Fishery fears

No need for any “hard Brexit” if the EU agrees a sensible, mutually beneficial, no-strings free trade deal.

Jock Tamson The UK leaving is the equivalent of between 16-19 EU member states leaving in one go. Except a handful of countries which included Britain, the rest are net receivers. I worked many years at the EC and the impression I got is Britain was tolerated as it was a massive contributor of funds, like the Germans, and accepts the EU diktat unlike France, which shows two fingers up if those rules where inconvenient.

Boris Johnson will need to strike a fishing deal which allows EU states access to British waters in forthcoming Brexit trade talks, the Irish Taoiseach has warned. Leo Varadkar even hinted that Britain’s fishing industry could find itself frozen out of EU markets if no deal is struck.

Varadkar looks to be on his way out. He is with the EU on this issue as they are keeping his country above the euro waters. There will be talks and Varadkar should keep Rockall on this issue. He may have been a good little boy over Brexit but in the great scheme of things in the EU he will soon be yesterday’s headline.

Hasn’t taken long for the direct and veiled threats to start being fired! Why is it that EU leaders seem to think the world revolves around them?

So who will the EU buy their fish from, Switzerland?

At the moment EU fishermen can take more fish from British waters than British fishermen! Sod that for a game of soldiers! Scots fishermen will want their livelihoods protected – until Nickla hands Scottish fish over to the EU!

Carolyn Devine The EU screwed our fishermen and made them sell boats because they weren’t allowed catches, so screw the foreign fishermen as they never worried about us.
