Who’d have thought that an island nation imposing an economic blockade on itself would suffer negative consequences. If only some experts had warned them.
If only that were true. The UK runs a trade deficit with the EU of around £100 billion a year. The UK economically is going ok, better than many in the EU. How's the German economy going? Franc'es debt to GDP at 112%.Greek debt to gdp 162%, Spain debt to GDP 110%,Italy debt to GDP at 138% of GDP............ Yeah it's awful over here in the UK under this blockade 🤣🤣🤣 . Not perfect by any means but you're in denial if you think the EU is in a good place.
@@joecurran2811 Yep and Germany is the biggest economy now go and check out France's debt to GDP, Spain debt to GDP ,Greek Debt to GDP, Italian debt to GDP. By some distance the German,French,Spanish and Italian economies are the biggest in the EU. 3 out of 4 of those economies are economic basket cases. The only ones who are net contributors (Germany aside) are either small economically or net recipient of EU (German,French,Dutch) money. Has the penny dropped yet?.

@@AdrianSams The UK lost 13% of the value of it's currency. That was never made up for and won't be. So when you quote figures try and understand them.

The difference in price just leaves our shores.
"British fish is the best ... Everyone wants British fish" ... yeah ... except that for the last 50 years that "British" fish was actually Norwegian fish, since no one in Britain wanted ACTUAL British fish, caught in British waters. Sorry, but that's still the same daft rhetoric as before the Brexit vote ... when WILL they finally learn?
"British fish is the best ..." i recently saw a interview with a British oyster farmer. He was talking about the effort he has to make, to get his oyster clear out all the human waste, that they have consumed in the "pristine" UK waters before. After that, my appetite for British fish got a little damper
Brits didn't eat British fish much, that's true, but us Europeans did. I love mackerel. And while you were in the EU, it was easy to sell British fish to us. So that's how it worked---your catch was sold in the EU, Scandinavian fish in Britain. That broke since 1/ it now takes too much time to export fish caught in British waters and 2/ the water quality isn't adequate and purification used to be done in the EU. All that was known before Brexit; but people were convinced that there will be a great Brexit deal---the cake-ist utopia. Whomever pointed these problems out was labelled as unpatriotic, Project Fear proponent and eventually one who doesn't believe in Brexit enough---as the thing literally became a religion. And here in Europe, we stared open-mouthed at a nation, which we always considered rational and down-to-earth, turned into a bunch of crazy cultists.
@@richymoto Yes, I know... The trouble is that (as always) the most crazy and cultist are also the loudest. A vocal minority shadowing the normal (but silent) majority.
Wasn’t Farage on the EU fisheries committee when he was an MEP ? Did he , or did he not , attend the committee only once ? Did he claim that attending was a waste of time ? Was he paid to attend to represent U.K. fisherman’s interests ?
Yes - all too true. He has no idea how to make things work - only how to break them. He took the pay but didn't do the job and now he is clinging on to his EU pension - whilst trying to become an MP - where he will no doubt stitch everyone up again.
Farage doesn't give an F about anyone but himself. He screwed his own country so hard, not that the local idiots realized it, they're still voting for him for some reason!
Yes the Government as failed the fishing Industry. But the Fisher men were always moaning about the EU and we want our waters back. They voted for Bixit. So they only have themselves to blame.
The fishing industry were always moaning about the EU and rightly so. The CFP (Common fisheries Policy) gave the UK only 40% of teh fish quota in our own waters. Add to that the fact that when UK boats went over to French waters to fish for scallops the French attacked UK boats and yet the EU did nothing. The CFP which is there to manage stocks also failed to preserve fish stocks in the Med. In many areas of the Med there are no fish so when the EU did finally act and impose a ban to help fish stocks recover the French,Spanish etc had a paddy and the EU caved it. You really should educate yourself on teh subject before gobbing off............. Prat
@@AdrianSams So how's the fishing industry going now, then? Have you been down to the Farage garage in Dover to see how those scallops wait for hours in bureaucratic controls? Problem is that now we can't sell the fish!
@@AdrianSams Blaming the EU bureaucrats for the decisions made by sovereign governments shows you don’t understand what the EU is. Scientists have been warning about stocks for decades, the EU have been calling for cuts for decades, the national governments including the UK not once agreed to the levels required.
Never understood the fishing business decision to leave the EU. The fish most caught off British waters are not consumed by UK and they lost fishing rights around Norway. The fish in the Norway waters are used for fish and chips .
