If anyone had told me all those years ago that the industry which

Brexit perhaps more than any other would be one of the first to start

Is the moaning just as loud from those fishermen who sold their quotas
to
foreign firms?

Just read a minister saying the answer was for us to eat more fishery
products. Now I know what they really meant by getting back control.
Telling us what we have to eat.


Is that the Fisheries Minister who was too busy to read the Brexit Deal
because she was organising a nativity trail?

She seems to have a balanced work - life ethic. If I was PM I wouldn't
expect her read the document on Christmas Eve either, nor would I expect
a Civil Servant to brief her on the same day.

If he were not going to expect that, he should not have left so little
time between getting a deal and ending the transition period.

He left a full year and Barnier just stonewalled for that year.

As it was, his obstinacy in sticking to a rigid timetable

Because it was obvious that Barnier just wanted
to let it drag on forever. It has already been years.

put an obligation on his Ministers to check the deal in detail as soon as
they got it.

Bull**** when it was obvious that it was that or WTO rules.
