All Brexit voters were lied to, English and Scottish. So were anti-Brexit voters - they just didn't believe all the lies.Quote:

I meant the posts quoting or discussing pro Brexit voters, not actual posters on here.Quote:

They all have to reap what they’ve sown. A large number of fishermen voted for brexit knowing it would be detrimental to other industries, they then voted Tory at the election. I’ve not got a problem with that, everyone votes for what they think will be best for them, but I’ve no sympathy for anyone who puts their trust in the Tories. The eel farmer and the fishermen both fall into the same category.Quote:

Just waiting on the resignations now.
I know even less about eel farming than I do about fishing so I'm definitely not going to comment.Quote:

Don't see what the fishermen expect here, a majority made the brexit leap of faith and they've got Michael Gove telling them what a fantastic deal it is.

Just watched it on Twitter. He seemed rather downbeat about the thought that "Global Britain" wasn't going to be a thing anymore.Quote:

they won’t hear a word that they’re referring to events 75+ years ago, and that these are all individual nations who work in tandem for the collective greater good, and that they are just as entitled to do what suits them best rather than what suits some of the UK best.
and these same people will be the first to whine and complain when they’re longer getting through the airports when going on holiday, and that their favourite food/drink/etc is suddenly more expensive, and will blame the Europeans for those things too.

Brexit deal falls ‘far short of commitments and promises’
“Although we are glad to be out of the CFP, our battle to secure better arrangements for our fishermen is far from over. We are now a coastal state with one hand tied behind our back and the industry’s task in the months and years ahead is to right the wrongs of this deal.”

Honestly, you couldn’t make it up. Just like Farage and his kids applying for German passports after the referendum.
It would be great if Germany, France and the like could find a way to tell this sorry little shower of a*******s to F off.
