If the UK sells the fishing licences to foreigners, why does it suddenly matter what area those foreigners are from?

The UK does not SELL fishing licences it issues them with the understanding the fishermen will fish sustainably. The recipients may sell them to a suitable buyer who obeys the rules.

The French do not like the UK not issuing licences when they can't fill in the form properly.

The many EU buyers & recipients seem unable to obey the stockholding rules.

Well you see how well the EU understands things like fishing licences. Soon they will be setting fire to Leprechauns!

You mean "It isn't done while the UK haven't come up with any solutions for Northern Ireland, but don't want the one they agreed with the EU or any other suggestions the EU makes"

It isn't "done" while the ECJ have a role in arbitrating trade disputes in Northern Ireland!

Don't know if you've noticed but Brexit is done and dusted and the UK is coming to terms with the changes. There are several rather more significant things to worry about now

In other news the Hundred Years War has ended...

Bloody hell, really? I was hoping to join up for a chance of some burning and looting in France!

the resignation of one of the few ministers who have even a shred of integrity

You mean the guy who was against Brexit and then became pro-Brexit, negotiated agreement with EU and then tried to reneg on it within some months?

[TwoWolves]

It doesn't matter what you think of Brexit, the resignation of one of the few ministers who have even a shred of integrity is pretty depressing. Look at his reasons, they are pretty sound.

[AtW]

So the Foreign Secretary will have time for this?

Sounds like a deliberate degradation in status of negotiation

Oh so true..

Hopefully we will export CHEESE

[malvolio]

No, that's exactly Brexit, which is a tulipty journey for decades to come, not a point in time that is past us.

Well, if you insist, let's not argue semantics.

Although the OED agrees with me...

[AtW]

That's not Brexit, that's a post-Brexit trade discussion with the EU. Do try and keep up.
