Seems very sound to me as a strategy.

He could have negotiated for a better deal for the country. Instead, he chose the easiest deal for himself.

And that's the end of that chapter

Thread closed then?

Obviously not before I am able to say that we are unshackled. A great day.

Possibly the majority of leave voters aren’t jingoistic, flag-obsessed nutters after all.

The day that the UK leaves the EU and unshackles itself from their obsession with a superstate, their obsession with placating the French, their domination (perhaps waning) by German economic power and from the ECJ.

We are free to make our own laws, be judged ultimately by our own people, forge trade agreements around the world, particularly for food products. We regain control of our fisheries and we can spit in the eye of the French government who are demanding 25 years' rights. Two fingers to that lot until they become more reasonable, no matter how big they are as a collective.

Two fingers to the perfidious Varadkar and we should source all our beef in the UK and from places like Argentina and so on.

The guvmin has passed a law that puts all the negotiation outcomes into their sole decision, allowing them to fulfil their election obligations without Parliament getting up to its tricks again.

Bleaters are almost certain to put forward some form of anti-democratic charge and prophesies of doom.

But this is a day on which we become free again.

The UK's fishing and fish processing industries employ 24,000 people and contribute 1.4 billion pounds to the UK economy, that is 0.12% of GDP involving under 0.1% of the UK's 33 million workforce.

There were 1,100,000 financial services jobs in the UK, 3.1% of all job (46 times as many jobs as fishing), and the financial services sector contributed £132 billion to the UK economy (94 times the contribution of fishing), and was 6.9% of total economic output.

Pretty sure Financial Services will take priority over Fishing...

The guvmin should not sacrifice the little people. Promises were made to them as well.

Besides, if it's so important to the French to have 25 more years in our waters, that's good enough reason to deny it to them. Macron is as perfidious as Varadkar.

Nearly 30% of U.K. fishing rights are owned by five large family businesses -

Lunar Fishing Company, owned by Alexander Buchan and family
Interfish, owned by Jan Colam and family
Klondyke Fishing Company, owned by Robert Tait and family
Andrew Marr International, owned by Andrew Marr and family
JW Holdings, owned by Sir Ian Wood and family.

"the little people"???
