Interesting responses to pro Brexit voters on here - the English eel farmer can reap what he sows but the Scottish Fisheries Industry were lied to/duped/shafted.

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

Are there any pro Brexit voters on here?

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

Thanks.

I don't think I'm wrong though in suggesting that the CFP is far from beloved by the UK fishing industry?

As for the current row over fishing I'll be surprised if there isn't a good deal of political manoeuvering and compromise/compensation to come.

Indubitably.

They've always had a go at it. They thought they'd be getting all the fish in the sea back for them alone, or at least have a better deal than they had under the CFP. It seems as if the UKGov have played a blinder here, and negotiated worse than we had.

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.

The reality is we are all reaping what was sown - regardless of how you voted ....

Both have got themselves at least partly to blame. The Scottish Fishing Industry wanted to eat their cake and have it and they trusted the Tories to deliver it, I'm finding it hard to sympathise with their situation.

[ronaldo7]

This gives a bit of a timeline on what the Tories have done to the Scottish Fishing Industry over the years.

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.

I'm just wondering though whether Frenchmen & Spaniards show up on English farms & help themselves to the eels?

[Bostonhibby]

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.

Did anyone see the interview with the guy who owned a glass eel farm/factory on Sky News yesterday? His eels were exported exclusively to the EU and his business was now on the verge of collapse.

He said "I might have voted differently in the referendum if I'd known that Brexit might cost jobs or even my business".

Seriously?

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

That’s hilarious. What sort of utter moron votes to leave the EU when your business model 100% relies on it? Sounds harsh but he deserves everything he gets.

So basically every single thing he promised has been renaged on but he's still allowed to claim victory via the press/BBC unchallenged. Seems fair, if you live in a banana republic/fascist state.

A political vandal constantly hailed as a "good leader" and a "good laugh", this country is really, really weird.

For a lot of people Brexit wasn't an intellectual choice, it was more an emotional response. So when guys like the above see the Union Jack being waved or hears some ancient English war dirge being sung any actual thinking just goes straight out the window, especially if a toff is delivering the message.

i think there’s a lot of arrogance been present in pro-brexit minds, much of which is rooted in decades old thinking. I’ve heard people still talking along the lines of ‘you’d be talking German if it wasn’t for us’, or ‘we saved you from the nazi jackboot’, and expect these European nations to cowtow to whatever demands the British govt made.

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.

Elspeth McDonald, Chief Executive of the Scottish Fishermen's Federation, shooting from the hip again.

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.
