Why are remainers suddenly obsessed by fishing, they were telling us just over a month ago to give all our fish to the EU because that was the only way to get a good deal, now all of a sudden the have gone from Bitter Lemons to a Fisherman Friend.

It seems Irish exports will be going direct to mainland Europe, rather than transiting a third country, so we could find ourselves an island nation with greatly diminished ports and harbours. 

 

At least we can maintain our own money-laundering laws.

Funny how the Remainers and euros are all complaining about UK fishermen's problems and now appear to be supporting fishermen. Only a couple of weeks ago they were all telling us that the fishing industry was only 0.1% of our economy and not worth bothering about.

Why are Brexiteers who were so determined to protect our fisheries even if it meant no deal, now so dismissive of the problems Brexit has brought them?

 

Why are Brexiteers who were so sure that Brexit meant the UK regaining sovereignty over UK waters now making feeble excuses to cover up the fact that it hasn't?

I asked you first.

I have read so many remainers posts about fishing not being important and how it is only worth 0.05% of our GDP and how we should have given it all to the EU because it is not worth a light, I have actually taken it on board with what you said. I have been conditioned by hearing it so many times it has finally sunk in, you were right, not worth bothering about and at the end of the day it was just a brilliant ploy used by Boris into fooling the EU into given us this great deal.

You must be hurting by being fooled by Boris, yes?

There's a simple solution : Scottish fishing vessels can sell their catch directly in Denmark.

As discontent grows ministers are also being warned that Scottish fishing vessels will begin heading in larger numbers to Denmark to land their catches from this week as a result of the bureaucracy created by the Brexit deal.

“It’s not just something you do at the drop of a hat, it’s a couple of days round trip,” said Elspeth Macdonald, chief executive of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation. “But it does at least give the vessels a decent chance of getting a decent price. Talking to some of the folks in our association, they suggest there would be an increased number of vessels that would probably do that next week.

Well "I have read so many Brexiteers post about fishing being soo important" that I'm  following what is happening now and checking whether Brexiteers are true to their word. 

 

Any objection?

The Scottish Creel Fishermen's Federation are getting a bit tetchy on social media. I think they are getting a lot of "you made your bed so lie in it" type comments. 

 

Their response is fair, I think:

 

"One more time: not all fishermen voted for brexit - and even those that did were spun a pile of lies and didn't vote for this mess."
