As for the fishing industry, this is just one small part of the problem we have with being part of the EU.
I don’t know you, but by the sound of it, you are left leaning politically. So your apparent dismissal of the plight of our fishermen does make me wonder which side of the fence you are actually on. These people have been sacrificed for the sacred EU, despite any principles toward the plight of the working man. I don’t know how any Labour supporters can seriously agree with the policies that have inflicted upon the fishing community. Seems like their only hope lies with the Conservatives.
Maybe other working class people should ponder that, too. Labour policies make the poor poorer.

I suspect you won't find many left-leaning people on a pay-TV forum and I'm no exception to that rule!
Regarding fishing, it makes up less than 0.5% of the country's GDP so in terms of importance other industries are far more important to the country no matter how many times you borrow Diane Abbott's magic calculator! Put it another way, there's about 11,000 people employed in the UK fishing industry compared to 856,000 in the wider automotive sector. Leaving the EU is a threat to this important industry and our tax base as once jobs leave, they don't tend to come back.
Greg Clark seems to be belatedly waking up to the facts.

My response was totally relevant, although I accept that they may not have been welcomed in your house. Sorry about that.

I quoted and commented on Chris's post not yours, Old Boy. When would you ever be anything except relevant?
