.Fishermen from the Cornish port of Newlyn were among the most spirited Brexiters.
As Britain tries to negotiate a two-year transition agreement with Brussels that is supposed to provide a smooth path for industry after the country leaves the EU next year, its fishermen fear they may be getting a raw deal.
The arrangement proposed by Brussels would leave the UK in the EU’s common fisheries policy for at least the next two years but without a seat at the table to defend its interests in crucial negotiations. Its fishermen say they would be at the whim of rivals from France and Spain, for example, when it comes time to divvy up catch quotas and agree regulations.

It's a shame such enthusiastic Brexit supporters are now realising the practical reality. A privileged few might benefit, the majority won't.
