We can now catch MORE of our own fish than we could when we where in the EU.

You'll never please the remoaners Boris mate, those that insisted we get a deal.



Whose a remoaner,I voted to leave to get our waters back, Johnson has completely failed in this, they are even allowed to fish within our 12 mile limit. If you want to see it’s a a positive it’s your choice, the fact is we caved in on fishing to get a deal, we have our sovereignty but not our waters. Norway have a much better deal no one but them can fish their seas without permission. So we got back a tiny bit of our own fish wow
Not interested in who won or lost, this is not much different to Mays deal, but I am sure the spin will be different. I would expect the local MPs to vote against because it sold the fishing industry down the river, However it seems Starmer will back it so it should sail through

It was the remainers on here started saying we are going to lose and not get a deal. It did not matter how many times I said we would it was just doom and gloom all the time.

We are going to be better off out you wait and see.


We were always going to get "a deal" of some sort. The question is, is it a good deal? We haven't "won" anything. You think 660 billion sounds impressive because it's a big number. It's a flipping drop in a very large ocean. An ocean we can no longer sail in.

We don’t have either the trawlers or the fishermen to sail any oceans anyway Ginny. Disgraceful as it is, the time of trawling from Grimsby has gone for good. However good or bad the deal, sadly that is the reality we have to live with after 50 odd years of being sold down the river by different governments and screwed by every French president since De Gaulle. My deceased fishing relatives will be spinning in their graves whichever way it turns out.

Pete. That £660 billion pounds isn’t new business. It’s the £660billion we would be doing anyway tariff free. We’re no better off . In fact worse off because in the Single Market EU countries can’t put up all sorts of little blocks to our exports. Plus there’s all the extra bureaucracy. Business has to recruit an extra 50,000 non-productive people to handle the paperwork = lower profits = less tax. The government is having to employ more customs and excise staff (imagine that, all those extra Swins 😉) which taxpayers have to cover. The finance industry (one of our big export earners) isn’t protected to the same degree, so again we lose profitable business and taxes.

As Ron pointed out, we don’t have the capacity in our fishing industry to benefit so that extra ‘British’ fish will be caught by foreign fishermen in foreign owned boats sailing under a flag of convenience.

You’ve been had if you think this is good deal.

Oh and we have a customs boarder between GB and NI. Good work Boris you lying cûnt!

Still I can get a blue passport next year. Whoop-defucking do!


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Forgive me if I fail to recognise your foresight Pete, after all you followed 'In Jolley we trust' with 'In Ollie we trust' The new bloke must be shitting himself that you will approve of him

We could before.

Truth is, Boris lied (surprise) and is now parading the agreement like he's won the World Cup.

The extra fishing quotas will be sold to the highest bidder like the last lot were.

Then there is the work time directive, which we will scrap and our workers will be back to being the most poorly treated in Western Europe. Turkeys voting for Christmas.

Some of you missed my analogy. The Ocean I referred to was Europe, not the actual sea. I just used a nautical reference to make it topical.

I know that Ginny hence my wink.

We are free to make our  own deals now and we will make them on better terms.

Stop being so defeatist .
