Well.....‘But me, I am looking to the future...’
I‘m sure you are, and at great speed, as the alternative is owning the piles of poo you are striding through on the way to the fucking future.
The 84% refers to cod, he said the French, but he means the EU, take thisJust 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.
Overall the outcome of Brexit is completely and totally beyond my very best expectations pre-2016By distractions do you mean the various reports in the media about the effects of raising trade barriers overnight? Or the House committee on NI listening to the reports on shortages and lorries being turned away at the new customs border between GB and NI which the UK Govt, and yourself, pretend doesn‘t exist?
Yeah, it must be a bit tedious trawling through dozens of sources in attempts to discredit what we voted for, and re running 2016. As nothing seems to be being discussed about the actual point of the thread, I'll give it a swerve for a while.We must be careful not to get distracted by the very obvious and deliberate - well distractions.
I am going to try and not respond to the baiting and goading - there is an increasingly rosy future becoming apparent and we can afford to just be happy
TBF - we should show some understanding - they have spent years predicting with 100% confidence - what events will come to pass - and these are being/have been proven to be spectacularly wrong.
The options are limited - just accepting and being grateful as this is best for the UK would be an obvious one
Going full on in denial is another. I actually do not think that there is an attempt to persuade you, me or anyone that can read and assess the reality of January 2021
I think that it is both a mutual support narrative and an attempt for reality to be denied
We might have reacted the same - I like to think not - should the 7,000 lorry queues and empty shops materialised.
Just had to lol there!but I am afraid that there is nothing that you can say or any straw that you can clutch that has the remotest chance of having even a miniscule impact on my happiness.
Just felt it needed to be said - to remove false hopeJust had to lol there!
The 84% refers to cod, he said the French, but he means the EU, take this
amount in the channel, the 25%, graduated, is for catch in British waters, the total catch rises to 66%. I think you knew this, unless the unicorn kept it from you.
We all know that whatever bollocks Frost and Johnson served up at the end of last year would be greeted as a huge triumph by you. You're fooling no one (maybe with the exception of Ancient) with this triumphalist nonsense. We've already seen EU exporters not willing to export to the UK, UK exporters giving up on exporting to the EU, share dealing moving from London, the market for fish exports disappearing, empty shelves in NI due to EU customs between GB and NI, whole swathes of food products not allowed to be exported, record support for Scottish independence, people held up travelling to their homes in the EU and countless other consequences. These are the things being called minor inconveniences by you presumably because they've not directly affected your own little Brexit wonderland yet.Overall the outcome of Brexit is completely and totally beyond my very best expectations pre-2016
When thinking back to how I was feeling in 2017-2019, as Remainer May shamefully fucked the UK over, then the outcome of December 2020 is absolutely off the fucking scale better than my best hopes, aspirations and dreams - I am totally and utterly delighted with where we are.
Now I know that you do not want me to feel this way - and I accept that you are not able to share the joy - but I am afraid that there is nothing that you can say or any straw that you can clutch that has the remotest chance of having even a miniscule impact on my happiness.
But - I am happy for you to try and I will respond in as positive manner as I can.
I would point out though, that the examples you have been giving about some fishing difficulties, or a few lorries having a problem, or.......
Do not seem to represent the scale of disaster that you and others have been predicting for years.
In summary - are these; somewhat isolated inconveniences a price worth paying for the achievement of getting the UK the fuck out of the EU - and on the road to becoming a genuinely independent state
IMO - you bet they fucking are.

You clearly have zero idea what we negotiated or what the WA and the deal means for the UK going forward.
You have no conception of what the NI/GB customs border in the Irish Sea means for the UK. Now, Lord Moylan is tad hysterical (well he is a Tory and Brexiteer), but at least it’s finally sinking in.
’What’s happening to N Ireland is barely noticed in Great Britain. The province, with no democratic consent, is being turned rapidly into an economic colony of the EU’
The extent of the damage you are willing the UK to suffer to go precisely no where is remarkable. Even individual hardships of your fellow countrymen is a price you are willing to pay, but then the hardships of others is always easy to bear.
