You voted for it so man up 😂😂😂

ELarrissy And so it starts. How long before all the other realities sink in? Not long me thinks.

I think that should read ‘Johnson sacrificed Britain in order to get the pretence of a Deal.’

The fishermen will be fine, they voted for Brexit

Hàd to conjure up a bargaining chip, what else did he have, Always bigging it up to give the impression he was a hard negotiator, but it was always a sacrificial lamb. Given the gigantic difference in value, no deal for fish, he would have been crucified.

You mean Boris lied to you? Well that’s a first! Oh no wait, no it isn’t.

BorisJohnson has acted like a pimp

The fishing industry should provide our economy with the types of returns that the financial services economy does then.

Am I right that there was a BBC Scotland piece about 6 months ago? Said brexit deal would not go as far as Scots fishermen wanted. Think I was Dougie the ref that they pushed out to placate them Jimmy Buchan knew that they were going to be sold out a long time ago

cleggy261 History will confirm that the conservatives always sacrifice fishing.

So they’ll be saying no to the millions on offer to help them scale up?

They mean he didn't screw over the rest of the country for one industry makes up less than 1% of our GDP & brings in a few millions.

Indyref for Cornwall. People were used as pawns by the Conservatives

I think these fishermen forget how much of their fish are bought by EU customers - no deal would have been terrible for them even if they chose not to accept that - and ultimately a price was always going to be paid.

Is be an easy one this one . I think this was the main reason why most of citizens want to leave . I believe.

Not really ScumMedia we have given the EU five years to prepare and five years for our under powered fishing fleets to grow. We don’t want our European allies to be ruined! And we have started the ban on supertrawlers also we get 25% of the EU catch! Win win 🤷‍♂️

SkyNews BBCNews itvnews Don't think some ppl in this country realises what awaits us with our self inflicted Brexit. We would be competing with the US, China, Asiatic countries et al. This is not 1910! Even b4 Brexit most of Britain's brands went to the highest bidder anyway.

Two blokes fishing off the beach don’t count! 🙄

The Scottish Trawlermans Federation has always supported the Tories. F**k them.

Anyone surprised?

We do pass on the exquisite cuisine that is Fish & Chips, thanks.

Nah ...besides 0.12% of the Economy. They'll be looked after.

I’m sorry but the fact they are surprised he did that is worrying

What fishing industry?
