I guess, given enough time, we could develop new trade links and one day we might even trade with as many nations as we used to when we were in the EU but in the meantime we have a shit load of pissed off fishermen who were assured things would be so much better after Brexit.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Surely given a few centuries to mull it over, your people will rediscover the secrets of selling fish.

Be a few hours if you swam.
It's 14 miles away.

Fisherman: You could be eating sushi in 14 hours if we had to swim our catch France.
EU: Sorry, we're not gonna let that happen.

If only there had been someone warning of the dangers for the last 5 years.
Instead we had meaningless prattle like ''Brexit means Brexit'' and ''get Brexit done'' and zero planning for what might happen if a Brexit deal isn't quite so easy after all.

The buyers have just moved to new suppliers because there was so much red tape and delay caused by leaving the common market free trade zone.doc_loliday wrote: ↑Thu May 06, 2021 11:57 amFisherman: You could be eating sushi in 14 hours if we had to swim our catch France.

Well, if it's so easy, our fishmongers must be just not trying hard enough.
I guess they must just rather throw it away.
