Grimsby wants to have its fishcake and eat it!

[WTFH]

Thet want back a fair amount of what they pay London.

Will a ten and two fives do, or do they want 10x 2p?

[BrilloPad]

I want my money back I give to them.

I have criticized the Welsh many times on these boards. However they have a point about money.

A bit like Wales & the South West voted for Brexit, but still want their EU subsidies.

I did enjoy the film....

Yes but it was about elephants, not fish.

[WTFH]

So they voted for Brexit but don't want to suffer the consequences of not being in the Customs Union and the Single Market?

So what that's about is giving Grimsby "Free Port" status. A free port is an area excluded from custom and trade laws of the country that its in.

There are a lot of "Free Ports" ( sometimes called Special Economic Zones ) already in the world, including Liverpool & Southampton.

So it's not stupid, or turkeys voting for Xmas, but a practical step to give Grimsby an economic advantage.

Of course, the main advantage they will have is that they will actually have some fish to catch. Unlike the Danes.

That will work for IMPORTS, but not for EXPORTS.

I am sure other fishing towns who voted for Brexit will be very happy for EU imports to flow in easily via Grimsby.
