Why UK Fishermen Feel Betrayed By Brexit 

Oh you joker you

Hahahahaha 😂

Chortle!

faces

OTHER people's faces! 🐆 Not good old English faces! Foreign faces are ok. 👳👤

Not realy It was Just pure greed they would Listen to anyone promising the removal of fishing quotas

If we’d have listened to the others we would still be in Europe...thank god we listened to the guys that delivered a brexit blue passport and a driving licence without the silly stars..I know it upsets you..but get over it you lost..

People still listen them.

Sounds or not, it is the naked reality. Problems?

Hahahaha

HE BETRAYED US BY DOING EXACTLY WHAT EVERYONE TOLD US HE WOULD.

Or like a quote from men in black ;)

Adam Mahiou Che yes ..as they almost said to remainers "you won get over it"

But this WASN'T what they voted for. They thought their waters would be theirs. This isn't what had happened. Brexit is even more of a disaster then people against it all thought!

@@clarissagafoor5222 then they shouldnt have voted for the unknown. They voted for a fantasy, just because you voted for something doesnt make it true

No sympathy for idiots who vote against themselves. This is what Xenophobia gets you!

@@clarissagafoor5222 actually britain gained some % of the fishing quotas the Problem is Nobody can use those because its Impossible to sell those Fish so they sell the quotas to eu

It was probably very good for the UK fishermen that he did not attend the meetings more often.

@@herosstratos And was well paid

Is that true?

@@lolazal1 yes, and i remember that one time he attended is to vote for giving pay rise to himself and other members, you just couldnt make it up

Cause they were worthless af like that optional after school club

This is not real. In the mean time, the international law has changed. The extent it is up to 200 miles, if possible. Why not for Britain too?

@@strobo24 Leaving the EU will not let the UK regain its fishing waters, it will allow it to have exclusive rights to areas of sea that it has never had before. In fact successive UK Governments have gone to some lengths to prevent the extension of fishing limits. In the 1930's the Norwegians declared a 4 mile fishing limit and some UK trawlers were arrested for fishing within this limit and the UK took the case to the International Court of Justice. The court found for the Norwegians who argued for the primacy of local interests. The UK was eventually forced to concede the 4 mile limit after an Icelandic claim of a 4 mile fishing limit was upheld by the OECD in 1956. By 1958 various nations, including Iceland, were claiming fishing waters out to 12 miles. The UK did not recognise these claims and this led to the first 'Cod War' with Iceland. Subsequent to a UN Conference on the Law of The Sea the UK agreed to the 12 mile limit. The London Fisheries Convention drawn up by the UK government in 1964 allowed signatories of the convention to fish between the 12 mile and 6 mile limit of each other's fishing waters. In 1972 Iceland declared a 50 mile limit leading to the second 'Cod War' between The UK and Iceland. The US helped resolve this dispute, which allowed a limited number of UK trawlers to fish within the Icelandic 12 mile limit for the next two years. The UK joined what is now the EU in 1973. At the time the UK and the EU only recognised a 12 nautical mile fishing limit. In 1975 Iceland declared a 200 mile limit. The UK did not recognise this claim and had their third 'Cod War' with Iceland as a result of the dispute. At this time Russian and Polish fish processing ships, with their attendant fleets of trawlers, were a regular sight in the English Channel and the North and Irish Seas. By the end of 1976 the UK conceded the 200 mile Icelandic limit which effectively ended UK long distance fishing. The EU, including the The UK, extended its fishing limits from 12 nautical miles out to 200 nautical miles from the coast in 1977 subsequent to the adoption of such a limit by a United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea. This finally brought to an end the over fishing of what were now EU waters by the Russians and Poles. In anticipation of leaving the EU the UK gave notice that it will withdraw from the 1964 London Fisheries Convention. Now the UK has left the EU, it will, for the first time in its history, have exclusive access to half way across the Irish Sea, the English Channel and the North Sea. It will also have exclusive rights to extensive fishing grounds to the north and west of Scotland, but actually to a smaller area than UK fishermen currently have access to, which is right up to EU coastal states 12 mile limits, closer in many cases and would have had right up to the coast of any EU state by 2022. So now UK fishermen could potentially have access to waters that they have never had exclusive access to before but only to a smaller sea area than before. Of course the UK government has agreed that EU fishing fleets can have access to these waters because they had to.

