This cartoon shows a couple of trees with sad faces. The one in the foreground is labelled “The tree of regulation” and has several fruits which are labelled: human rights, win win, nature, citizens rights and other benefits of regulation. Close by 2 men are crouched around a fallen rotten fruit with a worm protruding. One man is wearing a tie, carrying a briefcase labelled Forever Chemicals Ltd, and wielding a saw. The other man is wearing a tie with EU stars on, and is pointing to the mouldy fruit saying “This will do for PFAS”. Cartoon by @CartoonRalph