@@guyspearing4608 I live in a fishing community on the South Coast. Our fleet are making a living but are very critical of the deal . The issues you raise are purely implemented as punishment by the EU and especially the French. Plenty of fish being bought around the South Coast. Where do you live Guy?.
they got exactly what they voted for..... and the EU isnt responsible for their decision, the Brits alone are responsible..... and Fartage and his Russian backers!
@@spidos1000 That "the Brits" is simply wrong. It implies that the Brits, as a whole, were in favour of and thus responsible for, Brexit. The campaign against Brexit, which brought some of the largest ever marches to the streets of British cities, showed just how committed to the EU very many Britons are - and very many more are today after the terrible experience of Brexit. So a fair statement would be: "the Brexit voters got exactly what they voted for..... and the EU isn't responsible for their decision, the Brexit-supporting Brits alone are responsible..... and Fartage and his Russian backers!"
I have every sympathy for the unfortunate British people who got sucked into the Brexit fiasco. However the fishermen are one group that I have no sympathy for. Those fishermen had no problem with the decimation of the fishing industry, had no problem with fishermen being poorer and had no problem with the likelihood of jobs being lost in the industry. No problem at all just so long as it was EU fishermen who were suffering. I remember seeing Grimbsy fishermen on television with Pied Piper Farage and them laughing and gloating, yes gloating at how they were going to destroy the EU fishing industry post Brexit. Karma, wonderful karma!!!
i believe the main reason for Brexit was that they didn't want to exchange their money into Euro, because they value their sterling pound so much, with their blue blood pics, at least that's what i remember
@@LordArthex One of the main reasons for Brexit and why it was voted for was FULL control of our own borders... We're still in the ECHR. That says all you need to know on how the current government has FAILED to deliver Brexit and in fact did everything they could to prolong it. Brexit never failed, our government failed to deliver Brexit. That much is CRYSTAL CLEAR.
@@WunnSENthe lot of you destroyed the country because of ridiculous nationalism. How’s that sovereignty going for you? You are still stuck in the glory empire days and you voted leave because you thought the British empire was still a thing. Newsflash you need other countries, you cut off Europe for what exactly?
@@Aubrey2004-j4k If you're that stupid to believe that, then nothing i say will convince you otherwise. ECHR have proven time and time again they're corrupt and one of THEE reasons the UK is in decline due to it's population explosion. That's fact.
You were warned by the Governor and board of the Bank of England. The Independent actuaries.. The heads of almost all the FTSE 100 companies. But you chose to listen to politicians.. A self serving reality TV star and the BREXIT party which was actually a private company. What could have possibly gone wrong?
We are fishing less so EU fisherman are doing better. The complete reverse of what Farage and Boris promised.....and people are going to vote REFORM. There is no helping this country.
The first ever time i saw and heard Farage talk i already doubted him. He was just too outspoken and "convinced". I stick with the expression that the best politicians are usually the most boring ones with the unpopular stories.
Farage was elected by voters to represent them in the European Parliament - and he failed them spectacularly. Up to June 2016, UKIP leader Nigel Farage had the worst voting record of any active MEP in European Parliament. Analysis of the MEP voting records placed Farage 745th out of 746 MEPs on the register - with only Brian Crowley, a MEP in Ireland who has NEVER voted, below him. It’s almost as though he couldn’t care less about the will of the people who he represented, but used the mandate given to him to play petty politics.
I would point out that Brian Crowley was in a wheelchair since the age of 16 and was suffering from ill health in the latter years as MEP and unable to attend .
I understand he now wants to move the NHS to an insurance based model. Who will benefit from that. That will leave a significant portion of the population with no health cover.
They were warned and still voted for brexit. Boris Johnson was a well know liar and they still voted for Brexit. Sorry but Stupidity doesn't deserve respect, so live with it...
@@gedreillyhomestead6926European states have been fishing each others waters for centuries, nothing to do with the EU. That is also the reason that brexit did not change as much in the fishing quota as brexit liars were saying. All based on treaties pré-dating the EU.
@@Valecto LIAR LIAR LIAR,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, What is the best fish to eat in the North Sea? The focus of fishing is on mackerel, cod, haddock, saithe, herring, plaice and sole.

