The government is withdrawing the UK from an arrangement that allows foreign countries to fish in British waters, it has been announced.
The convention allows vessels from France, Belgium, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands to fish within six and 12 nautical miles of the UK's coastline.
Some 10,000 tonnes of fish was caught by other countries under the convention, worth an estimated £17 million.
Hurrah!
Now we can fish it and sell it to nobody because the instant we leave the EU the fish will be expensive as fuck to export.
PROGRESS!
FREEDOM!
Gotta need all the fish to feed your pakis and niggers
Oh no all that exclusive sea life in British waters
pretty much this and you can't import european food for cheap anymore
you will need every single fish you can catch
>UK yes!
>yes
sell it to bongs you stupid bong
Are these fish good candidates to be made into sticks?
yeah a larger supply of cheap, locally sourced fish is terrible for the people of britain at a time when import tariffs loom ahead
>implying we won't eat the pakis
sustainable eco system mate
We shrekt Lithuanians yesterday. Fuckers tried to use loopholes in EU laws to crab fish in our waters, which we have full sovereignty over. They received a fine of 298343,6 dollars, the captain got a extra fine of 1790,06 dollars
>What is a domestic market?
>Wait, there are foreign markets beyond the EU?
>I'm sure the EU will be just fine without that water access for which the UK originally received NO COMPENSATION WHATSOEVER!
Only a Brockpuppet or a German could be so shortsighted and retarded.
Gee, great stuff, it's not like we don't have plenty of fish to eat domestically already.
OH, WAIT.
>foreign markets outside EU
Yeah, let's just send some frozen fish to India, Australia and America.
They'll love our top fish. The best fish.
Ain't no fish like it.
Meanwhile at ECONOMY 101.
Our fish will be no match for local fish HALF WAY ROUND THE FUCKING WORLD.
It costs a lot to send that shit around. Especially frozen food. If it were shit clothes, you'd have a point, but sending huge freezers full of fish is much more costly. You can't do that shit for mere pennies.
>burger education
We have some of the richest oceans in the world.
finally I can actually afford to eat fucking fish
we live on a fucking island, and I personally live less than 50 miles from the coast, and yet it's expensive as fuck compared to buying any land meat.
I look forward to the days ahead where I can actually go to my local market and buy freshly caught fish for pennies because it wasn't caught by some bloody dutchman who freezes it and ships it over to sell for stupid money
We can just buy and eat it here. We've never been a huge exporter of fish. The cheap local fish combined with cheap African fruit, cheap West Indian sugar and cheap African fruit n bread means food prices might drop or at least stabilise.
The real downside is our farms will need subsidies because they won't be able to compete. Maybe we can start doing more delicacy farming like Kobe beef to create export.
I want to have cheaper cod and chips.
I don't want it fucking exported overseas. I want to not have to spent 8 bongs for a god damn piece of cod covered in batter.
>You can't send frozen fish across the world xD
>Meanwhile, Econ 101 roflmao xD
That shit isn't covered in Econ 101 - I'm a college tutor. To the first argument, fake news; depending on the type of fish and demand, there can be lucrative trade for frozen fish in foreign markets (or massive domestic markets). There's a reason Alaskan-caught wild salmon is consumed as far as Florida and the British Isles.
Oy yer taking our livelihoods.
>Yeah, let's just send some frozen fish to India, Australia and America.
go into your supermarket and you'll find about 75% of fish products are expensive fish that have been frozen and transported from the other side of the planet
meanwhile our own fish are caught by europeans and sold back to us at rates matching the prices of the fish we get from across the globe, it's a total joke.
It's realistically all we can do.
Specialities will be the best route for farmers.
We've already been doing experimental quinoa farming without a compound that requires washing to remove.
Easier quinoa consumption? People will pay fuckloads for that even though it literally just means paying more for not having to put quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and flushing with water.
True. I would prefer that too.
Some fish. Most of the fish in this aren't related to those at all.
We can grow better fish on fucking land in aquaponics farms in just as large a number as we catch.
There's a large explosion in aquaponics over the last few years all over the market.
We buy it and eat it you retard.
The way it works now is these foreign companies come into our waters, catch our fish, then sell it back to us at inflated prices.
>we live on a fucking island, and I personally live less than 50 miles from the coast, and yet it's expensive as fuck compared to buying any land meat.
Dude, what is a fishing rod. Just go fishing on weekends and you have so much fish, you can sell some of it to buy veggies that go with your self fished fresh fish. That is what we do here on the North sea. Me and my buddies go out a few miles from the shore and fish. Sometimes it is even sunny...
EU wouldn't let us fish in our own waters. They would fine you for it.
Kek, EU BTFO
>UK yes!
how can faggots keep messing this meme up
As long as we kicked the Icelandic volcanoniggers out. They've been plundering our fish too long. Time we taught them a lesson - cod war 2: antiship missiles boogaloo
He's an eu faggot, he thinks it's a bad thing...
UK is asking for Cod War II
Good, this was never about the money. It was about creating jobs and wealth for people in our deprived coastal towns - and ensuring the continentals didn't ruin our waters like they've ruined theirs.
Continentals fuck off, no fish for you lel.
Well, seems we got a better deal with the EU then.
FUCKING YES!
THE FUCKING FISH ARE COMING HOME.
IT'S BREXIT MANIA
The EU wouldn't let us fish in our own waters. Would fine us for it.
Then they'd fish in our waters, catch our fish, and resell it back to us at an inflated cost.
You're going to have to explain to me how this is a good deal for us.
stick it up your ass then
seriously, who gives a shit what happens to the uk? since you fags ruined everything, its about good time you go down the toilet
>Yes
it's no you retard, fuck off back to plebbit
>ruined everything
how?
all that horrible civilising savages had to endure?
Don't you have some savage nogs to be killed by?
This is such an amazing argument. You act like Britain is miles away. Is they need to smuggle their escargot they'll find a way.
Shut up cunt or we will become a tax haven and steal all your shit.

