No, also for the next 20 years it shall be Brits who people make snarky jokes about in Foreign climes. Not you guys. Another benefit for you from Wrexit.
This man is wrong, the EU does not have control of the UK fishing industry. UK wanted to be a third country instead of being a full member. This is what a third country gets....
Yes. I understand what he means, but this kind of statements will be used to justify doubling down on anti EU rhetoric. It's not the EU's fault, they are just looking out for their own. Of which the UK fishermen are not anymore. And willingly so.
The uk were the main drivers of the no shellfish from third country policies. Guess who was on the fisheries committee at the eu parliament? Yep. Farage. Attended one meeting. There are consequences to voting. They were trussed up and sold down the river. They were warned but knew better...
That’s not quite right. EU trawlers can fish right up to our 6 mile limit but British trawlers cannot fish within the EU’s 12 mile limit. Johnson agreed this. Don’t vote for the Numpty Party. Don’t read the s**t press.
@@stephensmith799 It will not take too long and EU Shellfisheries will fish right at the coast and land their catch in the EU as the UK shellfisheries sold their rights to fish or getting some kind of compensation from the EU boats
Fishermen help to get the whole anti EU narrative out accros the country.. Now they have what they voted for.. What do they think of farage now... There tory friends don't give a toss..
Thank you, and I can't say this enough: Thank you so much for serving as an example. All the anti-EU movements in Italy have basically disappeared. We much appreciate your sacrifice.
Same here in Austria. Our right wing populists didn’t mention an Exit in years now, even before brexit became this sh**show. And 5y ago that mad idea was quite popular here. Thanks to the crazy 52% of UK voters that in the end made the EU stronger.
The "why have they voted Brexit" is the big question people should be asking themselves. People can not justify it because politicians misleaded them. They voted Brexit because they wanted so. Are childrens voting now? Will I follow the first Hamelin flute player that bangs on my door? Why!? Everyone should be thinking at this issue. Otherwise they have learned nothing from it. For instance they must learn that you should not trust the snake grease seller. Never!
@@sf6bhkvm Yeah a lot of people point the finger at "idiots who voted to leave" but ignore the fact that they were obviously lied to. Politicians, lobbyists, campaigns lied to them but no one seems bothered to hold them to account.
Now I understand what Jacob Rees-Mogg meant when he said British fish are 'happier' because of brexit. EU does not buy UK fish = No need to catch fish = Happier fish.
I was living in Cornwall when all this started I told people what would happen without the EU, I was met with derision and anger even from my MP Sheryl Murray who told me I was the only remainer in Cornwall.

All of us are are affected, our children' future and the future prosperity of this country have been sacrificed for what?, So a few wealthy grifters can avoid some tax and make few extra million gaming the pound? There are no excuses that can justify voting for Brexit, they voted for lies and blatantly obvious ones at that. these people should wear their shame. They owe us an apology.
@Tracchofyre Nah ... humanity has a short memory. Otherwise, after so many repeated experiences we would have already learned to behave better. What counts is immediate pleasure and no responsibility to think for yourself ... or else one has to be responsible for his own actions.
Your right we pleaded them and begged them and they insulted us and called us remoaners and said that there will be more jobs and now they are all coming to ireland
I find it difficult to sympathise. If you voted for brexit, you are merely getting what you voted for. If you failed to do your home work, you are merely getting what you voted for. The rules for a 3rd country importing to the EU were made in 2006. Any fisherman who voted for brexit chose this outcome. They chose to ignore all the available facts. They have caused unbelievable hardship to the millions who didn't vote for the obvious insanity that is brexit.
In the description it says this man voted remain, however I take your point if you are referencing the wider industry. It's a shame his foresight wasn't shared by others in the fishing industry.
I understand Linda. This was my first thought. But we need to reach out and educate these people the benefits of single market access and especially EU membership. Not in a patronising way but in a way where they can see the benefits. At the moment they still blame the EU. The real culprit is Brexit itself.
JRM in Dublin will be in Dublin carving his chums hedges into huge $ signs with the use of power tools. Stuff all you chumps that voted for this foolishness.
Well its this kind of "I hate the rich! They're to blame for everything! Lets screw them over with Brexit" thinking drove people to Brexit in the first place. If you were paying attention, the Finance industry (yes, fund managers included) were dead set against Brexit - in fact, they were probably among the most ardent Remainers, becuase there are a bunch of EU cities waiting to take London's position as the primary financial centre for Europe. There are huge chunks of their business which they literally cannot do now that the UK has left. The difference is, the Fund Managers were actually intelligent enough to realise it.
i made some good money out of brexit. you could tell a mile off this is a stitch up from the start. since when do the government say "the people have spoken - we must abide by their wishes" ever counted before? war in iraq? selling off the nhs? removing the right to silence? lack of affordable / social housing? etc etc etc... the win was guaranteed. the numbers pulled out of a hat. it was clear from the start it was a vehicle for politicians to hide behiend instead of an insane policy that would have ended anyones political career.
As comedian Stewart Lee said, ‘voting for Brexit was like complaining about your motel room by taking a shit in the bed but then realising you now have to spend a night in a shitted bed’
@@Malky24 So why do they still exist today? Anyway, it doesn't matter, Lee's joke was anchored in the perceived nastiness of UKIP based on his perception of their hatred of foreigners. Now I know a lot of remainers can't get their heads around the idea that the question of whether the UK should be part of ever-federal trading bloc or not is not in any way synonymous with a love or disdain of foreign culture and people; but the fact remains that the joke was not connected to Brexit and its possible effect on UK trade as the OP implies.

