As you know, I don't agree with what you've just replied, but to keep it short, I single out just one of your remarks to repudiate and then bring in "totemic"..
The very last thing on the EU's minds in negotiating with us is the sustainability of fish stocks; a complete red herring (pun intended) on your part. Sustainability is as important to the UK as it should be to the EU, but that's not the headline negotiating issue.
You have more or less said that "totemic" is irrational; although that would have to cut both ways were it the case. A lot of British fisherman want their waters back and it's not irrational for me to support that.