how, maybe that moment you allied with the wrong side in ww2, gave kikes the world in silver platter, through their forthing dog usa, and lost your empire, ending an era of colonialism that set back the world centuries, by letting a continent undomesticated, gave kikes a country that threatens the whole world with subversion and terrorism. but who am i kidding, youve been controlled by redshields and their child raping familia since day one, and still are
holy shit is there anythiung more disgusting than the wretched anglo? how the fuck can you feel pride for yourselves? your twisted faces are a manifestation of ther wickedness your country has unleashed in this world

Have you actually seen the price on fish that isn't from fucking Birds Eye m8?

HOLY SHIT
THEY WILL BE YOUR BIGGEST ALLIES FIGHTING THE EU
DON'T DISMISS THE POOS
I want you to be a national hero of Denmark my man
You blame the anglos for that? Their hand was forced by us. If you want to hate someone for everything wrong in the world hate the Germans.
The self hating German is back. Your posts gave me a hearty chuckle in the past. Why haven't you killed yourself yet?
Because not everyone on Sup Forums hates Germans yet.
Although we had several Germans in the last few days asking why they are so hated on Sup Forums and people replied with my pictures and arguments. So that was great.
It's true you can't handle the banter.
two shits of the same dump
spain should ahve remained hegemon
they kicked out mudslimes, then kikes, and catholisized the whole planet
holy shit
Now we just need to annex the Irish Republic and get even more fishing waters
He knows what's up
SAVE US CAPTAIN BIRDSEYE
All the other European countries will be only able to fish dirty stinking migrants that died in the sea whilst we have fresh succulent fish.
I bet our Nige will be thrilled about this.
i dont think you understand the joke behind saying yes is situations like these
also
>gay flag
kys homo
>EU
Like 70% of the tuna of the Mediterranean ends up in Japan. There are lots of markets for fish, buddy boy.
Fish sucks, pig is better.
>British waters
Isn't that just all water that's wet, and most of the dry water too? Or did policy change over there.
(((British))) waters
...
Their claim is literally "some viking invaders got buried in Scotland, that gives us right to fish in your waters".
No really. That is it.
I bet you also bore on about the environment and sustainability too, without ever joining the dots.
>expensive as fuck to export
What are you talking about you idiot?
it's you who doesn't get it
you say "Yes!" when a country does something cucked
hence sweden yes!
in this case it would be UK no!

UK
>As of 1st January 2014, the UK fishing fleet of boats over 12m fleet totalled 756 vessels. Of this total, 363 boats were Scottish; 224 English/ Welsh; 113 Northern Irish; 34 Anglo-Spanish and 22 Dutch.
Whole of EU
>100 000 fishing boats registered by EU countries share the 7.7 million tonnes of fish caught each year both in Europe's own waters and elsewhere.*
>Greece has the most vessels with the national fleet hovering around 20 000. Italian and Spanish fishing boats are almost as numerous.
Good luck trying to outfish the EU fleet. Do you think fish respect maritime borders? The 2nd those cross into the EU they will be gobbled up. Leaving nothing for your pathetic flotilla.
When I was in UK for Brexit, a fisherman told me how he was happy it happened because after the EU came in, the local fisherman weren't allowed to catch and sell fish without proper processing under EU law which raises prices. Not to mention they had to compete with EU caught fishes which dramatically destroyed their local fisheries as well as not being able to fish in their own local waters due to regulations that give way to foreign european fisheries. That's why the seafood prices in Britain are extremely expensive despite being next to a bountiful sea and seafood sellers had to import seafood from Europe in order to compete on price.
Now everything will be cheaper and Brits will eat more fish.
>he doesn't realize fishermen can sell to people from their own country
Euro Unionomics has really taken a toll on your brain cells, eh Muhammad Allah-Mcbingbong?
en.wikipedia.org
Strap in boys its time for cod war 2.0
The EU literally paid for UK fishermen to destroy their boats. They imposed all kinds of restrictions and regulations on how we could fish, then came and told us if we destroy out boats they'll pay us for it.
The EU has always hated the UK and done everything in it's power to shit on us. The way they've been acting since we decided to leave is nothing new, they're just being more vocal about it now.
Hol up senpai. You be saying fucking Greece got better negotiators and more influence in the EU than the UK? Because Greece has 25 times as many boats as you.
Greece certainly has more influence. I forget the exact number, but just before the Brexit vote happened the EU passed 70-80 regulations that the UK voted against because they were harmful in some way to the UK. Obviously they all got passed.
That is 70-80 regulations in 6 or so months. All detrimental to the UK.
This is not an uncommon occurrence and was one of the main points the leave side put forwards in their argument about why we should leave (but typical bias media failed to report this constantly).
Now we have a carrier, it's time to lay claim to the East coast of America.
Hahaha Fuck you Europe, no more tasty British fish for you. Enjoy your shitty sticklebacks
