The meeting takes place in June, preliminary talks have taken place where the future of fishing amongst other thing was discussed. Currently nothing has changed. The RWNJ's youtube piece was b0ll0x.

 

Nothing has changed because a) we are still in transition b) we told the EU we won't negotiate away our fishing sovereignty.

We will no longer have to import fish caught in English waters but obviously we will still have to import stuff like tuna that refuses to swim by these shores. We will also have more to export which means more cash going into English tills. Kerching!

You didn’t read the article did you?

He definitely didn't read the article, and he obviously knows nothing at all about the British fishing industry - maybe he doesn't even like fish and chips (strange I know but then ...........) otherwise you'd think he'd at least know where most of them are caught!

And here is a second one - it concedes that under a hard Brexit our British boats would catch more fish, the only problem is that it's fish we don't eat and the price of the fish that we do eat would go up.... but then again the analysis is done by a Dutch group so obviously biased against the U.K. :classic_angry:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/apr/24/hard-brexit-would-mean-more-and-cheaper-british-fish-but-theres-a-catch

The increased fish caught in UK waters by UK boats in the hard Brexit scenario would be species such as blue whiting, herring and sand eels, Beukers-Stewart said: “There is not a huge appetite for these in the UK, to put it mildly.”

Now if you would like to look at something different and if you care about the environment I suggest you watch the new documentary by Michael Moore 

It certainly is an eye opener 

Edit @Van wink you'll find this interesting

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/bill-mckibben-climate-movement-michael-moore-993073/

It turns out that pretty much everything else about the movie was wrong — there have been at least 24 debunkings, many of them painfully rigorous; as one scientist wrote in a particularly scathing takedown, “Planet of the Humans is deeply useless. Watch anything else.” Moore’s fellow filmmaker Josh Fox, in an epic unraveling of the film’s endless lies, got in one of the best shots: “Releasing this on the eve of Earth Day’s 50th anniversary is like Bernie Sanders endorsing Donald Trump while chugging hydroxychloroquine.”

I see Arron Banks spanked the Electoral Commission last week 😀👍

https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/media-centre/joint-announcement-electoral-commission-mr-robert-posner-mr-arron-banks-and-ms-elizabeth-bilney

The Electoral Commission, its Chief Executive Mr Robert Posner, Mr Arron Banks and Ms Elizabeth Bilney wish to announce that they have agreed amicable terms of settlement of a complaint raised by Mr Banks and Ms Bilney over the Electoral Commission's announcement on 1 November 2018 of its referral of Mr Banks and Ms Bilney to the National Crime Agency for further investigation over possible electoral offences in connection with the UK's 2016 EU membership referendum.

Poor Jools, not an auspicious return confusing 'spanked' with 'amicable'. 🤣

Yeah, like the EC really got the result they were hoping for 🤣

You're as deluded as them.

If anyone has any spare cash they should put it on the UK crashing out of transition on December 31 without a trade deal. The odds are not brilliant, at 4/7, but they will only be going one way.

Why can't you understand that the negotiations will take place in June, until then nothing has changed.

Your RWNJ can say anything he likes but no negotiations have taken place.

 

How come this is ALL up to date news ?  we've all ready heard that we have upset the EU by not extending the time it takes to do the talks

What you've heard is just a load of b0ll0x, it's just that you're gullible enough to believe it.

The negotiations take place in June.

On the contrary. I heard that Ms. Bilney rather enjoyed the spanking. :classic_blush:

If you ever want to to sure that you know what's going on all you have to do is to get RTB, Swindo & Jools to disagree with you. 🤣

Who'd have thought me and Swindon would both agree with your statement?? Only one of us thinks it is a sensible idea, to put it mildly.

A great polemic.

"I am not asking you to like the Conservative politicians Johnson pushed aside, only to accept that the emergency demands the services of ministers who know how government works. Instead, we have a dilettante PM, a cabinet of nobodies and a civil service policed by Vote Leave propagandists, who can fool the country in a referendum but have no idea how to manage it in a crisis. An administration of all the sycophants rather than all the talents."

Dear old Captain Pugwash, the hero of the Seven Seas! The UK is refusing to allow the EU to have an office in Belfast for the purpose of monitoring the trade border in the Irish Sea. Hard to see a reason for that refusal other than the obvious one that Johnson is going to renege on the Irish Sea border agreement. Who'd have thought it, eh?! But if so then the chances of the overall trade talks collapsing are sky-high.

I have read similar things. Stuff that was promised is now "not known about", other stuff in the WA being ignored, necessary stuff to be in place not even being worked on etc etc. Likely to be more Brexitty bluff and posturing but the EU members now have bigger things to worry about and may now just see us as a nuisance and call said bluff.

Top tip. Stock up on toilet paper. 80% of it is imported.
