    It contains creosote derivatives which are now regarded as
    carcinogens. Not sure if creosote is still available as a timber >preservative--haven't seen it on sale for a few years.

    Gallons of creosote in Bunnings, bought some about 6 months ago. But I
    seem to recall JF was just dropped as a victim of the times.

    Along with Jeyes toilet paper (presented similarly to boxes of tissues but heavier grade).

    You and Mr Milne are both replying to a discussion held 12 years ago.

    Whatever is causing this, it is not linked to political leanings.
