A Brexiteer who is looking forward to having fish and chips served in newspaper wrapping back once we leave the European Union made the painful discovery that it is actually a UK law yesterday.

Phoning in to James O’Brien’s LBC radio show the 70-year-old woman named Christine followed in Boris Johnson’s footsteps by using a fishy example of how EU red tape has stifled Britain.

She said: “We used to have our fish and chips in newspaper and then it was deemed that it was wrong.

“Now, when we used to have our fish and chips in a newspaper there weren’t loads of people that went down with tummy upsets and things like that.

“It had a beautiful smell to it and I can remember that smell now and how lovely it was. “

But the EU wasn’t responsible for this law. It was actually introduced by the British government under the 1990 Food Safety Act.

The caller also came a cropper after referencing Wetherspoons as an example of why she was happy to leave the EU under a no-deal.

She said owner Tim Martin has begun sourcing different types of alcohol from elsewhere in the world following the referendum result to offset any reprecussions from a hard exit from the EU.

But as O’Brien pointed out, he was only able to do that as a member of the European Union and the trade deals he has utilised would cease to exist under a no-deal.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
