This will really hurt the 17 company’s (most non Uk) that currently own the uk fishing rightsOriginally posted by TestMangler View PostExcept we wont. Brexit will end the UK fishing industry if there isn't completely tariff and NTB free access to EU markets for UK fishermen. They, like farmers, can't see past the end of their own noses.

What you probably don't know about though is the 1000's of small operators that export high value stuff exclusively to the EU. If they lose that market, they are bolloxed.Originally posted by GhostofTarbera View PostThis will really hurt the 17 company’s (most non Uk) that currently own the uk fishing rights

These 17 companies do own a disproportionate percentage (because it was sold to them by licence holders) but they don't represent the entire fleet.When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Where did you get the information about " 1000's of small operators that export high value stuff exclusively to the EU".Originally posted by TestMangler View PostWhat you probably don't know about though is the 1000's of small operators that export high value stuff exclusively to the EU.

Currently there are just about 4,000 working fishing vassals in the UK. Are you trying to deduce that each fishing boat is a separate export business? If you look at Billingsgate Fish Market, you will find about 20 fish wholesalers; those same wholesalers have branches around the fishing ports of the UK. The number of fish exports around the UK would logically only amount to a few tens at the maximum and in fact it is probably less than ten. So where did you get 1000's of high value exporters from?"A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
