5 minutes on the back of a fag packet at the last minute
Technically they could do a deal on December 31st they said, but it's all looking like if it is it will be on the back of a fag packet..

God this Navy/fishing thing is utterly, utterly stupid. It's brinkmanship and disgusting.
The right thing to do, after Brexit, if the coastal boundaries are so important, is set up a mechanism by which fishermen on both sides can report incursions, providing GPS data and photographs, and actually find out how common those incursions are, before you consider sending the armed forces in.
Of course the gov't knows this, but the Brexit Brigade have made fisherman into these weird folk heroes for the cause, so they want to appear as though they're backing them.

This gunboat nonsense really highlights the underpinnings of the whole Brexit misadventure. The only constant from day 1 of this reckless Tory party political gamble has been jingoism and patriotism of the most juvenile kind. It started with "they're coming over ere stealing our jobs" (jobs that Brits won't do) and ends with "they're coming over ere stealing our fish" (fish that Brits won't eat). Standing in passport control going into Europe from now on and having to separated out and identified with this ****-shower will be embarrassingly as hell.
