Seems to me that a hell of lot people are happy to travel to the states stuff themselves on their food without a care in the world, whatever is said there is far more crap eaten in the EU than in the states.
Talk of chlorinated chicken etc is useful when negotiating but doesn't really mean a bloody thing in reality!

Not the parts I've been to.

I do agree on the chlorinated chicken though, no one seems to want their chicken washed in chlorine but seem quite happy to swill down gallons of it yearly in their drinking water.

“What right had the American mission to come to this country? To come here in a breach of hospitality on one nation toward another–to attempt to stir up strife in matters in which they were not connected?”

Let me get my head around this 1919 quote from Carson. At the time the British Empire was at it’s zenith. Lord and master of half the world.
At the same time Mr. Carson figures USA, or any other country for that matter should “butt out”!

Irony or what?

I would think that there are many Irish that would ask that question of Uk

trouble is we live in a very interconnected world and things we do in our own country may have effects on other counties ,so off course will make their views known as they may not want to have to deal with said effects. and the bigger more powerful a country is the more you have to pay heed

Charles de Gaulle said something similar when he made the comment that he wanted to see all Amercan troops off French soil, the reply he received was “does that include those in the cemeteries “

Watching ITV's Julia Bradbury in the Greek Islands, not sure EU food standards are being held up by goats cheese producer in the mountains, having been to mainland Greece a few times I think you can say standards are a just little casual compared with the UK, perhaps this has gone unnoticed by EU big wigs
