[Politics] Brexit

[Thunder Bolt]

Nor is there anything to say that without a deal, UK fisherman wouldn't be able to fish in EU waters. As a general rule, countries own the fishing rights in their own national waters unless they have agreed otherwise. Youmight not remember the so-called Cod War with Iceland, or the spat about the UK claiming Rockall as UK territory thus extending the UK fishing zone, but they did happen; and the reason they happened was because ownership of national waters conferred the fishing rights over those waters.

International fishermen are not allowed to fish in UK waters unless the UK allows them to, just as UK fishermen can't fish in EU or Norwegian or Icelandic waters unless the EU or Norway or Iceland allows them to.

Which is why the deal was extended until 2038. Btw coastal waters are only 12 miles, and then become international waters.

I suppose if you shout "Putin, Putin, Putin" often enough it negates the need to prove anything. Putin doesn't fund Reform and Farage doesn't like Putin.

Until this week, the entire fish stocks and fish conservation control over UK waters in 2026 and beyond would belong to the UK. Now it doesn't. Can you not see the difference?

I’ll ask again what is wrong with the new ’ fishing deal’ as not even fisherman are sure? Nowhere doesn’t say we have given up ownership of UK waters. Secondly both parties still have to agree a follow on deal.

Farage likes him, he thinks putin is a strongman and very misunderstood by the West, which isn’t surprising when Farage worked on the Russian equivalent of the BBC, he used it for anti GB/EU rhetoric whilst an MEP. No one goes on Russian TV without Putin’s approval. it’ll be interesting to see what happens with Nathan Gill’s court case.

Farage, quoted by the BBC last year, when asked about comments he made in 2014:

I said I disliked him as a person, but I admired him as a political operator because he's managed to take control of running Russia

By his own words, he admires a man who retains power by having his political opponents murdered.
