British boats won't be able to go out anyway: Government ignores its own experts to sever fishing industry lifeline | Free Movement

You've got a nerve. It's Dutch boats which cause the most problems. UK boats abide by those EU rules, which is why a huge percentage gets thrown overboard. I've never heard of an instance of EU boats abiding by those same rules.

You've never heard of it because you never read anything else but the Daily Mail.

It's up to the UK to enforce the EU rules in British waters. In effect what you're saying is the UK isn't abiding by the rules.

There are currently EU rules against overfishing in place, which will disappear in a no deal scenario where the UK fisherpeople will empty the UK's waters without being held back by any limits and rules about type of fishing techniques and nets etc, creating a desert in the UK's part of the North Sea

not without boats they won't

Just had a read of the Bill. A lot more red tape involved with fishing, the fishermen will need to take a lawyer with them on their fishing trips.

And who are they going to sell the fish to?

Catfood factories I suppose as the average Brexidiot doesn't eat any fish except for a fat, thickly battered undefinable type of fish with their chips

Yeah, right.

You're entitled to your opinion (the joke is appreciated, btw) but it's not as if we have (or rather, had) a reciprocal arrangement with French vineyards! And it's not as if there isn't a sound ecological reason to curb EU over-fishing in waters over which the UK ought to have some control. The EU can't enforce their own rules - it really is putting lunatics in charge of the asylum, and also in charge of those who are in charge of those who are in charge of the asylum.

EU plays hard ball

The UK will keep its cool and in the last minute the EU will cave.

Or they won't cave and it will just go to show why the UK is better off outside the EU.