British fish the best? Everybody wants British fish? This is the dillusional thinking bordering on madness. If people can get convinced by such rhetoric,they can be convinced by anything they want.
Especially British fish caught in Norwegian waters ... well ... I guess for some people the Empire still exists and a stiff upper lip with a pointed gun will get a plucky Englishman everything he desires. They still haven't come to terms that their "great empire" and "financial prowess" and "business acumen" did rely 100% on the exploitation of their colonies. And they still managed to squander most of the money they stole. Like the US they don't want to be part of something, they want to be the one in control. The EU is better off without them. Enjoy your Brexit, re-form the Commonwealth under strong British rule and rebuild your Empire. I'm sure your former colonies will flock back to you once they see reason, being ashamed that they mistakenly thought they might be better of being independent.
The market for the UK fish was the EU, what on earth did he think was going to happen? The EU sells the fish that the British like to eat and it has for a very long time. That fish has flown the coop, to mix a perfectly good metaphor.
What about when everyone else pays for the stupidity of other people’s choices? Does that make you happy too, or do you have room in your heart for a little compassion?
LOL. Who was the wit who commented that Democracy always seems a good idea until you meet up with the average voter? It applies to the politicians they elect too. No idea! The blind electing the incompetent. The best/saddest example recently was the UK's Government's (mis)management of the recent Covid epidemic which was led by a man, B Johnson, with zero knowledge of virology and epidemiology and, worse still, would take no advice from public health experts. This led to unnecessary deaths of older residents in nursing homes, for example..
@@knightsnight5929 Well, maybe just a large part of the problem. Another significant part of the problem is rarely mentioned: that is the large number eligible to vote but who did not vote because decided that the Brexit referendum wasn't important enough to be bothered getting off their lazy butts and going to vote. Including many younger people who are now complaining about their reduced opportunities, but whose vote could have outweighed the older Brexit voters had they bothered to show up.
Blunt reality is that the British government hasn't valued fising for decades, 5 decades. We British people dont vale fish. We dont eat it much. The end.
"...Official statistics on the economic output of the fishing industry are volatile and can be significantly revised from year to year. According to the ONS, in 2021, the sector contributed around 0.03% of total UK economic output and around 5% of the broader agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors...".

Tough one. People don't want to go back and the EU has no interest to give any fishing jobs to 3rd parties. Why would Norway give away their fish when they can ban the UK fishermen and sell fish to the UK directly? We cannot expect miracles from the politicians.

They don't need the competitor who brings nothing to the table. Nothing the Brexiters proved that. Britain doesn't have the power anymore to get new markets. The EU has negotiated better deals than the UK in many cases. The current deal with the UK is too good for the EU to change it. So people might want what they want but it's irrelevant.

I was at the supermarket here in the Netherlands yesterday wondering how Australian and Canadian products including fish are on the shelves here but the British products aren't?
This is why I can't back Farage in the slightest and get worried when I see his popularity coming back. He did all this, got Brexit and then just left when the difficult part was actually was coming up. Theres no substance to the man.
From Spain, I work in the fish marketing sector. Spain is one of the largest consumers of fish in the world. There are many species of fish that are not appreciated in the rest of Europe and that are highly priced here. I can never understand why English fishermen voted in favour of Brexit, when Europe and Spain in particular were the destination of most of their catches and at prices they had never dreamed of. I remember that when Spain joined the EU our fishermen complained about the competition from fresh fish brought in from Great Britain. Today, our largest supplier of fresh fish outside the EU is Morocco, which has replaced Great Britain, with fish of equal quality and better price. Other great beneficiaries have been French fishermen. My company still imports fish caught by British fishermen, but in much smaller quantities and paying lower prices at source than those paid before Brexit. The biggest problem with bringing fish from Great Britain is not the customs bureaucracy, it is that the comercial chain has been broken. Before Brexit, there were Spanish buyers based in Great Britain, joint ventures, regular fish transport... now everything is less normalized. British fishermen, as we say in Spain, have thrown stones on their own roof
No offense, but the fishing industries are facing an existential crisis on a global scale. The fact that this British trawler has to travel to Svalbard, instead of the Norwegian coast also has to do with the fact that there are no more fish off the coast of populated areas.
Didn't the Times tell those same people how great Brexit, and Johnson would be? And call any dissenting 'expert' on these things doomsayers and traitors? Maybe we need press reform so lies aren't sold to the public as undisputed fact, and the electorate can't be conned into voting against their interests again.
Clarification What this fisherman is saying is, British fishman want EU and Norwegian Quota not the worthless British fish in British waters! What the Brexit fisherman really wanted was more EU and Norwegian quota after Brexit lol!
Super interesting that he says ‘the government’ conned the fishermen. Everyone’s forgotten the detail of the campaign and it makes you wonder who knew anything in the first place.
‘The British government told us they’d take back fishing’ no they didn’t and it’s disturbing to see these people take no ownership of the problem they created. No lessons learnt from destroying the country.

