So Germany exports 32% worlwide and we export 57% worldwide so our biggest export market is worldwide and what we've done is given ourselves the opportunity to expand our biggest export market So there are only two export markets - EU and ‘worldwide’? OK then we trade with countries within the EU and countries within the rest of the world |

Just out of curiosity, my excuse for being on my laptop and phone all day. Is I am retired and filling my day when I can't get out fishing. So how many on here are retired, I'm guessing most are, as it appears to be the same people posting from early morning to late at night. I doubt many could fit work in.

Not retired, hardly had a day off since first lockdown started, being part of the construction army thrown to the lions by Boris and the boys. |

What about those outside of it? On a serious note there was nothing preventing us from exporting to the rest of the world pre-Brexshit. |

Always said next year will be the last but it never happened, can't remember many days off in 56 years. No pension but I did get a bad back out of it. |

...you'd have to be an even bigger one to want your country to fail simply because you were on the losing side of a vote. Time to snap out of it comrade! Where have I said I want it to fail? It’s just inevitable. A deeply flawed flagship policy with no grounding in the real world delivered by a carnival of liars, crooks and incompetents. I appreciate that the helmets who helped deliver this are looking for people to blame, but really it’s not the fault of random non-league football fans on a message board who aren’t cheering loudly enough.

Slightly less than half I think you’ll find. Sorry if my calculations were wrong but 3.8% of a population of 66.65 million does not seem like a significant win to me and not one big enough to curtail debate on the subject. |

Okay you carry on debating while you wait for your progressive party to take over and save the day. I’ll give it a miss. |

The fishing and farming industries confuse me. Would it not be a good idea to be a little more inward looking, I really like fish in fact all seafoods but I find the cost of wet fish ridiculously high, so why not sell our catches at home cheaper because there would be no export costs. This would then stop the need to import fish win win situation. The same with meat and veg. Have you seen the price of lamb and beef. There was a guy on the radio yesterday complaining he has a massive surplus of veg due to all hospitality being closed, well sell it cheaper and people will soon get into the habit of buying home produced food. I was taught from a very early age in my work we don't have problems we only have solutions.

The majority of fish caught in U.K. waters are varieties that we don’t eat much of, they are much more popular on the continent - herring, sardine, whiting, shellfish. The stuff we eat (cod, haddock etc.) is caught out in the mid-Atlantic., in international waters. It wasn’t like the U.K. fishing industry were warned that it’s no good landing as much fish as you want if you have no market to sell it. |

And you can't beat a plateful of mussels. So there is a market even if it's just me |

I had the pleasure or should I say the horror of working on 3 chicken producing plants in Germany. They consisted of rows of warehouses packed tight with thousands of chickens bred to size within 12 weeks. Removed slaughtered and packed, while a front loader scraped the warehouse floors clear of dead chickens and other waste prior to the next batch being packed in. Yum yum |

Just back from doing the weekly shop at Morrison’s and disappointed, but not surprised, to see empty shelves in the seafood section, with no fresh shellfish available. Well done Brexshit.

I can’t understand why you’re disappointed, only yesterday you were saying how much you were enjoying chickens coming home to roost for the fishing industry regarding their support of the Tories. Unless the disappointment was purely personal at the thought of missing out on your Saturday night paella. |

Thats breakfast ruined as well then Ian, what are you going to do without your oysters? It hasn't been entirely ruined. At least it gave him the opportunity to put the Morning Star down for a moment and come on here to moan about Brexit again. In his outrage though, he forgot to include his signature throwaway comment about the Tories! |

Given that only yesterday he stated that we dont eat much shellfish in the UK and they are much more popular on the continent, I think he may have answered his own question anyway...

Looks like the Johnson and his Right Wing Popularists are taking aim at the European Working Rights Directive. An assault on workers rights and employment protection, is on the cards Never trust a Tory. Maybe some hard lessons for the Red Wall coming up?

you’d have to be a masochist to destroy trade with your biggest export market. ...you'd have to be an even bigger one to want your country to fail simply because you were on the losing side of a vote. Time to snap out of it comrade! That surely depends on how wrong you believe the vote was. Should Germans be sorry that Hitler failed? |

I actually feel sorry for Ian, he's finally stumbled upon a real example of the impact of Brexit on his own life, and its merely down to morrisons not sourcing the shellfish in a sustainable method like other supermarkets who are ahead of the game have done. Wouldn't surprise me if Tesco were buying direct from UK shores and Morrisons buying from the continent... |

Not sure where Tescos get all their seafood from but when I've bought mussels they are Scottish mussels, the salmon is scottish salmon and the cod is atlantic cod so most probably supporting the UK fishing industry |

Nothing to do with the price of fish but it may effect millions of people when they find they are asked to work longer hours for less pay or find that your new contract, includes a reduction in your paid holiday leave etc. |
