked to mass deforestation.

The demand for palm oil has decimated forests across south-east Asia.