What I find remarkable is that the fisherman was expecting all of Europe to practically be begging England for their fish. Asking England to name their price, making the fishermen rich
@@DaleHusband And the tough situation imposed by the EU weren't only applied to British fishermen but to everyone as all waters surrounding Europe are heavily overfished. These quotas weren't established for shits and giggles but for allowing populations to recover.
I find it remarkable people think everything was going to run smoothly. Remainers moaned so much and stalled constantly, we ended with fucking Boris Johnson. So now their will be significant teething problems.
@@scottsummersby7068 LOL, these aren't teething problems, these are the non-tariff barriers that apply to all third countries. The option to remain in the customs union and single market was there but the brexiteers wouldn't have that, so now the UK ended up with a third country status and a border in the Irish Sea and a slow return to the early 1970s.
He makes no sense. He said during the wars the fishing continued. It’s not continuing now, so how can he liken it to a war situation? If this is the analysis he brought to his Brexit preparation, no wonder he’s in trouble.
@@hannahmurray3782 His point was that even during the biggest conflicts that had a large scale impact on life in Britain at the time, fishing continued. Therefore, the fact that the 2 biggest conflicts didn't even stop the fishing but Brexit has, has lead to a "wartime" feeling that Cornwall never had to experience during the actual wars.
Don’t blame the EU. The rules were there for YOUR protection. But you wanted to leave and be a third country. You were told but you didn’t listen. Bad call
@@digantdalal sour grapes from the bully boys of the EU. Let's see what happens when markets start returning after Covid and their fishing rights in UK waters subside shall we?
@@ricbrook7059 No the product didn't change, Uk status as requested by UK changed for 3rd country. Those regulations are from 2008 It's been said many times times before that it'll look like that.
Britain thrived as part of Europe for a record 25 years of unprecedented growth. Cheap labour flowing in and maintaining wage inflation on check and brexit made absolutely no sense. Its tragic and now we have no freedom on movement and is a complete disaster.
The problem was those promises were impossible. From an outside standpoint it was quite clear. However, fishermen were sold heavily on sunny uplands. They were desperate enough to believe. Sadly when told the likely situation by Remain, they cursed at us and called us unpatriotic. It is difficult to be sympathetic given the abuse we suffered over the last 4-5 years. While there is some satisfaction in saying that we told you so, there is still sympathy when we see the results. Sorry, there is not more to say. Brexit believers don't be angry at us. We were the ones that warned you. Be angry at those who sold you something that could never be.
As someone from outside the UK I'm laughing sooo much, you guys were told this will happen but you choose to believe in lies. I'm sorry for the people in the UK who have a functional brain.
As someone from inside the UK, this biased channel has about as much as a clue about Brexit as the so-called 48% has. Being from someone inside the UK and someone not from Germany. Who are still in the EU and are one of the countries who ALWAYS get something out of the EU. Your opinion means about as much as mine does to you. I'm laughing so much that you think that your EU is going to last. You're obviously ignoring all of the signs of a sinking ship. Strange how a channel can only show the agenda pushing story lines that makes it's very existence possible, what a sham. The funniest thing is, you lot seem to think that this one-sided biased channel is reporting anything other than what it wants you to see for it's own agenda.
@@panc8ke324 you may be right but at first the sinking ship arguments aplys for the uk to and also that doesnt make the brexit better for your countrie - the point is: we need each other and when you dont realize that you will get a even bigger problem
@@panc8ke324 So you assume I only watch this channel to inform myself? If you think so you are totally wrong. I've watched more than enough even from channels which clearly think brexit was a splendid idea. Let's look at some of the arguments shall we? Brexit should mean you can do your own trade deals and don't have to take what the EU negotiates. (Britains were involved in those). Fair point, you actually can do that now and your country is doing it. But the problem here is that the market you are offering is far smaller than when you could negotiate as the EU therefore you get worse trade deals than the ones you had before. For example with Canada, Japan and Australia. Covid vaccinations happening faster and you will come out of the pandemic better of than every EU country. You guys had a better start for sure. But the EU overtook GB in vaccination percentages now, EU was slower because there was more to handle with seperate countries but the diversity of vaccines now helps EU and the lack of them hinders GB. Thats not the only reason I just wanted to give an example, there is of course more to it. Not to mention GB has the worst death numbers in all of Europe. The take back control argument. You guys are now depending on the EU more than ever before, because you are now a third country and have to deal with all the requirements, which for the most part were coming from your country back when they were made. The EU will never change their rules in favor of you and now you can't do anything about it because you left. In which world can the smaller market make the rules for the greater market? Of course EU will dictate how it is done. We don't depend on your exports or your imports of our goods, sure it hurts the EU that our exports to you are suffering, but that goes both directions and it hits you more by a significant margin. So you think EU will go down. Can you explain to me why you think the EU is a sinking ship? And just because you are from GB and I'm not doesn't say anything about our level of understanding the problem. Sure you have it easier to get to the infos, but that doesn't mean I can get them too.
@@jesuszockt3531 WOW! Inferiority complex much? Yeah, the EU is better at making trade deals than us because you have more to offer? That would make sense if the EU had actually managed to make a trade deal with....say......Australia for example. Sorry your argument for that holds no water. The EU is a sinking ship because they have shown their true colours while dealing with Brexit. They didn't want it to happen so they have acted like the biggest bunch of tossers that they are. If I have to explain the underhanded dirty tricks that the EU are trying to pull just to PUNISH us because we had the audacity to leave the almighty EU then you are not only ignoring the truth you're also ignoring facts. The EU have shown themselves to be no better than dogs. The rest of the EU can now see what they are like. That is why the EU will fail. None of you Europeans like being told what to do, so don't worry, one day you will see the EU for what it is. A dictatorship filled with greedy people only out for themselves.
I live on the coast, a fishing town. Two months ago the trawlers were all flying Union Flags ( Brexit being the possible end of the Union at that), a colourful sight., and now it's like a morgue and last week just one flag of St George left. A tragedy yes, but whenever I said to the local leavers, the majority here, " but what's the Brexit plan?" the reply was always "We don't need a plan, No Deal!" My sympathies aren't with these people it's the next generations I fear for. All this "We were told this baloney" doesn't cut ice because who were these people telling us this? Farage (provided his sons with German passports pretty quick), Boris, Rees Mogg, tax exiles, newspaper owners who live in France? What is it about these Brexit campaigners that managed to instil so much confidence? I seriously don't get it.
The fishermen voted for this!!!! They also dragged us into the mess with them, so forgive me if I find it hard not to say . . . "WE TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN"!!!
_They had four years to sort things out_ No. The vote was to *Leave* the EU. What part of *Leave* did these people not understand? *Leave* means *Leave* 4 years or 10...would make no difference. You leave the club, you don't get to be a member of the club anymore.
I reserve all my Brexit sympathy for people who voted remain, but nonetheless had their livelehood destroyed by their careless neighbors. The guys in this video deserved better countrymen.
The PM; Cameron advised against Brexit, the ex PM Brown advised against Brexit, the ex PM Blair advised against Brexit. the ex PM Major advised against Brexit, the queen was against Brexit, 75% of the than sitting MP's were against Brexit, the BoE advised against Brexit, the world of academia advised against Brexit, the US president came to the UK to advised against Brexit, ... , but,... 52% of the Brits preferred to believe the Daily Express, Nigel Farage and Boris the Buffoon.

@@mogznwaz | You're the victim of meaningless soundbites. The EU is not a matter of putting more power in fewer hands, nor is taking back control to the level of the individual by definition a good thing.

And yes it IS putting more and more power into fewer and fewer hands when the 27 member states abdicate responsibility to the bureaucrats in Brussels to decide everything for them.

