HOW is it that France can blame contaminated British beef, and get away with it? It's just another Euro con against our country.

France slaughtered just three herds of cattle after 16 cases of Mad Cow disease were reported there.

Also, is French veal banned? Remember, many of the calves came from the UK.

Other countries must surely have used the cattle feed, which came from Holland and which led to BSE.
