Apart from which it's only the cheap pizza-and-KFC-bound crap that will be affected, proper UK-sourced organic chicken won't be. Which is what most sensible people buy anywayI am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by malvolio View PostTrue, but luckily, we are not bound by US regulations.
Except for the minor detail that all food products for commercial sale have to have their country of origin marked. So unless the US wants to sue every retailer in the UK as well as the UK and the EU governments - since we will be mirroring EU rules for quite a while yet as the trade talks roll on, as per the WA - that is not much of a threat.
As for your suggestion that once we have left the EU, that the US would be suing “EU governments” for decisions the UK makes, that’s just ludicrous.Comment

Interestingly though the Tories aren't more popular than under May, they still got 43%.I'm alright JackComment

That's how trade deals work. China will be forced to introduce new laws to get their deal with Trump as will the UK.
The US won't stand for a deal where UK consumers simply don't buy US products because of strict labelling rules. US Chickens will have Union Jacks printed all over them, they will be sold to shell companies in the UK and be labelled "UK sourced".
The UK will be forced to change its laws and you will not be able to choose your chicken. US producers are not fools, they will obfuscate so you have no idea who "made" your chicken
Either the UK will be tied to the EU as a defacto member or it will need to change to adapt to the US.
After Australia signed its deal with the US, US exports went down and US imports went up.Last edited by BlasterBates; 14 December 2019, 10:26.I'm alright JackComment

Australia signed a trade deal with the US in 2005. Obviously regulations needed to be aligned.
Straight in the bin: Mother's horror after noticing her Coles chicken is GREEN - but the supermarket chain says there's nothing wrong with it
A mother's roast dinner came to an abrupt end after she discovered that her Coles-bought chicken was green inside.
Perth woman Lisa Wood was enjoying a meal with her four-year-old daughter on Tuesday night when she noticed the BBQ chicken they had been eating was discoloured.
Ms Wood posted a photo of the chicken to Coles' Facebook page, saying she felt sick after the discovery and had thrown the chicken straight in the bin.I'm alright JackComment