@@mogznwaz It's actually putting power into the hands of *more* people, when specific aspects of regulation of societies are combined and delegated to bodies dedicated for those specific aspects. In case of the EU, the powers to regulate the market which used to be in the hands of the governments of individual nation states are now shared with a group of nations in an additional power bearing body. Brexit takes this power back into the fewer hands of the UK government, which already had a lot of power on education, healthcare, well fare, defense, foreign policies, taxation, criminal laws, pensions, infrastructure. For your information: 98% of all tax-money is spend by national governments. But don't believe me.... I am paid by Silicon Valley technocrats, by the Elders of Sion and the Bilderberg group. ... oh,.. and by Soros.
I warned the locals the same would happen to queenie fishing here but they argued that foreign boats would be banned from our waters but they believed somehow that they could still export to Europe with no issue. However much I said why on earth would Europe accept that deal no one in the world would accept less of a deal when they held all the cards.
I feel sympathy for the people in this video but the uk leaving the eu they became a third country. You cannot leave the EU and still expect to get all the benefits of EU membership
I totally agree! I have always been a strong EU supporter. Sadly, one of the 48% who are now suffering because of the brainwashed masses by the media in the UK.
I really struggle to have sympathy for these people. Yes, they've lost their business, but so have thouusands of other people who didn't ask for this to happen. Their decision has cost the livelihoods of everyone. The information and facts were there for them to go and find, but they chose to believe known liars instead. It's deeply sad. If anything, I'd like an apology.
They took pleasure from the idea that they were going to destroy the fishing industry of other countries. They don't deserve sympathy of any kind. There were a few exceptions, who saw reality and shouldn't be lumped in with all the other fools but the majority shouldn't get any sympathy.
Communist Virus... Communist SAGE advise Government to close down the country hence no business doing business. No business doing business does have a knock on affect... Nothing to do with Brexit.
All the facts were out there including the end of the shellfish industry. I truly feel sorry for those that voted remain. The Daily Mail reading masses got what they voted for. They believed all the lies and completely closed their minds to logical debate.
Solutions, 1, clean the waters to be Grade A, OR 2. Build a fish processing plant to clean process the fish so they can enter EU, OR 3. Rejoin the single Market customs union, you can still not be a member but you can sell your fish get it processed ion mainland. The problem is we chose to be a 3rd country just like every other 3rd country same rules.
It's not farage this isn't the Brexit anyone wanted Everyone voted to Leave with No Deal there was nothing about waiting 5years and making deals and them still not giving access to British waters It is the EU especially France and Germany but more so Boris and labour keep blocking and delaying it for half a decade I do not regret my vote but I wish we had PM we Balls, Boris is not that, Cameron is not that, May is definitely not that How would have I done it differently? Trade agreements set up with Japan. America. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc within weeks, left with no deal take back our fishing industry if they still try to take our fish seize their boats and fine the French Government especially for those dinghies they keep sending from Calais oh and we still could Trade with the EU without keeping them anything but probably will have to show you don't need them first those bureaucrats to agree, China, USA and UK are the top 3 biggest EU traders and guess what none of them are in the EU There is a long history of Britain before we joined the EU in the 80s and it wasn't even the EU than wasnr the same Globalist Bureaucrats wanting Global Control And their little Army It's the same Before and After Brexit, EU can take most of our fish and sell it back to us but we can't take any of their fish and if they let us a fraction compared to what they take from us Only thing changed is now instead of EU having 65% of their fish from British Waters it's now 45% of whatever well supposed to be and that 45% is still way too much when it should be 0%

First up - I am an Australian and I always thought it was madness for the UK to vote to leave the EU. But it was apparent to many of us on the other side of the world that a large motivation for many voting Leave was sadly racism - the fear of “Johnny Foreigner”, taking their jobs, not fitting in, changing the culture and other such palaver. What really drove home this stupidity to me was in 2018 while holidaying in Portugal we (me and partner) struck up a casual conversation with a just retired UK couple at breakfast. They seemed very nice, very proper, and came across as a bit posh, not short of a quid or two or a thousand, almost archetypal Tories in an old school “nice” sort of way. The conversation got around to Brexit and we thought “Oh no, get ready for a barrage of Britain Empire nostalgia”, but no, they lamented it was going to be a disaster for the UK. Their main point was that, what do people really expect the EU will do after a long and vocal campaign based on blatant and open racism deriding Europeans as “wops and dagoes” (their exact words) with an air of good old fashioned British superiority ?? Obviously after Brexit the Europeans are not going to do any favours for the UK and (their words again) extract revenge. Never forget that conversation.

A comment from Germany: As an admirerr of Great Britain I couldn’t believe the Brits believe all these Brexit lies from Johnson, Farage, Gove, Rees-Mogg & Co. I couldn’t believe the British press promoted all this. I couldn’t believe the Brits have vote for this. And still it’s the same: Despite record-high corona death tolls GB is celebrating itself (see press coverage). No word about all the suffering from Brexit in the whole country. Speechless. Hope the Johnson nightmare is quicker over than the Trump nightmare.
Johnson's nightmare is here to stay, there is no point in changing government, but continue with the same attitudes , because the damage is permanent. From here to the final rupture of the uk is a small step. The only solution, in my view, is humility and unity! Stop mistreating your neighbors. Recognize that you are in a delicate situation that cannot be solved with excuses or accusations and work for the common good. The next clash will be the financial sector. No one in their right mind allows their banking and financial system to remain on the side's competitor. It is a matter of time before European financial institutions are properly equipped. Overnight, new restrictions will appear to make it almost impossible for a non-European financial center to do business with European financial products. Brexiteers wanted exclusivity and to be above everyone ... the truth is that they are more and more alone.

