[Merged]Brexit stuff

How many fishermen are there?

12,000. Interestingly the UK has only 13% of the whole sea area of the EU but is allocated 30% of the EU quota, so it is more likely that the UK's fishing industry will shrink. It will shrink even faster when the UK fishing lobby get rid of quotas.

The sooner we get our territorial waters back the better. Hopefully it will breath new life into our fishing communities.

I just hope the government doesn't sell the fishing industry down the river again during the political horse trading....

What are we going to patrol them with? You think the RAF are going to fly round the coast to protect your fish-supper?

The fishermen are living in dream land.

That fishing area is so fanciful they may as well extended the area to the Falkland Islands and included the North and South Atlantic

Which bit of 'we're not starting until we're ready' don't some of you get? Or the bit about 'not this year'? Are you back to miserable posts claiming that nothing's happening because we haven't given notice? We're winding the EU up which is worth the wait in itself.

These arguments are too easy to discredit.

Everyday that passes where nothing is said harm is done. But the truth is not strategy is coming forward because one does not exist. MP's should get a vote asap and annul Brexit so we can get on with our lives.

In good news, and the benefit of the weaker pound, 20bn export boost.

And when those manufactures can no longer afford to import raw material with the weaker pound, what then?

The Icelanders may have something to say about it as well. But probably most people here are too young to remember the Cod War.

Prices go up, the £ in your pocket can't buy quite as much as it used to. Company's on the edge fail, economy stagnates, everyone dies a meaningless and horrible death and turn into zombies that incorporate the rest of Europe into the New Zombie British Empire.

So desperate are the remoaners to protect the integrity of their glorious European Union that they will beg for the imminent collapse of everything in the UK. A bit like the Vichy government in france that accepted and supported the rule of the nazis and the various governments of the Soviet Block. Only it seems that people are perfectly able to change for the better.

Their heart has never been in the UK. Patently obvious from their potifications from the Continent.

Don't importers with large foreign currency exposures, such as those that import base materials from overseas - don't they hedge their exchange rate risk with forward contracts? Do you think they turn up at the post office the day before payment with a bunch of fifty pound notes to exchange for euros?

Um, no.

Until we've left, we have all the benefits and obligations of membership.

Aside from the fact it was not a serious suggestion we stay in limbo for decades... Legally but who's going to enforce it? We can do what we please, it's not worth anyone's time as we'd be out by the time it rolled through the courts.

How many fishermen are there?

Is this one of of those Google interview questions?
