Johnson agrees to be chlorine washed to prove American chicken ‘standards’
With Brexit looming, Britain may soon be importing lower quality meats from America – a move which will really show those EU slugs who’s boss. The most notable addition to our menus will be chlorinated chickens. One MP who’s in favour of these ultra-clean birds is Boris Johnson. To prove how much, he agreed to be chlorine washed himself.

Despite seeming like a grand gesture, it’s been alleged that Johnson has some experience with this sort of thing. According to one former aide, the MP washes with chlorine every day to, “wash the smell of commoners off”. This is supposedly why his hair looks like that, and also why he reminds people of a verruca.

As a real test, Johnson was asked to eat some chlorinated chicken. He refused this point blank, saying:
I’m more of a CFG chap than a KFC man.
After looking it up, we discovered that ‘CFG’ stood for ‘Cambridge Flambéd Goose’. Notably, it uses ‘hand-reared, caviar fed geese’ – suggesting this chlorinated chicken issue won’t actually affect the people pushing for it.

The only answer to this garbage is simply don’t buy it, if it says no country of origin, which would be a good sign it is garbage leave it where it is.
“the MP washes with chlorine every day”
Well there’s chlorine in tap water you know. Do all you posh Corbynites use Evian?
