Brexit, for once some facts.

[flecc]

According to the UK's Marine Management Organisation, EU boats land 700,000 tonnes of fish from UK waters annually, but Britain’s 6,000 vessel fleet land a higher figure than this as a result of their ability to access EU waters."

700,001 tonnes?
I'm always suspicious of such deliberately obtuse statements.

There's also the fact that 80% of our fishing vessels are under 10 metres in length, tiddlers by today's fishing vessel standards as our 12,000 fisherman show, only two per boat.

I'm surprised there are as many as 6,000!

Just checked here

And we landed less that the EU!
Key StatisticsIn 2019, there were 5,911 UK registered fishing vessels. This is a decrease of 125 compared to 2018. Almost 80 per cent of the UK fleet is made up of vessels of 10 metres and under in length. Vessels over 24 metres in length account for just 4 per cent of the total number but for three fifths of total capacity and a third of total power. There are around 12,000 fishers working on UK registered vessels. This has been stable for the past decade. Fleet In 2019, UK vessels landed 622 thousand tonnes of sea fish with a value of £987 million. Compared to 2018, this is a reduction of 11 per cent and 2 per cent in quantity and value respectively.

Luckily the French boats are bigger and fitted with transponders..You can follow them on apps such as ship tracker, so the royal Navy should have no trouble finding them if they happen to stray into our waters...... Rule Brittania

Silly Boy! and what happens to our boats that stray into EU waters?
Do you imagine for one moment our boats only fish in British waters?
We have four small boats tracking 6,000 plus EU boats ?

Brittania is liable to get her arse kicked
Just as we did with Iceland

I think that lost something in translation. Was it not that Charles mother was a liz?

There you go then, runs in the family

I've seen some of what's on it!

But have you seen the machine itself...does it exist in physical form ?

How a fake persona laid the groundwork for a Hunter Biden conspiracy deluge

A 64-page document that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm."

Should have been two separate posts.

We'll see. More likely to end up as Rue Britannia.

With GPS nobody "Strays" anywhere....Don't worry we have already done a deal with Iceland and Norway.
United Kingdom, Norway and Iceland sign trade continuity agreement - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Boris will probably sell us out anyway.

Contract to track UK and foreign-licensed boats in British waters handed to French firm Collecte Localisation Satellites (CLS) last year after previously being held by British firm, Globavista.

The next logical move it to ask for French Gunboats too!

It wasn’t long ago it was seriously suggested we share aircraft carriers with the French.

Brexit jokes are appearing as expected

"A man walks into a shop. He asks the clerk, “You don’t have any meat?”
The clerk says, “No, here we don’t have any fish.
The shop that doesn’t have any meat is across the street.”

Good for you - what about the alledged underage pics you said was on it?

I would show you, but I'd be banned from the forum and arrested for possession of child porn. Go to 4chan and see it for yourself.

 

[vfr400]

Really, I think what you have seen is an unverified copy of something that was allegedly on a laptop, allegedly owned by Hunter Biden.

Go and see them for yourself, then come back and tell everybody whether you think they're genuine.

Don't forget that Hunter Biden has never denied any of it. The only people that have are people like you and Biden's support troops in the media. It's a fact that he's presently under investigation by the FBI after the story came out. The laptop shop gave them the laptop a year ago, but the investigation has only just started. They know exactly what happened.

Contrast this with the weak, limp leaders we have in Europe.
But I guess lefties will hate it.

You could also contrast it with Churchill's 'Blood, sweat and tears' speech, but the problem is that Churchill was a Tory!
Anyway, what do you do? Give up at the first opportunity?

How appropriate all those shots of space shuttles on their way to disaster are.

A perfect simile for Trump's worthless presidency.

How many of the claimed 25,000 very dodgy pics did you view? How did you figure they are connected to Hunter?

You really shouldn't admit to such esteem for a depraved and corrupt renegade tax dodger as Trump.
only a right winger could be that simple to mistake dangerous stupidity as a leadership trait.
Fortunately for the USA he's on the way out, leaving just a bad smell of sour grapes to remember him by.

And I have never denied being the love child of QE2 and Genghis khan ..Mind you nobody ever accused me of that either. Vfr, if you are indeed a hunter for truth and not just Bidens, wait till there is this thing called evidence,and chain of custody, you know those boring things that adults use ...facts
