Can't wait for the French to start blockading ports again, years since we've seen so much fun. 
and do you really think that if a 'secret' deal was struck by the UK to pension off the French fishing fleet, it would stay out of the news? |
Fish is a generic term - perhaps the species the French like are in our waters? Blockading ports and disrupting medicine supplies is not a great place to be in, especially with Covid still present. There's been plenty of financial deals struck so far with the EU giving billions away (think our shares in the EIB for example ) so something like this for a few million extra in development funds for the ports of Calais and Dover can easily be done, no issues. When the Government's chopping down money tree forests the size of the Amazon, such things won't be apparent.
