What do tariffs have to do with the price of fish
Sod the fish, swap it for BaCoN. Who eats Fish & Egg McMuffin anyway?

Damn, that's a thought. Prices of bacon. Damn leavers.
Well, they're f****d then aren't they.
I have a dream.....Bring bacon on said boat, collect the same weight in fish on the way back?

It is difficult to understand how we ended up with less than 10% quota of the fish in our territorial waters. I see no reason why Britain cannot impose and EU compliant fishing tax. The greeks charge a cruising tax for vessels in their waters without a problem.
I thought you had a grasp of basic economics.
Do you also fail to understand why other UK based industries are foreign owned or just fishing? Fishing is not important to the UK government and never has been.

Fishing is very important to not only the UK government as well as other EU countries governments but not economically. It is a totemic issue.

I'm not talking about quota leasing or sale. I'm talking about how the UK ended up with a small share of fishing rights in its own waters. The quotas were based on where your vessels fished in the 1970s. At that time UK boats were fishing outside EU waters mainly. In the mid 70s UK boats were pushed out of these waters when Iceland extended it is limit to 200nm. There was no rebalancing of EU quotas at that time. France gets over 80% of the east channel, not because UK quota owners have sold their rights, but because France had the quota to start with.
Can you explain why basic economics is relevant?