@@tonyfraser1749Dude, the ECHR has nothing to do with the EU. The ECHR was setup in the 50s, 40 years prior to the formation of the EU. Do you think that just anything with the word “Europe” in it is part of the EU? And as far as I am aware, we never had any referendum on leaving the ECHR, so the government has no national mandate to do so. I am not saying they can’t, but I am saying that the ECHR has nothing to do with Brexit. Mate, Brexit is done. This is it. As you said, Boris pushed it over the line. The only people who have any right to complain now are those in NI, who are still in a customs union, but interestingly I hear very little complaint from them. Finally, Boris was not kicked out for Brexit. Brexit was long over by the time he resigned.
I mean, you get what you vote for..... The UK did nothing but whine and moan about the EU. The UK left, and the EU is stronger than never! I truly hope we never allow them to return!
It has. They are just quick to take Brexit and use it as a scapegoat. The corrupt politicians are to blame for decades of decline in all industries. They use scapegoating as their tactic to push blame on anything but their corruption.
They were told leaving would INCREASE their fishing by liars as posh conmen. And one of those liars is back lying again and conning people all over again.

I've seen many post Brexit impact videos now, and they all follow the same basic script: Brexit supporters in [Insert industry] thought Brexit would be good for them, and to their dismay, find out that its actually terrible. There is plenty of sad music to accompany the human interest focus on how hard-done by these same people are, and it would garner sympathy if it weren't for the fact that the actual audience for these videos, I suspect, are largely Remainers who come for a dose of schadenfreude. What none of the videos seems to talk about is what led up to people voting for something that seems so obviously self-destructive - and not just in retrospect. Basically everybody who could reasonably be labelled an expert was screaming warnings about Brexit, to little avail. The real story here, and the real continuing danger, is the persistent devaluing of expert opinion in favour of populist opinion. Who wants to hear that good governance means making tough choices that don't always sound great, when there are plenty of people selling the lie that you can indeed have your cake and eat it! As long as we continue to ignore expert opinion in favour of whatever happens to make us feel good, we can expect more Brexit-like decisions to come.
I prefer Mediterranean fish to "British" cod fished in Norwegian waters...honestly you shot yourself in the feet by believing the lies that were spewed on the EU. And oh the Irony, eating last night dinner in Malta (EU) and listening to 4 pensioners who voted Brexit but live in Malta - hence in the EU. These are the people who decided to ruin your fishing industry.
Brexit was a promise that could never and will never be forfilled. If the UK had got its own way on everything and the EU had agreed to it. Then Brexit would have been the best thing that has ever happened to the UK. As thats never going to happen , nor is Brexit.
UK: Are people regretting Brexit? How is Brexit affecting the economy? Was Brexit a mistake? Did Brexit make things better or worse? How did Brexit impact the fishers and farmers? EU: Brexit? Oh, that was years ago. What's done is done.

Farage doesn't give an F about anyone but himself. He screwed his own country so hard, not that the local idiots realized it, they're still voting for him for some reason!
Yes the Government as failed the fishing Industry. But the Fisher men were always moaning about the EU and we want our waters back. They voted for Bixit. So they only have themselves to blame.
The fishing industry were always moaning about the EU and rightly so. The CFP (Common fisheries Policy) gave the UK only 40% of teh fish quota in our own waters. Add to that the fact that when UK boats went over to French waters to fish for scallops the French attacked UK boats and yet the EU did nothing. The CFP which is there to manage stocks also failed to preserve fish stocks in the Med. In many areas of the Med there are no fish so when the EU did finally act and impose a ban to help fish stocks recover the French,Spanish etc had a paddy and the EU caved it. You really should educate yourself on teh subject before gobbing off............. Prat
@@AdrianSams So how's the fishing industry going now, then? Have you been down to the Farage garage in Dover to see how those scallops wait for hours in bureaucratic controls? Problem is that now we can't sell the fish!
@@AdrianSams Blaming the EU bureaucrats for the decisions made by sovereign governments shows you don’t understand what the EU is. Scientists have been warning about stocks for decades, the EU have been calling for cuts for decades, the national governments including the UK not once agreed to the levels required.
Never understood the fishing business decision to leave the EU. The fish most caught off British waters are not consumed by UK and they lost fishing rights around Norway. The fish in the Norway waters are used for fish and chips .
@@guyspearing4608 I live in a fishing community on the South Coast. Our fleet are making a living but are very critical of the deal .

