Oh fishy, fishy, fishy fish

I saw a Twitter post on Monday that showed the average position of the UK fishing fleet over a 48 period over the weekend.

Most were off the cast or Ireland, iceland or Norway. The North Sea hardly had any vessels at all.

It is against this, and the fact that fishing accounts for something like 0.1% of UK GDP, that the Government is holding up an agreement with the EU for the fishing industry. An industry that relies on the EU to take 80% of its catch.

It is possible that fishing is being used as a smokescreen, a red herring if you will, and the real issue is Governance and divergance.

Last night Johnson and Van de Leyen released statements, not a joint one this time, saying the two sides were poles apart. The EU has now said a deadline of Sunday has been imposed.

It has been suggested that Parliament could sit on the 28th and 29th December with passing into law on the 30th. A white paper text is already being drafted.

The UK seems to want a deal. Maybe, as it always is, is how to spin a defeat or u-turn into a vicotry for Johnson, if only for a few days.

This morning, Gove admitted that delays of 7,000 trucks and queues of two days is not beyond the range of possibilities in the New Year.

It has been suggested that if Remoaners had not been so entrenched then a softer Brexit would have been possible. This is a lie, once May had made to Lancaster House Speech stating Brexit meant leaving the SM and CU, a hard Brexit was certain. It was just how much harder the UK wanted it. Niether May or Johnson attempted to reach across to unite the nation, instead 52% was rounded up to 100% and 48% rounded down to zero. The time for compomise was wasted, stampted on and burnt on the Brexit pyre.

Although people voted for Brexit for many reasons, helped by being assured it was a no risk vote, that there were no downsides to Brexit, just considerable upsides, a few hours imple research showed me that Brexit was bollocks, pure and simple. I have been saying this for four and a half years, ignored, clled a traitor and worse. Being proved right is no consolation. What would I say to someone who voted leave and now regretted it? Hard to say; what did you think would happen? I knew, they knew, we all knew, and yet voted, and did nothing for four and a half years. People were lied to, liears gonna lie, but many didn't mind being lied to because is matched their views, and triggered the remainers.

Aint that the truth?

So, the board is laid, the dice loaded, and now JOhnson has to make a choice: twist or stick. Deal or no deal.

He's fucked whichever he choses. One also fucks his party while the other fucks us all except those who bet against the country. His friends.
