Yet we want to import cheap food from the US. Always knew Brexiteers

Could we not just choose to buy English food/chicken rather than US.

You could, although many will just go for what the supermarket has
on the
shelf at the best price - assuming they even get the choice. As with so
much else, many require protection from themselves. But do realise that
won't go down well with many on this group where making a fast buck
is all
that matters.

Personal freedom counts. The right to protect ourselves from
incompetent, corrupt bureaucrats. They say they do it for our own
good but they line their own pockets while "protecting" us.

Which is why we had to leave the EU


I've never got this argument.

Yep, I fully understand that EU bureaucrats are corrupt, incompetents
lining their own pockets. The thing is that Westminster bureaucrats are
the same. Local councils too, for that matter.

Of course. However, I prefer that my money is stolen by someone within
relatively easy reach so that when I eventually snap I don't have to
travel too far.