Well, if the vaccine is used as a sign of national pride, let them do so. However, how will those feel who have lost loved ones, now getting to know how great the country is tackling Corona. And Farage who was against the lockdowns said: "More people die of flu and most Corona patients are over 80." And such a man is hailed by his followers.
Dear finishedarticle, no, as German I think it was good your country was not occupied. But there is a remarkable point in your argumentation, a historian from your country picked it up as well. We Germans have experienced that we have to change otherwise our defeats would have been senseless. The same can be said about Japan that rose from the ashes like a Phoenix.
@@oliverflanagan6438 Yes, but we all have to be responsible for our own decisions as others have to live with the consequences. People voted in the referendum and voted the Tories into power, who made it clear they were going to leave the EU beforehand.
@@oliverflanagan6438 Anyone who was too ignorant to see this coming and believed the leave campaign propaganda deserves exactly what they're getting. These stupid, jingoists happily voted for some vague nonsense from Johnson and his kleptocrats regarding brexit 'opportunities'. What about people like myself who have put everything into building an engineering business and now might be looking at closing down as we have been made uncompetitive in the European market? It was obvious to me as a business person what the result of leaving the EU would be. True the EU, like any institution is not perfect but as the man in the video says, business was thriving while we were members but died after we left. The only beneficiaries are people like Jacob Greed Smugg and his friend Crispin Odious. So, don't insult me by asking me to feel sorry for whining leave voters who are generally obnoxious and insisted on calling what has come to pass as project fear.
I kept on telling people if the British fishermen cut off of its main market by installing customs barriers, selecting different regulations just for fun would ruin them. It does now and it is not the TCA, it is leaving the single market, the customs union, selecting different regulations for very very obscure reasons killed fishing industry, automobile industry, aircraft industry, farming, hauliers,...and many more. Next is finance industry. What a success is Brexit! Will the UK hold together? Cameron, Farage, May, Johnson should be tried for high treason.
@@boxie001 Ah, I see. I thought by "you did not you understood the lies you been told at best" you were referring to this shellfish merchant, who probably was one of the rare people in his town who could see through the lies. Nevertheless he suffers with the stupid ones. A tragic situation ...
The rules that are in place for “third nations” were written with the input of Great Britain when it was part of the EU. Just amazed that the local fishermen did not realize this when voting to become a third nation and have those rules bite them.
Correct if I'm wrong but Cornwall voted overwhelmingly to leave, a vote driven by the fishermen themselves. Just like they couldn't foresee that they were overfishing during the 80's, they couldn't foresee that cutting the export links to their biggest market would crash their industry. Unbelievable stupidity
Tell you what, I'll show these people the same compassion that they showed for French fishermen when they voted to "take back" all the fishing rights (that they had actually sold). None whatsoever.
My take on this is that fish workers had no idea of how their own industry functioned and the rules that they worked under for at least 15 years and that they also didn't care about how their vote would affect the entertainment/conference industry, the auto industry, Erasmus, the science and medical industries as long as they were OK. They didn't care about anyone else other than themselves. Luckily the seafood sector can collapse and have no impact on the UK GDP. This is probably why the Govt used them as a focus point because they knew that when it came down to it, the fishing industry was disposable.
Yep, you'd be surprised how many business owners don't really know how their business work, some of them got lucky, some inherited or bought the business and the clients. They are fish merchants, not precisely high tech stuff, catch the fish, put it in an ice box, load it into a lorry and drive to France. I bet they don't even speak French and I bet it was the French clients who actually came to them looking to source the fish. They just rode the wave of business within the single market. There was no paperwork and no admin barriers, just sit back and count the money. All gone. Welcome to the brexit sir
We joined the common market, which turned into the EU. As part of that deal Britain's fishing industry was decimated. Now we've left the EU and what's left of Britain's fishing industry is decimated again. Thank you Conservative party.
@@davesy6969 after joining the EEC the UK fishing industry mostly declined due to selling of its quotas for UK waters and relying on the CFP to allow them to net a decent haul outside of UK waters. As for the EEC slowly becoming the EU, that was clear when the UK joined, Heath even mentioned that in his address to the nation after joining, and every step along the way was ratified by the UK parliament.
Out of the EU the uk is a 3rd country. The uk helped to write the rules on 3rd countries. The rules concerning fishing were thrashed out in the EU Fishing Committee and the uk MEP looking after uk interests was N Farage MEP. Not forgetting the uk could have vetoed the rules but chose not to do so.
And where is the reptile Farage now? He's earning a fortune for the right wing GB News. I'm surprised fishermen aren't looking to cut the lying turds balls off and using them for bait... oh sorry, he hasn't any.
Marvellous news!!! Europe loves Ireland, and although not part of continental Europe, they were smart enough to adopt the Euro and the single market!

It is very very clean here To be honest I like it here very much and I think you are certainly mistaken in your view point as I have not seen the misery that exists in impoverished areas of Manchester Liverpool and Birmingham yet but that does not say they exist in Dublin or Limerick where I live, The have a fantastic motorway system much better than N.I and the minimum wage in the republic is a lot more than ours at 10.20 per hour and unemployment is at about 6%, Housing is really expensive. There are a lot of European migrants here including many English in West Cork, where I visited some ex pats last week. Cork is a boom town Apple has its European headquarters here and employs thousands of people. Hope this helps. Irelands national debt stands at 14 billion.. Ours is about 2 trillion and Irelands growth rate is 3.5% and as of a week ago ours stood at -9.9% this pandemic driven but Brexit figures will be something to behold over the next year i should think .
@@brenglover72 Well the guy in this video kind of has every right to complain - he voted to remain because he thought problems like this would occur. Hard not to feel bad for him, he didn't ask for this at all.
Every time someone with a camera talks to a fisherman they should be saying "We will never vote Tory again unless you fix this right now!" You have to have some stomach. Do a protest. Join with other workers. Don't just make sad faces, vote the bastards out.
This can not be fixed in any way. EU law is in place since 2006. If this gets lifted the UK shellfishers will feel the impact of the reason why this ban was set up in the first place; To protect the consumers and the fishing industry. When lifting the ban for the UK all ban have to be lifted for all countries and the EU will be overflooded with cheap shellfish from Africa and india putting the shell fishers in the EU and in the UK out of business. That is the reason the ban will never be lifted and was put on in the first place.

They literally wanted to deprive them of their livelihood, right? While I agree it's a shame that these people were misled, they are getting what they deserved for whishing so much ill on their colleagues.

Classic British arrogance. We are now in a similar boat (cough) to Libya, but we assumed that we 'd get special treatment in exporting to the EU because we're old pals. I laughed at the first couple of stories like this, but now it's just heartbreaking Also, I really want to know that very well-spoken Fisherman's story. He seems like a curious chap
The thing is, the UK was actually offered special treatment from the EU for being old pals, and they refused it. Several times they were offered total free trade, and then at last minute they were offered just free trade on fish if they wanted it, but they said no, and the fishermen screamed for them to say no. Less sharing waters with EU with less fish sold to the EU, or more sharing waters with the EU with more fish bought by the EU. This was spelled out to them right before christmas.
So he was promised more sale at home and new exotic markets abroad in exchange for known very good market he already had! What stoped him from selling more at home in the first place and those exotic foreign markets, what stoped him from selling to them while in the EU? He didn’t see the scam he was sold, obviously not! Expensive mistake I guess!
It's heartbreaking but this was all explained before the vote, we knew this would happen! The strangest thing is people have never trust politicians for anything & yet they seemed to think they could be trusted for Brexit
"The UE has now more power over UK fishing industry than before Brexit" - No, it hasn't. You just thought that once out of Brexit you would go back to be the old Empire and do whatever you want, wherever you want, and it doesn't work like that because there are treaties and agreements in place between markets and you decided to jump out of one of the biggest ones. That emptiness that you are feeling is not because the UE has more power over you than before, it's because you are now an orphan with no one to take care of you as the UK government and corporate power never really cared about the fishing industry. How on earth would a super elitist and classist country care about fishermen?
@@ChrisRedfield-- Yes, UE! You are out so you are not entitled to the English designation as there is no European Union anymore.😂It's Union Européenne, Unione Europea, União Europeia, etc.