To be fair, it was the ~1/3rd of British voters who voted for Brexit. Very nearly as many voted against.
@@Brynmawrhill and less than 1/3 voted to remain. What's your point?
@@spidos1000 That "the Brits" is simply wrong. It implies that the Brits, as a whole, were in favour of and thus responsible for, Brexit. The campaign against Brexit, which brought some of the largest ever marches to the streets of British cities, showed just how committed to the EU very many Britons are - and very many more are today after the terrible experience of Brexit.
So a fair statement would be:
"the Brexit voters got exactly what they voted for.....
and the EU isn't responsible for their decision,
the Brexit-supporting Brits alone are responsible..... and Fartage and his Russian backers!"

I have every sympathy for the unfortunate British people who got sucked into the Brexit fiasco. However the fishermen are one group that I have no sympathy for. Those fishermen had no problem with the decimation of the fishing industry, had no problem with fishermen being poorer and had no problem with the likelihood of jobs being lost in the industry. No problem at all just so long as it was EU fishermen who were suffering. I remember seeing Grimbsy fishermen on television with Pied Piper Farage and them laughing and gloating, yes gloating at how they were going to destroy the EU fishing industry post Brexit. Karma, wonderful karma!!!
Fish around and find out.
Indeed it was a selfish and jingoistic vote. Same for the farmers.
The Brits failed themselves with their religious levels of self-importance. Don’t blame others. Look in the mirror instead.
i believe the main reason for Brexit was that they didn't want to exchange their money into Euro, because they value their sterling pound so much, with their blue blood pics, at least that's what i remember
@@LordArthex One of the main reasons for Brexit and why it was voted for was FULL control of our own borders... We're still in the ECHR.

The first ever time i saw and heard Farage talk i already doubted him. He was just too outspoken and "convinced".
I stick with the expression that the best politicians are usually the most boring ones with the unpopular stories.
Who was the British mep on the eu fisheries commission for all those years ???
Attended just one meeting ?!?!
Surname starting with "Far" and ending with "age" ?
@@Valecto
Correct
UKIP MEP. I never voted for UKIP, I voted for Labour MEPs because I wanted a progressive EU that did things to help people.
Farage was elected by voters to represent them in the European Parliament - and he failed them spectacularly. Up to June 2016, UKIP leader Nigel Farage had the worst voting record of any active MEP in European Parliament. Analysis of the MEP voting records placed Farage 745th out of 746 MEPs on the register - with only Brian Crowley, a MEP in Ireland who has NEVER voted, below him. It’s almost as though he couldn’t care less about the will of the people who he represented, but used the mandate given to him to play petty politics.
I would point out that Brian Crowley was in a wheelchair since the age of 16 and was suffering from ill health in the latter years as MEP and unable to attend .
I have never heard of Brian Crowley. Which party did he represent in the EU parliament?
I understand he now wants to move the NHS to an insurance based model. Who will benefit from that. That will leave a significant portion of the population with no health cover.

British fish the best? Everybody wants British fish? This is the dillusional thinking bordering on madness. If people can get convinced by such rhetoric,they can be convinced by anything they want.
Especially British fish caught in Norwegian waters ... well ... I guess for some people the Empire still exists and a stiff upper lip with a pointed gun will get a plucky Englishman everything he desires. They still haven't come to terms that their "great empire" and "financial prowess" and "business acumen" did rely 100% on the exploitation of their colonies. And they still managed to squander most of the money they stole. Like the US they don't want to be part of something, they want to be the one in control. The EU is better off without them. Enjoy your Brexit, re-form the Commonwealth under strong British rule and rebuild your Empire. I'm sure your former colonies will flock back to you once they see reason, being ashamed that they mistakenly thought they might be better of being independent.

