Scoop, I have to disagree with fishing and I’m a keen fisherman myself.
Fishing contributes 1.4b a year to the U.K. economy, 0.5% of GDP. I understand specific villages feel the impact, it’s like Aberdeen in Scotland, mostly costa and rural areas that feel it more.
However, to simply state Brexit is worth fighting over fishing when the U.K. imports more fish than it exports is simply shooting ourselves in the foot. This statement may not go down well, but when you look at the GDP and the economy as a whole, it’s merely the crumbs of what’s important to our countries economy.
This is being played as a nationalism card and always will be.
