No deal Brexit now on the cards on 12:32 - Oct 16 with 3699 views | m14_blue | I can't even begin to comprehend how insane this is. No deal was suicidal in normal times, and so toxic it was dismissed as 'Project Fear' by every single Brexiteer. Somehow it has become normalised through a drip feed from our right wing media and other swivel eyed loons and self interested millionaires. To press on with it in these circumstances is beyond suicidal, I can't think of an adjective to describe the lunacy. The whole world are just looking at us in stunned disbelief, how can anyone possibly be this stupid?? | | | |

He means the EU should agree to tear up the WA Johnson signed, As to 'no deal' that is just fat boy putting it out there so as to claim what ever he can scrap together, is a victory that avoids a no deal Johnson is about as skilled at politics as I am at conducting latin mass in the Vatican | | | |

If so many of the population weren’t so fundamentally easily led, we wouldn’t be here in the first place. I don’t blame the likes of you who voted for it, you’re still hoovering up all the sound bites you’re spoonfed and clearly don’t have the capacity to think for yourself. It’s those that led the charge trumpeting on about project fear every day for months on end who have led us to this entirely predictable outcome. | |

big tocket otems ? Fishing is not the sticking point - it is merely a convenient totem for Johnson to rally around It is the UK's refusal to honour the deal (WA) it previously signed ie you want to be in the club, then you abide by club rules you know, the ones the UK helped to formulate | | | |
No deal Brexit now on the cards on 14:35 - Oct 16 with 3464 views | jaykay | this is how the right wing tories work. the tory business owner and tory farmer , go to eastern europe and recruit cheap labour. put them up in a run down hotel owned by a tory. then they tell the british working class look at all these foreigners coming here taking your jobs. then they dangle brexit in front of them , with vote for them and we will get our borders back ( we always had control of our borders]. so the problem which they caused ,which they hid well, they had the cure for. now being in the e.u. caused these people problems in having standards in food , the environment, workers rights etc. now they can ditch them all, get more rich to the decrement to joe public. | |

But that's what I mean, even if it's all just a "for show" thing, why the hell would we pick fishing? If it was something to do with the services industry, it would at least make sense, but fishing is just such a bizarre thing to get hung up about. | |

Fishing has always had some weird symbolic significance that hugely outweighs its actual importance. No offence to people in the fishing industry hut its pretty small fry (zing!) in terms of our national GDP and in terms of the number of people it employs. However, as an island nation the idea of controlling our waters gets the Brexiteers and right-wingers as stiff as a board and so it's become an area where we can't be seen to back down. In its own way, state aid is just as weird a hill to die on. We spend proportionately less on state aid than the vast majority of EU nations, so why the need to give ourselves greater scope when we never come close to EU limits? State aid for business is pretty antithetical to the Tory party as well. Again, it just seems to be about some vague notion of sovereignty and taking back control rather than about any policy aim or sense of pragmatism. | |

I did see some story that the grand plan with the state aid was to try and pump money into the IT industry to create companies similar in size to Google, Amazon etc. Of course this was so hilariously misguided because taking us out of the EU would make the job of software developers much more difficult, not easier, however much money you throw at it. It was so bizarre I still can't believe it was true. | |

I was also reading the other day that even if we got the volume of waters back to fish in, we don't have enough fisherman to take up the slack, so we would then end up offering it back to the French. Madness. | |

Don't think that quite describes it - from what I read t'other day, most of the UK quota was bought up by only 6 UK families, who then sold out to various French & Dutch fishermen. | |

Well this is it. Some of the British fishing firms sold off their quota rights years ago, so fair bit of the complaining about Dutch vessels fishing 'our' waters and suchlike has been misguided as they have been there legitimately and have paid for it. I never have any problems buying fish when I want some but clearly we're missing something. [Post edited 16 Oct 2020 15:17]

They may try to slink into retirement on their yachts, tropical islands or wherever, but their reputation will be irreparably stained for eternity. What a legacy to leave your kids/grandkids/greats.
