And no-where to sell all that fish.

What a trump card that is ????

Why nowhere to sell the same fish?

Because of trade tariffs with your biggest market.

Please try and keep up.

Just waiting for the French fishermen to play their hand, then find we have trumped them and got out No Deal with our fish intact.

I see that you, and all the others, have ignored my questions about the effect on British fishermen who fish in EU waters and/or land their catch in the EU:

Not surprised.

Don't say that they can fish in UK waters instead. They are mainly small boats catching shellfish inshore. Impossible to convert to a deep sea North Atlantic trawler!

Don't say that they can sell their catch in the UK. Their main catch are spider crabs and crawfish. A friend of mine who catches these off the South Devon coast tells me that he sells 99% of his catch to France because they are not very popular in the UK.

It seems that as long as you get your no deal and so stick it to the French, you don't care about the many British fishermen who will lose their livelihoods!

Remainers try to tell us that tariffs will mean the UK will be forced to consume all the same products at higher prices. Not true but hey ho.

Do you think that EU fish eaters will simply all stop eating fish?

Please try and wise up.

Or will they get them from other sources like Ireland, Norway and Iceland for a cheaper price?

Look. No deal is going to be rough. There are going to be things that we used to sell to the EU which we cant or indeed will be selling a lot less of.

Its simply market forces at work.

So from now on all you Brexiteers will simply need to start eating things you didnt before in order to support our domestic producers.

Whats wrong with going into the chip shop and asking for a spider crab supper with brown sauce and some pickles?

Its your patriotic duty to change your dietary habits.

So are you saying that UK importers, wholesalers and retailers will absorb the increases caused by the tariffs? That they'll not pass those increases onto consumers?

Are you really that naïve?

Or do you believe the British people will stop eating imported fruit and vegetables, going back several centuries and only eating produce grown in the UK and only then when it's in season.

Are you really trying that twisting words trick again? It's not what I said is it?

Remainers forecast that we will pay more. We may easily buy less EU produce, or cheaper imports. I believe the British people will make the choice, without having the EU make the decisions for us.

Now, compare that back to the points regarding fish supplies.

You do realise that WTO rules mean the same tariffs on all imports; but then, maybe you don't.

Indeed; choose between more expensive imported products, or only buy British. Which will cut down severely on choice.

The EU have never decided for me what food, or any other product, I buy. But when we were a member, I was able to buy EU products cheaper and in the case of food with the certainty that it met a certain hygiene standard!

Wont have that under WTO rules, where even the country of origin wont necessarily have to be on the package.

No comparison. The British consumer will have to pay more for food of possible lower quality, while at the same time hundreds of British inshore fishermen will lose their livelihoods.

A sacrifice you are willing to make. But then, you wont be affected!

If you are capable of correcting the grammar to two questions, feel free.

Same tariffs of how much? Are they lower than the EU tariffs on all Third Country produce?

We will be able to choose from the whole world.

You could not choose US chicken or beef products because the EU wouldn't let you.

There will be more jobs for British fishermen, not less.

No great sacrifices, just freedom from the EU.

Don't know, yet. But if we leave on no deal and WTO rules, as you have repeatedly claim that you want, then those tariffs will be higher than any we currently pay via EU trade deals with those countries.

As we could before. In my kitchen I have stuff from many non EU countries. Some of which the EU has trade deals with; some they don't.

48 minutes ago, Loiner said:

Only those products which don't meet minimum hygiene standards; such as chlorinated chicken and hormone injected beef. That'll change after 1/1/21; and they wont even have to say 'chlorinated' or 'hormone fed' on the label!

48 minutes ago, Loiner said:

How so?

As the HoC briefing paper I linked to shows, most, if not all, UK deep sea boats already fish in UK waters; already land their catch mainly in the UK.

It is inshore fishermen who fish in EU waters and/or sell their catch to EU countries. How will they keep their current jobs, let alone increase them, if denied access to those waters; denied access to that market?

Easy to say; when it's not you who will be making the sacrifice.

You understand that fishing makes up 0.12% of the UK's GDP?

It involves 0.1% of the UK's workforce.

And you want to screw up a trade deal with the EU because of that?

Admit it. Fishing actually means absolutely nothing to you but you have been dog whistled into believing its something major.

Or the dire effects of a no deal Brexit which Cummings et al dismissed at the time as 'Project Fear?'

I not sure how asking you what you voted for in response to your saying "I got what I voted for" is "going off on a tangent!"

As I must have missed your posts where you actually said why you voted leave, perhaps you could point me towards one of them, or if not then repeat those reasons here?

I expect he will treat this deadline in exactly the same way as he did his "I'd rather be dead in ditch than agree Brexit extension" commitment last year!

Brexit: Barnier mocks Johnson's 'third deadline' on talks
Chief negotiator says little prospect yet of EU and UK entering ‘tunnel’ negotiations

Daniel Boffey in Brussels
Tue 13 Oct 2020 15.35 BST

Michel Barnier has mocked Boris Johnson for issuing a “third unilateral deadline” during a meeting with EU ministers, warning that the Brexit talks remain difficult with little prospect yet of the two sides entering a decisive “tunnel” negotiation.

With 48 hours remaining before an EU leaders’ summit in Brussels, by which time the British prime minister has demanded a breakthrough moment, the bloc’s chief negotiator suggested a deal was “very difficult but still possible”, according to diplomatic sources.

He noted that Johnson had twice previously suggested that the UK needed the certainty of a deal by a specific date, only to later backtrack. “It is the third unilateral deadline that Johnson has imposed without agreement,” Barnier was said to have remarked. “We still have time.”

agree with Barnier's We still have time,

still plenty of time left IF the parties want to clinch a deal

there are solid bunches of clever people in both Brussels and London that know all the crossed t's and all the dotted i's

on all the draft material by heart

the writing up can easily be expedited if the parties agree

the approval process by both UK and EU can also be epedited if need be

not sure I agree with that view

this is about giving thumbs up for a POT text, piece of treaty text between EU and UK,

when it comes to int. law there are always ways and means if the will is there,

int. law is soft as double cr@p - means for bending are endless if the will is there

if an agreed deal is hacked between UK and EU's Heads of State body,

many parliaments in EU member states will never see the text on their agenda for approval,

it will be sorted by the Cabinet in a bunch of countries

You maybe not know but the small Walloon parliament in Belgium kept the Canada deal a long way off …., Europe politics is quit different than the polarized system from U.K. & USA they have a say and an informing powers , they have to compromise all the times

No need to be agreed ….it is so already 4 years , why would they change now ….? As compare it with a patient in hospital , doctor say the one leg must cut off or you die....., patient like both his legs …., but like to live …, so cutting it shall be ….

my vote and my call? not so sure of that, am comfortable with leaving the final heat to BJ and his pommies

yes I know about the Walloon parliament, and I also know about some of the parliametarian rights of your German

speaking minority

Belgium, one of the oddest countries in Europe, even the moule eating croakers had to give in at the end.

Sure, can be done again, holding up, but nee way your croakers will succeed in ditching a deal if ever reached,

croakers can be stubborn and prinicipal and moules doesn't give that much strength . . .

me thinks

no need to be agreed?

if a so called deal is to surface of course it must be agreed

have a go at Gewurztraminer with your next moule aioli, pretty tasty on a Wednersday
