Exactly, that's the nub of the fishing dilemma, a sector that accounts for 0.01% of UK GDP but seems to take up about 50% of negotiations.

On a different note - provided that our Guvmin isn't acting politically (who knows - anything can be true), it doesn't need Ibiza to be clear TODAY of CV for someone or tens from Barcelona to bring it there, for example. See the Italian ski resorts for details.

I doubt they will stop eating fish but fish is a great product that can be frozen and transported anywhere in the word,it can be processed into various products/canned /salted and dried/smoked and cured into red herrings  and of course sold cheaply to the uk market.

Re: Coronavirus
Spanish people should holiday in Spain, German people should holiday in Germany and UK people should holiday in the UK. Europe (the continent) is in this mess because it was too slow to shut down internal borders.
I don’t know what competent public health authority, anywhere in the world, would genuinely think their chances to controlling the virus is aided by tens of thousands of people moving into and out of their jurisdictions on a daily basis.

I totally agree with you, Butlitz or bust this summer.
The problem is Spanish folk can't drink as much as the English who can't even compete with the Scotts,so takings will be down on the costa dell piss up.

Totally agree with you but if I was working for Tui or easyJet I might have a different viewpoint.

This is just one example of what one suspects will be of many more.

Unfortunately the virus isn’t going to make exceptions based on employment sectors, and neither can an effective response. It’s for the Government(s) around the world to target support where needed.
In a second wave, in any country, the whole economy goes to pot anyway.

Fortunately I don't - I think the only opportunities of growth seem to be delivery drivers at the moment.

You're not as sensible as usual, jfman.
How about Mauritius, which is where we'll be going (again)?

All clear - test results came back negative.
Keep calm and carry on...

Twitter gave the president's son a 12-hour time out from tweeting on Tuesday after he posted a link to a video containing what Twitter said was misleading information about COVID-19.
Donald Trump Jr posted a video promoting the drug hydroxychloroquine, which his father has also promoted and claimed to be taking himself as a precaution against the coronavirus...
However scientists in the UK have also halted a large trial of the drug after early results showed it had no benefit in those suffering from the virus.
"We reviewed the data and concluded there is no evidence of a beneficial effect of hydroxychloroquine in patients," said Professor Martin Landray from the University of Oxford, who is co-leading the RECOVERY trial.
"This is not a treatment [for COVID-19]," he said.
