    It's a quote actually:

    New proposals from the EU to reach agreement in Brexit trade negotiations with the UK would be a “death knell” for the Irish fishing sector, an industry group has warned.


    The latest movement in the talks has seen EU negotiator Michel Barnier propose to hand back 25 per cent of the value of fish caught by EU boats in British waters to the UK, according to reports.


    Seán O’Donoghue, chief executive of Killybegs Fishermen’s Organisation, who represent Donegal fishermen, said the concession would be an “unmitigated disaster” for the Irish fishing industry.
    Previously the EU position had been an offer to hand back between 15 and 18 per cent of the value of fish caught by EU fleets in British waters to the UK.


    Speaking on Saturday, Mr O’Donoghue, head of the major industry group, said the fishing sector had been “thrown under the bus” in the talks.


    The Irish fishing industry would be hit hardest by the proposed deal of all the EU Member States, he said. “We are being the sacrificial lamb of the trade negotiations . . . This is akin to no-deal for us” he said.


    The reported concessions to hand back 25 per cent “absolutely” gave too much to the UK side, he said.

    Brexit fishing deal proposal would be ‘death knell’ for Irish industry

    Possibly the dimmest person currently posting.

    Not for nothing these neanderthal ex-squaddies and hod carriers choose to live among savages in the nether reaches of third world obscurity.

    England is now the bargain basement trash heap of the tenth rate and when Ł falls below the Euro it will be the happy hunting ground for the EU searching for a scummy working underclass to replace the Turks and Pole/Slovak fraternity.

    Har, har.

    Barnier hasn't even got the European fisheries alliance onboard with his proposals, they are jumping up and down telling the EU they are wrong.

    I think you may find its a foregone conclusion, the amount of investment that the UK has been investing in India, and vice versa over the last two years. and co-operation in financial services etc.

    Its a done deal.

    What do the Irish expect? Self determination of the right to fish in their own waters? The freedom to negotiate their own economic rights, independently?
    Why it almost seems to like another member state would prefer the rights of a sovereign nation, over the collective bargaining rights of an unelected civil servant, working for the European Union. The paddy has been shafted by the EU, not for the first time.
    No way would the EU attempt anything like this that might upset the French.

    What utter shite. A fucking maverick, rogue proto-coon state joins a socio-economic association and after 47 years in which it participated in shaping its laws and culture and abiding by fishing practices that have been observed in one form or other for over a millennium, decides to leave and unilaterally imposes a 200 mile exclusion zone to fuck over its neighbours in the name of some filthy notion of a perverted nationalism garbed in a spurious sovereignty, a concept most English trash can't even spell.

    Anyway, none of this is operable in any meaningful way, and everyone knows that whatever the fat lying BoJo agrees to he will renege on anyway at some future date so in reality little will be resolved.

    But to say the EU in attempting to concede an agreement that breaks a deadlock is fucking over a minnow state is simply fucking stupid but in your case Chas that is scarcely a surprise given your raddled prune-sized brain.

    The concession in fact applies to all erstwhile signatories to the London Agreement 1964, not just the Irish, but the UK in seeking to impose its filthy nationalism is looking to fuck up the Irish by blackmailing them into giving in on fish in order to spare the Irish economy elsewhere.

    But it isn't working, Barnier has articulated the EU's joint opinion and told the fat lying bastard BoJo Bozo to fuck right off.

    By the way, you stupid old fuck, just who the fuck elected Frost, the so-called Brit negotiator? He's an unelected civil servant too, you gormless pillock.

    Why, oh why, are Brexiters so fucking universally dumb?

    Anyway, its looking like WTO for the UK and that means it becomes officially a banana republic on 1.1.21 and with a coon currency that is already sliding back down.

    England is fucked royally by a cod Churchill.

    Taking back control!

    Leave would win again if Brexit referendum was rerun, shock new poll reveals

    Nigel Nelson 1 day ago






    Leave would win again if Brexit referendum was rerun, shock new poll reveals





    Leave would win again if the Brexit vote were rerun, despite fears over the economic carnage leaving the EU will cause.

    A Sunday Mirror poll found eight in ten voters have not changed their minds since the 2016 referendum.

    Four years ago 52 per cent voted to leave, with 48 per cent for remaining.

    Now 50.4 per cent want out, with 49.6 per cent wishing to stay, just scraping a victory for the leavers.

    So, a poll of 2000 held online revealed those among the 52% fuckwits who voted to leave are still fuckwitted.

    Fucking shock-horror news there.

    The Irish will bow down before their EU masters, because they come from isolated, thick as fuck stock exactly like the Pattaya Penis.
    Not that it matters of course. They seem to have underestimated the UKs ref lines, and re-assumed the smug, self satisfied unity of every member nation except those who have a coastline, and enjoy a bit of fishing.
    The industry is actually worth very little to the UK, but Macrons shelf life depends on it, so as a bargaining tool, it’s fairly effective in splitting the one size fits all euromachine.
    Deal or not, WTO or not, it’s worth escaping a group whose population grows or shrinks, depending on the narrative expounded. A bit like the FX estimates change in the same simpletons mind.

    Whatever the outcome, there will be short term pain and misery on both sides. Get over it, and move on please. The remain camp has managed to drag this unseemly spectacle on for over 4 years. One hopes this next few days will see it finished once and for all.

    Pontious Pattaya can then stop pontificating hopefully.

    You still do not seem to u nderstand what will happen.
    If there is no deal the EU out of humanitarian charity will grant a further six months for negotiation on matters that will continue to affect millions of Brits e.g travel, health and financial services for expats etc and if the ERG nutters still fuck up then that's that, you is fucked.

    From 2021 all Brits will require ETIAS clearance before travelling to an EU destination and no Brit will be permitted more than 90 days stay in any 180 days as a visitor - those who may wish to retire, study or work will need a visa for the purpose.

    British agriculture will change radically and unless uplands livestock farmers are to be subsidised mightily, over Ł4 billions worth of GDP and 25,000 workers will be jeopardised because their access to markets will effectively be reduced making them unviable.

    Airbus, Nissan, Toyota, BMW, PSA will quit under a WTO exit making up to 250,000 jobless in sectors that cannot offer alternative employment.

    Inflation in food prices will result in increases of 25%

    But stagflation will become a feature and when the Tories try to fix the Ł1 trillion deficit taxes will add to the increasing burdens.

    And your currency will be anchored at its increasing devalued level for another decade.

    It's just beginning you oaf, and there is no walking away from it, you can't escape death and that is what Brxit means to the economic future for millions.

    You Brexit whack jobs are simply too stupid to know when you have fallen off a cliff.