@@simonjohn9525 I think people are seeing this advantage as a hidden problem. And to some extent this is normal and inerent. As I've worked with technical service on fishing boats in Norway, I think I understand some of the situation. First, the unexploited waters are more productive and less expensive. Also, you have the freedom to preserve your own assets without arbitrary intervention from a corrupted EU. Second,... finally UK can go back to traditional exploitation of the catch. People have to start feeding with healthy plain fish, instead of highly industrialised fish proteines, supplied in to a pork/lamb/cow Industrial farming... that at the end of the day are distructive for every one. For me, the fishing industry shall be no more and no les then a food sector and a strategic instrument. Each costal nation with head on shoulders, shall preserve and support this compartment. UK have to remember when EU brutally and shameless intervined in local fisheries, literally bribing the owners to close business.

@@strobo24 I'm sorry but I don't understand the point you are making. What advantage is being seen as a hidden problem? Where are the unexploited waters? The traditional exploitation of fisheries was unsustainable, which is why the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) gave advice on fish quotas that the EU attempted to adopt but were frustrated in its implementation by its member states. The restriction of fishing has been partially successful in that the stocks of some species are beginning to show signs of recovery but there is still a long way to go and further quota cuts are likely to be imposed on fishermen by the EU, which the UK will have to follow or face a tariff on fish exports to the EU rather than the present non-tariff barrier.

@@simonjohn9525 english channel??? is it just english or have you another country in the other side???

Exactly. No mention n the piece about the export problems brought by leaving the CU and SM!

“Large powerful modern vessels” from Europe is “unfair competition”. It doesn’t sound unfair, it sounds like you’re losing... that’s different.

@@jamesmcgarry1229 They're English, everything is unfair when they aren't the ones being unfair lol

No, but the UK can sell them at reasonable fair prices and not being given for free. These are the UK's fishermen's main livelihood. I think we can change all that. If the EU want to impose tariffs on the fish, fine. Then, the cost of fish and seafoods will go up for the EU to buy. But not being given the UK's main fishermen's livelihoods for free!!!!! That's not acceptable.

@@emmareyes4013 it's the Tories who finished off British fishermen...and farmers, haulage industry, hospitality sector, care home sector... the list goes on

Are you british? If not then get out of here.

@@nou2923 Why, other countries are affected by Brexshit too.

@@gabbertje-rh7rw Good! I hope they suffer for what they did to this nation!

He lies like a flatfish

Reality is they were fucked for decades even before brexit was a thing

Under the boat

@@Rando_Shytehis right, they will change the boat with bus

Along with the NHS and everyone not in his spiffy little club.

Well, as long as he is funny and you can drink a beer with him, just like with farage. That's all that matters...

And ironically that bus had £350 million a week more for the NHS written on the side of it. They never saw that money either.

Not tax free, but over taxes.

it's not the catching that's the problem, it's the selling. The single market was created by the UK under M Thatcher to smooth trade within the EU by reducing paperwork (as it was in the 1980's) . Therefore leaving the single market means extra form filling. But that means delays. But you can't delay a lorry load of fish. It's that simple. Fishermen know their business so should have seen the problems coming. But they got taken in by liars. Zero sympathy.

Giving them 100% will Change nothing they would Just be unable to sell the Fish so they sell the quotas Like they are doing right now

They just forgot they had to sell the fish! Oops

@@JohnSmall314 You got it in 1

Given it is only one percent of UK GDP, a fisherman said that fishing will be used as a porn in trade negotiations. Turns out he was right..

Spot on, mate!

Yep, reminds me this english pensioner that regrets voting for it because he was living in spain and bough a house.. all he wanted was "No foreigners going to england".. this level of entitlement is amazing, it is totally delusional...

I think the date to do that is 24th of July 2022

This

they traded economic wealth to stop free movement. they have succeeded

You better hope that third country won't become a third world country in the next decade.

25 percent is nothing. Every country should have full control of their waters

The plan was to leave the eu but also stay inside to undercut the eu from the inside. This will stay happen through ni.

@Dorothy Gale you can't physically stop fish from swimming in various waters. Not ethically at least. Therefore you can only fish what is within your waters at the time

And your farmer friends will be next when they discover their EU subsidies have come to an end, they think Boris &Co. will cover it.

@Houssain Al ahmafi If anything, the UK has MORE leverage in the world stage as it has separated itself from the EU as a major power that is better off without it.

Its not right.
