Falkland Islands government representative to the United Kingdom and Europe Richard Hyslop, who said: “When it comes to Brexit, as things stand, there are no obvious benefits to the Falkland Islands. There are however a number of challenges.”
Mr Hyslop said the EU is the main market for the Falkland Islands’ fishery exports, with exports accounting for “more than 50% of our GDP”, and “was an important market for meat exports”.
However since the end of the transition period in January 2021 the Falkland Islands’ exports to the EU have been subject to tariffs, he added, with an average of 42% for meat and between 6% and 18% for fisheries exports.
Brexit, the turd that stretches 8,000 miles.
Fk everything about the fishing industry. I hope it all completely collapses.
Brexit voters barely thought past their own nose, let alone about the Falklands. Even Northern Ireland did not register with them.
To quote comedian Ronny Chieng “I’m very pro-Brexit,” he says “Just hear me out here, alright? I love Brexit. Because I hate the United Kingdom and I hope Brexit destroys that country.”
The Overseas Territories must really get a hard-on for all this British sovereignty.
