Sheesh.
Yes. The Biased Broadcasting Company do themselves no favours do they?

The more they dig, the more they annoy the patriotic people of this land, and the more they increase the chances of losing their state financial support.

The corona crisis mimicks some effects of the brexit. Like in the link. It shows yellow hammer was correct after all. Read and tremble.

When it comes to COVID-19, Fishing is way, way down the list of priorities, Solasch, as is car parts and other nonsense from the Guardians "let's go back into the EU" stupidity.

The Guardians readership is about 100,000 people - nobody cares what's in it, and for good reason.

For a start, restaurants are closing in droves so nobody is buying fish anyway - like most perishable items sold in restaurants. I was bored after about 3 minutes of reading that article when you posted it yesterday, I certainly don't want to read it again.

I'm glad to see you understood the most important effect of a fish skirmish. The article just shows the effect when the EU closes the landing ports for british fishers. So full marks for your understanding.

Nobody is buying it anyway - your making this up again. Why do you think this has to do with Brexit and why would fish be sold to restaurants that are closed ???

Honestly .... get a grip for gods sake

I thought you had some understanding. Obviously not.

As usual you avoid answering the questions and resort to acting like a child by coming out with sentences like that ^^^

Re: The COVID19 Opportunity for the EU

I bought some lovely fresh locally caught fish today from "the fish man with the van" who comes to our town on Thursdays, but it certainly wasn't cheap!
Interesting article but I don't agree with some of what they say. Most of the salmon for instance in our local Sainsbury's is Scottish and our fish and chip shops use locally caught fish.

This will be a perfect opportunity for british people to show they support the fishers. Fish on the table five days a week.

And boris can show how important fisheries are to him in brexit talks. He now must save them quickly, otherwise he needn't negotiate about fishing rights at all.