The shellfish issue was 100% caused by the EU. Fishing quotas have gone from 8% to 20% an will go up to 100% over the next 4 years... Yes we had a huge fishing industry in the 70s, all destroyed when we were dragged into the EU. Food banks!?!? whats that got to do with Brexit????

The funny thing if you could call it that is that the rules in the EU were formulated when the UK was on the committee. Oh and the UK rep on that committee.... Farage
The uk wanted to become a third country. The uk became a third country. The uk is being treated as a third country. The brexitears voted for this, now deal with it. Brexit means brexit, welcome to the brexit sir. ( i do feel sorry for the remainers)
It’s what the 52% were told they wanted, and got BJ the top job. We don’t need Europe when we can sell fish to Hong Kong, and Canada.... and maybe Mexico. What could possibly go wrong.
Also be reminded. The EU gave the UK gov the opportunity to defer the Brexit until everything is sorted out. BJ didn‘t want to have that,because he wanted Brexit to be his accomplishment
They certainly will, because come election time, our heavily right wing media will gas light them all the way to the polls. Whether it’s immigration or some other scare tactic, they will leverage ‘an issue of the day’ to successfully shape public opinion, as they always do.
It is an anomaly for many of us why people followed the Johnson Brexit lie. Their strongest strap-line was no one knows what will happen. Would anyone run a business on that analysis? Brexit for the UK is wrapped up in a nasty jingliest approach to right wing nationalism. The Murdoch press, seething from being prevented by the EU from having a monopoly were in their element and waxed lyrical in their headlines which is all Brexit voters chose to read. When the UK joined the then common market we had the second worst economy in Europe. We are on our way to competing for that spot again. Brexit is lunacy and those who voted for it were totally deluded and many continue to be.
Sadly. I sympathise with him but not with the people who voted leave. A lot of those people especially the English are still in denial about Brexit. They also claim that the EU is being too protectionist and wants to destroy the UK.
I don't believe any second someone from this fishing industry now pretending voted remain. Don't be fool, they all voted leave. I have sympathy whatsoever. UK fishing industry needs closure altogether.
There’s more misery to come.The London based financial sector will not receive the equivalence status. The underlying idea of Brexit for many Eton-Tories was that they wanted to get rid of the EU rules. Brexit gives the EU the best opportunity to regulate the financial services without Eton-tories blocking them. Brexitters always blamed the EU for the national Tory implemented failures, now they can only blame themselves for the misery.

Well its this kind of "I hate the rich! They're to blame for everything! Lets screw them over with Brexit" thinking drove people to Brexit in the first place.
If you were paying attention, the Finance industry (yes, fund managers included) were dead set against Brexit - in fact, they were probably among the most ardent Remainers, becuase there are a bunch of EU cities waiting to take London's position as the primary financial centre for Europe.
There are huge chunks of their business which they literally cannot do now that the UK has left. The difference is, the Fund Managers were actually intelligent enough to realise it.

I feel no sadness for our fishing industry, their industry voted overwhelming for Brexit. I don't care that they are stupid enough to believe the crap Boris was saying.
He voted remain. Read the description
@@benwhite7630 'their industry'... read the comment.
I voted to Leave, I didn't vote for that fool Boris
I didn't vote for a deal, I voted No Deal and I expected them to get it done by the end of 2015..
Tories were never my man of choice. Nigel Farage the actually man who gave us Brexit
Gave up on the Tories since David Cameron but yet despite after Cameron. People voted the even worse May, than people voted Boris 🤦🏻♂️
Labour would be worse but it's like choosing Very Bad between The Worse, Lesser of Two Evils is how "democracy" works with these Two Party Systems with have
I don't even come close to the ideology of the fool Boris, he's not a real conservative he's more a USA version of a Democrat and I'm a Libertarian which need to get power since I feel most people lean that way but it doesn't show in the votes because everyone thinks I'll vote for this guy because a "third" party will never win and I don't want the other guy winning so I'll vote for this guy even though I dislike him or her
It's happened in many elections don't know the percentage but example Joe Biden election many hate him and voted him not because policy but because they wanted him over Trump or a "Black Female" VP
And Many People Voted Boris not because they like the man but because they didn't want Corbyn to get a chance
I wish people start voting other parties, two party had only ever had power and it will be that way as long people keep thinking their vote won't matter
show a bit of empathy. everybody can do a mistake. their lives are at stake.
@@olivierlaurent6921 Of course people’s life are at stake! They are always at stake in politics. If it’s something unimportant like the hair color of the Queen, they don’t hold a national referendum. Everyone was asked, because everyone is affected. You were warned, multiple times.
What I find remarkable is that the fisherman was expecting all of Europe to practically be begging England for their fish. Asking England to name their price, making the fishermen rich
Right, like the remaining members of the EU didn't have their own fishermen! LOL!!!!
@@DaleHusband And the tough situation imposed by the EU weren't only applied to British fishermen but to everyone as all waters surrounding Europe are heavily overfished. These quotas weren't established for shits and giggles but for allowing populations to recover.
I find it remarkable people think everything was going to run smoothly. Remainers moaned so much and stalled constantly, we ended with fucking Boris Johnson. So now their will be significant teething problems.
Utter madness filtered through the P.M.'s press office.
@@scottsummersby7068 LOL, these aren't teething problems, these are the non-tariff barriers that apply to all third countries. The option to remain in the customs union and single market was there but the brexiteers wouldn't have that, so now the UK ended up with a third country status and a border in the Irish Sea and a slow return to the early 1970s.
"It's like we're at war". He's still reading those tabloids by the sounds of it. No we're not at war, we chose this. Be careful what you wish for.
He makes no sense. He said during the wars the fishing continued. It’s not continuing now, so how can he liken it to a war situation? If this is the analysis he brought to his Brexit preparation, no wonder he’s in trouble.
It's not war but it is a stab in the back from fishermen and their fellow Leavers for the entire nation.
@@hannahmurray3782 His point was that even during the biggest conflicts that had a large scale impact on life in Britain at the time, fishing continued. Therefore, the fact that the 2 biggest conflicts didn't even stop the fishing but Brexit has, has lead to a "wartime" feeling that Cornwall never had to experience during the actual wars.

