Ridiculous question, Mythica. We are just as capable of enacting laws that are good for us. More capable, in fact, because UK laws are written more succinctly and do not require the degree of interpretation as EU laws.

EU law is needlessly complex and over the top, requiring companies to have an army of lawyers to interpret them, increasing costs. Which inevitably leads to increased prices.

If there is a problem with hygiene in the US chicken industry, then any trade deal with the US can address this and require appropriate standards to be applied. As long as they were reasonable, there is no reason for the US to object as this would be opening up a whole new market for US farmers.

We could send out our inspectors to check on those standards, just as we do to prevent child labour in the clothing industry.

And for those who do not wish to eat chlorinated chicken for whatever reason, look for the labels and buy alternatives.
