I was a kid about 30+ years ago. I don't remember ever having chips wrapped in news paper. This must have happened decades ago.
Were they used / returned newspapers? I assume so, because it would be cheaper to buy blank bits of paper otherwise. If so, that seems pretty gross.
I understand nostalia, and get that different things become important to different people, but it's so weird to try to make a political point from something so trivial.

The caller was asked to name one policy enforced by the EU that is bad for UK. They went with this.

It isn't weird. It's a surprisingly common tool - see "The EU won't let us sell straight bananas / bunches of fewer than three", etc.

Just listening to LBC call in on brexit.