@@daydreamerz Why should anyone blindly trust what he said? Wow.
@@hkloss11 Yeah really stupid ones and for all the wrong reasons.
The problem was those promises were impossible. From an outside standpoint it was quite clear. However, fishermen were sold heavily on sunny uplands. They were desperate enough to believe. Sadly when told the likely situation by Remain, they cursed at us and called us unpatriotic. It is difficult to be sympathetic given the abuse we suffered over the last 4-5 years.
While there is some satisfaction in saying that we told you so, there is still sympathy when we see the results. Sorry, there is not more to say. Brexit believers don't be angry at us. We were the ones that warned you. Be angry at those who sold you something that could never be.
What good is a sunny upland to a fisherman though?
How about no desert for a week? That might teach em...?
Start with that slimy creep Farage !
They were warned for 4 years. I dont know why they didnt at least do some kind of preparation. Even just as a continguency plan.
You are a better man than I - cos I have zero sympathies.
As someone from outside the UK I'm laughing sooo much, you guys were told this will happen but you choose to believe in lies. I'm sorry for the people in the UK who have a functional brain.
As someone from inside the UK, this biased channel has about as much as a clue about Brexit as the so-called 48% has. Being from someone inside the UK and someone not from Germany. Who are still in the EU and are one of the countries who ALWAYS get something out of the EU. Your opinion means about as much as mine does to you. I'm laughing so much that you think that your EU is going to last. You're obviously ignoring all of the signs of a sinking ship. Strange how a channel can only show the agenda pushing story lines that makes it's very existence possible, what a sham. The funniest thing is, you lot seem to think that this one-sided biased channel is reporting anything other than what it wants you to see for it's own agenda.
@@panc8ke324 you may be right but at first the sinking ship arguments aplys for the uk to and also that doesnt make the brexit better for your countrie - the point is: we need each other and when you dont realize that you will get a even bigger problem
@@panc8ke324 who’s you lot? You’re here commenting. A stupid one too. ‘You lot’ are in complete denial. You won get over it.
@@panc8ke324 So you assume I only watch this channel to inform myself? If you think so you are totally wrong.
I've watched more than enough even from channels which clearly think brexit was a splendid idea.
Let's look at some of the arguments shall we?
Brexit should mean you can do your own trade deals and don't have to take what the EU negotiates. (Britains were involved in those).
Fair point, you actually can do that now and your country is doing it.
But the problem here is that the market you are offering is far smaller than when you could negotiate as the EU therefore you get worse trade deals than the ones you had before. For example with Canada, Japan and Australia.
Covid vaccinations happening faster and you will come out of the pandemic better of than every EU country.
You guys had a better start for sure. But the EU overtook GB in vaccination percentages now, EU was slower because there was more to handle with seperate countries but the diversity of vaccines now helps EU and the lack of them hinders GB.
Thats not the only reason I just wanted to give an example, there is of course more to it.
Not to mention GB has the worst death numbers in all of Europe.
The take back control argument.
You guys are now depending on the EU more than ever before, because you are now a third country and have to deal with all the requirements, which for the most part were coming from your country back when they were made.
The EU will never change their rules in favor of you and now you can't do anything about it because you left.
In which world can the smaller market make the rules for the greater market? Of course EU will dictate how it is done.
We don't depend on your exports or your imports of our goods, sure it hurts the EU that our exports to you are suffering, but that goes both directions and it hits you more by a significant margin.
So you think EU will go down. Can you explain to me why you think the EU is a sinking ship?
And just because you are from GB and I'm not doesn't say anything about our level of understanding the problem. Sure you have it easier to get to the infos, but that doesn't mean I can get them too.
@@jesuszockt3531 WOW! Inferiority complex much? Yeah, the EU is better at making trade deals than us because you have more to offer? That would make sense if the EU had actually managed to make a trade deal with....say......Australia for example. Sorry your argument for that holds no water. The EU is a sinking ship because they have shown their true colours while dealing with Brexit. They didn't want it to happen so they have acted like the biggest bunch of tossers that they are. If I have to explain the underhanded dirty tricks that the EU are trying to pull just to PUNISH us because we had the audacity to leave the almighty EU then you are not only ignoring the truth you're also ignoring facts. The EU have shown themselves to be no better than dogs. The rest of the EU can now see what they are like. That is why the EU will fail. None of you Europeans like being told what to do, so don't worry, one day you will see the EU for what it is. A dictatorship filled with greedy people only out for themselves.
I live on the coast, a fishing town. Two months ago the trawlers were all flying Union Flags ( Brexit being the possible end of the Union at that), a colourful sight., and now it's like a morgue and last week just one flag of St George left. A tragedy yes, but whenever I said to the local leavers, the majority here, " but what's the Brexit plan?" the reply was always "We don't need a plan, No Deal!"
My sympathies aren't with these people it's the next generations I fear for. All this "We were told this baloney" doesn't cut ice because who were these people telling us this? Farage (provided his sons with German passports pretty quick), Boris, Rees Mogg, tax exiles, newspaper owners who live in France? What is it about these Brexit campaigners that managed to instil so much confidence? I seriously don't get it.

@@mogznwaz | You're the victim of meaningless soundbites.
The EU is not a matter of putting more power in fewer hands, nor is taking back control to the level of the individual by definition a good thing. The level on which decisions should be taken (by those in power and checked by others) should be based on the principle of subsidiarity.
@@Michiel_de_Jong Who said anarchy was the alternative? And yes it IS putting more and more power into fewer and fewer hands when the 27 member states abdicate responsibility to the bureaucrats in Brussels to decide everything for them. I feel the same way about the monopolistic global control over the digital landscape by an ever decreasing number of Silicon Valley technocrats.
@@mogznwaz It's actually putting power into the hands of *more* people, when specific aspects of regulation of societies are combined and delegated to bodies dedicated for those specific aspects.
In case of the EU, the powers to regulate the market which used to be in the hands of the governments of individual nation states are now shared with a group of nations in an additional power bearing body. Brexit takes this power back into the fewer hands of the UK government, which already had a lot of power on education, healthcare, well fare, defense, foreign policies, taxation, criminal laws, pensions, infrastructure. For your information: 98% of all tax-money is spend by national governments.
But don't believe me.... I am paid by Silicon Valley technocrats, by the Elders of Sion and the Bilderberg group. ... oh,.. and by Soros.
I warned the locals the same would happen to queenie fishing here but they argued that foreign boats would be banned from our waters but they believed somehow that they could still export to Europe with no issue. However much I said why on earth would Europe accept that deal no one in the world would accept less of a deal when they held all the cards.
I feel sympathy for the people in this video but the uk leaving the eu they became a third country. You cannot leave the EU and still expect to get all the benefits of EU membership
I totally agree! I have always been a strong EU supporter. Sadly, one of the 48% who are now suffering because of the brainwashed masses by the media in the UK.
I really struggle to have sympathy for these people. Yes, they've lost their business, but so have thouusands of other people who didn't ask for this to happen. Their decision has cost the livelihoods of everyone.
The information and facts were there for them to go and find, but they chose to believe known liars instead. It's deeply sad. If anything, I'd like an apology.
They took pleasure from the idea that they were going to destroy the fishing industry of other countries. They don't deserve sympathy of any kind. There were a few exceptions, who saw reality and shouldn't be lumped in with all the other fools but the majority shouldn't get any sympathy.
No sympathy. Those idiots have screwed us over and screwed over future generations.

