  Feels like when a bunch of kids steal my shirt and throw it around. Then when I finally catch it I think I’ve won. Except all I did really was get my shirt back and they’ve thrown my shoes in the bushes.

    Except there are no kids, you did it all to yourself. Making us twice as crazy

  Yep. By following EU rules on the items we sell. With no control of those rules. Exactly as remainers claimed.

    On items we sell to the EU. Critical omission.

      Nope. We are required to keep our food standards equal to the EU.

      So also on items we sell to ourselves. Not an omission at all. And the very point that brexiters kept arguing. We have always been able to sell to other nations using Thier standards. We are not allowed to accept other standards.

        You’re claiming that the deal with the EU contains clauses which obligate the UK to use the EU’s rules for food sold domestically in the UK?
