They can suggest what they want. The answer is a simple NO.

I thought we would be free to do what we wanted. Obviously not! You don't know what you're doing you don't know what you're doing BorisJohnson

Sound good sheryllmurray all your unicorns coming home to roost?

Hang on I thought we were taking back control 🤔 not giving it away again well done fisher men in Scotland you now get what you deserved

A terrible deal, fishing produces real capital for the nation over time that will improve our average real wage. Financial services only benefit an elite few who can easily move to other countries with their capital if they ever choose to. We should be planning on a no deal exit.

Queue much frothing regarding getting our fish back...

Why vote to leave and let the Frogs steal our fish It's dead simple now we r out Nothing u threaten us with matters

What fishing rights UK have nothing to sell. Actually UK has to apply to France to put boat in French waters. What next spam for fromage?

A whale of a plan

Or...sprat to catch a mackerel, even. But I’d hate to lose my sprats.

Oh yes - a turbot-charged trade deal...

So we’ll sacrifice our fishing industry in order to keep the bankers, investors and hedge fund managers happy?

Humm let's think about that?