UK is now a third country. Don"t blame the EU, blame Farage
Solutions, 1, clean the waters to be Grade A, OR 2. Build a fish processing plant to clean process the fish so they can enter EU, OR 3. Rejoin the single Market customs union, you can still not be a member but you can sell your fish get it processed ion mainland. The problem is we chose to be a 3rd country just like every other 3rd country same rules.
It's not farage this isn't the Brexit anyone wanted
Everyone voted to Leave with No Deal there was nothing about waiting 5years and making deals and them still not giving access to British waters
It is the EU especially France and Germany but more so Boris and labour keep blocking and delaying it for half a decade
I do not regret my vote but I wish we had PM we Balls, Boris is not that, Cameron is not that, May is definitely not that
How would have I done it differently? Trade agreements set up with Japan. America. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc within weeks, left with no deal take back our fishing industry if they still try to take our fish seize their boats and fine the French Government especially for those dinghies they keep sending from Calais oh and we still could Trade with the EU without keeping them anything but probably will have to show you don't need them first those bureaucrats to agree, China, USA and UK are the top 3 biggest EU traders and guess what none of them are in the EU
There is a long history of Britain before we joined the EU in the 80s and it wasn't even the EU than wasnr the same Globalist Bureaucrats wanting Global Control And their little Army
It's the same Before and After Brexit, EU can take most of our fish and sell it back to us but we can't take any of their fish and if they let us a fraction compared to what they take from us
Only thing changed is now instead of EU having 65% of their fish from British Waters it's now 45% of whatever well supposed to be and that 45% is still way too much when it should be 0%

First up - I am an Australian and I always thought it was madness for the UK to vote to leave the EU. But it was apparent to many of us on the other side of the world that a large motivation for many voting Leave was sadly racism - the fear of “Johnny Foreigner”, taking their jobs, not fitting in, changing the culture and other such palaver.
What really drove home this stupidity to me was in 2018 while holidaying in Portugal we (me and partner) struck up a casual conversation with a just retired UK couple at breakfast. They seemed very nice, very proper, and came across as a bit posh, not short of a quid or two or a thousand, almost archetypal Tories in an old school “nice” sort of way. The conversation got around to Brexit and we thought “Oh no, get ready for a barrage of Britain Empire nostalgia”, but no, they lamented it was going to be a disaster for the UK. Their main point was that, what do people really expect the EU will do after a long and vocal campaign based on blatant and open racism deriding Europeans as “wops and dagoes” (their exact words) with an air of good old fashioned British superiority ?? Obviously after Brexit the Europeans are not going to do any favours for the UK and (their words again) extract revenge.
Never forget that conversation.

A comment from Germany: As an admirerr of Great Britain I couldn’t believe the Brits believe all these Brexit lies from Johnson, Farage, Gove, Rees-Mogg & Co. I couldn’t believe the British press promoted all this. I couldn’t believe the Brits have vote for this. And still it’s the same: Despite record-high corona death tolls GB is celebrating itself (see press coverage). No word about all the suffering from Brexit in the whole country. Speechless. Hope the Johnson nightmare is quicker over than the Trump nightmare.
Johnson's nightmare is here to stay, there is no point in changing government, but continue with the same attitudes , because the damage is permanent.
From here to the final rupture of the uk is a small step.
The only solution, in my view, is humility and unity!
Stop mistreating your neighbors.
Recognize that you are in a delicate situation that cannot be solved with excuses or accusations and work for the common good.
The next clash will be the financial sector.
No one in their right mind allows their banking and financial system to remain on the side's competitor.
It is a matter of time before European financial institutions are properly equipped.

The rules that are in place for “third nations” were written with the input of Great Britain when it was part of the EU. Just amazed that the local fishermen did not realize this when voting to become a third nation and have those rules bite them.
To protect their fishing interest at the time, how macabre.
Correct if I'm wrong but Cornwall voted overwhelmingly to leave, a vote driven by the fishermen themselves.
Just like they couldn't foresee that they were overfishing during the 80's, they couldn't foresee that cutting the export links to their biggest market would crash their industry.

Tell you what, I'll show these people the same compassion that they showed for French fishermen when they voted to "take back" all the fishing rights (that they had actually sold).
None whatsoever.
My take on this is that fish workers had no idea of how their own industry functioned and the rules that they worked under for at least 15 years and that they also didn't care about how their vote would affect the entertainment/conference industry, the auto industry, Erasmus, the science and medical industries as long as they were OK. They didn't care about anyone else other than themselves. Luckily the seafood sector can collapse and have no impact on the UK GDP. This is probably why the Govt used them as a focus point because they knew that when it came down to it, the fishing industry was disposable.
Spot on! The exporter in this report probably inherited his company, not smart enough to start up a business like this on his own.
Yep, you'd be surprised how many business owners don't really know how their business work, some of them got lucky, some inherited or bought the business and the clients.
They are fish merchants, not precisely high tech stuff, catch the fish, put it in an ice box, load it into a lorry and drive to France. I bet they don't even speak French and I bet it was the French clients who actually came to them looking to source the fish. They just rode the wave of business within the single market. There was no paperwork and no admin barriers, just sit back and count the money.
All gone. Welcome to the brexit sir
Well, everything was going really well for the fishing industry while we were in the EU. That's why we joined the EU in the 1st place.
We joined the common market, which turned into the EU. As part of that deal Britain's fishing industry was decimated. Now we've left the EU and what's left of Britain's fishing industry is decimated again. Thank you Conservative party.
@@davesy6969 after joining the EEC the UK fishing industry mostly declined due to selling of its quotas for UK waters and relying on the CFP to allow them to net a decent haul outside of UK waters. As for the EEC slowly becoming the EU, that was clear when the UK joined, Heath even mentioned that in his address to the nation after joining, and every step along the way was ratified by the UK parliament.
Wow.
What a surprise.
If only somebody had tried to warn them.
“We used to have a route to those markets..:” No shit Sherlock! 🤦🏽♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Out of the EU the uk is a 3rd country. The uk helped to write the rules on 3rd countries. The rules concerning fishing were thrashed out in the EU Fishing Committee and the uk MEP looking after uk interests was N Farage MEP. Not forgetting the uk could have vetoed the rules but chose not to do so.
And where is the reptile Farage now? He's earning a fortune for the right wing GB News. I'm surprised fishermen aren't looking to cut the lying turds balls off and using them for bait... oh sorry, he hasn't any.
Was in Castletownbere fishing port in West Cork Ireland yesterday have never seen it so busy , its crazy down there.
Marvellous news!!! Europe loves Ireland, and although not part of continental Europe, they were smart enough to adopt the Euro and the single market! Notice how despite their biggest trading partner being USA, they had the good sense to remain a part of the EU, seeing as at least 40% of their exports flow to the EU.
Ireland's economy actually grew in 2020 dispite the pandemic and Brexit.
@@hughmckendrick3018 thats right by 3.5% .amazing I arrived last year from Glossop, and never imagined the country to be doing so well, even in Pandemic.
@@peterperry5378 Does that increase in exports and domestic spending result in a better standard for the common Irish is the main question? Sadly it isn"t...
@@janjan55555 Well to be fair, the welfare system seems to be much better although the heath service is not as good as the NHS GP service in Camden I believe is being sold off as we speak to an American Insurance company. I only arrived here last year mind ,but prices are a bit more expensive, but meat is a lot cheaper and so is fish, they have all the some shops no morrisons or Asda though and fuel is cheaper also about 7p cheaper. It is very very clean here To be honest I like it here very much and I think you are certainly mistaken in your view point as I have not seen the misery that exists in impoverished areas of Manchester Liverpool and Birmingham yet but that does not say they exist in Dublin or Limerick where I live,
The have a fantastic motorway system much better than N.I and the minimum wage in the republic is a lot more than ours at 10.20 per hour and unemployment is at about 6%, Housing is really expensive. There are a lot of European migrants here including many English in West Cork, where I visited some ex pats last week. Cork is a boom town Apple has its European headquarters here and employs thousands of people. Hope this helps. Irelands national debt stands at 14 billion.. Ours is about 2 trillion and Irelands growth rate is 3.5% and as of a week ago ours stood at -9.9% this pandemic driven but Brexit figures will be something to behold over the next year i should think .
We warned you. You see now, it was not project fear, it was project fact!

