independent.co.ukIs that not exactly what they wanted? I really don't get it.

They expected and still expect a deal without any downsides, only upsides. Anybody halfway decent can achieve that with a bit of negotiation as they hold all the cards. The search for those famous cards continues in denial land.

The British fishing industry was supposed to be the big winner from Brexit - remember Farage's Flotilla on the Thames just before the vote?
If they're not happy with Brexit now, then who exactly is?!

Farage?

"It should never have been signed in the first place" - Farage on the Brexit Withdrawal Agreement, October 2020.
He doesn't seem to be very happy on his new TV show these days!

Wait a minute ... it is something shady in all off this
Let me understand, when UK was in the EU, because of not being enough fish just for the UK, the local fishing communities were full of unemployed fishers.
Now when EU still fishing in UK waters and when there are problems with the exports they are complaining about lack of workers.
So where are all those unemployed fishers from the dying fishing communities?

That was a long time ago. Those people weren't just sitting around with no job all that time.

You can’t give what you don’t have.

He doesn’t do politics, or policy, or planning. He does power.

Too busy making kids he won't remember the names of in a year.

TBH they should be down at the ports offering free HGV lessons and test.
There is a lot of experience that could be reskilled quickly

The fish will be even happier
That reminds me, what has happened to Jacob Rees Moggs? [I live in Australia...] Has some-one stuffed his mouth full of fish, or has he been given concrete shoes to "go and live with the fish"..?
He's doing swimmingly, as he moved his own business out of the UK before brexit.
He didn’t have to move his money or pay tax on it though. That’s still multiplying in the dark somewhere where it can’t be traced, thanks to brexit.
And the British accept this???? You are very forgiving.
He called people who died in a fire stupid for not just leaving and the government seems to be keeping him hidden since then.
They're keeping him out of the spotlight because he's too posh and he annoys the working class. He named his sixth child Sextus after the old Roman tradition.
That or they're planning ahead for the next leadership election when Boris' incompetence is overwhelming. At some point they're going to shift all the blame onto Boris and put up a different lunatic as the leader (my money is in Rory Stewart) so they can keep embezzling money for a few more years.
OK... so they have him caged, and chained down in their dungeon so he does not scare the kiddies!! With his black top hat, he reminds me of Child Catcher employed by Baron Bomburst and Baroness Bomburst in Chitty, Chitty, Bang Bang ! I bet Robert Helpman would be pissed that some real person topped his character........
He's still around they've just toned down his eccentric activities that get him press attention and/or given a nudge to the press not to feature him too heavily.
He did read out a speech in Latin recently in parliament and played some trite song on his phone. I don't think it was as on the nose as Rule Britannia but it was about taking back control of fishing waters. He played it to show how proud he was of the great work brexit was doing to our country.
