Teresa May says "the law failed to protect" them. Surely, it's not the law that's failed, but rather those who are meant to follow it. If orgs don't follow the laws, then however strict they are, they are not going to protect anybody. Are there going to be any consequences to McDs or supermarkets?
Chris Masons of this world are bored (not to mention their masters)! Writing about policy is dull; daily arrays of juicy scandals and heaps of non sequiturs aren't on offer; what's a jobbing journo to do? Fictional analyses of non-existent scandals are fun, on tap and endlessly expandable!

Govt are looking to "downgrade several types of food imports from the “medium” to “low” risk category–including turnips, beetroot, carrot, ginger, sweet potato, turmeric, celeriac, swede, horseradish and radishes – meaning they would face fewer checks." That'll make all the difference in the world.
Look in German, surely there is a contraption that'll fit 😉
