      Funny the deplorable breixidiots make such a fuzz about fisheries, the only fish they ever eat is at the chippy's which is more fat and batter then fish

        But it still does have fish in it right?

        Which has to come from somewhere?

          Which could be anywhere from EU and EEA waters, fished out of the sea by British fishermen if we had stayed in

            Yes but it could just come from our waters - not sure what is wrong with that.

            If the EU want to negotiate to use our waters that's fine - but saying that 'you are not going to a deal unless you get access to our waters' is really just an opening gambit.

            Here's a good idea - how about we don't and then we watch Nissan pull out of Europe if the EU try to impose silly tariffs.

            But don't worry we will sell the fish to EU countries for a decent price - assuming the EU does not decide to slap too much of a tariff on that.

              Something like 80% of fish caught by UK Fishermen is exported (on a JIT basis) to the EU.

              Pretty much all west coast fishing is based around species that have hardly any UK market. Without a tariff free/friction free/barrier free trade agreement with the EU, 2/3rds of UK fishing is ****ed.
              When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....

                "We"? You've decided not to become a citizen. Where do you get the "We" from?

                  Scotland? Who gives a ****? They'll be back in the EU before you can say "The ******* English are ruining our lives, fetch mae Tam I'm off tae teach theys Redcoats a lesson!". Or something like that.

                    I suspect the replies will be to attack the person, not the argument.
                    Fishing and “rights” are things that will disappear unless our government is actually interested in preserving them or negotiating.
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