This led to unnecessary deaths of older residents in nursing homes, for example..
@@knightsnight5929 Well, maybe just a large part of the problem.
Another significant part of the problem is rarely mentioned: that is the large number eligible to vote but who did not vote because decided that the Brexit referendum wasn't important enough to be bothered getting off their lazy butts and going to vote. Including many younger people who are now complaining about their reduced opportunities, but whose vote could have outweighed the older Brexit voters had they bothered to show up.
It’s not ‘British fish’ if it’s Norwegian is it?
Blunt reality is that the British government hasn't valued fising for decades, 5 decades. We British people dont vale fish. We dont eat it much.
The end.
"...Official statistics on the economic output of the fishing industry are volatile and can be significantly revised from year to year. According to the ONS, in 2021, the sector contributed around 0.03% of total UK economic output and around 5% of the broader agriculture, forestry and fishing sectors...".

They don't need the competitor who brings nothing to the table. Nothing the Brexiters proved that. Britain doesn't have the power anymore to get new markets.

This is why I can't back Farage in the slightest and get worried when I see his popularity coming back. He did all this, got Brexit and then just left when the difficult part was actually was coming up. Theres no substance to the man.
From Spain, I work in the fish marketing sector. Spain is one of the largest consumers of fish in the world. There are many species of fish that are not appreciated in the rest of Europe and that are highly priced here. I can never understand why English fishermen voted in favour of Brexit, when Europe and Spain in particular were the destination of most of their catches and at prices they had never dreamed of. I remember that when Spain joined the EU our fishermen complained about the competition from fresh fish brought in from Great Britain. Today, our largest supplier of fresh fish outside the EU is Morocco, which has replaced Great Britain, with fish of equal quality and better price. Other great beneficiaries have been French fishermen. My company still imports fish caught by British fishermen, but in much smaller quantities and paying lower prices at source than those paid before Brexit. The biggest problem with bringing fish from Great Britain is not the customs bureaucracy, it is that the comercial chain has been broken. Before Brexit, there were Spanish buyers based in Great Britain, joint ventures, regular fish transport... now everything is less normalized. British fishermen, as we say in Spain, have thrown stones on their own roof
"They're taking our market". No, the Tories gave it to them. You'll never learn.
No offense, but the fishing industries are facing an existential crisis on a global scale. The fact that this British trawler has to travel to Svalbard, instead of the Norwegian coast also has to do with the fact that there are no more fish off the coast of populated areas.
While you make a plausible suggestion, please back it up with solid research data.
@@californiadreamin8423 .... oh right! Overfishing is just a conspiracy and everything currently going wrong in Britain is the result of Brexit!

I've seen many post Brexit impact videos now, and they all follow the same basic script: Brexit supporters in [Insert industry] thought Brexit would be good for them, and to their dismay, find out that its actually terrible. There is plenty of sad music to accompany the human interest focus on how hard-done by these same people are, and it would garner sympathy if it weren't for the fact that the actual audience for these videos, I suspect, are largely Remainers who come for a dose of schadenfreude.
What none of the videos seems to talk about is what led up to people voting for something that seems so obviously self-destructive - and not just in retrospect. Basically everybody who could reasonably be labelled an expert was screaming warnings about Brexit, to little avail. The real story here, and the real continuing danger, is the persistent devaluing of expert opinion in favour of populist opinion. Who wants to hear that good governance means making tough choices that don't always sound great, when there are plenty of people selling the lie that you can indeed have your cake and eat it! As long as we continue to ignore expert opinion in favour of whatever happens to make us feel good, we can expect more Brexit-like decisions to come.
Cod fishing isn't fishing it's mining seaweed forests, should be banned the trawlers sunk.
Even Napoleon failed to impose a continental blockade on Britain
The common fisheries policy killed it off. It favoured the continent more than us. That is what the EU did for us.

And oh the Irony, eating last night dinner in Malta (EU) and listening to 4 pensioners who voted Brexit but live in Malta - hence in the EU. These are the people who decided to ruin your fishing industry.
Brexit was a promise that could never and will never be forfilled. If the UK had got its own way on everything and the EU had agreed to it. Then Brexit would have been the best thing that has ever happened to the UK. As thats never going to happen , nor is Brexit.
