May accused of 'massive sell-out' of Scottish fishermen

[Guest]

THERESA May has been accused of “a massive sell-out” of Scotland’s fishermen after agreeing to Britain abiding by EU fishing quotas during the 21-month implementation period.

As the UK Government announced it had agreed with Brussels the basis of a transition deal through to the end of 2020, accusations of betrayal over fishing rights came from different quarters – a charge denied by Downing Street.

Ruth Davidson faced calls from the SNP to apologise over her “shame-faced” breaking of a promise to help safeguard Scottish fishermen’s rights.

But the Scottish Conservative leader issued a warning to the Prime Minister; that if the UK did not take back full control of its waters post December 2020, then she could not back the final Brexit deal.

David Davis told a press conference in the Belgian capital that the UK had agreed the basis of a deal covering the implementation period, which now looks set to be agreed by the EU27 at this Thursday’s European Council meeting.

The Brexit Secretary said as part of that deal there would be “specific safeguards” on annual fishing negotiations, which take place each December covering the following 12 months.

I think I've got this right .... 70% of fish caught in British waters is exported because we're not very keen on what we catch.
70% of the fish we eat is imported.

0.5% of the economy is suddenly realised as it's importance to our economy while 60% fucks off to Frankfurt.

Blue passports though and sovereignty that has the funny bloke with the mad hair begging for solidarity from our European partners, the people that he had built a career on slagging off mainly due to appealing to the lounge bar intellect.

Fish makes little money for the UK because who the fuck would want to do that? I've grown up nine miles from Brixham and never has the thought of life on a trawler appealed to me. It makes great documentary films but fuck that!

Something like that. Grimsby asked for an exception to quotas of wriggly things that the continental people like to eat (alive probably) that can only be ripped off of the rocks of our small country.

Ruth Davidson campaigned strongly for us to remain in the EU.

Were we to remain in the EU, Scot's fishing rights would remain as they are now.

Ruth Davidson is now moaning bitterly that Scot's fishing rights will remain as they are now, until 2020.

Ruth Davidson is a two-faced, twisting, hypocritical Tory.

Yet, many Scots vote Tory, so why is that?

Fake News sites are already blaming the SNP for the Tories agreeing to stuff.

Scottish Conservatives have hit out at the draft Brexit transition deal on fishing rights, with one suggesting it would be easier “to get someone to drink a pint of cold sick” than selling it as a success.

Oh dear.
