benson It’s an absolute shit show. Seemed to be a fatal crash every other week when I used it.

This fishing rights issue is proving to be a right hot potato! Surely there are bigger issues than landing a few kippers and have we not fished the north sea to death by now?

What happens when there is ‘No Deal’? Do the EU lose all rights to British waters?

    Hursty If there is a genuine no deal, each country’s territorial waters extend 12 nautical miles (22 km) beyond the coast, and an exclusive economic zone which I think can extend to about 200 miles if there’s no other land in the way. That is totally Britain’s by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, as far as I know, and Britain can then escort out any cunt they don’t want fishing in there.

    The EU want Britain to trade away fishing rights in that EEZ for things like access to the EU single market.

    In the case of something like the Channel, it’s split down the middle with the neighbour (France in this case).

      Fishing is about 0.01% of GDP or something. Just behind metal door frames and novelty anal beads and suchlike. A literal red herring.

        bosstrabs Didn’t someone say that the reason we don’t have control over our fishing areas is because we sold them to other countries whilst we where part of Europe? So, the whole time we where in Europe, we still had the option to tell everyone to fuck off out of there, but we had in fact done a deal with everyone letting them fish our shores? Essentially we are now just trying to extricate ourselves from these historical deals?

        Millsy novelty anal beads

        Novelty ones, over more professional ones that are designed for serious use?

          Amps It’s like the horror of buying B&Qs own when you should have gotten Festool.

            You take your life in your hands when using novelty beads. But Christ what a rush.

            Lol, a cunt for sure. Absolutely ruthless as a CinC though from what I’ve heard.

              The death of the American Wasp Dynasty. No POTUS/PM tandem will reach the heights of T Bizzle and W.
