Scoxit ?
Scoxit ?
Brexit is already a failure as many delsilusioned Brits are finding out and it's getting more obvious each day.
Is Scotland going to leave the not so United Kingdom and find its way back into the EU, as a majority of Scots never wanted to leave in the first place? Any good reason for them to stay under London rule?
Is Boris Johnson a coward?

Follow Andrew Neil on Twitter & you can shake a stick with about 100 reasons why Scots won't leave the UK at any Scot caught up in the hyperbole. The number of 'have a go' SNP dullards being served a fierce political or financial backhand volley at their "what about if we .." questions is savage, and, totally on point.

The UK media is full of interviews with fishermen complaining that brexit has been awful for them, ironic because fishing was such a powerful symbol used by Leavers to justify it, despite it being 0.2 percent of the industry.
U.K. fishing is primarily sold to Europe on a just in time basis - fresh lobster, langoustine etc. New paperwork reauirements means it now sits on docks, going to waste.
Fantastic result. The Brits can now catch all they want: perhaps someone should have warned them they need to be able to sell it too.
I suppose they could export it to Rwanda, Sudan and Nepal instead.

All well and good, but I’m pretty sure Neill doesn’t get a vote on the issue and while he may be able to make his points on Twitter, Scottish independence is the sort of issue people want based on emotion, not reason.

It's a shame there isn't some where they can put them which is very cold to stop them from from wasting.
As for sales , they will have to find new markets it's not difficult .
I see business opportunities throughout the globe . Good growth to come for both the Uk fishing and merchant Navy.
PS in regards to the Scotland leaving the Union I personally as an Englishman would like to be given a vote to keep them in the Union or not.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it - would be fantastic for England!! (If Mr. Neil's arguments are right of course!)scobienz wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 2:45 pmSpigzy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 9:23 amFollow Andrew Neil on Twitter & you can shake a stick with about 100 reasons why Scots won't leave the UK at any Scot caught up in the hyperbole.

On fishing, the industry as a whole was extremely proBrexit. Now suddenly they are crying that they didn’t realise it would hurt them. It makes you wonder if they understand their own industry.
Of course they can find new markets. But the joy of having their key market a short ride away was that their produce could be sold fresh to their customers easily. Now the who industry will have to reinvent itself to be able to sell a highly perishable product that most customers want extremely fresh, but on the other side of the world.
Schadenfreude is a wonderful thing.
On the other hand if other EU members had a say, England would never have been able to leave to begin with.Fred Edwards wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 3:24 pmPS in regards to the Scotland leaving the Union I personally as an Englishman would like to be given a vote to keep them in the Union or not.

I love scampi and have never eaten a langoustine. Put breadcrumbs on it and freeze it and it will sell at home, as long as the price is not silly.scobienz wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 5:19 pmFred Edwards wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 3:24 pmIt's a shame there isn't some where they can put them which is very cold to stop them from from wasting.

I will gladly eat scampi for England.

If there was a bigger demand for it at home I'm sure they'd be selling it there. As it is, I'd guess that scampi and other seafood sales in the UK are right down with all the COVID effects like pubs being closed.
