That's why fishing is important to Brexit.

Scallop fishing is particularly shit for the world, given its usually by a big belt smashing fuck out of the sea bed.

If we got a 200 mile zone around us, what else would that let us do?

Large portions (the majority) of our fishing waters are also within 200 miles of other (EU) countries.

There has already been a fun bunfight between ROI and UK over a fishing grounds arrangement outside the EU regulations.

I've sympathy for fishing towns, but I fear they've been played. Who is going to buy back sold quota, and invest in sustainable fishing grounds?

This government? I'd be surprised.
