The way #brexit is contributing to the death of the classic British Fish and Chips shop is one of the most amazing self inflicted wounds. The nationalism ended up undermining the economics of the national dish.

It’s not only Brexit but also inflation. It simply costs way too much to buy what amounts to be some potatoes (local) and some fish (local). Conversely I am hoping Brexit might actually force the UK to realise that we have great local food resources and to serve the local population first rather than export it all. I mean our langoustine is awesome but instead we ship it all abroad.
Brexit convinced me not to move back to the UK, my birthplace. I didn't want to raise my kids in an inward-turning society, looking for scapegoats, building walls that had taken 45 years to demolish.
And now the UK must learn to love eating the abundant local mackerel.
