To Liz Truss, national identity seems to be largely about cheese. A love letter to British cheese. “We import two-thirds of our cheese,” Truss says, with a facial expression that seems to threaten imminent violence. While you could technically increase the proportion of British cheese we consume by banning Dutch gouda, you then wouldn’t have any Dutch gouda. Removing tariffs, then, would help keep prices low, should the cunning and insidious French flood the market with characteristically fraudulent stilton.
