Great leave the fish alone. Can’t say that’d bother me and good from an environmental point of view. Not great for jobs or trade though. Apply that next to other sectors and everyone will be worse off. But as long as we put a few French fishermen out of work it’ll be worth it.

Switzerland–European Union relations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


EU
Switzerland

Switzerland is not a member state of the European Union (EU). It is associated with the Union through a series of bilateral treaties in which Switzerland has adopted various provisions of European Union law in order to participate in the Union's single market, without joining as a member state. All but one (the microstate Liechtenstein) of Switzerland's neighbouring countries are EU member states.

Johnson should take the deal on offer.
I totally agree with the EU. position on fishing and level playing field"

Maxk
I do not believe Careful knows what "level playing field" entails otherwise he wouldn't be this stupid.

Handing over vast tracts of our economic policy to EU to continue to dictate how we run our affairs is both not Brexit, nor is it wise.

I'm beginning to suspect Careful is a Vichy Frenchman - a coward happy to have a foreign power run his life/country.

DrB - they don't do facts on this thread btw.

Dr Biotech

Use your loaf. If they deny us access to their markets for fish, and we cant sell them elsewhere. We can simply leave the fish alone. Costs us nothing, and good for the fish stocks.

[scruff1] 12/12/2020 10:45

I suspect its all a lot of us have left :-(

[dr biotech] 12/12/2020 10:44

Not true. US is 4th

Our biggest exports

France (94000 tonnes)
Netherlands 58
Rep Ireland 51
US 40
Spain 37
China 25
Others all less than 20

Biggest imports


China 74
Germany 58
Iceland 58
Sweden 43
Faroes/Denmark/Vietnam/Norway 37-40

So we sell about 80% to the EU. If they deny us free access to their markets it’s going to hurt. You have tarriffs plus people not wanting to buy British. Just have to see how many on here (and on other BBs) saying they are not going to buy any EU product - that’s going to be reciprocated.

Not sure what point you are making there smarty. Over 20 0dd k fishermen in the 70's but methods and quotas also had an effect. What is a fact is since the 80's we have been a net importer of fish. Also may be of interest to post Brexit trade ( although I suspect Remainers think there wont be any) after France the USA is the biggest importer of our fish. We sell more to China than Germany and Belgium combined and more to S. Korea than Belgium.
I know its a nuisance but it is possible to see positives

scruff - There is an old saying - never ask a Treasurer about their last weekend. Always ask them about their plans for next weekend.

[alphorn] 12/12/2020 10:35

scruff - just don't live in the past like most of the posters on here.

[scruff1] 12/12/2020 10:29

By nutty poster Alp do you mean one you disagree with? Its always been prudent to have a regard to history. The French have found another deGaulle have they not?

[alphorn] 12/12/2020 10:25

scruff - CH is not in the EU - let's try and keep to facts please.

[alphorn] 12/12/2020 10:22

When one of these nutty posters runs out of rational arguments they fall back into history.

"Maybe we can find another Nelson"

.........what a scruffy argument. Lol

[scruff1] 12/12/2020 10:15

Its France with the problem methinks. As any salesman will tell you - obtaining the goods is far more difficult than selling them. Your arguments are all over the shop so I think any further is futile

[smartypants] 12/12/2020 10:08

Sell more to China now? So what exactly is the problem?

[smartypants] 12/12/2020 10:05

Are there any honest men in Grimsby..have ever been....try a weekend in Cleethorpes get a feel for the area. You do know that Grimsby is now one of the biggest ports for landing new cars in the UK. You know all those EU manufactured new cars that you want to stop coming in? Oh no what's that going to do to the livelyhoods of the honest folk in Grimsby

Send out the Golden Hind as a reminder to the French what will happen to their vessels if they continue to rape our waters and destroy the lives of the honest men of Grimsby & Hull who are the forgotten victims of this whole sorry debacle with the EU. Have her escorted by HMS Victory with full cannon trained to smash their bow. Have every ship fly the white ensign now with orders to sink on sight this is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY.

When was the last time you fancied assole?
