“I have Captain Obvious on line one...”

Now now - it has been obvious that a good number of people have never understood the value of the scope of the 'fishing topic' in support of the UK's negotiations throughout the last year - so I can understand some feel a further need to 'scrape the (increasingly smelly fishing) barrel'

But I am moving on and looking to the future - which, with regards the fishing industry, relates to:

a) The here and now - the contribution to the deal that has been secured due to squeezing the EU's dependency

b) The now and future - the increased scope for our fishing fleet and the freedom for our government to invest in the industry over the coming years

and

c) The future - we get the chance to prepare to squeeze that lemon (sole?) all over again in a few years

I hold out hope that some will be less obviously just desperate and largely irrelevant attempts that take some effort to bat off ;-)

Actually - that is not true - I hope that they remain exactly at the same level.

That means that there continues to be little of substance as regards downsides for the UK, for which we should all be grateful - and responding kills time whilst the 7,000 lorries are preparing to converge on Kent (I am running for cover then)

Especially, UK fishermen...honestly, too funny.

Well, not for UK fishing obviously, but then the silly twats did vote for Brexit.

I did, and he's saying what we already know, the current cod stocks are 84%
caught by the French, and that we haven't got the infrastructure to expand
our share. This now is being addressed, and the fleet is to be built up, their percentage is reduced by 25% over 5 years, we then control 66%, far, far more
than the present.
And no way on god's earth is that bloke a leave voter, his first words were the '£350 mill on the side of a bus' which has been the cry of remainers for 5 years.

The Irish should have done too, then maybe the Jocks wouldn't be stopping their boats.
That's funny.

So is it worth buying a trawler ?

Just going through your maths....84% caught by the French, reduced by 25% over five years, UK then control 66%? Is that right? Doesn’t seem right? Is this Brexit maths? Are there unicorns?

Tell you what, how about you tackle the issues raised on lack of access to Norwegian waters or non tariff barriers to actually selling the catch. Real people with real issues, being raised today.

I would put the order on hold for the time being.

I have no idea why Brexiteers are getting excited over this. Is it because you think we will be sinking ships soon (try saying that fast)?

Enlighten me.
