FISHERMEN across Britain are woefully unprepared to seize the increased quota after the Brexit transition period has ended, the Scottish Tory leader has proclaimed in comments likely to infuriate leading figures in the industry.

Douglas Ross said work needed to be done to equip the fishing sector for the post-Brexit reality of ridding itself of the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy . He claimed the industry lacked the “capacity” to make use of its newfound freedom, which is set to be handed to it in less than three months.His remarks come after it emerged the Government had tabled a proposal for a three-year transition period for fisheries, in a bid to break the deadlock blighting trade talks with the bloc.

Probably cannot raise the money to buy back the quotas they sold to the Spanish, French and Dutch.

Don't suppose it'll do the fish any harm. Leave them alone for a few years.

More quotas to sell. Win, win

Then fish stocks will have ample time to replenish until they are.
