Remind me, who was our Fisheries representative? Brexit: Nigel Farage only turned up to one of 42 EU fisheries committee meetings Descrier 2016 Nigel Farage sailed a boat down the Thames yesterday in an attempt to highlight the plight of British fishermen, conveniently forgetting that he did nothing to protect the industry while on the EU fisheries committee. Nigel Farage has said that the UK fishing industry has been “gutted due to the EU” and that the institution was out of touch with the problems facing Britons fishermen. However, according to research by Greenpeace “over the three years that Nigel Farage was a member of the European Parliament Fisheries Committee, he attended one out of 42 meetings”.

Well, the comment was tongue in cheek because they certainly have been doing in the past because of Brexit: https://hortnews.com/garden-centres-stockpiling-ahead-of-border-checks/ https://bmmagazine.co.uk/in-business/garden-centres-rush-to-stockpile-plants-ahead-of-brexit-border-checks/ The people working in this sector and the trade body that represents them say Brexit is an expensive, damaging pile. You saw a Dutch lorry, once. 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crisispoint Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 On a personal level the consequences of Brexit are, I know now we don't live in a democracy in or out of the EU, it has confirmed that our politicians and civil service need to be told what to do, they no longer think for themselves and that the establishment, blob call it what you want, will do anything to frustate the will of the people if the people don't share it's values and goals, IE to be harnessed in iron clad laws thought up by others, so they can say not my fault gov it's the rules.
