We could cut VAT by a quarter tomorrow under EU rules and always could. It’s another Red Herring.

Read the link I’ve provided twice now. Look for yourself to find out where we import Cod from and how. I’ve given the figures already but please feel free to fact check them. If you look for the details the more obvious it is that the lie that you’ve clearly bought wholesale is a lie. Do...

The Cod Wars. I’ve already told you.

90% of Cod eaten in the U.K. comes from Norway, Iceland and Russia. Leaving the EU is going to make very little difference to the U.K. Cod fleet. Most North Sea Cod isn’t available to the U.K. fleet in or out of the EU. “Fish don’t pay attention to borders” quoting the article I linked earlier...

Try reading this link Ukip is wrong: British fishing answers to Westminster not Brussels | John Lichfield It’s very revealing and educational. Education you severely need.

Do you think we’ve always fished shellfish or it’s been forced upon us by the EU? I’ll give you a clue. We’ve always fished for shellfish. It’s a completely different process. Cod fishermen didn’t all of a sudden become shellfishermen. Did you read up on the Cod wars? It seems to me you believe...

Ukip is wrong: British fishing answers to Westminster not Brussels | John Lichfield Interesting article from someone who understands it very well and been involved in it for decades. Through the Cod wars and the birth of the CFP. Again shows a leave lie.

The EU’s tastes are more varied than ours. They’ll just change their eating habits if they have to. Plus as already pointed out most of the fish we supply the EU is processed and a lot of the whole fish for processing comes from Norway. What makes you think that Norway won’t just sell more fish...

Because as the article points out fishing rights are being used as a bargaining chip and that was only ever going to be the case. The article is pretty clear about that.

Mmm. OK. Who are we going to sell all these extra fish that all these extra fleets are going to catch to exactly? Every new car I’ve ever bought has been either from a U.K. manufacturer or made in the U.K. it doesn’t take brexit to make this remainer loyal to U.K. jobs. I stopped buying HP...

Ha ha ha. Classic.

We catch shellfish because our seas have an abundance of them and the EU is a very profitable market. Are you suggesting that the fishermen catching shellfish (completely different process to catching Cod) are going to stop and change to Cod fishing once we leave the EU? The shellfish fishing...

Have you ever heard of the cod wars? Look it up. It will tell that our favourite fish are not always caught in our own waters by our own boats.

Salmon isn’t it? From fish farming, or is it just the fastest growing? Can’t quite remember to be honest.

Of course they’ll buy from us. If the price is right. If a tariff is added to the price it won’t be right so who’s going to take the hit on it? The EU consumer with their choice to buy something else that doesn’t include a tariff (I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the EU don’t seem to be as...

He didn’t even bother turning up did he?

You do realise that the article you have linked just confirms that fishing rights was just another leave lie? You only have to look at Norway or Iceland to see that fishing rights was always going to be used as a bargaining chip in brexit negotiations.

They also wouldn’t get their processed fish from us, which is a bigger industry in the U.K. than fishing itself. How do you intend to replace the jobs in that industry if they lose free access to their biggest market? Holland and Denmark are salivating at the prospect of this happening.

The Junker critics will have a meltdown if this happens. Or maybe not. Cough cough hypocrites cough cough ;)

Not just for U.K. tastes, for processing also. The U.K. has become one of the major centres in the EU for fish processing. If tariffs are applied to those fish as the come in and then go out again the issues for the fish processing industry in the U.K. are obvious. We’re also a major exporter of...
