Yes. Exactly my view. There is also a perception that our bureaucrats
are better at enforcing legislation than those elsewhere in Europe.

they almost certainly are,

but coming out is not going to change that

No, but it may mean that we get to choose the legislation we enforce.

as the Spanish et al have shown, we can choose not to enforce it now

but we don't do that sort of thing in this country

You do actually. Even Britain isnt actually stupid enough
to pay the immense cost of having inspectors check the
time between the application of a spray and harvest
time with every single crop in the country.

Britain doesnt even do the most basic checks like whether
what is claimed to not be horse meat actually isn't horse meat.
