"We thought Europe would be desperate for our fish because we would have control of it all" Yeah man no other European country has access to fishes just the UK

[GazilionPT]

44 years exporting fish and still knew nothing about exporting.

2020: Bloody foreigners are stealing all our fish because we are in the EU!
2021: Bloody foreigners won't buy any of our fish because we are out of the EU!

"We thought Europe would depend on us" "We thought Europe would be desperate for our fish because we would have control of it all" if he had a single shred of self awareness he would be having an "Are we the Baddies?" moment right here

"I only wanted to hurt the Slavs, blacks, and other undesirables."

"- Leaving the market where we sell all our fish, and the customs union will help my business" It's like they thought that theirs was the only fishing waters.

"When I voted for the party of leopards eating faces, I didn't think leopards would eat MY face"

They didn't lie to you, bro, they told you what you wanted to hear

"The man in the desert is sovereign, but he can do nothing. because he is powerless"

[Maialeen]

Imagine being an EXPORTER and voting to leave a huge free trade market. Imagine. How wild would it be if someone did that. Heh....wait.

Takes real professionals to convince a man whose profession is to trade, to make it harder to do his own job for the "future of the country". Good luck trading with Canada and Australia, but France was right there on your doorstep.

It makes you wonder how he managed to stay in business this long considering how little he understands about how it works.

[fredsmith-kingofthelunatic]

Europe includes how many countries? And you thought they'd rely on you?
That is the perfect example of the blind British spirit. A romanticised idea of how things used to be.

[pedrosantos]

At least you wont starve mate, you still have all that unsold fish for yourself.

[Interdiffusion]

At least he admits he was wrong, but he and others like him were quite willing to destroy other European fishermen's livelihoods for the sake of their own greed.

[keith]

"For Europe to rely on us." Did the pro-Brexit people ever take a look at the population of the EU compared to the population of the UK?

[azifazeez]

I feel bad for the younger generation who didn't want this. But these boomers, ruining everything.

[neilmchardy]

Buyers regrets, can’t have any sympathy because him and his cohorts have screwed not only himself but all of us.

[cmsacademy]

Their village mentality has truly screwed up my livelihood and the future of my kids

[Seb_London]

You were warned again and again. Now you care because it affects you, when others were to be worse off you didn't care less!
