The EU banned Sodium Chlorate as it is harmful to the environment and people. @Joey66 used, roughly about 50kg of the stuff in his 40 years as a Horticulturalist. He also thinks it's the same think as Sodium Chloride, which is salt.Joey, no weedkiller has been banned, what the hell are you talking about??
His argument, throughout today, is that he wanted to leave the EU, because they unnecessarily banned one thing, which he mistakenly thinks is the same as another. Because his his mind Sodium Chlorate (which is harmful) is the same as salt (not harmful)
His evidence for this is 'they mine salt in Cheshire and put in on the roads' and his qualifications on COSHH.
