Has there been any change in the domestic consumption of fish for instance?
It’s always been criminal to me that so much good fish is shipped abroad to countries that appreciate it more, and we just have endless cod and haddock.
Damn EU, punishing us for daring to assert our freedom by maintaining import and export regulations in line with every other third country.
It’s a conspiracy, I tell you!

Farage’s voting record on fishing ‘makes mockery’ of new election poster
Publication date: 9th April 2015
UKIP’s new election poster unveiled in Grimsby today highlights the plight of fishing businesses that have been ‘gutted due to the EU’. Greenpeace has responded that UKIP’s voting record in the European Parliament and Nigel Farage’s appalling attendance on the Fisheries Committee makes a mockery of UKIP’s claim to be standing up for fishermen.
Over the three years that Nigel Farage was a member of the European Parliament Fisheries Committee, he attended one out of 42 meetings. Greenpeace research released today shows that during the three major votes to fix the flaws of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), Nigel Farage was in the building but failed to vote in favour of improving the legislation.
Another day another fact based sign that Brexit has been terrible for our country. Yet you’ll still get brexiteers in here trying to defend it with the most desperate straw clutching. They made an error of judgement seven years ago and they’d rather see the country fall than admit it.
Brexit apart we import too much food in UK. One driver of inflation. Trouble is our palates are geared to junk/processed food more than Europeans.
“BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WORKING AT HEIGHT REGULATIONS HEY?? HEYYYY!?”
I know this sub has a Brexit hard-on but surely this is great news for fish stocks. Been overfished for decades, if nobody’s buying they should be fishing less and the fish might even start recovering.
Makes no sense then as to why it’s so expensive in domestic supermarkets. If producers want to sell it maybe they should you know, try and sell it
Well, who wants the paperwork? So much for the idea that they need us more than them!
Wow if they lowered the cost to us Brits then we could all eat more meat which will sell more..
