>The EU has been accused of “sticking two fingers up at the UK” amid plans to snatch up fish before they reach British waters. It comes as Britain intends to regain control of its waters post-Brexit. >The UK is seeking to revoke the Commons Fisheries Act, which gives EU trawlers indiscriminate access to British fish stock. However, an EU official told the Sun on Tuesday that the bloc was hatching plans to dodge the new restrictions by catching fish before they reach UK waters. >Popular fish, including mackerel and herring, breed and swim in-between the European mainland and the British Isles through the North Sea. EU sources claim the bloc could respond to the UK’s proposed regulations by netting younger species before they migrate to British waters. >Alan Hastings, from the campaign group Fishing for Leave, slammed the EU’s plans as “childish", saying the bloc “has spent years lecturing everyone on environmental sustainability and now they’re advocating unsustainable fishing.” >“Now they’re proposing this just to stick two fingers up at the British. It’s really coming down to the EU looking childish here,” Hastings added, according to the Express: “We lost our resources and 60 percent of the British fleet got the chop to make room for them. Now the EU is going to have to cut its cloth.” rt.com/uk/416741-fishing-eu-bloc-brexit/ youtube.com/watch?v=NFA8UIFeWPE l
Told you, they are fish thieves. They always try to steal your fish

>But an anonymous EU diplomat, also talking to the Sun, defended the policy, saying “fish don’t have passports.” >“Those who have said they want to take back control of British waters forget that you can have the water, but we’re not talking about water we’re talking about fish. The fish don’t have passports. >Some of these fish could be fished earlier when they’re smaller, so they won’t ever get to British waters. That might not be good for everyone,” the Express reports the official as saying. >We’re not blind to the fact that what we say may not square with the expectations for what the UK government can negotiate. But this is a common challenge. There’s a reason why we manage our stocks together.” >Gaining back control of UK waters was one of the main Leave pledges during the EU referendum campaign in June 2016. >The news comes as fishermen call on the government to take back control of British waters immediately after Brexit, rather than keeping the act in place for the duration of the two-year transition period. >“We want to leave straight away, absolutely. It’s a resource we should be utilizing as an island nation but the amount of fish we’re allowed to have to from our waters is miniscule,” Paul Joy, a fisherman based in Hastings, told the I news outlet.
We would have gone to war over this
Asher Nelson
They really are quite possibly the worst scum in the world. I can’t believe some people are still brainwashed enough to consider the EU a paragon of decency and enlightenment. fuck me they are in for a shock
Blake Hughes
They are, we were always very ware about them here. Never trusted them at all. Even though we are not even in this shit, they have been sneaking more and more shit into the EEC
As expected really, always trying to get our fish
Adrian Powell
>We would have gone to war over this Because you have nothing to export beyond fish, oil and oily fish.
Ayden Ward
Sooo, environmental terrorism... Destroy the stocks before they mature. breaking the breeding cycle. Annihilating the fish populations altogether. Sound like something worth going to war over. Good opportunity for a new strong leader to break through the ranks. And when they finish with the fish terrorists, they can clean out their own establishment terrorists.
Mason Green
I declare Great Britain is now at war with the Eu and its member states.
Yes i will fuck up hundreds of thousands of human lives to protect the well-being and sustainability of fish.
Hunter Russell
Just when I thought the EU couldn't get any lower. What the flying fuck is wrong with this thing?
Christopher Flores

Xavier Cruz
I'm hoping the frogs will soon call the EU bullshit and leave too. That will be another big blow to the globalists, one that they may not recover from.
David Thomas
Fucking retarded EU niggers. Why are these faggots acting like chinks? Do you faggots want to wipe out your fish supply?
Camden Allen
OY
Matthew Reed
>Do you faggots want to wipe out your fish supply? They already did. This is one of the main reasons Norway, Iceland and Greenland have no interest in joining the EU. The Spanish and to a lesser extent French fishing fleets are gigantic and have already stripped continental Europe's coastal waters bare. My dad's a ship's captain and every year he sees British fishing ships leaving the spawning grounds while Spanish trawlers lurk on the horizon ready to swoop in because Spanish customs doesn't give a shit about things like "minimum sizes". The Common Fisheries Policy's name is absolutely mud in coastal British communities.
