  1. “Fishermen” being large corporate boats with foreign crews.

    Cry me a river.

  2. I think people fail to grasp how important it is that we are involved in the Russo/Ukraine war. I don’t want British soldiers to die in Ukraine, I don’t want to give up fishing rights.

    But the idea that we can just ignore what’s going on and Russia will leave us alone for it is rubbish.

  3. Access to hundreds of millions in defence spending on one side supporting tens of thousands of high skilled, high payed people or some tens of millions of fishing contracts on the other supporting a few thousand fisher men there’s no comparison.

  4. Crazy how the UK has to compromise on fishing rights to carry on defending Europe as they always have. GG France

  6. So 0,3% and declining part of the economy is actually not significant. Who would have guessed.

  7. I’m genuinely disgusted that France would hold the safety of eastern Europe to ransom over fishing rights, and even more so that it seems to have worked.

  8. The fishermen that so badly wanted those rights at the expense of the UK leaving the EU and the UK markets getting fucked over massively, can literally fuck themselves.

    I voted remain, and I will always stand with EU and Ukraine .

    Fuck Brexit. Our mini maga episode. And fuck reform and Farage too.

    To clarify my stance : I wouldn’t mind negotiating for better rights for fisherman, but certain sectors and people in the UK are so narrow minded. The income from fisheries in the UK was nowhere near to the amount that got wiped out from our financial sector, not to mention the implications Brexit had in losing science and technology access and projects, trade deals, freedom of movement and strengthening ruzzia. So for that reason, I no longer care about their rights.

  9. Fishermen voted for Brexit “sovereignty”, meaning losing sway within the EU. This is the result of what they voted for.

  10. This is about time.

    The French farmers are also overprotected.
