Don't know if these businessmen are necessarily Brexiters, but this is what the EU state aid rules (under which Britain's done well) stopped happening.

How would the EU react to a policy like this?

Fishing stories from Hull no longer discussed beyond the Yorkshire Post.

Yorkshire’s last distant-water fishery has been scuppered after the Government ended talks with Norway on Thursday without a deal in what has been described as a “very black day for Britain”.

The failure to land a deal allowing the UK to fish in Norwegian sub-Arctic waters means the crew of the £52m Kirkella, which lands into Hull, has no work.

Ricky Campbell, deckhand, who has worked for three years on the Kirkella: “In consequence, there will be no British-caught Arctic cod sold through chippies for our national dish – it will all be imported from the Norwegians, who will continue to sell their fish products to the UK tariff-free while we are excluded from these waters.

"Quite simply, this is a disgrace and a national embarrassment.” https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/pe ... ay-3219797

Fishwife June on James O’Brien to blame everyone but herself for the fishing industry going tits up. Its a grand opera of stupidity.

It's worth a watch.

Yeah. There was never an IRA threat here. Possibly a few dissidents, but for the most part the commentary from Nationalists and Republicans was that it was an act of self-laceration from Britain and it would be destructive socially and economically to reinstate a hard border. Sinn Féin weren't going to interrupt Britain whilst they aimed carefully at both feet

Specific threats are coming from somewhere over how this worked out, though Kate is doing her level best to ignore that.

Conciliatory noise.

The Tories don't give a fuck about NI because they don't have to any more. This is merely a prelude to ignoring Unionist bellyaching and a set up for saying EUdidit.

You don't need much political acumen to know they'll sell their grannies, their mistresses grannies and their servants grannies for power. They mystery is why the minor parties they use still haven't cottoned onto it yet.
