You and other Brexiters seem obsessed with the fishing industry which contributes a very small proportion of GDP to the country - about a third of that contributed by Harrods! Maybe that's because it's the only industry that favoured Brexit. But now, many fishermen are now facing up to the bleak reality of no deal and realising that it will destroy their livelihood. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/10...e-deal-eu-deal
Andrew, no! You have so many misconceptions!

First of all, on the chicken issue. So we have different standards. So what? Do you really see that as a barrier? If so, why? Please explain.

As for the fishing industry, this is just one small part of the problem we have with being part of the EU.

I don’t know you, but by the sound of it, you are left leaning politically. So your apparent dismissal of the plight of our fishermen does make me wonder which side of the fence you are actually on. These people have been sacrificed for the sacred EU, despite any principles toward the plight of the working man. I don’t know how any Labour supporters can seriously agree with the policies that have inflicted upon the fishing community. Seems like their only hope lies with the Conservatives.

Maybe other working class people should ponder that, too. Labour policies make the poor poorer.
