It is very obviously another xenophobic anti-foreigner bias, just like the whole immigration 'control of borders' issue was anti-foreigner. What decisions taken by the EU were not good for the UK? Buying 66 percent of British fish which the British didn't want to buy? Allowing UK services companies to sell their products EU wide? Looking at this unbelievable Greek-Style bribery budget that will indebt future UK generations to come you should really delegate ALL your decision making to Europe. Much better for you. 24 minutes ago, Laughing Gravy said: So with that, once again for you, it means the UK can make their own decisions on who they can trade with, how much food they can produce and how they can fish their own waters. Except it doesn't, isn't the British fisheries industry pushing the UK government to ensure it has tariff free access to EU markets because it sells 66% of all its catch to EU countries? Isn't the EU desperately trying to secure tariff free access to EU markets now in trade talks that will continue until the end of the year? You're basically trying to trade with the same people, only on much worse terms. How will Brexit benefit British fisherman who have to sell 66% of their catch to EU consumers? Do you really think you will sell your Herring to New Zealand instead? Trust me. You won't. How free is a bird from the chains of the sky? You're not living in a vaccuum in the UK.

They have no other choice. They will not sell 66% of their herring to New Zealand, Australia, Canada or Jamaica. They have no other choice but to sell it to the EU. So if the UK does not play nice with the EU and agrees to abide by EU rules and laws, the EU will impose tariffs on British fish. And the British fishermen will just pay these tariffs, true, because they have no other choice. This is not better than the status quo whereby the British could sell fish free of tariffs, without any problems whatsoever as full members of the EU. And the fishermen will be one of many loser sectors that willl suffer from Brexit. Name me which sectors will benefit from Brexit?

You see the UK does not want the fish British fisherman catch. The British don't like Herring. That's why British fishermen sell 66% of all their fish in the EU. As for freezing the Herring and selling it in other non-eu countries you may want to float this master plan with the British fisheries industry that is pushing the UK government to ensure tariff free access to EU markets. I'm sure they haven't thought of that. You could be the saviour of a whole industry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except they're not independent are they? Their UK fishermen will still depend on the EU buying almost all the fish UK fisherman catch. Their financial industry keeps sending begging letters to Barnier to clarify already if equivalence will work because the UK's financial industry depends on passporting rights. Their football teams will still depend on fielding 98% foreign players (and still losing to Leipzig which as a team costs 200 million pound less than Tottenham) and the money of Sheikhs. How independent is the UK now really? Is the UK independent of all the foreign banks that make the City what it is? Is the UK independent of foreign markets? Is the UK independent from creditors who finance UK pensions year after year by buying UK government bonds year after year?