@@brenglover72 Well the guy in this video kind of has every right to complain - he voted to remain because he thought problems like this would occur. Hard not to feel bad for him, he didn't ask for this at all.
Every time someone with a camera talks to a fisherman they should be saying "We will never vote Tory again unless you fix this right now!" You have to have some stomach. Do a protest. Join with other workers. Don't just make sad faces, vote the bastards out.
He voted remain... read the description
@@benwhite7630 Doesn't change the statement, read the post.
This can not be fixed in any way. EU law is in place since 2006. If this gets lifted the UK shellfishers will feel the impact of the reason why this ban was set up in the first place; To protect the consumers and the fishing industry. When lifting the ban for the UK all ban have to be lifted for all countries and the EU will be overflooded with cheap shellfish from Africa and india putting the shell fishers in the EU and in the UK out of business. That is the reason the ban will never be lifted and was put on in the first place.
It will get cut.
The channel would get accused of being lefty.
That's why they want rid of the BBC and Channel 4. Total control of the message.
I chopped my foot off and then went to my doctor and said that I would never speak to him again unless he fixed it right now. That certainly showed him!

I'm sorry, but wasn't that exactly what these fishermen wished upon their fellow fishermen across the channel and across the Irish Sea? They literally wanted to deprive them of their livelihood, right?
While I agree it's a shame that these people were misled, they are getting what they deserved for whishing so much ill on their colleagues.

Classic British arrogance. We are now in a similar boat (cough) to Libya, but we assumed that we 'd get special treatment in exporting to the EU because we're old pals. I laughed at the first couple of stories like this, but now it's just heartbreaking
Also, I really want to know that very well-spoken Fisherman's story. He seems like a curious chap
He's not a fisherman he's a fish broker.
@@medionles it described him as ‘local fisherman’ though? More importantly what was the white stuff around his nose? Ground up fishermans friend??
@@paulshepherd5649 Looked like zinc for sun/windburn. Hell a lot of sailors/fishermen end up with skin cancer if they live long enough.
The thing is, the UK was actually offered special treatment from the EU for being old pals, and they refused it. Several times they were offered total free trade, and then at last minute they were offered just free trade on fish if they wanted it, but they said no, and the fishermen screamed for them to say no. Less sharing waters with EU with less fish sold to the EU, or more sharing waters with the EU with more fish bought by the EU. This was spelled out to them right before christmas.
But according to Reese-Moog, the fish is happy now.
So he was promised more sale at home and new exotic markets abroad in exchange for known very good market he already had!
What stoped him from selling more at home in the first place and those exotic foreign markets, what stoped him from selling to them while in the EU? He didn’t see the scam he was sold, obviously not! Expensive mistake I guess!
the eu has never been the enemy
brexit has never been the solution
It's heartbreaking but this was all explained before the vote, we knew this would happen!
The strangest thing is people have never trust politicians for anything & yet they seemed to think they could be trusted for Brexit
"The UE has now more power over UK fishing industry than before Brexit" - No, it hasn't. You just thought that once out of Brexit you would go back to be the old Empire and do whatever you want, wherever you want, and it doesn't work like that because there are treaties and agreements in place between markets and you decided to jump out of one of the biggest ones.
That emptiness that you are feeling is not because the UE has more power over you than before, it's because you are now an orphan with no one to take care of you as the UK government and corporate power never really cared about the fishing industry.
How on earth would a super elitist and classist country care about fishermen?

It’s what the 52% were told they wanted, and got BJ the top job.
We don’t need Europe when we can sell fish to Hong Kong, and Canada.... and maybe Mexico. What could possibly go wrong.
Also be reminded. The EU gave the UK gov the opportunity to defer the Brexit until everything is sorted out. BJ didn‘t want to have that,because he wanted Brexit to be his accomplishment
They will still vote Tory, just like the farmers CBI and the red wall .what is there to say
They certainly will, because come election time, our heavily right wing media will gas light them all the way to the polls. Whether it’s immigration or some other scare tactic, they will leverage ‘an issue of the day’ to successfully shape public opinion, as they always do.
The working class serf Stockholm syndrome ?
This man voted remain
It is an anomaly for many of us why people followed the Johnson Brexit lie. Their strongest strap-line was no one knows what will happen. Would anyone run a business on that analysis? Brexit for the UK is wrapped up in a nasty jingliest approach to right wing nationalism. The Murdoch press, seething from being prevented by the EU from having a monopoly were in their element and waxed lyrical in their headlines which is all Brexit voters chose to read. When the UK joined the then common market we had the second worst economy in Europe. We are on our way to competing for that spot again. Brexit is lunacy and those who voted for it were totally deluded and many continue to be.
If only they had been warned that their fish would be treated as 3rd country.
He voted remain, so he deserves every sympathy. Sadly, however, he'll no doubt be labelled a "remoaner".
sadly it does not matter. remain voters will fill the cuts two. lets see what happens in scotland.
Unfortunately a good percentage from his industry voted to leave.
Sadly. I sympathise with him but not with the people who voted leave. A lot of those people especially the English are still in denial about Brexit. They also claim that the EU is being too protectionist and wants to destroy the UK.
I don't believe any second someone from this fishing industry now pretending voted remain. Don't be fool, they all voted leave. I have sympathy whatsoever. UK fishing industry needs closure altogether.
