Our deep sea fishing fleet largely died due to the cod wars. This seems to have been completely erased from history for some though.

70% of what we catch, we export to the EU. Without a free trade deal with the EU the already small U.K. fishing industry is ****ed. The idea that we’re about to be create a huge fishing industry again is for the ****ing birds. Oh and most of our territorial waters are off the coast of Scotland btw. That’ll be the same Scotland who are being dragged out of the EU against their will, and will undoubtedly have another independence vote in the none too distant.

I was born on the East Cost in a fishing town in Yorkshire (god's county) where the fish industry was big when I was a lad. Gradually it's been eroded to a point where the only things caught now are crustaceans. I know those communities blame the EU big time for the demise of one of the biggest employers in town.
